An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls. The peace after the conflict is disrupted by the abduction of one of their friends, Aldous, by a Krawl superior officer known as Maja. The fact that mysterios portals are opening around the Nanair!

Nowadays, we rarely encounter an application that serves one purpose only, it is more often that we stumble upon the 3-in-1 or several-in-1 type â€" for instance, a video converter usually allows you to also play the clips you are processing, whereas an image viewer will most likely also allow you to perform some editing operations (even if we are talking solely about the basic ones, like crop, rotate or adjust brightness, contrast and saturation). This is also the case with the application we are discussing here, namely Image Compressor, which, as you have surely figured out by now, is not only an image viewer and compressor, but also a capturing tool and a graphic comparison one.First and foremost, you will surely be attracted by the user friendly interface of the software, where its main functions are clearly highlighted in the upper bar â€" thus, we have the screen capture menu, then there are the distinct sections of the image viewer, image compare, image retouch and i!

Yesterday, fans of the BioShock franchise were quite sad to learn that the upcoming BioShock 2 title would be delayed and that they wouldn't be able to explore the underwater city of Rapture one more time until the beginning of 2010. But this is great news, at least for Take Two, according to Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divinich, who revealed that with the plethora of high-quality titles set for next year, 2010 would certainly be “the year of Take Two.” “The news of BioShock 2 being delayed into fiscal 2010 has drastically changed my view on Take Two,” he says. “I originally anticipated that Take Two would outperform the industry in fiscal 2010. Now, I expect them to dominate fiscal 2010. BioShock 2, Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II, additional Grand Theft Auto downloadable content, and the possible launch of Agent should make fiscal 2010 the year of Take-Two.” He also praised the company for taking this decision and g!

Skateboarding games have been around for quite some time and have found a home on a lot of different platforms, using their controls to the maximum in trying to recreate a reasonable virtual skateboarding experience. But with the upcoming Tony Hawk Ride title, everything will change, as it will be bundled with a special peripheral in the shape of a skateboard, but without the wheels, through which gamers can control their virtual rider. While a lot of people thought that this was the idea of Activision, in order to gain more profit, it seems that Tony Hawk himself came up with this project. The famous skateboarder saw just how popular and mainstream peripherals had become, thanks to titles such as Guitar Hero, and went to Activision with his idea, at least according to Robomodo's Joshua Tsui, who talked with IndustryGamers about the title that would be made by his studio. “That actually came from Tony Hawk himself,” Tsui said. “Tony is a big tech geek; he skateboar!

Whitney Houston has set out to break her many years-long musical silence by attending the first listening party in London the other night, reports in the British media say. Looking better and more in control than she has in years, the diva introduced her first studio material in seven years, “I Look to You,” and had the select audience literally eating out the palm of her hand once the listening party was over. Although tracks off the album, set for a September release, have already leaked to the Internet and subsequently failed to get the kind of reaction from fans Houston’s staff might have expected, the listening party was hit, it is being said. The singer’s London appearance was more than just a contractual responsibility she agreed to fulfill or stand having to pay penalties otherwise, several media outlets point out: it was also a statement that she was back and she meant serious business this time. Decked in a fabulous black mac, Whitney Houston was all sm!

Sony Ericsson seems determined to expand its XPERIA mobile phone series as much as possible, and the company is now reported to plan the launch of no more than three new devices that will fit into the family. The upcoming phones, namely the XPERIA X2, X3 and X5, have been announced for a really near launch, which would be in line with the already rumored official launch that Sony Ericsson has prepared for Friday, July 17. Not only that the XPERIA family will soon add new members, but it seems that it will also be expanded to more operating systems than Microsoft's Windows Mobile that came along with the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Thus, the upcoming X2 should sport the same platform as the predecessor, yet the X5, supposedly the newly unveiled Rachael, should come to the market with Android. As anyone can easily see, there is no X4 in the lineup, at least not for now, though the upcoming X3 should be a rather interesting device, as it is reported to be none other than the al!

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, one of Michael Jackson’s closest and oldest friends, has been rushed to the hospital after her condition worsened over the past couple of days, the New York Post says. The 77-year-old actress is now at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles, and her condition continues to be unknown. Sources are telling the publication that Taylor’s health began to deteriorate immediately when she learned that her close friend had died. Moreover, spies claim, not being allowed to attend the public memorial and be included on “the B-list” by the Jackson clan only made things worse for the actress, since she was set on paying one last homage to her friend. If true, this would contradict Taylor’s own words, when she wrote on Twitter that she did not want to be part of the media “whoopla,” and would not attend Michael’s memorial. Taylor has not stopped crying ever since the King of Pop passed away, insiders reveal for the aforementioned publication. She!

One such famous character is Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, which made history during the early years of gaming.Sadly, in recent years, things haven't been so good for the blue hedgehog, as Sega's resident Sonic Team hasn't made the best titles for it. But, fortunately for the speedy animal, the developers collaborated with Dimps and delivered Sonic Rush, one of the first Sonic titles for Nintendo's hugely successful DS handheld platform. The game was released on November 15, in North America, while the PAL region received it on November 18, and Japanese fans got a taste of Sonic on November 23, all in 2005.

On the Mac front, Apple offered up a certain “Build 10A411,” which, reportedly, weighs in at close to 750 MB, but also comes in the form of a 730 MB update for some devs. So, the big question is why the different sizes? 9to5Mac reports that Apple has landed “another big one at 748MB,” referring to the latest version of the beta OS, scheduled for a September public release. MacRumors also spreads the news, pointing out that registered Apple developers received a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Build 10A411 no smaller than 750 MB (“about 750 MB” are the site's exact words). AppleInsider, on the other hand, which also acknowledges and documents the release, claims, “The latest update weighs in at roughly 730 MB, about half the size of build 10A402a distributed last week,” yet doesn't post any visual proof (such as a Mac OS X Softwa!

Christian Bale lost one third of his entire bodyweight for the part that, some say, made him a star in Hollywood, that of a troubled worker in “The Machinist.” Shortly after wrapping production on this one, he had to regain the weight (plus some more) to play the caped crusader Batman. After his latest part, a take on John Connor in “Terminator: Salvation,” Bale is back to work and looking thinner and scarier than ever, as ScreenRave can confirm. While it’s not yet known how the Welsh actor managed â€" again â€" to lose so much weight over such a short period of time, since it’s like yesterday that he was promoting “Salvation” and he was looking his old, buffed self, speculation is running rampant that it can’t but have taken a toll on his health. The recently surfaced photos show Bale as Dicky Eklund, the famous boxer turned cocaine addict, on the set of the film on Eklund’s life, “The Fighter.” As fans must know, Christian Bale has an extraordin!
ary reputation for being one of the most conscientious method actors of the moment, so it’s not uncommon for him to look differently from one part to another. Nevertheless, rumor has it that preparing to play Eklund might have taken a toll on his health, since the ...

HTTP:: Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman Campaign Launches
--------
Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson has announced today the beginning of the launch campaign for its new Walkman phone, the W205. According to the company, the campaign comes from four of its communication agencies and is focused on the idea that the new device is an affordable mobile phone that can be purchased by anyone. The campaign for the handset has been led by McCann Erickson, and also involved Burson-Marsteller, iris and Mediaedge:cia. Based on the idea that the W205 is “My First Walkman phone,” the campaign drove the agencies to develop the theme ‘My personal music revolution’ that shows how the device's music features can appeal to any user out there. The new handset comes with enhanced music capabilities, including its Walkman player, FM radio and the TrackID music recognition solution it includes. In addition, it can also offer easy ways of sharing content with friends and family, with personalized contact lists and Bluetooth connectivit!
y for image and video sharing. “The W205 is for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman phone experience. As the most affordable Walkman handset to date, more young people can now revolutionise their music experience by taking their music with them everywhere,” commented Carol...

HTTP:: Palm Pre Sales Stabilized at Higher Levels than Before
--------
Wireless carrier Sprint launched on its airwaves the latest mobile phone from the Sunnyvale manufacturer Palm, the Pre, about five weeks ago, and it seems that the sales of the device are finally starting to stabilize at some good levels for the company. For both parties, actually, as Palm and Sprint alike need the Palm Pre to be successful and to attract customers on its side. After a peak during the first week of availability, when Sprint's stores reported empty inventories, the sales went down a little, though now they are reportedly coming back up again and stabilizing. According to JNK Securities analyst Mike Ehrlich, who called 50 Sprint stores, things are looking better in week 5 compared to the previous time frame. On a per-store basis, the demand on Palm's Pre at Sprint would look as follows, according to Mike Ehrlich: Week 5 Palm Pre Sales Per Sprint Store 10 units or less: 30% (vs. 40% the prior week) 10 to 20 units: 45% (vs. 33% the prior week) 20 to 30 uni!

A marriage between Bing and Twitter comes to satisfy Microsoft’s vision of the continuous evolution of its search engine in terms of the content growth, correlated with the need to supply users with query results tailored to an immediacy of data paradigm that only tweets can provide. The Redmond company is certainly no stranger to flirting with social networking services, but following the launch of its Live Search killer, the software giant stepped up its efforts to bridge the search engine with Twitter. BingTweets is the latest result of Microsoft’s efforts to make Bing more relevant by offering real-time content. “As part of our ongoing efforts to explore options in real-time search, we’ve partnered with Federated Media and Twitter to create BingTweets which fuses Bing search results and real time content from Twitter in an interesting new interface.

Windows 7 has not been released to manufacturing, despite reports to the contrary coming from a variety of third-party sources and from the Redmond company itself. The latest leaked build of the operating system, 6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945, is, in this context, not the final development milestone for the next iteration of the Windows client. Confirmation of this was issued by both Microsoft itself and additional sources that had previously forecasted that Windows 7 would go gold on July 13th, 2009. While the software giant moved to set the record straight denying the RTM of Windows Vista's successors, non-Microsoft reports indicate that the company has taken Build 7600 beyond the 6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945 mark. On July 13th, two contradictory pieces of information were released by Microsoft. First off, there was the Windows blog, claiming that Windows 7 had not been signed off and that there was still work to be done. And then there were the words of Bi!

As you all know, a few weeks ago, the world lost one of its most iconic superstars, the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Since then, we've been flooded with information about the famous singer, in regard to how he impacted the whole world through his actions. We've even seen famous gaming company Sega offer its sincere regrets about the passing of the artist, as the Japanese corporation worked with the famous musician on quite a few projects, even having him star in his own title, Moonwalker, which was launched for older platforms in the 1990s. Now, it seems that Michael Jackson's legacy in gaming will only get bigger, as reports have surfaced that the former company of the superstar, MJJ Productions, was working on a video game that would have featured the singer. The development of the title is rumored to have been going on “for months.” It seems that the project, which already has the likeness of the famous musician and his speech recorded, is set for a pos!
