The name of this game doesn't sound as impressive as the game is. If you like playing games like the Hitman and Splinter cell series, you are going to love it.

The story is about an old spy of Russia who is accused of treason. The missions are really typical like stunning a big officer and getting some documents from an office, but that really doesn't matter because these are overshadowed by the beautifully detailed environment and fantastic game play. You have to use your brain and stay under cover. If you blow up your cover, there are 5% chances of your survival. If you commit a mistake, the enemy is going to raise the alarm. If you wear the clothes of a soldier, you will have to use the same weapon as he uses or your enemy will know. And then I don't think I need to tell you what can happen next! You have to sneak and kill your opponents or kill them very silently which is real fun.

The requirements of this game are processor of 1.8GHz, 512 MB of RAM and 128 MB of graphics card.

I must warn you that this game can make you tear your hair and at times you will also feel like tearing your head apart; but that doesn't mean that you should not play this game. Go grab it.

My Sister's Keeper

Author: Jodi Picoult

Reviewed by Zunaira Ghaffar

Kate was only two when she was first taken to the oncology ward of the Providence Hospital. Since then, it became her second home. She had to undergo numerous surgeries in her childhood. She was suffering from a rare form of leukemia. It was then that Dr. Chance, the chemotherapist, told her parents, Brian and Sara, to go for an allogenic transplant, where a matched donor would be able to donate her bone marrow. But when Jesse, her older brother, ends up being an unmatched donor, her parents have only two choices; either to go for a 'designer baby', or to let Kate die. They go for the former one.

All through her childhood, Anna had been donating lymphocytes to her sister Kate. When Anna is 13-year-old her parents decide for her to donate a kidney to her sister, which would save her and her sister from this hassle, and she sues her parents. She files a lawsuit all by herself through a lawyer, Campbell.

From Anna's childhood memories of the time that she spent with her sister, to the life saving jobs of her father, to Jesse's abhorrent behaviour, this book revolves around sisterly love, a relationship unlike any other sibling bond. It's a combination of competition and fierce loyalty. For all those sisters out there, it's a must read.
