Dark Sector games

Posted on Feb 13, 2008 08:27:30 AM

Dark Sector feels like a mash-up between Gears of War and Resident Evil, with gritty, dark atmospheres and zombie-esque creatures attempting to eat you. At the same time, every single general mechanic within the gameplay itself feels like Gears of War all over again. You are even able to hold down the run button in order to sprint for a given amount of time. Even the aiming system utilizes the same style of view and zoom-in that Gears became so soundly known for.

All too often within the industry we see a timely trend of games that come along after a new, ground breaking venture explodes onto the scene. Grand Theft Auto is the mother-ship of trendy, less engaging followings, and typically, those games aren’t the best options on the market to indulge in. But from time to time, copying the system actually works well, and Dark Sector proves this to be fact.

Gamers will dawn the role of Hayden Tenno, a man on a mission to stop the catalyst of a potentially world-wide epidemic. His ultimate goal is to eliminate a virus that is spreading rapidly throughout a disjointed Soviet-bloc location. After the prologue, you quickly discover that you’ve been infected, and that this infection has given you the ability to wield a powerful weapon called the Glaive. This boomerang-like extension of your arm is what nearly all of the combat within Dark Sector revolves around.

As the story unfolds and you reach certain points in the game, key sequences will trigger your virus infection to grasp a hold of your body a little more, which in turn enhances your abilities. At one point, you will learn how to throw the Glaive extra hard by holding down the corresponding button until the reticule turns yellow. During another moment, after an epic boss battle with something resembling King Kong as a rock zombie, Hayden was granted the ability to produce a greenish colored shield for a few seconds. Due to the character’s acquisition of this shield, a few glowing green stones appeared on his infected arm. This metamorphosis will continue as you play on, and really adds nicely to the visual aspects of Dark Sector.

Visually, Dark Sector is an extremely impressive addition to the Xbox 360 lineup, and definitely falls into the upper echelon of graphically overhauled games. Digital Extremes did a fantastic job of developing an atmosphere that portrays the game’s already dark elements. You will find yourself easing around corners in fear that something may or may not leap out at you (which happens, by the way). The emphasis on darker colors and constant shadow really compliment any form of bright color that appears on the screen, so when your Glaive becomes supercharged with electricity or lit afire with flames, your eye is truly drawn to the color explosion. This contrast of light and dark also causes the Glaive to “pop” in an amazing manner.

Microsoft Zune 80 GB

Posted on Feb 11, 2008 08:19:47 AM

By now, everyone has heard about the back and forth competition between Apple and Microsoft, which has been going on since the 1990s. In the past couple of years this competition has heated up because of a recent resurgence from Apple with their new releases of the iPod, iPhone, and iMac, just to name a few. It seems that Microsoft is now making a push to regain the dominance they had over Apple throughout the 1990s.

In 2006, Microsoft released the first generation Zune, which was a 30 GB music/video player. This player was not received very well by consumers or critics. The first generation Zune did have some rough edges, and Microsoft realized that. When Microsoft came out with the design of the second generation Zunes, they addressed almost every negative issue that held the first generation model back from competing with the ever-popular Apple iPod. The new Zune comes in three flavors: an 80 GB hard drive model, an 8 GB flash memory model, and a 4 GB flash memory model.

Right now it seems as if Apple has a stranglehold on the portable multimedia device industry. I’d say almost every American from the age of 6 to 60 has at least seen or heard of an iPod. Just think how that makes Bill Gates feel. Of course, Microsoft had to retaliate with the Zune. Never heard of it? Then keep reading to find out more about the 80 GB Microsoft Zune.

The 80 GB Zune is in direct competition with the Apple iPod Classic 80 GB, and it is definitely a much more able competitor than the original 30 GB Zune was in 2006. The new Zune is the same price as the iPod at $249. There are rumors that Apple is planning a price drop of their 80 GB iPod to try and get an edge over the Zune, but I’m sure that Microsoft will counter with a similar price drop as well. The competition between the iPod and the Zune will only help consumers get the lowest price possible on their media player (isn’t competition great!).

SEGA Superstars Tennis GAmes

Posted on Feb 8, 2008 08:30:41 AM

After a few hours of play, it is apparent that it all seems to mesh together. Many of the tennis mini-games are too similar to each other; Sumo Digital needed to differentiate them drastically to make it interesting. The stages provided can be challenging at times with having players at the ready to press buttons at the appropriate time. The stages are also representative from past Sega video games with levels from House of the Dead, Super Monkey Ball, PuyoPop Fever and many more showing up. The stages with their mini-games often ask for players to accomplish a certain task such as hitting zombies, clearing out Puyos, or “tagging” the level like you would in Jet Grind Radio.

There’s also an ability that each character possesses called “Superstar Power.” It’s an ability that has players going into alpha mode to become faster and stronger with their shots, along with granting special attacks or trick shots. Gilius, from Golden Axe, will throw out his blue magic bottles that strike the other side of the court with lightning bolts and stun the opponents if they encounter them. Even though it all sounds fine and dandy, these special abilities aren’t the most alluring features to be added to the game as they become annoying when playing against your friends. But you won’t have to have them turned on all the time as there’s an option to turn it off prior to the match.

Developed by Sumo Digital, the makers of Virtua Tennis 3, Sega Superstars Tennis is full of mini-games, tournaments, quick-play matches, and the ability to jump online to compete in friendly matches. Sumo Digital opted to not include a career mode of any sorts, so in terms of replay value, gamers will have to look to the mini-games and the short tournament mode to find the longevity. Eight characters are available at the start while the other eight need to be unlocked through the mini-games. Investing your time into the mini-games is essential to get the most out of Sega Superstars Tennis.

fuji film camera FinePix F50fd

Posted on Feb 8, 2008 08:12:33 AM

Today’s consumers are much too focused on the number of megapixels a camera brings to bear. Many people believe that the more megapixels a camera offers, the better the camera is. This is entirely false. The fact is that in most cases you slow down a camera’s performance when you add more megapixels to its sensor. Image quality is also affected in some cases.

Fujifilm realized this, and they took it into consideration in the design of their compact digital cameras, such as the F30 and F31fd. It wasn’t until the release of the F50fd that Fujifilm finally seemed to cave in to the “megapixel race” that other camera manufacturers had already begun years before.

It seems that Fujifilm’s marketing department exerted more of an influence on the creation of the F50fd than the design department did. Why else would Fujifilm go from a solid six megapixel camera all the way up to a 12 megapixel camera? The only answer to this question is that they wanted to keep the consumers happy, and it seems to have slightly affected the performance of the F50fd. The F50fd is by no means a sub-par compact camera, but it doesn’t necessarily live up to the quality standards of the F31fd.

The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd is a camera that has some big shoes to fill. The success of its predecessor, the Fujifilm F31fd, has in a sense put a lot of pressure on the F50fd to exceed the standard set by the F31fd a year ago. Check out this review to find out if it did.

The F31fd was a camera that dominated its class in terms of ISO performance and image quality, even though it only had a six megapixel sensor compared to double-digit sensors being offered by the competition.
