This map is called Sandbox. Sandbox is "a map unlike any we have ever made before" says one of the designers of it. The reason why its so unique is that not only will players be able to play on the ground, they will be able to play in the sky as well. Sandbox lets players build maps in Forge in the Skybox, something that the halo community has been doing through tricking since the game was released 2 years ago. With this new ability, players will no longer need to trick in order to make their floating objects.</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">The Mythic Map Pack will cost 800 Microsoft points (around $10.00) and will be released March 3rd.

Halo 3: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ODST</span> (formally known as Halo 3: Recon) takes place during Halo 2 in a now ruined New Mombasa in a city called Kenya. Although this game is very different from previous titles. You don't play as the Master Chief. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Instead</span> you play as an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ODST</span> Lance Corporal, who goes by the name of "The Rookie." According to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">recent</span> information, the player must search for beacons across the city of New Mombasa, and it is up to the player how they get to the specific location, which gives the game an open-world feeling that is new for the series. When you find one of these objects, they send the player back in time to find out what happened to one of your four squadmates (their names are: Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, and Buck). Along with this new play style, you also lose the ability to duel-wield weapons and other things.<br /><br />I think that this new style of play will be a great success for Bungie, and a fun and challenging game for all Halo fans.

The 13th of March is the launch day of Resident Evil 5, continuing the story that has lasted for years! The game will be available exclusively for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 (Sorry Wii owners!). This game keeps the play style of Resident Evil 4, except your partner isn't helpless...or a blonde. The main character of the game is Chris Redfield and it takes place in Africa. Chris has moved on from STARS and has joined a new organization, the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) and is assigned to an African village because of a mutagenic virus that got distributed in it. As I said above, you get a new team mate...who actually helps! Chris teams up with Sheva Alomar, the BSAA's West African Branch operative. Together, they must find out what happend to the village...and meet some familier faces along the way.<br /><br />P.S. I have played the demo of this game, and I can tell you that its extreamly fun! You only get two levels, but for a demo, it feels like the game is already finished! It is very well put together. If you have the Wii version of Resident Evil 4, the controls for this game might seem difficult the first few times you play.Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11924163699139355251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321473391540003448.post-56918423198598654472009-01-12T21:12:00.000-08:002009-02-15T23:09:17.331-08:00Halo Wars Collector's Edition<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00lLSQDnXAaY0pj_q_rYaZwbaR5lVPwXqphlOsvH4YHb97cbMP9gZRWle0pAHrrphWGjlc4Jn2EnOkSa4QcTd-KSL0gsOsZ2Ilm18hsk6v69AxfFbYyN3AQaz5QX-3YoL9-cavYaCCoUR/s1600-h/halowars_beautyshot_800.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00lLSQDnXAaY0pj_q_rYaZwbaR5lVPwXqphlOsvH4YHb97cbMP9gZRWle0pAHrrphWGjlc4Jn2EnOkSa4QcTd-KSL0gsOsZ2Ilm18hsk6v69AxfFbYyN3AQaz5QX-3YoL9-cavYaCCoUR/s320/halowars_beautyshot_800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290647188257055442" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">Click image to Enlarge</span><br /></div><br />For any Halo fan, the Collector's Edition of Halo Wars is clearly a must buy. The Standard Edition is comes with the usual (case, disc, instruction booklet), but the Collector's Edition explodes with content like a Spike Grenade! The Collector's Edition includes all of the following:<br /><br />-The Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack<br />-Halo Wars: Genesis (a graphic novel)<br />-A Unique In-game Vehicle (The “Honor Guard” Wraith)<br />-Six Leader Cards<br />-Spirit of Fire Patch<br /><br />With all of these extra items, its pretty obvious as to why a fan would want this edition instead of the Standard Edition.Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11924163699139355251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321473391540003448.post-82887964029755343792008-10-28T11:58:00.000-07:002009-02-15T23:11:36.206-08:00Microsoft Announces New Operating System<a href="http://www.minds.nuim.ie/%7Ecyberax/blog/wp-content/2007/11/vista-logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 194px; height: 195px;" alt="" src="http://www.minds.nuim.ie/%7Ecyberax/blog/wp-content/2007/11/vista-logo.jpg" border="0" /></a>Yesterday (October 27, 2008) <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Mic</a><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">r</a><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">osoft</a> unveiled details of two new operating systems. Currently the most commonly used <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> operating systems are Windows <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">XP</span> and Windows Vista. Although frequently <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">criticized</span>, often by those who have never used it, Vista is actually a very stable, rich <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">environment</span> in which to work, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">particularly</span> when used with updated machines.<br /><br />Nevertheless, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> has decided to press ahead with successors for Vista. In late 2009, Windows 7 will be released. It will be much like Vista. Around the same time <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> will release Windows <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Asure</span>, an operating system that lives on <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> servers and not on your computer. This is called Cloud Computing, the "Cloud" being the Internet. Basically this means you won't need an operating system or programs: they will all live in the "Cloud."<br /><br />Whether this works out or not remains to be seen. However, many companies are already trying this, both with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> and with <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a> products.<br /><br />"Cloud Computing is one of the most used technology buzz words at present."Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11924163699139355251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321473391540003448.post-28134956408938094322008-10-21T11:46:00.000-07:002009-01-16T13:37:16.213-08:00ICT 12 Student Blogs:<br /><br /><a href="http://ict12ava.blogspot.com/">Ava Balingit</a><br /><a href="http://ict12ryanbattistel.blogspot.com/">Ryan Battistel</a><br /><a href="http://ict12sofiabusse.blogspot.com/">Sofia Busse</a><br /><a href="http://ict12nicole.blogspot.com/">Nicole Ceralde</a><br /><a href="http://ict12nathanchiu.blogspot.com/">Nathan Chiu</a><br /><a href="http://ict12jonathan.blogspot.com/">Jonathan De Maeseneer</a><br /><a href="http://ict12ddigiacinto.blogspot.com/">Danila Di Giacinto</a><br /><a href="http://ict12le.blogspot.com/">Lia Estrallado</a><br /><a href="http://ict12kfrancisco.blogspot.com/">Kimberly Francisco</a><br /><a href="http://ict12dgeekiyanage.blogspot.com/">Dilantha Geekiyanage</a><br /><a href="http://ict12nikkoh.blogspot.com/">Nikko Henderson</a><br /><a href="http://ict12nikkakomisarski.blogspot.com/">Nikka Komisarski</a><br /><a href="http://ict12steffanimastromonaco.blogspot.com/">Steffani Mastromonaco</a><br /><a href="http://ict12cnery.blogspot.com/">Caitlin Nery</a><br /><a href="http://ict12conner.blogspot.com/">Conner Olenick</a><br /><a href="http://ict12andreastrazzullo.blogspot.com/">Andrea Strazzullo</a><br /><a href="http://ict12adam.blogspot.com/">Adam Troczynski</a><br /><a href="http://ict12ntagle.blogspot.com/">Nikko Tagle</a><br /><a href="http://ict12avillella.blogspot.com/">Alannah Villela</a><br /><a href="http://ict12jwong.blogspot.com/">Jason Wong</a><br /><br />These are the blog URL's for my ICT 12 class colleagues.

FileHippo is a program that tells you how many applications you have on your computer, states the latest version of it, and asks you if you would like to upgrade it. FileHippo found 10 updates for the various applications that I have. It also found 3 Beta upgrades as well.Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11924163699139355251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321473391540003448.post-23697874561867585692008-10-17T11:43:00.000-07:002009-02-15T23:12:51.912-08:00iGoogleToday I signed up for the iGoogle service and made a couple of minor custom changes.
