Infinity Blade II

By Chair Entertainment Group, LLC

The first installment of Infinity Blade arrived great excitement preceded by being the first title in the App Store using the Unreal Engine, which showed a level graph light years ahead of the rest of the list of IOS devices, especially iPad. The promises were fulfilled, for his technical level was overwhelming, although some of the public was disappointed because the gameplay was somewhat limited by being a title almost on rails, which left little room for exploration and merely get us fully into sword and sorcery battles against creatures of all kinds, in a fairly repetitive. Still, we can not deny the quality and production values ​​of this new franchise is set in a world of medieval fantasy action.

With the advent of the iPhone 2, Infinity Blade received an update that improved his already brilliant technical section and added more dungeons, options and an interesting multiplayer mode. After twelve months, the critical and commercial expectations for this sequel has been enormous, since it was announced that he would use to maximize the benefits of the new iPhone 4S. Promises have been re-enforced and can say it has set a new roof graphics on mobile devices, without a doubt. But the news does not end here, since the action of the first game focused on participating in intense fighting with swords, the developers chose to provide an accessible battle system, but for many too simple. In this sequel, the guys from Chair Entertainment wanted to provide more moves, weapons and spells, a success.

Of course, those who expect to find an open world to explore at will may feel somewhat disappointed, as Infinity Blade II is fully continuity with its first part, again, this is a completely predefined title, where the only thing we will take part in their struggles, now much more rewarding and varied, with more options and a more cinematic, if possible. Initial reports of the title overwhelmed us a glimmer of hope by promising more freedom, in fact, to which was referred its developers as many paths to choose and the ability to move the camera at will to give a small concession to the search for secrets.

The centerlines of Infinity Blade is its intense fighting, leveling our character and improvements of our arms-well, who loved his first adventure, can be satisfied with this sequel, as the options and gameplay have multiplied and improved. The argument is directly above the title, after emerging victorious from the previous cross, the young Siris must face each and every one of the challenges that separate it from the Sword of Infinity. The script is quite usual, but we will immerse ourselves completely in the complex narrative of the title, which can sometimes be confusing. But more impressive are those battles, we see the most exciting new features.

Following the foundation of the first game, where the defense was the key element in battles in order to achieve unbalance the opponent-in Infinity Blade II has boosted the combined motions, we'll link to know to survive the fierce fighting. Also, we know dispense these movements, since this time will be finite and we sold to our opponents if exhausted. Also been improved movement to repel the attacks of our enemies with your weapon, in general, the detection of the movements of our finger on the screen gains a lot. Although the big news of the title are the new kinds of weapons, divided into three categories: double grip, two hands and weapon and shield.

Real Racing 2 HD

By Firemint Pty Ltd

The smell of burning rubber on the tarmac, the feel of estamparte in the next curve that has gone wrong and be aware that you will lose the race, have the best car you can afford to be progressing and gaining a name in the motor world ... dreams are fulfilled perfectly thanks to 'Gran Turismo 5' or 'Forza Motorsport'.

That's all very well but is there something similar to IOS devices? And we can not always devote the time necessary for the big games and have a driving need Alternatively, if you have the right platform, you can always come in handy. Today I want to talk about 'Real Racing 2 HD', one of the last games I bought for iPad and that has totally amazed me. No doubt we are at the "Gran Turismo" or "Forza Motorsport" the gadget from Apple. Welcome to your analysis.

Understand me when I compare those two games and put yourself in position. It is incomparable, I know, but so are the platforms and I mean just the idea of ​​play. This idea rests on three pillars. A pointer graphic appearance on the platform, the ability to drive and improve real car models and going to improve, race after race, our achievements and our reputation as a driver to be someone in the racing world.

Three pillars to come together in this 'Real Racing 2 HD' and also do so in a very elegant way.

Talk about 'Real Racing 2 HD' is talk of a AAA iPad. So clear. The game is flawless in production. From the menus, videos, the feeling exuded by the GUI, graphics, lighting, modeling cars ... darling, this is not a product made to make money fast the user or a product to take advantage of the pull of licenses , no.

We are facing the best driving game for iPhone and there are broken horns to make it happen.

In these cases the game will hit a few small hitches, nothing to worry about, and pause. Usually nothing happens, but if we take forward in the turn and while we take the slipstream of an opponent may end up losing control and hitting us the ostia father. Unfortunately there is not much we can do about it, however keep in mind that they are sometimes told.

The modeling of the car is perfect, colorful and scenarios full of detail, accurately modeled interiors taking into account the actual design, the behavior of cars in the curves, the reflexes in the body ... we are talking about a game for a tablet so compared with desktop console titles is meaningless but the overall quality is very high and bright screen helps iPad seem even better.

But one thing that stands out from the rest and if you have the fortune to try it on a iPad 2 you will see. We compete in a race of 16 cars at once and all are displayed when running with iPad 2, than with the original iPad we would "only" 8. All in great detail and losing parts shocks (front, rear and side mirrors, for example).

At this point, and after reviewing the great strengths you might wonder at the visual, and how far this fast? And I answer that much, that the frame rate is stable and that the game is running smoothly most of the time. Of course, we IOS device and depends on how you may have configured could have applications in the background and alert to receive an email or a message from a messaging client.

Chaos Rings II

By SQUARE ENIX

Square Enix's saga reaches full maturity with this long awaited sequel, while Omega Chaos Rings was conceived as a prequel to the first title, Chaos Rings II presents a new story, a spectacular technical section, evolved combat system, deeper characters and a narrative clearly improved. Comes the king of the J-RPG on the App Store.

The sequels are part of the business model of Square Enix from the beginning-before and after its merger with franchises business-rather than consecrated as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts, and other classic masterpieces in the genre of J- RPG. Whether more or less success, the various renditions of their most successful franchises are continuing and it seems that this business model will change in the near future. In collaboration with Media Vision launched the market in 2010 Chaos Rings, a J-RPG exclusive to IOS devices only achieved remarkable critical and commercial success. How could it be otherwise, the following year came the prequel Omega, which proved too much continuity, falling only slightly below the original.

A new storyline

With the idea of ​​overcoming the first two titles comes a sequel with enough new features to surprise fans of this young and interesting franchise IOS. Keeping the style of Final Fantasy, Chaos Rings takes many elements of their fetish saga, though presents us with a strong personality, resulting in a different formula and highly recommended for fans of the genre. In this case, the title is surprising for its careful technical section and a revised gameplay for the occasion, avoiding some rather bizarre decisions of the previous Chaos Rings and resulting in a J-RPG rounder in all its aspects.

It is important to clarify that despite maintaining the name and add a II, it is not a direct sequel, the title does not follow the story of the first Chaos Rings, so those who expect to continue the adventure of the first title will be disappointed. This time the adventure does not focus on actors as partners in previous releases, although it will continue to struggle with two characters, the plot centers in Darwin, a young mercenary with a dark past to be undertaken by a terrible job, in a devastated world, time has stopped by divine forces and the only solution lies with the killing of five innocent souls. His mission is complicated when Darwin realizes that one of his victims is Marie, his childhood friend.

A world without life

From here, both Darwin and his companions must break through this barren world, trying to find the solution to suffering. During our adventure we can control different characters, which add dynamism to its gameplay. We have at our disposal a "home" where our heroes can rest, recover magical strength, investigate or buy items. From here we descend to the underworld to move forward, the scenarios they look unbeatable, represented a very attractive style of painting that reminds us that the world is completely stopped. To this we must add a unique character models, very well detailed and with a well-defined animations.

Using the touch screen is excellent IOS devices, allowing our players move through the stages in a simple and intuitive. They must add the ease with which we can use the abilities of each character, Marie, for example, can move floating platforms to build bridges that allow us to move forward. Li Hua, by contrast, can tear down walls thanks to its great strength, while Araki is capable of breaking barriers with his sword with ease. And all with the swipe of your finger across the screen. We can always go back to previous areas to further explore and increase our experience points or find objects that have left behind.

FIFA 12 for iPad and iPhone

Love Football. Play Football

Electronic Arts has proven to be the best move when the beautiful game to the desktop of the current generation. The two big bets per year compete each year at number one ranking, and, although Konami are debugging their game very hard, the developer before us has developed a convincing game system from the first minute and that, of course, from the first sports games. And as usual in this type of genre, conversions and ports are on the agenda. No platform can lose their annual football event, so users of IOS are in luck, because FIFA Soccer 12 falls squarely in the AppStore to get a deserved goal for the squad.

Being a work that is updated every year, the changes are rather minimal, but sufficient to give complexity to the work and improve the gaming experience for the user experience. The multinational has developer a basic game with many nuances that allow us to make watermarks and without a strong offensive classic controller in our hands. The truth is that the control, at first, may seem rather embarrassing and chaotic, especially if we have been playing for years to the titles of the desktop, but if we devote a minimum of time without despair, discover the full potential Electronic Arts has prepared for this occasion. But one thing.

FIFA Soccer 12 launches one of the most desirable game modes for the public: Manager Mode. Unlike the previous version of the title, this time not only have to play matches in the league and cups for, but also have to be aware of the signings, contract extensions, find new promise by scouts, and so on. Manager Mode becomes, therefore, in the way star of this edition of FIFA, and increases the likelihood of diversion of the work for those who want to take a team-league included in the work-and bring it to the higher.

However, this type of game is rather slow, and not all fans want to take the reins of a club, but what they want is to get better the more goals. For this there are the usual game modes which will dispute the major leagues without taking into account every detail that occurs within the team. We will take the role of the players and managers will we get the ball to the opposite field. Finally, it also includes a mode challenges, which, along with trophies and achievements that we should get to complete the game one hundred percent, thereby increasing the longevity of the work.

Ice Age Village for IPhone

Ice Age Village is a peculiar case. It is very clearly an advergame for the upcoming Ice Age movie, yet it certainly doesn’t lack the quality most advergames do. Those who turn their nose up just because of the game’s intentions are missing out, for sure.

Keeping with the continuity of the feature films, we find out that Earth is starting to melt and transition out of the ice age, and with it Pangaea is starting to break apart (hence the name of the new film Continental Drift) This predicament tasks you in finding new homes for the series’ characters and other creatures within the Ice Agecanon.

If you’ve ever played any modern social games where you were forced to build buildings, Ice Age Village follows that routine with a bit of a deviation. Let’s face it, variety is what can make or break a social game, and this one does a decent job in that respect. For example, you can breed any of the types of animals in the game, including wooly mammoths, sabre-tooth tigers, prehistoric birds, and more.

If breeding animals makes the game sound like Dream Zoo, you’re assumption would be correct. Although here, progress moves much quicker, so you won’t spend so much time just waiting for the next activity to complete. The families you create here make a lot more money for you than in Dream Zoo, which obviously makes things more fun.

Besides being better at rewarding your breeding, Ice Age Village is also a bit better at giving you activities to do that can earn you additional bonuses for participating. You can rub on eggs to earn additional money, for instance. Another mini-game plays like Fruit Ninja, featuring Scrat swiping at jumping piranhas.

WiFinder

This app is very straightforward. It finds wireless networks in your immediate area. All you have to do is launch the app and it immediately begins scanning. It then comes up with a list. Open networks are preceded by a green check mark and locked networks have a red do not enter type sign. (My search came up with a list of 12, though only two of them were unlocked.)Touch the name of a network to get more details about it, including MAC address, channel, strength, authentication and whether it is hidden. If you have the permissions, you can connect to the network by touching the conveniently named connect button.

If you’re traveling with your iPhone, you can use the auto scan button at the bottom of your screen to set your phone to continuously look for networks automatically. You can set the intervals for rescanning to any 

number of seconds and request notification whenever the app finds a new network to add to the list. When this setting’s turned on, your phone will vibrate each time one pops up.

It’s a helpful tool for when you’re out and about and need to find a WiFi connection. That will help you get access to local networking sources and often increases Web page loading speed. It can also be useful if you’re looking to connect your laptop or other mobile tools.

The interface is simple and clean. It’s very easy to use the app and it’s a total cinch to learn. Navigating the maze of wireless networks you find might be another story.

The launch of the latest iPhone, with higher resolution screen and a camera better than previous versions of the hugely popular tablet, comes weeks after Apple paid $ 60 million to a company in Shenzhen for a claim of ownership rights over the iPad name.

The Cupertino company adopted an online booking system that allowed them to control the flow of people in their stores and to avoid repetition of the chaotic launch of the iPhone 4S in January, when a store in Beijing was bombarded with eggs by rioters. "My friend came last year and was lining up a whole day. So I think the process is much more convenient now," said Wang Yue, 26, outside of the tent of Lujiazui.

Apple has two stores in Beijing, three in Shanghai, one in Hong Kong and a network of authorized dealers. Government officials in China said the company aims to open two more stores in major cities of Chengdu and Shenzhen. Demand for Apple products is so high that many are purchased through unauthorized sellers who sell contraband devices or online stores with parallel imports.

Discover the first spiral galaxy formed in the early universe.

According to the experts said, the galaxy also has a large black hole at its center, which could have an important role in its formation.

Canadian scientists have discovered the first spiral galaxy dating from the early universe formed billions of years before the rest of galaxies of this type, said today the scientific journal "Nature".


Born 11,000 million years ago and named BX442, this galaxy is significantly higher compared to other formed at the same time, and was identified by a team of astrophysicists at the University of Toronto (Canada) while three hundred very distant galaxies photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.


According to Efe said David Law, author of the study, the images clearly appreciate allow rotational movement and its light arms, in which new stars form.


"The fact that this galaxy there is amazing. What we know so far made us think that such large spiral galaxies simply could not exist in an ancient epoch in the history of the universe," said Law.


He also assured that they have sufficient evidence to suggest that in the center of the galaxy would be a black hole of large dimensions, which have played an important role in shaping it.


The early universe, makes about 11,000 million years, "was the time when most likely formed the stars we see today. Galaxies colliding with each other much more frequently," described Law.


In addition, stars and black holes formed much more quickly than at present, said Alice Shapley, co-authored the study.


"The universe was then a very different place. The present universe is boring compared to him," said Shapley.


The discovery of astrophysical BX442 surprised because usually the older galaxies seem "strange, lumpy and irregular."


"As we go back in time toward the Big Bang, the most ancient galaxies appear to train accidents. Our first thought was why this is different and so beautiful?" Said Shapley.


The finding of this galaxy suggests to Law and his colleagues that the coils have been around longer than previously thought.


This Canadian team now expects BX442 detailed study provide new insights into how galaxies form spiral, among which is the Milky Way.


"We would like to take pictures of this galaxy at other wavelengths, for the type of stars that exist in every part of it," said Shapley.

ESO obtained the most detailed image of a galaxy

Telescopes in Chile, Hawaii and Arizona showed the image of a black hole with a definition two million times greater than the human eye.

The image observed by astronomers with the highest definition ever achieved, was made possible by the connection of three different telescopes located in Chile, Hawaii and Arizona.

Connecting the telescope "APEX" (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment) located in our country, "Array Submiliter" located in Hawaii, and the "Submiliter Telescope" located in Arizona, USA, astronomers were able to obtain precise image of the quasar 3C 279, which contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of about a billion times the Sun

The connection of telescopes was performed through the technique known as "broad-based interferometry" (VLBI, for its acronym in English), which allows multiple telescopes to merge and act as one, delivering images at extremely high resolutions and with great precision to observe the space and its phenomena.

The observations of space with this level of resolution represents a new achievement in order to understand how black holes. The ESO plans in the future connecting even more telescopes to create the so-called "Event Horizon Telescope" (Event Horizon Telescope), with which one could see the shadow of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, as well as the shade of black holes in nearby galaxies.

The shadow, a dark region that contrasts with the lighter background, occurs because the light is bent upon entering the black hole. Getting them in detail would be the first evidence that would prove the existence of an event horizon, a boundary where even light can escape.
