1/9/2024 0 Comments Toribash kickIn most modes, you get about twenty seconds to position your body parts the way you want to. For instance, “sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow back” in turn one, and sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow forward) in turn two should result in a right jab. You have to position them in just the right way to get anything down. Each body part is like an individual unit in your average turn-based time strategy game. The game asks you to take control over each individual muscle group of the human body pecs, shoulders, elbows, hips, glutes, the whole thing. The goal here is to knock your opponent down, and/or rip off one of their limbs before they do the same to you. Even throwing a basic punch is a three-to-four step process. Actually, you have to take your time and plan things out. You can really take your time and plan out exactly how you want to attack. There’s tons of time to think in this game. It’s this “no time to think” thing that makes Toribash different. If your opponent knows what they’re doing (or even if they don’t) that may be it for you. Sit and think too long, and you’ll let your guard down. If you’re sitting around thinking about what to do next, chances are you’ve left yourself wide open and are already getting your butt kicked. If you don’t know how to fight, well, your brain will probably try to give you some ideas on how to defend yourself as you get broken in multiple places. If you know how to fight at all, muscle memory will take over and your body will end up reacting before your brain has a chance to. In a real fight, everything is happening so fast that you barely get to think. Have you ever imagined yourself in a fight? It’s different from a real fight. The whole game is based around controlled chaos an equal mix of strategy and luck. Is there enough here to validate a $10 purchase? Hit the jump to find out. With Cave Story (another free PC game gone for-profit on WiiWare), we got redrawn graphics, re-worked music, two new difficulty modes, and a load of other bonus features. If you’re like me, you expect that $10 to go towards something. The big difference is, the game costs $10 on WiiWare. It’s been around for a while as a free Mac/PC game, but it was only recently that the game hit consoles. Toribash is a turn-based strategy/fighting game hybrid that does a lot of interesting things.

Once he got to the end of the game it gave him the option to use the codeĬards from the original Spectrobes to enhance his army of beasties. Pokemon and Minecraft fell by the wayside until he had beaten it. Oldest son (he’s 9) fell madly in love with it. We bought Spectrobes 2 at a local used vinyl/cd/dvd/games etc. Not so hot game but worth it for the code cards if you get it cheap enough. The Collector's Edition comes with a mini-guide from BradyGAMES that includes info on every spectrobe in the game, and players are also treated to all 38 collectible code input cards, as well as two exclusive Geo cards. Battles involve using each spectrobe's distinct powers to perform combos and team-up attacks against the hostile Krawl. The awakened spectrobe is then fed various minerals to help nurture it into a fighting machine. Once a fossil is extracted, the specimen is sent to a spaceship for verbal "awakening" via microphone. Players will not only train the 500 or so creatures for battle, but they must first locate and excavate them by digging or drilling into various parts of the environment using the touch-screen interface. The two protagonists, Rallen and Jeena, are ordered to locate these sleeping beasts to help save the galaxy from an aggressive biological force known as the Krawl. The game's title refers to a group of prehistoric creatures lying dormant beneath a planet's surface. Spectrobes is a futuristic role-playing game that combines the collecting aspects of Pokémon with action-oriented, real-time combat. 1/8/2024 0 Comments Efootball 2022 reviewsThis means it’s very difficult to spray the ball around the pitch like Trent Alexander-Arnold, especially if you’re being tightly pressed by the opposition.įortunately, you can pick from a number of tactic pre-sets (such as long-ball counter and possession play) that will tell your teammates what kind of structure they should take up on the pitch, allowing you to finetune the tactics if you’re not getting enough freedom in midfield. Tapping the X button won’t result in much power either, so you’ll have to make sure you have enough space to hold the button down for every pass. You can fortunately turn off this visual indicator, but that will make if more difficult to see who you’re pinging the ball to. An arrow will pop up on-screen to show exactly where you’re passing, which is problematic for couch play. Assisted passing isn’t activated by default, so you really need to have accurate aim to get the ball to your teammate. I picked Manchester City for my first few matches, and despite having the likes of De Bruyne in my side, I initially struggled with the passing. This is a contrasting approach to FIFA, which targets a more arcade style of play that makes it easier to score a screamer or play free-flowing tiki-taka football. Konami has emphasized that, despite the rebranding, it’s still committed to creating a football game that’s as close to the real sport as possible. My immediate thoughts when taking to the pitch to play eFootball is how similar it feels to recent PES games. I unfortunately didn’t get the opportunity to try out new modes such as Creative Teams or the online tournament, but I was able to play a few matches against both the AI and another player. Konami invited me to its UK headquarters to try out the new gameplay that’s been built on Unreal Engine 4. But while all of these head-spinning changes are certainly intriguing, it will be on the football pitch itself that will determine whether eFootball will end up a flop or a world class champion. It’s a brave step for Konami, chasing financial models such as Fortnite and Apex Legends rather than the more traditional annual purchase that FIFA 2022 remains loyal to. In a move that’s just as divisie and seismic as the Super League proposals, Konami has benched PES in favour of a new free-to-play football game series called eFootball.
1/8/2024 0 Comments Tron legacy soundtrack flacIt has a real visionary quality to it." Bangalter recalled that he had composed heroic themes for the protagonists, while de Homem-Christo had written the darker musical cues. "Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first will not be erased by the new one. De Homem-Christo also stated that Tron was a strong influence on him as a child. Ĭommenting on the Tron: Legacy score, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo commented that "We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine." Daft Punk cited Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film, as inspiration for the soundtrack as well as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre. It was a continual translation between the two worlds and hopefully we put something together that will be something different because of that. We were just together working throughout the whole process and there was never a point where the orchestra was not in their minds and the electronics were not in my mind. I was locked in a room with robots for almost two years and it was simply a lot of hard work. It seems complicated at the end of the day, but it’s actually quite simple. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating: The orchestra was conducted by Gavin Greenaway. The band collaborated with him for two years on the score, from pre-production to completion. Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese, who stated he is a fan of Daft Punk as a duo and as solo artists. Kosinski stated that the score is intended to be a mixture of orchestral and electronic music. The score of Tron: Legacy features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. Noé had asked Bangalter to compose the soundtrack to the film Enter the Void, but Bangalter was working on Tron: Legacy at the time and instead served as sound effects director. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the soundtrack to Gaspar Noé's 2002 film Irréversible. When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" The film producers initially attempted to reach Daft Punk in 2007, but the duo had been unavailable due to their Alive 2006/2007 tour. In any case, since the story of "Rise Of The Virals" takes placeīetween the first "Tron" film and the upcoming "Tron 2: Legacy", I can't think of a better title for this material other than "Tron 1.5".Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score. Provided two songs to the original "Tron", and their song "Separate Ways" will reportedly be on the "Legacy" soundtrack as well. I've decided to release the preliminary version of the soundtrack which includes a special remix of Journey's "Any Way You Want It" produced specifically for "Rise Of The Virals". Perhaps that is why we've seen sites like Flynn Lives creep up in anticipation of the To me that "Tron: Legacy" takes place after "The Rise Of The Virals" without abandoning its first concept. I have been most excited to see the announcement of the third film, the new "TR2N" (Tron: Legacy), especially with the involvement of those who will be creating the new soundtrack. Funding for the project was eventually pulled. Soundtrack, it seemed as if negotiations between Pixar and Disney had broken down. After the completion of the initial tracklist and first production draft of the My task was to compile great underground artists to create a new soundtrack for this darker world of Tron. Furthermore, the story included the death of Flynn and presented questions about the digital life of programs lasting beyond the mortality of their creators - the users. Universe to a networked system (thanks to the Internet), but also created a darker world - full of programs abandoned as buggy systems (or "mutants") and abused by corrupt users as viral "Rise Of The Virals" was a fantastic, but much darker storyline from the original - different from the "Into The Machine" pitch made to Disney by another party. As I understand it, the film was kept in great confidence with the producers as Pixar was still in negotiations with Disney about the responsibilities of the production A draft of the story had already been written and early filming had begun (as reported by In late 1998, I was commissioned to compile and produce the soundtrack for a sequel to the film "Tron".

1/8/2024 0 Comments Html optimizer for mobileMobile loyalty campaigns are the most popular mobile marketing activity, while SMS promotions slightly lower in order of importance (but are still critical, nonetheless). Two of the five key areas where marketers planned to invest money were location-based mobile tracking and mobile applications. Salesforce's State of Marketing report found that nearly half of marketers used some kind of mobile marketing (SMS, push notifications, mobile apps, etc.) compared with just 23% the previous year. So what are the key optimization strategies that have proven successful and how have brands capitalized on them? Mobile Optimization Strategies Two of the major reasons for this come down to the fact that some marketers’ mobile campaigns were too convoluted, therefore, driving customers away, as well as a tendency to fit all existing website content onto a smaller screen, rather than optimizing it to work with mobile devices. When interviewed and asked to rate their company's mobile efforts from one (poor) to seven (excellent), many subjects confirmed only customer engagement scored above the halfway mark, whereas delivering a brand message, customer acquisition, customer retention, sales and profits all fell below average. For marketing departments keen to tap into the smartphone market, a CMO survey found that spending on mobile marketing was set to increase 160% over the next three years.ĭespite the growing popularity of mobile, the survey discovered that mobile campaigns have enjoyed limited success. Many campaigns have fallen to the wayside by overlooking the customer in terms of engagement and method. The Perils of Poor Mobile Optimizationīefore we go into the ways to optimize, let's explore the results of a poor mobile strategy.Ī key thing to bear in mind when devising and optimizing one is to remember your audience. With mobile proving so popular amongst consumers, marketing teams need to know how to engage and influence effectively in the space and integrate a mobile-first strategy into their marketing efforts. millennials check their smartphones at least 10 times per hour, and a quarter admit to doing so every 15 minutes - and are targeting consumers through an optimized website and mobile-centric campaigns. digital ad spending - a clear indication of mobile's dominance in the ad space.Īs mobile continues to increase its popularity amongst marketers and customers alike, global brands have been quick to take advantage of today's increased level of smartphone screen time - 20% of U.S. By 2019, mobile advertising is expected to represent 72% of all U.S. I'd recommend the quest given by a nervous peasant in the Weeping Town inn, sending you to deal with a Wight. Some of the quests are nicely written too, making up for the game's limitations when it comes to scripted set-pieces. Brynden Storm's rambling makes sense, being a loquacious Maester with poor bedside manner for a healer. That's not to say it's all worth skipping. Characters feel like they say with a paragraph what could be surmised in a single sentence, but fortunately your quest journal will point you the right way even if you click through it all. Between the lore text you'll wade through while exploring, and the first handful of quest NPCs you'll meet, expect to read a lot. If you like your lore dense, then A Clash Of Kings is the mod for you, 'cos it feels like someone's creative writing sketchbook given life. Eighteen strength is a good number to access most worthwhile gear, while ten intelligence will allow you to read books for additional bonuses, and charisma is just where you should dump every free point after that because it'll let you lead more people. Quite how a chain coif requires significantly above-average strength I will never know, but you should roll with it. It's easy to start out with a character inventory full of weapons and armour you're just not beefy enough to wear. Unless you plan on fighting from the back row all the time, you'll want to pour some stat points into strength early. You can ding a few levels practically for free. Approaching them will get you some sentences of lore, plus a fistful of experience points. Once you've picked up a few followers (or at least Brynden Storm at the starting tavern, who is a skilled surgeon), bumble around like a confused tourist and look for vaguely interesting structures - destroyed buildings, statues, odd hills, caves and whatnot. One of the most curious features of A Clash Of Kings is its historical sites, usually denoted with white names on the map. All you've got is word that there's war coming, and your character has resolved to stick around and try to turn a profit from it. Similar to the main game, it begins with a quick test that you can defend yourself in a fight against a single robber, before placing you firmly on the fringes of Game Of Thrones lore, and just off the Dornish border. Of these two mods, A Clash Of Kings feels slightly more accessible for Mount & Blade newcomers, although that doesn't make it easy. Official Wiki: Here Gaming The Throne 101: Not getting stabbed In the Lannister corner, we have: A Clash Of Kings by "Cozur"ĭownloads: Steam and Mod DB, 2.8gb once unpacked. It should sit comfortably alongside "Native" which is the default game campaign. Alternatively (and applicable to any other release of the game), you can download the mod via Mod DB and unpack it to your Mount & Blade: Warband/Modules folder. If you've got the base game on Steam, you merely need to subscribe to the Steam Workshop version and let it automatically download, then pick it from the Mount & Blade: Warband launcher screen. Installation of either of these mods is a walk in the park. Both of them could be considered advanced mods, adding more management systems to Mount & Blade's already-exacting simulation, so as such, you should probably clock a few hours with the base game before jumping in, but I won't stop you if you're desperate to get your Targary'on. Large productions in their first iterations, they've been updating for years with new features, quests and details. The two mods we're examining here, A Clash Of Kings and A World Of Ice & Fire, - are both enormous labours of love. But to celebrate our first week of TV without Kit Harrington looking like he's on the verge of crying, it's off to Westeros we go! There are dozens of notable total conversion mods for the game, letting you replace its pseudo-medieval world with everything from gritty historical simulations to Star Wars. Stick Em' With The Pointy Endĭespite being nearly a decade old, Mount & Blade: Warband remains popular, in part due to its very active mod scene.
