Apple finally came out with its latest high tech , innovative little pad to surprise its customers with a brand new sizzling device. Ready to be bought, owned and used, but before we jump to the part of using, let us look at a few Pro’s n Con’s it packed along when it came in the market.

Pros:
An impressively built tablet computer, featuring a clean industrial design coming from Apple’s MacBook Pro computers. Internal components derived mostly from its iPod touch and iPhone pocket devices, and stable, multi-touch software.

Runs over 150,000 applications, thousands of which have been optimized for this device. It offers iPod-equivalent sonic performance, better than iPod- and iPhone-quality visual performance, and 10+ hour battery life unmatched by any current-generation Apple products, or most competitors.

Superb for book and periodical reading, strong for web and video viewing, more capable of content creation than iPods and iPhone. Supports 720p HD video playback.

Cons:
Cannot serve as a standalone computer; in addition to iTunes dependence, horsepower is presently shortchanged by limited, iPhone-class multitasking that forces all third-party applications to occupy and waste entire screen; lack of camera similarly limits value for video communications.

Screen dimensions are sub-optimal for movies, including HD content. Confusing battery charging requirements and slow iTunes synchronization. Initial iPad optimized applications, as well as Apple’s strategy for performing and selling color digital publications on the device, need additional work.

In addition to anti-glare, anti-fingerprint screen film, most users will need new in-car, docking, or speaker accessories.

Would this really suffice what the customers desire for?  Still a gadget worth giving a try.

This highly action packed game brings more action with fireworks and exciting stunts.If you like games based on reality, then consider it an arcade fun fantasy game with stunts far away from reality but interesting enough for you to try it.

Just Cause is all about destroying anything that comes in your way during your mission.The huge fascinating world of Just Cause 2 allows you full freedom to reach any small corner of the island.

So there is much to explore with countless activities. The game is awfully lengthy and if you think that you can beat it 100% in couple of days then you should practically forget it or you might be nuts to do that.Your objective is simple, you need to retrieve a person named “Sheldon” which acted as your “boss” in the original game.

This simple task is made hell difficult by an apposing dictator on the island. You can approach missions on the map in different ways leading towards your final objective. As I mentioned earlier,the game is full of action and several new weapons and vehicles with improved controls have been introduced.

As the  game progresses,enemies difficulty level keeps on increasing which makes things tougher in the later stages of the game.To counter these difficult enemies, game has got an impressive upgrade system.You can upgrade your weapons with the points earned during the gameplay using black market.

The most prominent feature in the game is Rico’s grappling hook and parachute which allows you to perform variety of stunts.You can also chase enemies and land on any vehicle including the ones belonging to enemies.

If we see the dark side of the picture,we can see some weaknesses in the game.There are some sound glitches in cut scenes and game’s checkpoint saving system isn’t much impressive. If you die when you are on a mission,you will be re spawned right from the beginning which sometimes can get annoying.

Story might not be the strongest point of the game but the gameplay  has got several features to overcome the average story.You will be riding helicopters,crashing cars, annihilating various enemy locations and much more.To me Just Cause 2 is a full of fun open world action blast which you can’t afford to miss.

The game begins with your arrival at Pandora but it does not have the same storyline as the movie.You, acting as a guy named Ryder start things up with simple missions and quests.

Your avatar is formed at the initial stages of the game. Almost after an hour of game play, you are given a choice to play between two roles either as a human representing RDA or as an Alien fighting for Na’vi betraying humans.

Both the campaigns can take your 12-15 hours on a rough estimate.Two separate campaigns might look cool but believe me they are not.
Sequence of event in both the campaigns isn’t that appealing either.Weapon aiming is pathetic with average melee attacks.Close range combat isn’t that effective too, with camera movement being below average.

Sound and dialogue delivery is also below average which makes this game lacking the basic essentials for an action video game.

So here I ask where is all the hard work developers have done? well they certainly worked hard to put the eye candies out in place while designing Pandora. It is no doubt detailed and presents a charming look but not sufficient enough for me to neglect the pathetic gameplay.

Multiplayer of the game also does not contain any exciting unique features.
Same old death match and capture the flag modes are included with players divided into Na’ve and RDA teams.If you didn’t like the gameplay of single player then you are gonna hate its multiplayer too.
Just a little more work on the gameplay might have done wonders for them. So James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game is an average action shooter with some eye catching graphics matching the movie standards but lacking the essentials of a good action video game.

Well graphics look really good and the fact that new engine has made the cooperative gameplay must play experience, is the only reason you would want this game. But then again its something that Sam fanatics would surely want to try their hands on.

Anyway the game developers Croteam have really balanced and fine tuned this version for the vast array of followers. Still didn’t provide one essential feature that is dedicated server support, which they tend to compensate with an amazing co op gameplay setting in Serious Sam HD.

Well all the previous modes for Serious Sam won’t work on Serious Sam HD which is the downside to this.The developers haven’t really  added any gameplay mode other then what was already in the previous title.

That’s all for the micromini review of Serious Sam HD, now lets focus our attentions to how you can enjoy its awesome co operative LAN game mode.

You can complete your assigned tasks in multiple ways and complete the available missions on the map in any order.

Full marks for graphics and controls. Soboteur is far better when it comes to control and movements as compared to God Father II.Vehicle controls were more or less like Mafia. City design is also not that bad,blood effects during combat with Nazis are somewhat unique.

Although,the game has a lot to offer but still it looks as we are playing a game  like GTA IV and Mafia again, as it lacks innovative concepts. No doubt its a 18+ game but I wonder if only nudity is sufficient to attain a higher ranking among all other big games out there.

Overall,”The Saboteur” is a game better than Godfather II but fall short in quality against  games like Mafia and GTA. It was Pandemic’s last game as they won’t be producing  any other games now.I don’t think this game was  descent enough to be a deserving farewell to them but again,that’s only me.

Game begins with an infiltration in North Korea where Dick and his team try to investigate enemy territory for any suspicious activities.Unfortunately Dick’s teammates die just after the game begins and you (Dick) are left alone with no re enforcements.

At initial stages,you might feel that it’s a stealth based shooter but it isn’t.It’s up to you whether you want to kill enemy with your knife silently or shoot it from distance.I personally enjoy the stealth way of killing ” a Splinter Cell fan”.

But of course you can kill by knife only when there are few enemies around and you have sufficient patience to crouch behind them for a silent ruthless kill.But most of the time you will have to rely on your guns for killing.

You can’t be reckless because the difficulty level of enemies you face.You often need to find some cover when facing multiple opponents.Enemies keep on moving and if you can’t kill them quickly,they can break through your cover. So you can’t be safe for longer periods behind same cover.

Since the game is set in late 1980′s so no modern weapons are included.King of assault rifles, Ak-47 is in the game which also was my favorite weapon throughout the game.Replacing silenced pistol with any SMG is useful as sometimes your primary weapons run out of bullets and you can switch weapons quickly instead of a reload.

Graphics are not bad but you need to have a powerful machine to enjoy them at full scale.Sometime in the game you might feel that your gun is lagging and you cannot shift your aim quickly to the next enemy which can be the biggest draw back of this game.Movement of iron sight is also not as fast as it should be.

There is no jumping and no leaning.But you can blind fire your weapon while behind the cover making things a bit easier.Single player campaign length is medium and  fps fans can complete it in one sitting. Yeah One Sitting

“Rogue Warrior’s” multiplayer is by far more interesting if any of this game is. A 4 player co op mode, which makes things a bit enjoyable,there are more than 200 maps (with day and night features) and 10 different game modes to try on these maps.

But you need to have steam to enjoy it’s multiplayer features.Since there is no LAN option in the game so forget Hamachi and any other virtual adapter for the time being.

Overall Rogue Warrior can be an interesting FPS to play depending upon your taste.To me its an average shooting game with an average  shooting experience.
