Over 10 years have passed since its debut but it still is my favorite game

I'm talking about the first Unreal Tournament which was released on the year 1999 and quickly the media and players around the world described this game as the best of that time. Later, a special edition of the game was released the "Unreal Tournament; Game Of The Year(GOTY) edition" because of the success of the original. Also, the UT's community continues to support this old game (with mods, whole new levels, new weapons, armor etc and of course helping others get into UT's world) showing that some times the technology of a game (graphic engine, menu designing etc.) doesn't really matter if it is offering a lot of fun through lan or internet multiplayer especially at levels full of
redeemers :) and is challenging as well (right now i am finishing UT at experienced, i don't think i'll ever make it to godlike). The good part is that i am playing UT on my netbook and of course there is no problem with the requirements, i have more than the recommended 64mb of ram xD. So, if you are in the mood of playing one of the best first person shooters of all-time that showed the rest of them how is done or you want just to remember the old times you only have to try Unreal Tournament. And remember; gamers who forget the past are doomed to fail.

A glance at Assassins Creed II

In Christmas holidays i had a chance to try Assassin's Creed II on my cousin's PS3. Although, this kind of games make me feel boring after some time, i really enjoyed the first Assassins Creed (i haven't finished it yet) that i played both on my pc and on playstation 3 of a friend. The only drawback i found about the first game of the series is that the missions are almost the same after some time and this gets annoying. Nevertheless, this doesn't appear on the second game, as far as i have seen it. You are arranged different missions each time from different NPC's and this is exciting as you reveal secrets through talking with many characters, understanding their behaviour and interacting with them. Also, Assassins Creed II kept all the good stuff from the first game as is the freedom you have to climb at every building and the really beautiful graphics and it added new features as is the cooperation with Leonardo DaVinci that lets you handle some of his inventions (ex. gliding machine) and the "ability" for the hero to swim, something that the hero in the first game couldn't do and it was a real disadvantage (he can climb 70-metre buildings but he can't swim lol). Summing up Assassin's Creed II is a must have game and i can't wait to buy it for my computer.

Asus Eee Pc 1101HA; My very first netbook (Hands-on review)

I'm not the guy that buys every new gadget in the market nor the one that changes his computer system every year or something like that. Frankly, i have my computer system for 3 and a half years now and i feel like having a strong bond with it despite its specs that are considered low-end nowadays. Nevertheless, i wanted to buy a small notebook to help me with my studies and be ultra portable. Also, i didn't want to spent a fortune for it and i didn't mind so much about the features it had. The only thing i wanted from the netbook i was going to buy was to run a version of Windows 7. The netbook i chose to buy is an Asus Eee Pc 1101HA featuring an 11,1 inch screen with resolution 1366x768HD,an Intel Atom Z520 at 1,33GHz, 2GB of ram(great for a netbook) and 250GB HDD that can reach up to 750GB of space using ASUS Webstorage Service. As an ordinary netbook it offers a high resolution web-cam, vga-out port, 3 usb ports, card reader(ms/pro duo), wifi n connectivity for even faster internet access and extreme portability. What this netbook offers more than other netbooks is its long lasting battery life that can reach up to 9 hours using Super Hybrid Engine, so you won't worry if you get out of battery any time soon after you unplug it.

Also, i found its keyboard really ergonomic, so this netbook will be helpful enough to write a blog post while you are on your way somewhere. What is more, Windows 7 fit perfectly with Asus Eee Pc 1101HA and for me is a good introduction to this operating system. Finally if you really care about environment and saving money as well this portable gadget is suitable for you as it has an energy star.
