Wanted: Weapons of Fate

If your a gamer, then you will want to know about this awesome game based on the Box office movie "Wanted"... I also consider my self as a gamer cause I play hell of a lot PC games.. My favorites are "Crysis, Far cry, Call of duty 4, Cod 5" and so on... "Wanted: weapons of fate" will be in my gaming list very soon.. I have just got some info on this game and picked out some of the best screenshots and gameplay videos for you to get a detailed view of what this game looks like.

Based on Universal Pictures' action-thriller Wanted, this game promises to deliver the same fantastic visual style, in-your-face attitude and edge-of-your-seat action as the blockbuster motion picture. The game continues the story of hero Wesley Gibson, picking up the action where the film leaves off and creating an entirely new chapter exploring both Wesley’s journey to becoming an unmatched überassassin and the epic fiction of "The Fraternity."

Featuring intense third-person action, the Wanted video game will take combat to the next level with iconic moves -- such as "Curving Bullets" and "Assassin Time" -- drawn directly from the film, as well as an innovative, multi-layered cover mechanic.
ESRB Rating: M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language
Genre: Action
Also Available On: PC, XBOX360, PS3

I hope you enjoyed this post as well as I did... If you have any comments or thoughts about this cool game, please be sure to share it with us by posting your comments.

Windows 7 Features !!

noreply@blogger.com (Cyberaz123) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 13:13:00 -0700

Lets see whats new in Windows 7 now. I will explain to you about the upcoming OS "windows 7" features in brief with screenshots and videos so that you will get a clear view of what it is about.

Windows 7 Features

Improved Taskbar & Full-Screen Previews
The taskbar at the bottom of your screen is what you use to switch between the applications you've got open. In Windows 7 you can set the order in which the icons appear and they'll stay put. They're easier to see, too. Click once on the new large icons or bigger preview thumbnails and you're ready to go. You can even see a full screen preview before switching to the window.

Have More Control Over Wi-Fi Networks
One of the most useful Windows 7 features for roaming laptop users is its one-click Wi-Fi network choice. While there isn't an exact match for that for XP and Vista, NetSetMan offers a more powerful way to manage multiple network profiles...

Aero Snap
One of the most useful Windows 7 features (especially for widescreen monitor owners) is its ability to half-size and dock a window to the left or right of the screen, as shown in this video:

Aero Shake
The Aero Shake feature in Windows 7 clears away all the background windows when you "shake" the active window you're working with. Check out a demonstration of how that works on this video:

Jump List
Jump menu list will appear in the Start Menu or when users click on one of the Taskbar application, provide several options on the user to perform various actions that supported the application. Figure below shows the jump list of Windows Media Player (WMP), which gives users the option to play the song, see the last songs played, and more.

Libraries
If you already know the concept of the library for songs such as the itunes, the concept of the library in Windows 7 also will not be foreign to you. This feature collects all the files on your PC to type in each library for easy management of the media. For example, all the images from all PC and the network will be collected in a photo library that can be accessed in one place like the image below:

New Paint
Windows Paint is a lot to remember to get big upgrade, now appear with the Ribbon UI of Office 2007 that has now become standard in many Microsoft applications. Although many consider as an alternative replacement Paint.net Paint better.

Touch Screen
With Windows 7 we have enriched the Windows experience with touch, making touch a first-class way to interact with your PC alongside the mouse and keyboard," the Windows Touch team wrote. "We focused on common activities and refined them thoughtfully with touch in mind. You will have the freedom of direct interaction, like being able to reach out and slowly scroll a web page then flick quickly to move through it. With new touch optimized applications from creative software developers you will be able to immerse yourself as you explore you photos, browse the globe, or go after bad guys in your favorite games.

The above features are the main features of "Windows 7" and will be included in the official release. I hope this post helped you to know whats new in "Windows 7"... Anyways I will update on this topic again if there's any new updates for you to know.
