iPhone Resident Evil 4 Finally Officially on App Store

Resident Evil 4 in Japanese accidentally had become available in Japan App Store but had been pulled back very fast this week. Now, Capcom officially announced that Resident Evil 4 is available on App Store. The game sells for $7,99. Eventhough it was ported from another mobile edition, essentially, the game reflects the atmosphere of legendary horror survival Resident Evil series. 3rd Person 3D camera, location based laser damage, shaking the phone for reloading and extra specific actions like climbing ladders, using binoculars with tap of buttons. Check the video below featuring first 4 levels.

Space Invaders iPhone Shooting Game

Do you remember the legendary two-dimensional arcade space shooter game? Space Invaders evolved much since its first release in 1978 and now available for iPhone with lots of new features. The application called as Space Invaders Infinity Gene at App Store.

The game starts according to original version, only left/right movements and one weapon. Hopefully, when you progress the levels, new weapons unlock such as laser, gravity, wave and get the ability to move on the screen freely. The game consists of 38 levels in various difficulty settings. Interestingly, the player can choose the game track from its own mp3 list. It is an addictive game and tempo never falls.

If you like space shooter games for iPhone, Space Invaders Infinity Gene is an excellent choice. Here is the official trailer for the iPhone game.



And finally old Space Invaders screenshot for nostalgia.


I think you mayenjoy another Space iPhone game called as Pangea Antimatter as well.

With vSide now gone…what 3D Avatar options are left for Mac users?

Many people in the virtual world of avatars will be sad to see the much adored vSide community go...but after they are gone, what options are left for all of the Mac users out there? Many worlds that use client downloads like IMVU and Twinity don't support Mac. That’s why we’ve decided to take this unfortunate opportunity to do some research and make sure that no users are left out of the mix. The list below is comprised of 3D avatar sites that are compatible with Mac operating systems.

1. Second Life
2. Frenzoo
3. Hangout.net
4. Just Leap In

Second Life

It’s difficult to consider Second life just another avatar community, simply because it is exactly

what the name states – a second life. Second life is a downloaded program that takes users into an expansive virtual world of design, community and creativity. A couple fair warnings before getting to deep into the site, the program can be somewhat slow and since the majority of the users tend to be older the content can be quite mature (sex oriented) at times. The good thing is that they do offer a Teen Second Life also for younger enthusiasts. Although many of the items in the marketplace are free to obtain, it should be noted that most of the popular items among users do require payment in the form of Lindens. Ultimately the choice is up to you for how deep you wish to involve yourself in this Second Life, so go explore and decide for yourself!

Frenzoo

Frenzoo is a new 3D avatar community focussed on lifestyle and creativity. Inside the site, users have the ability to create cool and expressive clothing, accessories, hairstyles and more. Best of all is that content creation is free and easy to use, even for those who have never touched a graphic editor before. Some of the newest features offered to users include creating your own dance moves and pose animations in a fun and easy-to-use creation format, and they even offer features for those of the 3D creators out there. Perhaps the best part is that once you have downloaded a simple plug-in for your browser, no reloading is required, everything is contained within the browser window. Since the age requirement for Frenzoo is 13 and above, this game caters to both younger and older generations alike. Don’t let us spoil all the fun; go check it out for yourself..

Hangout.net

Hangout is a more recent entry in the virtual world space. It supports Mac and is browser based (there is a small plugin to install). It lets you have room and invite friends to chat there. Using the service can be slow to load, although the graphic quality looks great when it comes up. The avatars are cartoony and cute. Like Vside and unlike Second Life and Frenzoo there is no content creation, you need to choose from their predefined items. One problem at the moment though is that there is never anyone else online which makes it tough to find people to chat to.

Just Leap In

Just Leap In is a 3D room based site similar to Hangout, and high quality graphics and even physics (you can play bowling by moving around objects) It has more offline functions like commenting to let you leave messages for others when they are offline. The spaces let you arrange your rooms as you like which can be fun to do and make it look perfect. However as with Hangout, the biggest problem is that there is no one online to chat with, the community has yet to be built up.

As stated before, each of the sites listed above are supportive of the Mac platforms and enthusiasts. Take some time to go explore all that each of them have to offer. Who knows, you might just meet some new friends and a new community that is perfect for you!

Warhammer Online Land of the Dead and Bioware attack!

Welcome! As you already know, few weeks ago has been released special free expansion for Warhammer Online, Land of the Dead. Well, I already been there and I'm little bit disappointed, because this new area is small and you need only few hours to discover most of it.

In comparision with Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar, where Turbine added enormous areas like Forochel, Land of the Dead is kinda microscopic - “much ado about nothing”. I don't want to be cruel, but if Mythic want to popularize Warhammer Online, this kinda way, well Warhammer will fall soon.
I was very excited when I read about other thing, that Bioware will be involved in Warhammer Online, and this probably best thing I read this year!!!(related to Warhammer Online of course..)

I hope that this way, Warhammer Online change into better online MMORPG, because EA Mythic well, they they are lack of ideas.
