Blackberry Bold: most successful smartphone RIM

Named "Blackberry Bold" and part of the range of terminals "9000 series" of the mark, it is not really in the same category as the latest Apple iPhone, HTC Diamond or Samsung F490 as it remains relatively impressive compared a mobile phone. Similarly, it has no touch screen.




"The Blackberry Bold front and back"




"A location Micro SD a little fragile"



It remains compatible with Quadband EDGE networks, tribandes HSDPA, WiFi 802.11b / g and Bluetooth 2.0 (compatible with stereo headphones), all with a processor running at 625 MHz, 128 MB of flash memory, 1 GB of internal memory and a screen capable of displaying a half-VGA resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. For the rest, it will also accommodate more memory via Micro SD port (compatible HC) and store pictures in 2 megapixels with flash and 5x digital zoom.

Autonomy later, the battery capacity of 1500 mAh will take about 5 hours of talk time or 13 days of standby time.

The screen
Slab of 17 inches is brilliant, its definition is 1440x900 pixels. A small flat on the brilliance of the slab: it shocked us less than other computers. Without a mate, reflections are reduced, which is appreciable.

The persistence is low enough to play comfortably and will be unbearable for a player extreme. Player, for which the performance of the machine will anyway not sufficient.

The viewing angles are good on the sides is limited to above (the image turns white) and very poor down as the picture becomes black very quickly.

The maximum brightness of the screen rises to 330 cd / m². It is an advantage if you're outside (it maximizes your chance to see something). Indoors, it is better to descend to 200 cd / m² (6th notch down from maximum brightness). The black screen is deeper than habiture: 0.24 cd / m² for 161 cd / m² in white. The contrast ratio is obtained from 670:1. A council for movies, do not hesitate to get the brightness to reduce the visibility of tingling colors.

Need For Speed: Undercover Preview

Like a sports licence, Need For Speed returns each year we propose. World opened in Most Wanted, tuning in Underground, simple race in other parts, the series always been able to renew itself with varying degrees of ease, a need for change as a pure lack of inspiration following the wines. This year, and after a Pro Street a little disappointing for the European public that we are, Need For Speed back on the front of the stage with a new idea in its method. It is this time a game based solely on the principle of race, coated with a strong touch film. Roll youth.

Need For Speed Undercover

Need For Wheelman?
First item mentioned in the presentation, appearance completely arcade game There is no question here of meticulous settings, the whole place is reserved for sudden changes of direction, the slippages and half-turns risky. With a scenario the contours rather summary, we propose Undercover us infiltrate a gang of bad guys garnements, including putting forward our qualities driver. The only cinematic that we were able to see, tour with real actors, had the particularity not take a small ten seconds. A little short anyway so we can count on a frame scenarios which really push. Wait, however, a more advanced version to give us a better idea of this aspect of the game EA.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage

First episode of the next gen hit series, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage was first thought for the Microsoft Xbox 360 on which it was released in June. In the process, however Bugbear has embarked on an adjustment to our dear PC. Adaptation has however raised by quite a few questions: if one refers to the Xbox 360 version, new techniques and are essentially both races, environments, competitions or mini-games, Things have changed little since FlatOut 2 ... So is it an Ultimate Carnage in the series on PC?

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage

A FlatOut Ultimate if not it?
We obviously back on the technical aspect, but we must first talk about the obvious disappointment when it addresses the content of this "new" FlatOut. Indeed, the owners of the previous opus on PC will probably be very disappointed to find virtually the same tests and methods they have already returned in every sense! Solo later, we can actually count on the FlatOut mode, which offers to participate in cuts in three different categories (derby, race, street). The carnage mode has not much to see and actually includes 36 challenges divided into four categories: carnage (races during which he must kill the other), beat the bomb (go as far as possible before time does stop), waterfalls (the pilot serves as a projectile) and deathmatch derby (fighting to death in an arena).

Quantum of Solace

The newest Bond game in the well-traveled history of the franchise will be held up to the same standards, perhaps unfairly. Ok, unfairly. James Bond: Quantum of Solace is the first Bond game on the current generation of consoles. Wait, what? Really? I thought a Bond game came out once a year. Oh, it just feels like that? My bad. It’s also the first game to feature the “new Bond”, Daniel Craig. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t spoil anything for you, but Casino Royale is a pretty bad-ass movie. He’s a very different kind of Bond than Remington Steele was. And that’s good.


The story

Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

Chaos Happens (PC)

Long before Shrek and his gang do not scratch the world of fairy tales in film is that video games who was gently mocked. In 1993 a certain Simon the Sorcerer was emerging in this world pixelated. After two episodes of high quality, the third conducted in 2002 and fully 3D, was a disaster that should be quickly forgotten. Simon seemed never to have to recover from this setback and yet the Germans Silver Style has taken up the torch and we now offer this Simon the Sorcerer 4 : Chaos Happens, a fourth episode that is a return to basics. The magical world awaits us.

Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens


And now ... Whiplash in the hat!

The thrust of the adventures of the young Simon in the magical world is to laugh more or less kindly of the stencil fairy tales or mythology by proposing, through extravagant situations, much humor and characters out of step with the traditional view that we know. In this new series, while Simon and his brother compete for control of the remote, our hero takes it in the head and sink into unconsciousness. He found himself in a vortex where he met Alix, his girlfriend of the magic world, who asks him to come and help because his world is sliding into chaos. Neither or both, his alarm clock, Simon borrows cabinet travel interdimensionnels and is once again with his now famous red dress and big hat tip, the magical world. Soon he discovered that a double of himself lurking in the Kingdom with malicious intentions. He decides to conduct its investigation to essentially keep its reputation and incidentally save the world.

Red Alert 3, game

Campaigns
Uprising continues the campaign of the Allies ended, the Soviets and Japanese reports, the Allies have the world in hostile hands and the various leaders are captured or slain. It seems that the Allies have everything perfectly under control and total world domination have. The reality is different, because now the Soviets have a number of research facilities of the Allies discovered that not all equally pure coffee. The rest of the world is not happy with the research facilities and touched in revolt. Meanwhile, in Japan a rebellion in the life of military leaders, after undergoing the Empire of the Rising Sun was not under the authority of the Allies want and at times there. Your job to stand in the head button. Meanwhile you are with the Japanese also engaged in the expulsion of the Soviets in Japan, something that you or without help from the Allies to do.



These three short stories cover all three missions, except those of the Soviets, which contains four missions. The missions are generally tougher than those of Red Alert 3 and require more tactical thinking. The missions also differ in scope. Z you have only one mission with a small group of infantry games, while at the other mission with a small army a place for a basic free to, or directly to a basic start.

The biggest downside is the absence of the brilliant co-op mode as we saw in Red Alert 3. This mode was one of the most notable things from Red Alert and the loss is not only unfortunate but also incomprehensible, because the missions are still suitable for co-op gameplay. Also, during the missions every now and then trial and error and I mean mainly: save, save and save again. You regularly against new units in the missions and you know in the beginning not yet exactly how to deal with this, so you may occasionally be swept away. In that respect Uprising is a lot less forgiving.

New units
As in really any extension for an RTS, there are also a number of new units per faction.


Mortar the Cycle, Reaper, Grinder

The Soviets get the Mortar Cycle, fast engine with a soldier in the side that throws Molotov, the Reaper, an anti-vehicle version of the Sickle which can permanently change a turret, the Grinder, a vehicle with two huge wheels at the front again and Desolator, a unit known from RA2 with poison and radiation quickly with other infantry afrekent.

Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood (PC Game)

Success both commercially and critically, Call Of Juarez first name was probably not the best action game on its release in 2006, but he could count on Far West to think outside the box. This theme is of course the program later that Techland / Ubisoft should sell during the month of June. Impressions of the handful of levels are unveiled.


"I will sleep peacefully because I know that now my worst enemy watches over me"

The scenario Bound In Blood started some twenty years before the beginning of Call Of Juarez and it is still subject to direct a duo of heroes, they have changed somewhat. Billy is firstly more appointments and Reverend McCall was still called by his name, Ray, as he had not yet entered the orders. To join him, Techland has imagined the character of Thomas McCall, the brother of Ray. The two brothers were known as the McCall Brothers and developers propose therefore give us their story.

It is told through a "campaign" about fifteen missions and begins with the Civil War. In a markedly different style, we will return, the brothers are known for their courage, but also for their insubordination in the Confederate Army. The conflict ended, they are team that we do not yet know very well the nature of their activities. From this we can conclude that the different tasks presented by Ubisoft, it appears that after the war, they opposed the United States military, they are to defend their property and, later, an Indian village .

Razer Mamba Gaming mouse

Behind a Plexiglas packaging enthroned the Razer Mamba on stand. The presentation is Razer doubt succeeded. The cost of expensive packaging would probably be some production of a competing mouse over and drop the suggested retail price of 6,000 RS guess. Until the initial start-up pass, however, rich ten minutes, until the mouse unpacked, the battery and found the cable to the mouse is connected. Due to the hybrid of the latter is not absolutely necessary

Conclusion: Too expensive for a mouse




Battery and charging cradle or cable

Razer leaves the customer with the Mamba the choice between cable or charger and battery. If the cable is removed from the mouse, which comes out to the front wheel mouse exposed to light. Also, the charging and transmitting station is a real eye-catcher with blue illuminated sensor button, two gold contacts for recharging the mouse, and a blue-lit floor. If the computer off, the charging station serves as a presentation stand for the mouse.

The reinitialized the cable to the mouse is very awkward and rarely works on the first try. The connection is very much indented inwards and a clear "objectives" as good as impossible. When removing the cable must also simultaneously at the bottom operated. Microsoft does this with a magnetic plug is much more elegant and simpler solution. Whether or not the mouse, with or without wires, is covered in practice and not on the differences with the microscope must be sought.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a direct response to the original film directed by Michael Bay (The Rock, Armageddon) and especially following the footsteps of the eponymous film (Greek word). However, officials True Crime have wanted to go beyond simply porting and offer players missions entirely new and foreign film, a good thing.

BUILD AND DESIGN

The Panasonic DMC-ZS3 (also called the DMC-TZ7 in some markets) has a 10.1-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch LCD, and a 12x zoom that flattens out into a 1.29-inch-thick pocket camera. Overall, the ZS3 claims a 10 percent size reduction when compared to the TZ cameras, and although it's still a formidable model compared to many ultracompacts (and hardly pocket-size besides), the ZS3 still slightly bests the competitive Canon SX200 in compactness.

The Q(uick) menu button brings up a subset of options that are also available in the full menus: LCD brightness, picture size, aspect ratio, intelligent exposure, ISO sensitivity, white balance, AF mode--spot, face detect, AF tracking, 11-area, 1-area high speed, and 1-area--and burst shooting.
