Review of Web based StickAM

Posted at 8:37 AM, Nov. 23, 2005

This review is for a product known as StickAM.  I recently discovered this piece of software while surfing Newsjungle's Newest Entries.  Although this product still seems to be in its late Beta Stage it does allow a user to store multiple pictures on it and more.  I'd take a look at this thread off of Newsjungle.com.  http://www.blog.newsjungle.com/?u=bfallmann.  The programmer has added a live multi-user video chat, some web hosting for pictures, and a lot more.  There are a ton of features.  I've taken some of Stickam's Promotional Content off of their website at stickam.com

 

Stickam™ allows you to easily place streaming video and live video chat on your personal web pages, ebay or yahoo auctions, company web sites and blogs. 
With Stickam™, you can instantly play your videos online using just your web browser, a web cam and microphone (optional).

Your video can be viewed by virtually anyone with no software to install and will play on any operating system including Linux, Windows and Mac.
Adding video, sound, and live chat to your web site can be very useful for many occasions. When your customers can see a 3-dimensional product demo, it can inspire more trust than just static pictures. When you can see and talk to other people virtually anywhere in the world, why use a regular telephone?
Stickam™ is an easy free service for everyone. Sign up today to get your Stickam™!
Easy and useful!
Play back your recorded video and show it to everybody.
Talk to people who visit your blog.
See and talk to your family and friends.
Demonstrate your product and answer your customer's questions online.
Don't spend so much money on long distance telephone calls, use Stickam™!

Our review of this product found a few minor bugs, but the Pro's of this heavily outway the cons.  When this product is ready to go we will start implementing it so users can give it a try.  We love the video gaming capabilities fo this product and believe this products full potential has not even been realized yet.  Hopefully they can keep up the good work and release a succesful product. 

 

Our 1 minor Recommendation for stickam is to be a custume csm file and allow user to downlaod directly to an active desktop system so friends can chat back and forth.  Additionaly fixing the chat section of the program to allow for wider screen viewing should alos be looked into,  All in all this Product is one fo the best implementations I've seen recfently.  Even in its beta TEST stage it is a 9/10.

EVE Online: Red Moon Rising

 

EVE ONLINE: RED MOON RISING CCP Announces Major Upgrade to EVE Online

REYKJAVIK, ICELAND – November 18st, 2005 – CCP Games, an independent developer and publisher of massively multiplayer online games, today announced the public release of "EVE Online®: Red Moon Rising”, a new expansion to its highly successful and fast-growing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) “EVE Online®: Exodus”. Red Moon Rising is scheduled for release this December, and will be provided to subscribers free of charge.

“Red Moon Rising is the last of the EXODUS chapters and is the precursor of the Kali expansion," said Magnus Bergsson, CMO of CCP Games. “Players will see new ships and features in Red Moon Rising created explicitly to augment warfare, so those who crave the adrenaline rush of action-packed PVP will really enjoy this release!”

With nearly 80,000 active subscribers and over 17,000 simultaneous users on one server, “EVE Online” is the largest independently developed and published MMORPG on the market.

“The introduction of these new components is analogous to adding rooks, knights, and the mighty queen to a galactic chessboard,” said Nathan Richardsson, Lead Producer for EVE Online. “Fighters, carriers, and titans are going to take combat to a scale that the MMPORG genre has never seen before. In addition, the sheer economics required just to produce these leviathans will create great opportunities for industrious-minded gamers to take advantage of.”

EVE Online®: Red Moon Rising is the march towards an epic clash between the empires as the tentative peace presiding over the galaxy continues to slip away. Nations begin to conspire against one another, secretly preparing for the inevitable conflict that threatens to redefine the borderlines of EVE forever.

Some of the key features of this upgrade are:

  • Titans: The largest, most fearsome space faring battle vessels ever created
  • Carriers: Front line capital ships providing fighter coverage and support for fleets
  • Bloodlines: The addition of Asian bloodlines available to each of the races
  • COSMOS Constellation Expansion: Addition of constellation missions to Gallente and Amarr territories
  • Fighters: The main offensive and defensive weapon of the Carrier
  • Starbases and sovereignty: Additions of roles to improve control access of services and improved calculations of player-determined Sovereignty
  • Next-Generation Manufacturing & Research Facilities: Mass-manufacturing enabling and remote industry management.
  • Performance Optimizations: Optimizations to core systems to provide even better performance.
  • Mining Industry Upgrade: New equipment, ships and skills for miners
  • Combat Enhancements: Varied improvements to combat, enhanced defenses and configuration overhauls
  • Jettisoned Canister Flagging: Removing the contents of a jettisoned canister that is not your own will flag you as a thief
  • Drone Enhancements: New drone capabilities and improved performance
  • An Eye for an Eye: You are allowed to revenge the unlawful destruction of your ship
  • Tech II: 23 new Tech II ships, including destroyers, battlecruisers and mining barges
  • New Corporate Logos: Corporations have more options to create their own identity
  • NPC Changes: New NPC's featuring elite ships with advanced capabilities such as cap draining
  • UI Improvements: Need info from Hagen.
  • Full Unicode Client: The EVE client now supports any language in the universe

Gretzky NHL 2006 Review of NHL Hockey Game 06

Posted at 3:42 PM, Nov. 21, 2005

Gretzky NHL 2006 Graphics: 9.0
Sound : 9.0
Gameplay : 7.5
Multiplayer : 8.0
Overall : 8.0

Review by Bryan Sharp
Hockey videogames have been around for quite a while, and despite many minor improvements over the years, better graphics can only add so much to the same basic idea. However, every once and a while a game comes along that helps redefine a genre. Gretzky NHL 06 is one of those games.

Gretzky NHL 06 takes the underlying design behind hockey and expands it with some new elements. All the basic elements of hockey are intact, like skating, shooting, and checking, but a few new ones help spice up the action.

Gretzky NHL 06 makes high use of its ‘Team Chemistry’ system. This system works by rewarding players for actions in the game. For example, passing the puck to your teammates will increase team chemistry, and can lead to bonus offense or defense ability points. Other things like checking the opposing team and scoring goals can also raise your team chemistry and therefore your team’s offensive or defensive abilities.

Another thing that Gretzky does to improve the hockey format is add little things to the game. One of these little things is the ability to aim where your shot will impact on the net. By holding down the shoot button, a bull’s-eye will appear on the net, which can quickly be adjusted with the joystick before shooting the puck. This aim-based firing system adds a welcome strategic element to the game.

The player can also have control over things like strategy and line changes. By using the directional pad buttons, the player can quickly switch up a play on the fly. The player can select a play and force the defensemen up into attack positions, or tell the center and the wings where to skate. This helps get the player involved in the overall team gameplay, and not just on the individual level of shooting the puck.
The manual control over line changing also adds a strategic element. The player can decide when the best time for a line change is. This can be stressful, but if managed right it can also be to the player’s advantage. Since the players tire in Gretzky NHL 06, a well placed line change can get fresh legs on the ice at just the right moment and help turn the tide in the player’s favor.

Gretzky NHL 06 also includes custom game modes that help keep the action interesting. One mode, called 99 Time, is based around gathering up enough points to get the Great One, Wayne Gretzky himself on to the ice for 99 seconds of play for your team. Points are gathered through teamwork, scoring goals, and big hits against the other team. Points can also be deducted if the other team scores a goal or really slams one of your guys into the boards. When one team reaches 99 points, pushing the L1 and R2 buttons simultaneously sends Gretzky charging onto the ice wearing your team’s uniform. For 99 seconds he’ll play on your side and boost the power of your team. A nice part of this mode is that the announcers also get into the action. Instead of disregarding 99 mode, the announcers talk about Gretzky and about how the teams are doing as far as point gathering. This helped realize the mode and make it just as exciting to play as a real match.

The multiplayer options in Gretzky aren’t too shabby. The game ships with the ability for two players to play against each other or on the same team against the computer. On top of this, the game can go online and the player can compete with other players around the world. This adds a whole new element of multiplayer play and is nice if the single player starts to get boring.

The graphics in Gretzky NHL 06 are well done, and more importantly, they don’t slow down the game. The characters are large enough to see and all other markers in the game are clearly displayed. The camera is also a treat. It keeps up with interesting angles but it never chooses something interesting over something functional.

Another feature that players may appreciate is the immense statistics system built in to the game. It seems like everything that can be tracked, is, and can be brought up with ease. This is great for the player who wants to know everything about the game that was just played or the overall performance of her team.

Gretzky NHL 06 is a fun hockey game. It’s also a smart one, with unique features that keep the game interesting and easy to play. Also, 99 time mode isn’t just a quick mode thrown into the game. It was well thought out, and makes for a nice change of pace from normal play. Overall, Gretzky NHL 06 is worth the buy for the hockey game fanatic and definitely worth the rent for anyone looking for a good time.
