Warcraft is a franchise of video games, novels and other media originally created by Blizzard Entertainment for the game Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.

The series is made up of four core games: Warcraft: Orcs & Humans; Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness; Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos; and World of Warcraft. The first three of these core games are in the real-time strategy genre, where opposing players command virtual armies in battle against each other or a computer-controlled enemy. The latter, and best selling title of the franchise, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Expansion sets were also released for multiple games in the series, each adding more content to each game as an effort to expand the product life span of each. Warcraft II and Warcraft III had one expansion each, namely Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. World of Warcraft has had multiple expansions, namely World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Pool Game:Tips And Tricks

Pool Games Tips & Tricks

Here you can find some useful tips and tricks that will help you become a better pool player. The tips and tricks listed here can help you succeed in executing long shots, hitting combination shots, avoiding miscues and deal with other challenges in 8-ball, 9-ball or in any other pool game of your choice.

Pool Tip No. 1

How to Succeed in Long Shots

Put your forward hand on the table in the most stable way as you can.

Mark the target point of the cue ball by putting the cue tip on the designated pocket in a way that it would go over the exact center of the ball you intend to pocket. Your target point, where the cue tip would stroke the cue ball, is the place where the outer edge of the ball and the cue stick meets.

Have your eyes fully focused on the cue ball.

When you shoot, move from the shoulder and try to keep your arm closer to the body and your elbow at a 90 degrees angle from your body.

Use the minimum force required to execute the shot.

Pool Tip No. 2

How to Hit Combination Shot

Combination shot is a shot in which you hit a numbered ball in order to pocket another object ball. Here are some tips and tricks to help you hit combination shots in the best way:

Hit combination shot only if you have no other options at the table.

Imagine the table as if the numbered ball is the cue stick, which is about to hit the cue ball.

Mark an imaginary spot of the object ball in your mind.

Pay attention to the cue ball instead of thinking about the pocket.

Strike as usual but bare in mind the picture of your object ball as a target ball.

Pool Tip No. 3

How to Avoid Miscues

Miscue is one of the biggest fears of pool players of all skill levels. A miscue can occur as a result of an intensive english, which causes the leathery part of the cue stick to hit the edge of the cue ball. In order to avoid miscue, the starting point of the shoot should be less than 21.5 mm from the center of the ball.

Pool Tip No. 4

How to Bounce a Ball off another Ball

Try to imagine your shot backwards: from the pocketing of the table to the decision of an object ball that will strike another ball.

Note that causing an object ball to hit another ball is different from causing the cue ball to strike an object ball.

Think about the predicted circumstances of the stroked ball after the stroke; it is often bounces back to the path of the object ball.

Verify that the cue ball won't scratch as a result of the strike.

Plan beforehand the way in which the cue ball will strike the object ball.

Perform a light stroke; if you miss, at least the ball would remain near the pocket.

Hope the above pool tips and tricks proves worth.

Enjoy the game......

Good Luck!

The Best Female Fighters In The History of Video Games

The Best Female Fighters In The History of Video Games
While women seem to have a rough time making in-roads into boxing and MMA, there is one field that skilled, beautiful (and deadly) women have never had a hard time getting recognition in.
Fighting games.
Be it arcade or video game consoles, hot women have had a place in video game development since the beginning.
And in the hearts of video game players.
So here are some of my favorite butt kicking beauties and the games they came from.

Angel (The King of Fighters)
The King of Fighters was developed by SNK Playmore and started out as an Arcade game back in 1994.
But Angel, the sexy, white-haired Mexican fighter that works for NESTS, first appeared in 2001 and 2002.
Angel uses a combination of Muay Thai and pro wrestling, specifically Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Haven't you noticed the Blue Monday Parade = The Rock Bottom and Survivor's Banquet = The People's Elbow?
But the similarities to The Rock end there.
Japanese video game illustrator and character designer Styleos designed her, and put a lot of his own "personal preferences" into her design.
They even hired Japanese seiyū (voice actor) Miina Tominaga to do her voice originally.

And did you know that all of Angel's attacks are named after songs by the Japanese musical group Soul Flower Union?

Helena (Dead or Alive)
Dead or Alive is a fighting video game produced by Tecmo and got its inspiration from Fatal Fury and Mortal Kombat.
Helena Douglas (the illegitimate daughter of Fame Douglas and his mistress Maria, a world class soprano opera singer) first showed up in Dead or Alive 2.
Despite her shadowy beginnings, she had become an opera singer like her mother and everything would have been fine until Christie tried to assassinate her.

According to the game, Helena's fighting style is Piguaquan, a style of wushu.

Christie (Dead or Alive)
And that brings us to Christie.
Christie shows up in Dead or Alive 3 as an assassin hired by Donovan to keep an eye on (and kill) Helena Douglas.

Christie's fighting style is She Quan, or Snake Fist, a style of Kung Fu.

Felicia (Darkstalkers)
Felicia is a character in the Darkstalkers series, created by Capcom.
She is a "catwoman" and when the game was originally being designed, she was supposed to be the sexy one and Morrigan was supposed to be cute.
But somehow things got reversed (c'mon, Morrigan is a VAMPIRE, she's supposed to be sexy).
Felicia has not only appeared in Darkstalkers, but other video games as well.

And she has appeared in the Darkstalkers comics, cartoons and animes.

I-No (Guilty Gear XX)
I-No first showed up in Arc System Works fighting game, Guilty Gear XX in 2002.
Separating her from the other fighters so far, I-No uses her guitar as a weapon. Both to bash opponents and to fire sonic waves.
She also wears a pointed witches hat (I know it's stereotypical, I don't want to insult my Pagan friends out there) that can fire projectiles.

And I-No gets the honor of being the primary antagonist and boss of Guilty Gear XX.

Chun-Li (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior)
Chun-Li made her debut in the original version of Capcom's Street Fighter II (1991) and has gone on to become one of the most popular women in the history of video games.
And like Felicia, she has shown up in other video games as well.
But unlike Felicia, Chun-Li has shown up twice in live action.
Once played by Ming Na (Street Fighter,1994) and in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) , played by Smallville's Kristin Kreuk.
I have seen her fighting style listed as Tai Chi and Wu-shu.

Although which style "Spinning Bird Kick"belongs to...I'm not sure.

Taki (Soulcalibur)
Taki has been with the franchise a long time, starting out as one of the eight original characters in Namco's arcade game Soul Edge (1996).
Then she made the transition to Soulcalibur.

She's a ninja and demon hunter so you get her sword wielding abilities plus magic attacks.

Ayane (Dead or Alive)
We're seeing a lot of Dead or Alive characters huh?
Ayane is the half-sister of Kasumi and Hayate in the Dead or Alive series.

And she's another female ninja (Kunoichi) so she uses Ninjutsu.

Kokoro (Dead or Alive)
Kokoro starts out as a 17 year-old geisha-in training, and by the way, is the daughter of Miyako, one of Fame Douglas' many mistresses (Helena is actually her half-sister).
Her fighting style is Ba Ji Quan, the same fighting style used by Akira Yuki in the classic Virtua Fighter video game.
And also Ba Ji Quan is the "sister style" of Piguaquan, the martial art used by Helena.

Appropriate.

Shiki (Samurai Shodown 64)
Shiki is from Samurai Shodown 64 or Samurai Spirits, a 3D fighting game produced by SNK.
Yuga the Destroyer trained Shiki in the art of twin sword fighting, so there you have her fighting style.
Besides Samurai Shodwon, Shiki also appears in SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, SNK Gals' Fighters, and (oddly enough) the dating sim Days of Memories: Oedo Love Scroll.

Well not that odd I guess, Days of Memories has used characters from King Of Fighters as well.

Kitana (Mortal Kombat)
Shao Kahn's daughter and personal assassin, Kitana first showed up in Mortal Kombat II, working with her twin sister Mileena (which made them the deadliest sister act in the business I guess).
But it's okay, she finds out later that Shao Kahn isn't her father.
And she finds out that Mileena isn't really her sister and she kills her.
See how easily relationship problems are resolved in video games?
The character of Kitana has not only been in the Mortal Kombat video games, but in both movies, the live-action TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest and the comic books.

Her fighting styles are Eagle Claw (one of the oldest and most complex of the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu systems) and Baguazhang (one of the major "internal"Chinese martial arts).

Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters)
Okay, Mai was basically designed to get young male gamers attention and lead to rabid video game addiction.
I mean moreso than the other ladies on this list.
The designers themselves worried during the video game development, if they had actually gone too far.

Mai is another female fighter that uses Ninjitsu, which seems to be very popular with female characters.

Sonya Blade (Mortal Kombat)
By popular demand, here is Lieutenant Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat series.
Out of the seven original characters introduced in Mortal Kombat, Sonya is the only one whose costume has changed considerably.
Sonya was partly inspired by female martial artist and actress Cynthia Rothrock, and was in both Mortal Kombat films.

Her fighting styles are Kenpo and Tae Kwon Do and she uses several variations of her "Kiss of Death" Fatality as a finisher in the various games.

Consoles And Video Games

The gaming fever is catching on all over the world. People don’t consider games to be just a source of entertainment these days, but it’s a much more serious business. And with international level gaming tournaments being organised on a large scale, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t! Of course researchers would say that video games dull your brain, but ask the gamers and they’ll tell you that these games improve your reflexes and hand-eye coordination!

The first ever video game, ‘Tennis for two’, was created in 1958 by William Higinbotham. Gaming has come a long way since then…let’s take a look at how this era of gaming began and has progressed through the years.

Metal Gear Solid IV

TV VIDEO GAMES

The first gaming console for home use was ‘Odyssey’ launched in 1972. Since then there have been many consoles manufactured by many companies, which you could just plug into your television set, sit back, and enjoy! The most popular consoles during the 90s were those made by Atari, Nintendo and Sega. A variety of games such as Mario, Contra, etc became popular.

GAME CONSOLES

After the classical TV video games became obsolete, there was an intense competition among the major manufacturers to release newer and more advanced gaming consoles. There’s a lot more to gaming consoles these days that just the games…you can play DVD’s, listen to music and also surf the internet. Nintendo and Sony, the traditional rivals, battled it out with each other to gain control of the market by capturing the imaginations of the worldwide gaming community. Even though Microsoft was a late entry, it has given them stiff competition! Let us explore the latest consoles developed by these electronics giants!

NINTENDO WII

Latest in line of Nintendo’s home video game consoles is the Wii, successor to GameCube. A unique feature of this product is a multi-purpose wireless controller. The WiiConnect24 can stay connected to the net even in the standby mode. As per the latest statistics, Wii has emerged as the worldwide sales leader. Mario Kart Wii, Pokemon Battle Revolution… these are just a few of the numerous games available on this platform. Never thought your favourite games would evolve into something so hi-tech, did ya??

SONY PLAYSTATION 3
After Nintendo and Sony fell apart, Sony launched their new gaming console, the Sony PlayStation, in 1991. Latest in the line is the PS3 which, again, is much more than just about games. Apart from experiencing the latest games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, you can enjoy media on blue-ray discs, and of course, connect to the internet.

MICROSOFT XBOX 360

When Bill Gates announced the development of the Xbox in 2000, no one really thought Microsoft could come up with something to match Nintendo’s and Sony’s latest developments. But you can never write them off, can you?? Xbox has come a long way since its first launch in 2001, and the latest Xbox 360 has pretty much what you would want a top of the line gaming console to, and more! The latest games include GTA 4 and the latest edition of Call of Duty… sounds inviting??

With a number of handheld gaming consoles such as the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable also coming up in the recent past, the world of gaming looks set to keep advancing and changing…forever..!!

Hellsgate London

London……2038, the world is not as it once was. Man had reached its pinnacle with logic and reasoning. Everything that was, is and will be to come gathered a universal acceptance as being explained from man’s factual thought process. Man grew abandoning the mysterious and unexplained, writing it off as folly.This should not have been. With what can be explained as an act from the creator, a great and terrible darkness overwhelmed the planet that thrusted Man into the abyss. Man’s logic has turned into mayhem as darkness has begun its reign.

There are stories of this great purge of some sorts perhaps that began from the emergence of the ravens waiting in the Tower of London. Man only armed with what he could understand was completely destroyed and driven underground, ruined by dismissing ancient prophecies and ancient rituals that were seen as foolish superstitions. How far we have come in our deciphering our surroundings…how things were, how things are supposed to be…we haven’t even made a dent into what is real…what are we supposed to do now……

Hellgate game

Flagship Studios, the creators of the Diablo series brings you HellGate: London. Take the next step in RPG’s revolution and evolution. By creating a RPG into a first person shooter game you will not get tired of the same action game with the same twists and turns but what you also get is the depth of a RPG that plays like you are adding your part into the story. Each level is an incredible chapter about the preverbal struggle against our perceived evil in the limits of our bounded minds….

Another moment in this place we call a world. Nothingness, absolute dark… Some kind of life I know nothing about springs now, I wonder if we are that concept to them. That forever midnight caldron we call home is consuming right to our being, or if that is any form of reality now. The Templars fight furiously not too far away. Dropping these vial creatures that seem endless. What is this, why did this happen, how can we overcome this……?

Hellgate Tshirt

Hellgate: London is appealing the RPG fans and shooter fans alike. Delivered with DX10 displays that should be standard by now, any RPG player will get the maximum experience on their PC, new or old. Hack and slash your way through this immense tale of a post apocalyptic world revealed to be more than we know….

Seems like we are making some progress against this, impossible. Hunters are making some ground with that old, worthless science stuff the used. We did make some progress with all of that state of the art inventions we ooouuuued and aaawwwwed over….Geez, I can barely remember. At least the dark doesn’t so many terrible things in it for now….

Join in the battle for humanity, or at least a bloodline in a rare action RPG that captures the feel of an epic saga with how you would imagine a struggle like this would evolve. Fight with incredible new playstyles that tear into the enemies with detail and precision. You will be able to get first person perspective from different types of character classes also. Truly an incredible, event, which you can tear right into with great action play. Get into the game with long range fighting techniques of the Hunters or close range fighting, sword play with the Templars. You can also be a Cabalist who fight mid-range too. Fight online in the streets of London and get infinite replayability with no two games ever being played the same….

I can feel the struggle succeeding. The Cabalists are keeping the vile creatures at a good distance for the Templars to strike with their tremendous force. These secret society guys really did their homework about this and it’s the only stuff that will get us through this ordeal. I can feel hope, hope our defenders and valiant protectors provided the necessary footing the one thing we are starting to realize that can defeat this horror, us, Man. We can be the undying factor that will drive these terrible days away for good. We got to keep our faith and strength in ourselves, it is an undying force that will overcome these dark days, and we need all the help we can get. We got to get this done and drive this evil out of here. I believe, for the first time in a long time I believe that we will win our way of life back again. Are there any more people out there that can help us……?

Psp Games Embracing Horizons

PSP Games- embracing gaming horizons

Play Station Portable has arrived on the gaming scene and almost with a bang. I have found out that the gaming console from Sony’s manufacturing chambers comes with a huge screen. It enables quick and stylish downloads of games, music, wallpaper, videos and much more. PSP downloads from the PSP portals are of such high quality that they have given me an unforgettable experience.

I have got the PSP downloads in many ways. A poor way to do so is through the numerous programs of file-sharing. They make the PSP download quality really low and also take a lot of download time. There are also various sites which claim fast download speeds and charge a fortune. Availing their package, I had nearly touched penury by the time I built a games library of my own.

The best way to go about getting the PSP downloads done is to search for the reliable portals, which allow PSP downloads at breakneck speed. They took a one-time membership fee from me with an initial subscription hovering around 50 dollars. The library of games is huge and the quality of output is just as good.

In order to get around to this game one can do several things such as using a walk through or Video Game Cheats in out cheats section of the site.

Many PSP games which the Sony men even could not conceive has been made possible through PSP hacks. This volume of hacks and tweaks has just pushed in a complete new world of games to the PSP multimedia; they run through unassigned codes and by getting plugged into the PSP hardware, present unlimited new features of the PSP. The games have greater graphics and resolution. I have simply loved them and so will you.

Such great PSP Download techniques have revolutionized the way we see the gaming console and has done a lot in changing the spiraling fortunes of Sony, ever since the inception of Nintendo DS in the arena. I wish the PSP all the very best.
