Castlevania: Lords of Shadow didn’t have to work too hard to beat the last free roaming 3D Castlevania adventure I remember, Castlevania 64. This most recent reboot of the Castlevania series far surpasses that mess, and actually delivers a really awesome game. Now, some Castlevania traditionalist might miss the old look and feel of the other Castlevania games, but I like the fact they are trying a different approach.
Having played with the script for a few weeks, I can tell you that Vanilla offers a great and unique forum package for your website. A few weeks ago, I set it up for the forums I added to Firefox Facts and I really could not be happier with it. It seems to almost do everything that I need, plus it keeps things really straight to the point. Vanilla might be the best forum script for people who don’t want their forums to look like the next guy’s.
Chances are there are a lot of people out there using Steam right now. For the rest of you though, you might not know that Steam is a place where you can purchase games on the Web, and then download them via their special desktop client. The idea here is to eliminate the need of keeping up with game disks and clutter – and it works, as long as you have an internet connection that is fast enough.
Looking for a free script to use that can give you a way to publish multiple authors, run multiple blogs, draft and schedule posts, and is fully extendable via pugins? No, I am not talking about WordPress – I am talking about Nucleus CMS. This alternative to WordPress is well worth checking out if you need a blogging script that is reliable, time tested and very solid.
Tired of dealing with databases when setting up a content management system on your hosting account? Wish you had a simpler alternative, that didn’t seem so complex? You might want to try out GetSimple. This XML based CMS is loaded with all the features every website needs, and that is it. If you need a simple way to mange a small website, it might be the best alternative out there.
I spent much of my weekend playing with the beta version of the new Windows Live Writer, and I do have say – they have won me over again. This program is sleek, it gets the job done and really – it is hard to believe that it is put out there by Microsoft for free, because there is no close competitor to Windows Live Writer out there. So lets take a look at why you might want to switch your blog updating to this magnificent tool.
Favicons are an important part of any website these days. They are your tiny 16 by 16 identifiers for your brand, your store, your blog or your business. If you are looking for a great tool to help you create the favicon you want to use – give favigen a shot.
I have tried all the alternatives when it comes to simple text editors and Notepad replacements on Windows. For some reason though, I keep coming back to NoteTab as my simple text editor of choice. It does everything I need it to do, and makes it simple to hide the features I don’t really need.
When looking for a camcorder a few months back, I wanted something that was both lightweight and would provide me with a good enough quality to make it last a while. I found both of these features – and many more with the Flip UltraHD Camcorder.
The best feature of this camcorder has to be that it is really simple to use. You honestly point it in the direction you want to film and then push the big red shinny button on the back.
Now, most of the time – when I purchase a game or a movie, I like to have the disc it came on too. However, not to be totally closed minded to the game download services out there, I thought it might be fun to try downloading a game from the EA Store website. Overall, the experience wasn’t too bad.
