Deus Ex: Human Revolution | Latest Games


Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an upcoming first person role playing game and the third game of the Deus Ex sequel, a prequel to the original game. It is being developed by Eidos Montreal and to be released this upcoming August 21, 2011. Deus Ex sequels revolve around tactical gameplay which allows the players to make crucial choices anytime. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is different in terms of gameplay because of it's Combat, Stealth, Hacking, Exploration and Social aspects. Players can also switch between these gameplay types anytime they want, and certain parts of it may flow into others. Modifications with the body of your character that allow the user to use superhuman abilities is a cool part of the series. While the first modifications in the first two games of Deus Ex were nanotech, this third installment can be both nanotech or mechanical augmentations.



These so called augmentations carries each of the five gameplay types. The player's character can always kill his enemies while not pushing the player into acts of massive violence. While enhancing the player's performance in each gameplay selections, it also allows the players to craft their new methods of play through Augmentations. There is a squad leader who will direct the actions of his teammates in your every enemy. The Squad falls into disarray if the leader is killed. On Deus Ex: Human Revolution, weapons will fire distinct ammunition types instead of depleting a unified pool unlike any other invisible War. In order to better suit the character, players can also upgrade their weapons. Human Revolution title was derived from a regenerating health model unlike from it's previous titles in the series. The developer's changed it because they don not want the players to get into a situation where the players are unable to progress with the game due to low health, and would preferably search for med kits and foods. The developers found out that this behavior is breaking the flow of the game when one retreats to search the entire level for foods and medical kits.

Eidos Montreal believed that regenerating health model will encourage strategy and tactical forming retreats, but not to tension the players if the flow of the game is disrupted. The will still include health restoring consumables, just like food despite using a regenerating health model.Deus Ex: Human Revolution has another major change because of the highlighting of objects every player can interact with. This feature was witnessed in a game play preview that was released last Match 2011. Player can turn off this highlighting of objects through the game options. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is primarily a first person game, but will switch its viewpoint after using certain Augmentations, Cover system, or for melee combat actions. If you want to know more about Deus Ex: Human Revolution just stay tuned for latest games and latest game reviews in Game-Metal.




How to find the elastic force of a spring

Springs are interesting physical objects. They exhibit what scientists call Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM). SHM simply means that the object's displacement is proportional to the restoring force of the object.



You can wrap your head around that gibberish by thinking of a spring in three separate positions.



Spring A is compressed, and so naturally you would expect it to push outwards. Spring B is just sitting there, in that weird equilibrium state(no net force in any direction). Spring C is extended, so you'd expect a force pulling it back in. Do you see the connection? There exists a point where the spring is neither retracting nor extending. This point is the so-called goal of the spring. If it's extended past it, it will retract towards it, and if it's compressed beyond it, it will extend towards it.

Now here's the interesting part: the greater the distance from this magical equilibrium point, the greater the force that's applied towards the opposite direction. Opposite direction? What I mean is opposite of the direction of the displacement (the distance that it moved). So if you stretch the string out north, it wants to pull back south.

So what exactly is the effect on the elastic force of say.. 5 meters? 10 meters? How do you know the difference? We know it's linear (AKA proportionate) so it's not going to exponentially increase. But by how much?

The answer is within what is called the Spring Constant. The Spring Constant is written as Newtons per meter. What it represents is the amount of force required to compress or extend the spring 1 meter. It is the stiffness of the spring. The higher the number, the stiffer the spring.

So if we're given a displacement (the amount we pulled or pushed the spring) we can multiply this by the spring constant and vola! We have a force. This force is the amount we are putting into the spring to get it to it's current displacement. We know the spring is pulling back equally this amount because it's not moving from this position. Therefore, we know that this force is the Elastic Force of the spring!

Here is the equation:

F = -kx

K is the spring constant, and X is the displacement. We put a negative sign there because the force is equal and opposite to the product of K and X.

Cool huh?

Egg Savior 1.2 in the market

I have just finished a new version of Egg Savior, with three new levels and the following enhancements:
  • Automatic scroll when approaching an screen edge. Can be configured, or even disabled if you dislike it.

  • Now you can drag the pieces that were below the inventory. This was a bug and on some devices could get very annoying.

  • The audio resumes after turning off/on the screen. This was related to this contribution in StackOverflow.

  • The game is now paused when you return from another app, avoiding you to lose the game if you had an incoming call.

If you are reading this from an android device, you can download Egg Savior from this link:

I am working on an in-depth article explaining the Blender/Android pipeline that was used to develop this game. Stay tuned!

Supporting Android 1.5 in the new ADT

It seems that the last version of the ADT behaves slightly different from the previous versions and may involve changing code. One of the changes that I have seen is that you must explicitly disable formatting in the strings.xml files if you have more than one placeholder that you will use from code (like %s).

The other one was discovered by one of the OTempo users (Jose Miguel). It seems that ADT can not package correctly the resources if there is a folder called "drawable-mdpi". This is odd, because "drawable" is for density independent images, not mdpi ones. This behaviour seems to affect only Android 1.5 devices, as I could not reproduce it on 1.6, 2.1 or 2.2.

I think that I will have to learn to live with this, at least until the last Android 1.5 user migrates or changes its phone.

Expect a new version of OTempo in the following hours.

Gears of Wars 3 | Latest Games


Gears of War 3 is a third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games, published by Microsoft Game Studios for PC and Xbox 360. Gears of War 3 was released last April 2011. And it is the third installment of the Gears of War series that concludes the trilogy.

Gears of War 3 will feature a four player co-op mode and the introduction of three playable female characters: Samantha Byrne, Anya Stroud, and Bernadette Mataki, a character in the novels of Karen Travis. There's another new playable character, Jace Stratton, a seasoned soldier, who appears in comic books, and was mentioned in the second game.

The game will include new weapons, including a double-barreled gun and a pendulum War Lancer, with a standard bayonet attached. In June issue of Game Informer, Epic unveiled other new weapons as an incendiary grenade, a new heavy weapon called Digger launcher that fires explosive Piranha creatures that dig into the ground at high speed. Another new heavy weapons, One Shot, may take down any enemy with one round. The gun Gorgon is now a fully automatic weapon, known as the Gorgon SMG. In addition, a new tower was found that allows up to four of these weapons to be mounted on it.

Fully adjustable, custom "Mech" is available in some parts of the game, armed with a machine gun and rocket launcher. It has two operating modes, mode of attack, will be addressed as a normal character of a stationary mode, it crashes and the introduction of his armor, as well as cover the Gears of his other leg.

Hip-hop Drake Ice-T is the voice of Jace Stratton and Griffin, respectively. Claudia Black is the voice of Sam Byrne. Locusts have also been expanded with the addition of the seeker of the grenade, Boomer Wild Beast Desert Siege, and a new variant Kantus.

New movements in the game include the ability to swap weapons with squad mates and hit the enemies while going on the cover, as seen in the demo. Players will also be able to cast Lambent enemies away after being killed by a saw or a bayonet. Gears of War 3 is a massive and awesome game to play for everyone.

The New Android Phone Is Coming Soon

It is nearly impossible to have not heard about the iPhone and the Blackberry. You have probably heard about the Pearl. You may know about the Android phone, which is on the market. The truth is Google's Android phones have spread throughout the cell phone market and it's possible you don't even realize it! One reason is a variety of cell phone manufactures have chosen to adopt the Android operating system into their phones. Essentially, your choice for superior phones is wider than you probably realized. The top Android phones are just as good as any other smart phone on the market. When you consider buying a new phone, here are some of the best choices among the Android phones.

The Motorola Quench is a superior Android phone. The Quench is a later Motorola model that has been reinforced with the Android operating system. Eight Motorola models use the Android system. The phone has a screen that is only a little larger than three inches, but it has a screen with very high definition (320 x 480). In addition, it uses the Motorblur technology, which is meant to provide social networking users with a better experience. It utilizes the Android 1.5 operating system and comes with Wi-Fi capability, GPS, a five-megapixel camera and so many other apps that will have the users overjoyed.

One of the popular Android phones is the HTC Desire. The Nexus One handset, produced by Google, is available with this Android phone. Truthfully, the HTC Desire is more or less an enhanced version of the original model. Equipped with an Amoled WVGA display, the screen is almost four inches big. It has a snapdragon processor that runs with the Android 2.1 operating system. This phone also employs the use of Adobe Flash (the 10.1 version). The screen is a touch screen and uses optical joystick and track pad technology to help the user operate the system.

T-Mobiles G2 Touch is a result of the G1, which was the very first Android phone available from Google. This model has many improvements from the previous model, which had a slide out keyboard and was on the heavy side. There is no longer a keyboard, as the favored touch screen is now an opponent to the iPhone. The camera has five megapixel capabilities and you can talk for eight hours on it before it dies and you need to recharge the battery. You should definitely take note this phone is modeled as much around the HTC Hero as it is on the G1, so if you don't really like T-Mobile, you can find an equivalent phone through a different cell phone carrier. Finding the perfect cell phone can be hard work. Asking what you want your cell phone to be capable of is a question you should ask yourself. When deciding which top Android phone is worth your money - knowing what you want out of your phone will be a benefit to you.

Appeal

Some folks have recommended that I start a blog of some sort, so... here it is!  Rather than talk about updates and Mika Mobile news, I figured I'd use this as a platform to blither about game design, the industry in general, and other stuff that may not be of much interest to most people. :)

I figured I'd start by talking a little bit about my game design philosophy.  As you can probably tell from playing Mika Mobile games, animation is at the top of my priority list no matter the project.  Animation had been my sole career focus up until a couple years ago - I was mentored during college by veteran animators at Pixar, and have worked as a character animator for several years on a handful of triple-A games since then.  The animation industry has a very specific culture, and it has a way of beating some concepts into your brain through prolonged exposure.  One of these core principles which translates not just to animation, but design in general, is the idea of appeal.

Appeal, from an animator's perspective, is a combination of posing, proportion, character design and motion that comes together and feels "right" somehow.  If you've ever done figure drawing from a live model, you've probably heard the same idea - the goal isn't to just copy what you see, but to exaggerate/modify here and there to make an illustration that pleases the eye.  What any given person finds pleasing may seem entirely subjective, but our brains are actually hard-wired to react positively or negatively to certain visual impulses, much the same way that we find certain audio patterns pleasing (or annoying).  The more you draw, and the more you animate, the more you develop your eye for appeal.

So when it comes to games, I think the appeal of the characters from a purely visual standpoint is extremely important in order for the game to get its hooks into you.  I spend a lot of energy when I work obsessing over the drawings of the characters, the thickness of their outlines, trying out player movement in a test environment, tweaking their movement speed and animation until the way they move around the screen just feels good.  Little details such as the "bounce" the characters do in Battleheart when selected, or the way they "plop" themselves into place after moving to a designated spot may seem superficial, but it all helps to create an appealing visual experience which draws you in.  If the game were comprised of different colored cubes that moved around the screen in a rigid, lifeless fashion, nobody would bother to play it, or get anywhere near as invested in their party even if the mechanics underneath were exactly the same.

This doesn't just apply to characters either, I think it extends into everything we interact with.  What's so compelling about the iPhone anyway?  The touch screen was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.  The act of tapping, swiping, and pinching, and the surprising responsiveness of the OS was groundbreaking when it first made its appearance.  It's the little details, like the way your pages of apps animate when you swipe from left to right - its not linear, it actually has some deceleration that smooths it out.  When you rearranged icons, they don't just pop from place to place, they slide around smoothly.  It's all in the interest of making the experience more tactile and appealing.  Other popular iPhone games have capitalized on these same concepts - I think Flight Control owes much of its success to a charming art style, the satisfying audio-visual response you get when tapping a plane, and the snappy, accurate, but slightly-auto-smoothed line drawing that results from your finger movement.  Cut the Rope is another one that combines appealing art, sparse but effective audio queues, and a very tactile, responsive input mechanic into a masterpiece that is compelling to the human brain on a very primitive level, yet still satisfies your higher brain functions with smart puzzle design.

So in short, it's easy to forget when you're making a game that you're not just building a set of rules, or a pile of content.  You're crafting an experience, and most players aren't willing to give your game a chance unless it grabs them somehow.  Animation happens to be my weapon of choice to achieve this.  Once I've got the player hooked with some initial visual polish, they'll stay with me while I go elsewhere, into more complex rules, strategies and RPG mechanics.

In addition to this, according to NPDFunworldSM data, San Andreas was the top selling Playstation 2 title in the United States in October and November 2004.

The story goes like this.. Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas. A city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption.

Google Android Phone Review

Researching which cell phone to buy can be hard work. You might not need all of the bells and whistles that come with most phones these days but they sure can be fun to play with! There is a predicament that each phone offers different bells, whistles and toys.

How can you decide which phone will best suit your needs? With so many choices of cell phones on it is mind boggling to make a selection. The Google phones have recently become high in demand, thanks to Google's Android operating system. Now incorporated by many cell phone producers is the Android operating system. Here are some of the best Android phones available on the market now.

The Acer BeTouch E110 is highly ranked among the Android phones. There are multiple Acer BeTouch phones available on the market. The E110 is a smart phone running with the Android 1.5 software set. It is not the most up-to-date model of phone from Acer's technology, but the BeTouch E110 can do almost everything the other smart phones can do. Acer comes with it's own interface to help people use their phones. This phone has a little touch screen that is powered by a 416 MHz processor. The touch screen is less than three inches big! The touch screen is smaller than three inches in size!

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is another phone that everyone raves about. It belongs to the Xperia X10 line of cell phones. This phone latches on to the X10 Mini phone by adding a keyboard that comes out from the screen.

This phone has a display less than three inches and runs on the Android 1.6 operating system. Even still, the phone is a cinch to learn and can do everything its larger counterparts can do.

Android software is run on a popular cell phone called the Acer BeTouch E400. The 2.1 Android software platforms are utilized on this phone. If you want to get technical, it is essentially a smart phone. Users benefit from a touch screen that is more than three inches (3.2 to be precise). Twelve millimeters is the minimal width. In addition to GPS, a 600MHz processor and Wi-Fi capabilities, the Acer Company has also installed their own user interface to parlay the Android system. This is a relatively new phone so not many people have contributed reviews on it yet.

Cell phones have certainly evolved from the days when they were built like giant breaks and could barely fit in briefcases.

These days, phones are capable of allowing you to check your e-mail, conduct a video conference and play complicated games, all while you are away from your home (or they allow you to be a couch potato). The top Android phones are all worth looking into if you have decided to go for a smart phone.

Creeper Blog is live

Well it has been for a little while. Link


Anyways, a few friends play Minecraft, and(although I don't play it my self) they requested a place to share their "creeper art." The community of this exploding game is sometimes quite obsessed with this little green monster that runs around and explodes. They post parody images, stories, etc. So I provided a place for this stuff to go.

Because I wasn't too interested in creating a whole new design. I hacked apart an existing green Wordpress theme, and  used it for my own needs. If it becomes in my interest then I will create a original theme around creepers. But for now, a simple green theme compliments the little green exploding monsters quite well.

On the technical side, I had to hook up a simple upload/attach contact form with an e-mail address. This is a similar approach that Failblog uses. That way, my friends can verify each image for non-spamming features, and then upload it to Creeperblog. Each image is treated like a post, and each post has a rating. This way a simple top-ten images feature isn't hard to accomplish.

Check it out!

UPDATE:
Creeperblog is now on frontpage search for terms such as "Minecraft Creeper Art."

Crysis: Experience Sci-fi FPS on your PC | Latest Games

Crysis is a game developed by Crytek. Set in the year 2020, Crysis is more than just an ordinary game. The story line of Crysis is, an archaeological team in Pacific island was captured by the invading North Koreans. From there the Us Special Forces team was hired to investigate and rescue the scientists. Suited with high-tech nano-suits, capable of boosting your strength, armor, and speed as well as cloaking the enemies. Parachuted in the tropical paradise with enemies ahead is something else that gives extra thrill and excitement in the game. The first half of the game will put you in the middle of incredibly large levels of tasks and objectives. How to complete this tasks and objectives is entirely up to you. Try to blast your way through the enemy lines and it's up to you on how you get through it. You can use the cloaking abilities of your nano-suit also so that the enemies won't find out that your spying around with them already.

The game features a high degree of advanced game play and visualizations. The guns and ballistics modeling makes the shooter feel as if your handling real weapons. Hitting a target with long ranges is a challenging task. Thank's to weapon recoils and other factors, it made a lot more easier to eliminate your targets one by one. The North Koreans are suited in body armor, so you have to aim their heads in order to put them on the ground. You are packed with variety of firearms, like assault rifles and shotguns. One of the great aspects
this game have is that you can fix weapon while your on the fly, adding scopes, silencers, and grenade launchers, providing that you've found them. These silencers take down North Korean guys silently, though it reduces bullet damage, meaning you've got to make your every shot count so that you can take them down easily. Flashlights mounted on your weapon is very useful in helping you get out from dark levels of the game.

Crysis gives you a lot of shooting experience. As your mission go further, the battle becomes larger and more intense action comes along your way. Your mission will not going to be that easy. It always depends on your strategies with the game. Always put your place with your character and it's going to be a lot more enjoyable. It's a tough mission but as you make your way to the enemy infantry take down your enemies and if
they're already dead, you can pick up their dropped rocket launchers and use it against them. Crysis is not just a simple mission with a single adjective in the game. Crysis can twist your gaming experience and will make your heart pump faster than normal. It will always be an awesome and challenging game to play, Crysis is also a lot more cooler and more intense to play than any other games out there.

Pub Checkers

Here's a classic checkers game you can play by yourself or another player. The game loads fast and can be a nice alternative to the usual games out there. The game level is good enough, the computer was able to beat me 3 to 1 out of the 4 games I played.
Playing with another player is more fun, but you do have to take turns and pass him your blackberry ( no bluetooth ). Pubchecker works with all the blackberry phones I tried making it a must game even for older phones.

Installation/Download trouble?

There are a couple issues that people run into very often on Android.  One of them is the fact that many devices have their download cache restricted, either because they came that way from the factory (such as most Samsung's) or the user has installed some kind of third party modification, such as CM7.  This can lead to downloads over a certain size failing for no apparent reason.  If you're running CM7, check out their forums for a solution to this problem.  If your device is stock and you can't download an app, then I recommend trying to download it from the Amazon App Store instead, which doesn't have the same app size restrictions as the android market. 


Another possible issue can occur after the app successfully downloads, but then won't install.  The following is a fix for this issue.


I discovered this little nugget of information on another developer's blog - Angry Mob Games, another cool group of folks who use Unity to develop apps.  Word is these steps can help you install apps onto your SD card on certain phones that are a little picky otherwise.  The following is quoted from their FAQ, and most likely applies to any installation issues you may be having with Battleheart.


On certain devices/Android OS versions, there's a problem when installing the game to the SD card.  This is true especially if you're seeing the 'Unknown Error 18' when installing the game, or updating it.  To fix it, there are two options: the hard way, which fixes this for good, and the easy way, which you have to do each time you install an app.


Hard way:

  1. Connect your device to the computer via USB
  2. Mount the device as a USB drive
  3. Go to the '.android_secure' folder and delete the 'smdl2tmp1.asec' file
  4. Unmount the device and try to install the game again



Easy way:

  1. Uninstall Battleheart
  2. Unmount the SD card
  3. Clear the Marketplace cache and data in the Applications Manager
  4. Install Battleheart again
  5. Mount the SD card back
  6. Move the game to the SD card, if you wish

Point Blank is a Pure Blast | Latest Games

Point Blank is the number one FPS game played in Indonesia, Thailand and also Russia. And just recently, this game was released by e-Games here in
the Philippines. This game was developed by Zepetto and it was released in South Korea last 2008, Thailand and Russia last 2009. If you're familiarized with Counter-Strike, I'm sure you are aware of this game already. Point Blank is an online first person shooter game which has the similarity in terms of gameplay with Counter-Strike. In Point Blank there are 2 team selections the players can select, its either the Rebels or CT-Force team. Just like in  Counter-Strike, the rebels are the (Terrorist Forces) while the CT-Force team are the (Counter-Terrorists). Each team are required to complete their objective or mission and eliminate their opposing team. There are four different character models to choose with, but you have to select only one character. You can also buy skins for your character, outfits, and also accessories to make it a lot more cooler.

Before the round begins and before your character respawns, you are allowed to change your weapon or equipment. The game points in PB are awarded if you made an head shot, killed an enemy, or won a round, etc. What makes PB one of the top Fps and unique game is that PB has exciting game features. The game has a wide range of maps, cool array of weapons, and interactive environments. It also allow the players
earn skills through level progression and use of weapons. Point Blank is a game that focuses on the skill of the players. Players who are fun of playing FPS games before will really love this game because of its fast gameplay and intense battles. Unlike any other online fps games, you are allowed to fly helicopter on Point Blank and use it against your opponents. But well of course you're opponents can shoot you also with
rocket propelled grenades. You can customize your cross hair, depending on you if what cross hair you prefer to choose.

The 5 game modes in Point Blank are Deathmatch, Bomb Mission, Destroy, Eliminate, and lastly AI challenge. There are also 24 maps through the game, each maps are interactive and fun for the players to play with. The team that reaches the total number of kills first, wins on Deathmatch game mode. While on the bomb mission mode, the red team must attempt to plant and detonate the bomb in the bomb site, or they must kill all the players in the blue team in order to win. Blue team is responsible to defend the objective and kill all the red bombers, blue team also wins if they can defuse the bomb in the bombsite. In Destroy mode one team must destroy the objective target in the enemy's area while defending their target. If the objective is destroyed before the time limit runs down, the team that scored the most on their opponent's objective wins this mode. On the other hand eliminate mode have only one objective, you have to eliminate the opposing team! If you want to practice, AI challenge is a mode in which one up to four players will have a practice game with the bots or AI opponents. But the bots difficulty can be set from easy to expert, it's up to you if what difficulty fits your skills. Point Blank is surely one of those games that will make you extend your time till the last hour in the computer shop... A confession from an addict Fps gamer before! :)

Egg Savior 1.5 is here!

After a lot of work, I have published a new version of Egg Savior, my Android game. This version includes three new levels and these improvements:
  • Added a level panel, where you can see your achievements. I had advanced it here.

  • The last level includes something new that will change the gameplay in next levels.

  • Changed black background in small levels for a more interesting one. I hope that this makes the game less ugly :)

  • If the chicken is teleported into an obstacle, it dies. This makes the game a bit more realistic (As much as possible with teleportation system ;-)

  • Changed game icon for a more dynamic one. I hope this attracts more players.

Orc Defender for Iphone | Latest Android Games

Orc Defender is a multiplayer online game that uses the GPS capabilities of iPhone which allows you to create fierce and cool warriors. Custom characters can belong to any of the six classes: Champion, Guerrero, Druadan, Supervisor, Hunter, and Monk, each with bonus melee, magic, lock statistics, speed and health.

Orcs can be equipped with weapons, shields, rings, spells and potions to give them the advantage in battle. You can name your character whatever name you like to. Orc Defender has a random name generator but it seems pretty useless, because almost all the name that it suggests are already been used by another player.

Once you've created your orc it is the time to zoom out and find opponents. The game requires you to constantly go online and use the iPhone's GPS to site your position on the map. On Orc Defender you can post forts, citadels and keeps you from your backyard to the Eiffel Tower. You win the territory by defeating the defenders of the other players, which are marked by red flags with filters so that the opponents of equal strength are displayed.

Battle arenas are suitably dark and dirty, the 3D characters sufficiently detailed to show the whole part of your terrible ogres. However, the animations are not as fluid or natural as could be but Orc Defender is really fun to play with. Always check this blog for the latest android games and the latest games in any platform.

Diablo III: Welcome to the Sanctuary of Darkness | Latest Games

Diablo III is an action dark fantasy role playing game developed by Blizzard. Diablo III is the third installment of the Diablo sequel. Diablo III features elements of slashing and dungeon quests. This game was first announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France last June 28, 2008. The dark fantasy world of Diablo series takes place in a world called sanctuary. This sanctuary was saved by handful unnamed heroes for twenty years before in Diablo II. Now it's up to the new generation heroes to face the forces of evil opponents that threatens the world of Sanctuary. There are a lot of opportunity the players can explore such as Tristam.

Diablo III have the similarity in style from it's previous version Diablo II. The game features destructible environments with an, in-game damage effect. DirecX 10 will not be required for this version of Diablo because the developers are aiming to make the game run on a wide range of systems. The developers used Custom 3D engine for Diablo III to present an overhead view to the players. In ways such as crawling up the side of a wall from the depths into the combat area utilized the 3D environment for the enemies as well.

Just like Diablo II, multiplayer games is possible by using Blizzard's Battle.net service. It's just one of the new many features here in Diablo III, that service is developed in Starcraft II also. You can play with other players and be able to drop in, and drop out from game sessions. The game also features enhanced game system, random encounter generator, random level generator in order to provide the players much greater experience when it is replayed. Both static and randomly generated levels will be included in the game also. In addition from these features, you can go along with the main storyline quests through class-specific quests. Blizzard decided to divert the gameplay rather than have it in-game cut scenes.

There are new armor pieces that will be available in the game also : arm-guards, arm leggings and shoulder plates. Unlike the previous versions, you can pick up the gold by just touching it rather than picking it up manually. The sidekicks are now cooler unlike Diablo II, but these sidekicks will only be available while your on single player mode. These new features are intended to speed up the gameplay. Skill Runes is another new feature where you can modify your items that are dropped by monsters and used across all classes. Although this is quite similar to Diablo II, they can be attached to skills even though they are just items. The result will be your each skill is changing completely. The skill runes also have the ability to make one specific spell in each class more powerful, giving the player options on how it affects a particular spell. I'm quite excited for this game and im sure it's going to be a lot more of hell while playing it. Watch out for it's official release.

Phones With Android OS

Looking For Phones With Android OS

Nowadays, nearly everybody has a cell phone. Even people who swore that they would never ever find a cell phone useful have acquiesced to the convenience of mobile phones and technology. How else can you explain the trend of pay as you go cell phones? Rising in popularity among cell phone models on the market is Google's Android phone. Its smart phone technology is giving its competition a lot to contend with. How do you know which Android Phones are among the top when there are already so many Android Phones to choose from? Some of the phones with the best reviews are listed below.

One of the top Android phones on the market is the LG InTouch Max GW620. Many consumers who purchase this phone tell everyone they know. They insist that the phone is almost perfect. It has a great five megapixel digital camera and buyers rave about how easy the interface is to use. You don't need to be concerned about the battery until you've reached eight hours of talking time. This is the phone for someone who likes to make calls and appreciates being able to access things that are only available with smart phones. The only thing we can find to complain about is the cost. The price is a bit steep.

One the in-demand Android phones is the HTC Desire. This Android phones uses a Nexus One handset designed by Google. In fact, the HTC Desire is basically just an enhanced version of the original model. It has a display screen that is nearly four inches big and uses an Amoled WVGA display. It has a snapdragon processor that runs with the Android 2.1 operating system. This phone also enlists the use of Adobe Flash (the 10.1 version). To assist the user in operating the system, the screen is a touch screen with optical joystick and track pad technology.

T-Mobile's G2 Touch is the follow up to the G1, which was the very first Google Android phone. This model has many improvements from the previous model, which had a slide out keyboard and was on the heavy side. The keyboard is gone, now that it has a touch screen that is right up there with the iPhone. The camera has 5-megapixel capabilities and you can chit-chat on the phone for eight hours before you need to recharge a dead battery. It is important to note, however, that this model is based as much upon the HTC Hero as it is upon the G1, so if you are not a fan of T-Mobile, you can find a similar phone through another provider.

Cell phones have come a long way since the days when they were giant bricks that could barely fit into briefcases.

These days, phones are capable of allowing you to check your e-mail, conduct a video conference and play complicated games, all while you are away from your home (or they allow you to be a couch potato). If you have decided to with a smart phone, the best Android phones are each worth looking into.

Bulletstorm: Vengeance is a must! | Latest Games

Bulletstorm is one of my most anticipated first-person shooter game ever. It was developed by Epic Games and People can Fly, but it was published for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows by Electronic Arts. Bulletstorm was  released in North America on February 22, 2011, and in Europe on February 25, 2011. Bulletstrom is recognized by its harsh humor and sense of style. When the players performed massive kills they are being rewarded with points. However, the game does not have any competitive modes.

The setting of the game takes place during the 26th century, a secret black-ops army called Dead Echo is protecting the Confederation of Planets. The game's main character Grayson Hunt and his cyborg partner Ishi Sato went AWOL after they discovered that they are being set up in killing innocent civilians,because all they know is that they are killing murderers and drug dealers. Ten years later they attempted to take revenge on their commanding officer General Sarrano and his forces, but Grayson Hunt's and Ishi Sato's ship crashed and landed to a planet called Stygia. Stygia was former a resort planet but now it is ruined by meat-eating plants, criminals, giant monsters, and mutant tribes. As the result of the crash, Hunt's partner  Ishi is gravely injured, and to save him, he requires an energy cell power. Hunt's another comrade Rell goes off to find and retrieve an energy cell from a fallen escape pod. In order to preserve Ishi's brain their doctor in the ship successfully merges Ishi's brain with the ship's AI. But bandits managed to get inside their ship and killed the doctor. Hunt loosed control and shoots an explosive barrel, killing the bandits, but accidentally Rell also died with them.

Only Hunt and Ishi survived the explotion and they decided to work together in order to survive, even though Ishi is angry at Hunt for killing their other comrades in the ship most especially Rell. On the other hand the General's forces crashed on Stygia also and while Hunt and Ishi is searching for a way off the planet, they encountered them and battled to survive. Through their  journey Hunt and Ishi is joined by Trishka, a woman with a dark past. And their journey towards Sarrano starts again. The gameplay of this game is great with nice effects. For me Bulletstorm is one of the most action packed game ever created.

On the other hand the suit has many improved features than it's original version, giving the players freedom to upgrade their suits depending on the player's own style. Crysis 2 is going to be a big blast than the first Crysis. Just enjoy exploring the new features of the game.

The future of Web Design and Developement

I can't help but think that rapidly changing technology is centered on the internet and connectivity. We are moving towards a common destination; the world of personal processing power, big screens, and localized computing is diminishing. Where are we going?




Cloud Computing

With huge leaps in internet technology, we find that more and more we are presented with a cloud system. That is to say, we are having our processing done at a different location. Our computers are acting more as a terminal--a recipient of the data processed elsewhere. This world of cloud computer is breaking into our lives in the form of documents(Google docs), and is even extending to games(frame by-frame communication). I believe that the future of technology is in this system. Consumers can find less expensive computers with less processing power, and simply receive data from another high-powered bulky source. We are seeing this trend in the form of iPads, tablets, and Netbooks.


Apps, not web pages

With the change in how our data is received, we also find changes in how this data is written, processed, and designed. The old static web page has since faded into new style sheeted-dynamic data. We no longer use plain HTML, as a web developer, is it suicide to commit to this old standard professionally. We now use XHTML, CSS, PHP, and AJAX. This is because we're no longer writing websites for simple informational purposes, we're writing to be interactive. We're moving into the age of web applications.


Newer New Standards

But even these "new" standards are slowly being overtaken. As we move towards a completely networked world, there exists a demand for a more standardized, feature-rich solution(that's singular, not plural). This is because of one major thing: diversity of platforms. It seems as more and more devices shrink and find their ways into your pockets, there is also an increase in the quantity of operating systems. As diverse as this scheme seems, it doesn't stop there. Each operating system usually has it's own special browser, and own way of generally doing things. What does this mean for the consumer? Not a lot.


But what does this mean for the developers? A massive headache! You see, we will never get each operating system to use only one type of program. So we have to write our applications to work across multiple systems. The only obvious answer to this is to make sure that each type of program interprets the same code the same way. This, unfortunately, isn't a reality right now. But big standard setters such as the W3C are stepping in. We have standards for old static websites--HTML--but we don't have standards for the dynamic side of things. Right now developers can choose between many acronyms, and hot new animation schemes such as AJAX, jQuery, JavaScript, Flash, Flex, etc.


Meet HTML5 and CSS3

The future is coming sooner than you think. Remember W3C? They're basically saying screw all your fancy library full of engines for dynamic content. We should have ONE dynamic language. ONE standard; that will work seamlessly across multiple programs--it will be interpreted the same way. This is the dream of HTML 5. Which, as a standard, features a Javascript powered canvas element for interactive animated content. Ideally, this will replace Flash, and other web plug ins such as silver light. CSS is also getting overhauled. CSS3, the newest version, adds much more style control than ever before. Again, the key success-maker of these new technologies will be their standardization across multiple platforms.


What do you think is the future?

Android Phone APP Store

Android Phone APP Store|

Nowadays, nearly everybody has a cell phone. Even the people who vowed they would never ever discover the usefulness of a cell phone have given in to the convenience mobile phones and technology have to offer. How else can you explain the popularity of pay as you go cell phones? Google's Android phone is topping the charts for cell phone models on the market. Its smart phone technology gives the competition a lot to keep up with. There are a lot of different Android Phones to choose from so how do you know which phones are the top Android Phones? The phones below received the best reviews.

The LG InTouch Max GW620 is one of the top rated Android phones on the market. Many consumers who purchase this phone tell everyone they know. They are adamant about the perfection of the phone. It has a great five megapixel digital camera and buyers rave about how easy the interface is to use. You can talk for eight hours before you need to start thinking about the battery. Besides liking to make phone calls, this phone is perfect for someone who appreciates being able to access things that are only available with smart phones. We only found one thing to complain about and that is the cost. The price is a bit steep.

T-Mobile offers a popular Android phone called the Pulse Mini. This phone was built for the budget conscious cell phone buyer who desires the perks of an Android phone but does not want to pay top dollar for it. This phone's touch screen is not even three inches. It has a camera with 3.2 megapixels, plus it has an LED Flash that helps the photographer take higher quality photos. The phone operates with Android 2.1 software. The difference between this is and the regular Pulse phone is it had a jack for a headphone.

The Samsung Beam i8520 is a very popular Android phone. In addition to its pico projector feature, it runs on Android technology for its operating system. The pico projector allows users of that phone to project almost anything in their phone onto a wall. It allows you to have a projector at your fingertips. It also has smart phone technology in it-the aforementioned Android operating system as well as the Touch Wiz skin that was created by Samsung. The camera this phone features is 8-megapixels, which makes it even better than a majority of handheld digital cameras!

Deciding which cell phone to buy can pose a challenging task. There are tons of options out there! In the early days of cell phone popularity, many people just went with the free upgrades offered by their cell phone providers. Of course, that was back in the day when cell phones were used exclusively for making phone calls. Today cell phone are miniature computers that provide users with access to the Internet, making phone calls, snapping photos, filming video and a number of other things. The finest Android phones are in a class of the best phones on the market.


Brink: Reviewing This Cool FPS | Latest Games

Brink is a first-person shooter game released just recently. Brink was developed by Splash Damage and this game is compatible with Playstation 3, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox 360. The game is played by team based multiplayer missions. It has cool player characters and the nature of the game is approachable. The story plot of brink is about the battle of two sides, the Resistance and Security. The game takes place in a city called The Ark, a city that is surrounded with water and somehow called a floating city. The Ark is a city that is environment friendly with no contamination and renewable assets. The Ark can only support about 5,000 residents but due to unstoppable large number of refugees entering the city from all over the world, the population in the City have grown ten times higher. Due to the city's limited resources, a civil war resulted.

The developer developed a smooth movement across random terrain which lets the players navigate complex environments without sophisticated input. A player can automatically clear obstacles without having to use complicated controls just by holding down the smart button. On brink there are four character classes namely Medic, Engineer, Operative, and Soldier. The Medic's task is to heal teammates, revive and buffs their teammates health. While the task of the Engineer is to buff his teammates weapons, supply them with armor, plant landmines and complete the build and repair objectives. On the other hand the Operative interrogates fallen opponents and traces enemy locations. While the Soldier, throws grenades, resupplies teammates and has an objective to complete, destroy objectives by just using explosives. The players can customize their characters and buy experience points and special activities also. The players can choose what kind of abilities they are going to buy its either universal abilities or class specific. Universal abilities are abilities that can be use regardless of the class during a mission while the class specific abilities can be use only when the players are on this class.

The special visual features also is helpful for the players to tackle and handle the complex environment situation by analyzing their location. Brink  includes Valve Anti cheat and has steam works integration. While on multiplayer the servers can hold up to 16 players. The players can play competitively and cooperatively against artificial and intelligent opponents called bots. By completing every mission successfully, custom characters can be produced with the equipment bought with experience points. Brink is a massive game for all of the FPS addicts out there. But I think brink is expensive to purchase because it's just released recently, on the other hand with the help of other  free game downloads on some sites, im looking forward to download and play this game.

Google + (google plus) for Android, Free Download .apk File

Description:
As we all know, that Google has just released the newest social network, it's called Google +. Many predict that social networking will be the same as its predecessor, google Buzz and Google Wave. But all the predictions that can not be verified given the current Google + is still limited to people who get invitations from people who already have an account on google + before.

After Google launched its Project +, Google does not forget to release + Google applications for Android application. This application can be downloaded freely to users of Android (iPhone / Apple OS and blackberries, are not yet available). Basically the features available on Google + is almost identical to the Facebook social networking.

By using Google + for android, was able to include the location we are in, filter out the friends you want to clay with a feature called circle. For the sharing feature could say almost the same as the facebook for android, which allows us to automatically upload photos from mobile android with version 2.2 (Android Froyo) and above, with two options to include in-place upload the photo or not.

All photos will be stored in an online account each user, which is certainly related to their gmail account, and also with the optional to be seen publicly or not. And I thing it's to early to say that Google+ better than Facebook and vice versa.
