Tech and Christianity 101: Teh Resources

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Random Thoughts, Review, Reviews

In Part 1 of my Tech and Christianity series, I talked about how important tech would be to a Christian’s ministry. Today, I will talk about what resources there are for the pastor and the lay Christian. First up, there are a myriad of articles on how to walk the Christian life. From Apologetics to devotionals, and even a series of webpages on how to deal with hard issues the Christian/Biblical way, there is no reason for a Christian to fall away from the faith if he is online. Not even the threat of pron could hurt a Christian’s walk, if he loves his God unequivocally. The resources are so many, I even stumbled upon an exposition on the book of Revelation (Chapter 12) that finally seems accurate and highly objective.

Table Tennis Review

Posted by David as Games, Review

1Up.com has a review up on Rockstar's Table Tennis. I have been wondering if this game was going to live up to the hype, and even if it was worth renting, and finally I have the answer. And while it's conceivable you'll be playing head-to-head matches obsessively, you really have no other choice. Bare-bones features include only exhibition, tournament, and online play. I gotta wonder, where's the dorm-room staple 2-on-2 match? (Or beer pong, for that matter? For shame, Rockstar.) The lower $40 price point helps offset these negatives, which is pretty good for a game that can so easily suck in both sportos and your nongaming friends. The game, which some basically everyone have given it an above average rating ...

Kameo: Elements of Power Review

Posted by David as Games, Review

Xboxic has a review of Kameo: Elements of Power, a game that was one of the launch titles for the Xbox 360, but recently got a price reduction. I’ve got some mixed feelings with this game. It has a nice atmosphere, and the sound is really great. But when you’re done with the main quest, there’s just not much left to do unless you’re an achievement whore. It’s definitely not a bad game and with its price cut it’s definitely worth the money. And finally because it’s the only action adventure available on the Xbox 360 and the only one that’s next-gen worthy, I still give it a good rating. And so in the end, the launch title still comes out ...

John Woo’s Stranglehold Hands-on

Posted by David as Games, Review

Someone over at Joystiq was able to score some time with John Woo's Stranglehold, an upcoming game for the Xbox 360 that has John Woo's name attached to it. Take the gun out of your mouth folks. John Woo's Stranglehold looks like more than just a shot-to-sh-t cash-in on the Hong Kong action auteur's single-syllable last name. Senior Game Designer Patrick Curry (a loyal Joystiq reader) pulled me out of the crowd for a little quality time with Midway's homage to Woo's bullet ballets and I came away impressed. This 360 game is from the same team that did Psi-Ops: Mindgate Conspiracy, an awesome Xbox title that was on everybody's "best game that no one played" list. After commiserating ...

Blazing Angels Review

Posted by David as Games, Review

Pocket-lint reviewed the Xbox 360 game, Blazing Angels, WWII arcade style flight sim. When it comes actually flying the plane, everything is very simple and although the planes don't have any real differentiating flying physics they are easy to control. In game you aren't left to your own devises, but have other wingmen to help you fight it out against the axis of evil. These wingmen can be commanded into different formations, and gamers who've played any of the Ghost Recon series will be right at home ordering them around. They give it a rating of eight out of ten though wish there was more difference between planes in the game.

Top Spin 2 Review

Posted by David as Games, Review

Pocket-lint reviews Top Spin 2, a tennis game for the Xbox 360. Sometimes you just have to get the bad out of the way first. In the case of Top Spin 2 that means you’ve got to be prepared for plenty of load screens and more annoyingly for those load screens to load, load, and then load some more. Just like an old Spectrum +2 loading from tape the game takes an age between matches and training sessions. This is noticed even more so when some training sessions last seconds rather than minutes. After that, it is all good stuff about the game and in the end it earns a nine out ...

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Review

Posted by David as Games, Review

Gamepro has a review of Battlefield 2: MC. The Battlefield rules of operation apply in Modern Combat. Much like previous Battlefield games, the gameplay is a mix of fast first-person shooting with a hint of authenticity of the era in which you're fighting. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat excels online. Too bad the single player experience isn't as exciting. The visual and audio package is suitable for Battlefield 2. In general, the areas look great, but there is noticeable draw-in where you'd least expect it. They give the game a 4 out of 5 for fun factor. The only thing to dip below that rating is the controls which score a 3 out of 5.

Plantronics GameCom X30 Headset Review

Posted by David as Accessories, Review

Over at 360Insider they have put up their full review of the Plantronics GameCom X30 Headset for the Xbox 360. In my testing both the sound and mic quality are superb. The Halo 2 headset had an in-ear design which provided great voice audio quality, but muffled the sound from your TV speakers for whichever ear the headset was in. The X30 headset provides similar audio quality, but since it doesn’t go as far inside the ear you can still hear all the other crucial game sounds. Regarding the mic, the noise-cancelation seemed to work well and others in the game could hear me loud and clear. In the end they liked ...

Rumble Roses XX Review

Posted by David as Review

Gamepro reviews Rumble Roses XX, and says the game does what it indends to do by being a silly sexy street fighter game. This game satisfies just about every fetish, with the exception of a Chyna-bodied wrestler. The seductive teacher, the wet nurse, the sun-razed Californian bimbo, and even a generic Britney Spears are included for you to have power over. XX has eight modes in total, including a Street Fight mode where pinning is not employed and instead functions like your traditional fighting game, and a Queen's Match mode where the winner gets to humiliate the defeated by ordering her to do things such as a silly dance, in other words, to shake what momma gave them, and in ...
