Rockstar was slated to put out Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II was widely seen as the definitive period gangster piece and BioShock 2 was set to give gamers more of the very popular Rapture.And let's not forget that Max Payne 3, with its blading fat anti-hero, was also scheduled to be a winner. Now, Take Two, the publisher of all this titles, is officially saying that all of them will be released no later than June 2010 and not earlier than January 31 of the same year.Ben Feder, the Chief Executive Officer of Take Two, has stated that “We are continuing to evaluate the optimal release window for these titles and still plan to release all four titles in the first half of calendar 2010. At this point, we don't expect any of these titles to launch within our first fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2010.”The company has deemed the Christmas release season to be too busy to put up all its p!
ossible hit titles but is still set to release the second DLC pack for Grand Theft Auto IV, called Ballad of Gay Tony, as well as getting the Chinatown Wars spin off to the PlayStation Portable from Sony and the iPhone from Apple.While refusing to name any names, Take Two has also confirmed that its development studios are playing around with developer kits of both Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's new motion tracking wand, which will probably be ...

One of the big fresh features that EA Sports pushed before the release of NCAA Football 2010 has been the new Season Showdown mode, in which players can score points for the teams supported in real life. Now, the pre-season is over for the mode, and Electronic Arts has lauched a top of the teams that got the most points.The Season Showdown season will be outed with Ohio State as having the most credits, over 100 million, followed by a string of other popular teams: Florida; Texas; Michigan; Miami; Florida State; USC; LSU; Alabama and Notre Dame.In the regular season, Electronic Arts is saying that there are five ways through which a determined fan can help their team score points. They can, of course, play the game using that team against the Artificial Intelligence on their gaming console, which is what they would usually do in NCAA Football 2010. But they can also set up an online match in which their team is involved. EA even picks a game of the week, involving two of t!

Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is a videogame developed by Surreal Software Inc. and published by Sony Computer Entertainment of America. The game was only released for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and launched in January 2002.The title can be classed as a cross between role playing and an adventure experience, with some medieval and fantasy elements. It is being played from a third person perspective.Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is a pretty typical role playing fantasy experience that came out at a moment when developers and publishers were interested in cashing in on a trend. There's a very old and somewhat decaying world, that of Drakan, which is depicted using the full-fledged possibilities of the PlayStation 2.There are, of course, immortal and very powerful Spirit Dragons held captive within it. There are the protagonists, which are a Dragon, called Arokh, and a very capable and female warrior, called Rynn. They need to save the aforementioned spiritual leaders in !
order to restore the world to its former glory.Drakan: The Ancients' Gates has eight different environments that can be explored, there are 50 weapons, which the characters can use and a wide array of spells that can be employed in order to defeat the various enemies and reach the goal of the game.

--------
Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA has been actively promoting its Tegra chip for a while now, but, despite the chip maker's efforts, Tegra-powered devices have, so far, been hard to find. However, according to a recent rumor that has surfaced on the Internet, the chip maker might have landed a couple of important design wins from two of the world's leading PC vendors, namely Acer and Lenovo. Both companies are known for having collaborated with NVIDIA on some of their latest computer systems, the Aspire Revo and the IdeaPad S12, respectively. According to a recent report on Shanzhai.com, citing a 'reliable' source, both Lenovo and Acer have been recently planning the launch of new netbooks that will be based on NVIDIA's Tegra platform. Even better, it appears that the said devices could be rolled out with the much-hyped Google Chrome operating system as early as this month. Unfortunately, there are no specific details regarding the specifications of the said devices, ot!

It's still early to say if the rumors are going to be trusted, but, if so, this will represent a significant break for NVIDIA, which has been trying to expand its product portfolio from the traditional market for high-performance graphics cards.

HTTP:: Reviews of Whitney Houston s Album Spell Disappointing
--------
Whitney Houston has dropped “I Look to You,” her much-hyped and long overdue comeback album, just in time for the Grammy race, on the last day, for that matter. Whether she will actually manage to score a nomination is an entirely different story, but critics seem to agree that the album is mediocre at best, a deplorable attempt at making a comeback at worst. Fans don’t agree, of course. As Rap-Up sums it up, most of the early reviews that have already started popping up on the Internet say the new material is tepid at best: great if compared to what current pop artists release, interesting if considered on its own, but definitely a far cry from the kind of performance Whitney was once able to deliver. There is no strength, no authority and definitely little of the confidence that once made Houston the supreme diva she was just years ago, critics say. What’s worse, they don’t know whether this has to do with the fact that her voice is no longer as clear and po!
werful as it once was, having now been reduced to a raspy whisper, which is sensual enough at times, but cracks when too pressured. Without coming across as overproduced, “I Look to You” seems to play one final trick on Whitney by making her look a simple marionette in the producers’ h...

It was made for the GameCube, the PlayStation 2 from Sony, the PC, and the Xbox from Microsoft, and classed as an action adventure title played from a third person perspective, incorporating elements of a shooter, a role playing experience and some problem solving. The game is not too involved in any of the genres, instead trying to create an adventure where each element is easy to access and complete.It is positioned as a three-dimensional version of the game initially released in 1983. The protagonist of the videogame is a goofy yet very brave hero named Dirk the Daring, who is on a quest to save his princess Daphne. She is currently locked up in a castle and he must face the evil dragon Singe to set her free.The game aims to keep up the initial humor of the series, with the protagonist mostly put in weird situations and!
sometimes reacting more like a normal human faced with huge problems rather than a valiant knight. The castle where the action takes place is filled with all sorts of traps and Dirk the Daring has to overcome them all, which, often, he does in a pure slapstick manner.Dragon Lair 3D: Return to the Lair is a nice tribut...

Gerard Butler has more than shown his worth as an actor, doing a wide range of films from all genres, from musical (“Phantom of the Opera”) to drama (“P.S I Love You”) and action (“300” and “Gamer”). Still, he sees himself as a normal guy, and so does his mother, who is not even remotely deterred from telling him to do the dishes by jokes that he’s a Hollywood star, as the actor himself reveals in a new interview with the New York Daily News. The actor is currently working on the romantic comedy / action film “The Bounty,” but, until it gets out, he has to promote two other, equally promising films: the sci-fi, action-packed “Gamer” and the revenge saga “Law Abiding Citizen.” Speaking of the former with the NY Daily News, Butler has also touched upon such topics as having dinner with his family over the Christmas holidays and having his mother force him back to normalcy by asking him to do the dishes. “I go home and they’ll cook Christm!
as â€" dinner, and she’s like, ‘C’mon, give a hand, come on, wash the dishes or put the dishes away.’ And I’m like, ‘Mom, I am a major Hollywood movie star, I can’t be doing this. It’s embarrassing.’” Butler ...

Detractors that have long said that Whitney Houston’s voice no longer has the clarity and same impressive strength she had years ago, and who prophesized that she would fail at her attempt of a glorious comeback will probably have a field day in light of the singer’s pre-taped performance for Good Morning America. The diva was supposed to do a four-track set in front of the live audience, but showed that she was not yet ready for the comeback ahead of her when her voice cracked halfway through the first song, Rolling Stone informs. Fans had lined up since the early hours of night to catch a spot for the free performance at Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield, where Houston took the stage shortly after 12 at noon. They were, as reports would have it, ecstatic to have had the chance of seeing the diva perform for the first time in so many years â€" part of a historical moment, as it were.

HTTP:: Monkeys Only Dance to Monkey Music Study Finds
--------
People are, consciously or unconsciously, influenced a great deal by the music they listen to, be it happy, sad, jumpy, depressive, or mellow. Their response is almost immediate, and researchers have been curious to know exactly where this habit originated from for a long time. However, investigating this proved to be extremely difficult. Studies always hit a dead end, as primates, the obvious subjects for such investigations, seemed to prefer silence to human music. A new scientific effort has revealed that they, however, respond to monkey music accordingly. In a series of experiments, University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) Professor of Psychology Charles Snowdon, and musician David Teie, from the University of Maryland (UM), discovered that cotton-top tamarins responded very well to “music” made especially for them, by combining a number of call signals that the monkeys used in the wild. When human music was played in the cages, the “subjects” were unaffected, but !
their attention was solicited when the monkey sounds were played. Teie composed a number of 30-second clips especially for this research, using a diversified array of signals that had previously been recorded in the jungle. Two major emotions were conveyed via the songs, either fear and/or ...

According to the release notes for Vuze (formerly Azureus) 4.2.0.8, new features include the aforementioned Drive Detection one for Devices in Mac OS X (for PSP devices), as well as the addition of a factory option to allow switchable unchoke algorithms. Other changes comprise less CPU usage for Seeding Rules, the ability to only create the transcode directories when required, and a properly updated OS X platform component. Corrected bugs include: fixed Speedtest not working; OS X 10.6 support â€" opening torrent from file; OS X 10.6 support â€" not getting data from connected peers; and fixed deadlock during UI initialisation. Vuze is similar to uTorrent, a popular BitT!
orrent client mostly used by PC owners. The app greatly extends the original Python client's feature set, and can manage multiple downloads at once, from a single window, or offer detailed, real-time download statistics with export to XML, advanced download and seeding-management rules, configuration and torrent-creation wizards, embedd...

HTTP:: Free Image Backup
--------
In the past few years, backup software has been growing in popularity mainly because users have realized the importance of having clones for their data they can grab in case disaster strikes. However, backup solutions nowadays allow them more than just a simple compression of the files in a proprietary format so they become immune to malware threats, and its restoration. There are plenty of applications ready to help with restoring the computer to a previous state by creating images of the system drive, thus eliminating the need to re-install the operating system and all the programs one needs. Imaging a partition is the latest buzz in the backup industry and competition turns fiercer every day. Everybody knows pieces of software such as Acronis, Norton Ghost, or Easy Image that are capable of a swift restoration of the system drive and that give you a lean way to check the contents of the created image. But paid products are not the only solution and you can use freebies !
instead. DriveImage XML is a good way to image your drives and restore them at a later time. Recently, the freebie category has gained another trooper, courtesy of Chengdu YIWO, the maker of EASEUS Partition Master, by the name of Todo Backup.

HTTP:: Download New Audacity 1 3 9 Beta for Mac OS X
--------
Audacity, a fast, cross-platform, multitrack audio editor and recorder that supports WAV, AIFF, Ogg, and MP3 formats has been updated to version 1.3.9 beta. Because it is a work in progress and does not yet come with complete documentation (or translations into foreign languages), this early version of the piece of software is intended for advanced users. Audacity permits users to envelop-edit their audio files, do a bit of mixing using built-in effects and plug-ins and, if they mess up, use the unlimited undo feature. The free audio editor for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later (Leopard 10.5.4 and lower) is aimed at audiophiles and fans of music-making solutions such as Ableton Live. A Softpedia freeware pick, Audacity can be used as a sidekick to record and play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. This makes things easier for the users than having to fire up a big program that does so much more, and confuses them with all the available options. Buil!
t-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal. It also supports VST plug-in effects. According to the Audacity development team, a couple of improvements have been made in version 1.3.9 beta. Those are: Compressor â€" new option to compress based on peaks, improved attack and decay time support; and Mixer Bo...

Halle Berry pregnant reports surface in the tabloid media and online, on celebrity blogs, with almost predictable repetitiveness. However, this time it’s the real deal, Life&Style magazine writes, citing a source close to the actress: Berry is three months pregnant and she and model partner Gabriel Aubry are positively ecstatic at the thought of becoming parents again. What’s even better, the mag says citing the same (reportedly very reliable) source, is that the second time around happened without the planning and disappointment of before. While the actress and Aubry tried countless times for baby number one, daughter Nahla, the second pregnancy came as a shock even to them, the insider says. Clearly, Berry is also reportedly very happy about not having to go through the same heartbreak she suffered in 2007, when over 30 pregnancy tests returned negative before becoming pregnant with Nahla. “Halle is overjoyed. The first time, she struggled so much to get pre!
gnant and eventually conceived through in vitro fertilization. This time, the baby was conceived through artificial insemination. She’s just ecstatic to be pregnant again. She wasn’t sure if she’d have another baby, so she’s very happy!” the friend of the couple reveals for the magazine mentioned above. At ...

Some projects from Facebook's recent incubator program, the fbFund REV, are already beginning to “hatch,” with matchmaking startup Thread.com securing $1.2 million in funding from a number of high-profile valley investors. Thread.com is a dating site at its core, but has a number of interesting features thanks to its close integration with Facebook and the extensive use of Facebook Connect. The idea behind the site is simple. While Facebook has no shortage of dating apps, and the Internet has no shortage of similar sites, the whole experience can feel somewhat artificial, at least at first. Where Thread stands out is with its use of Facebook Connect to come up with a set of possible matches. Starting out is simple enough, users login with their Facebook credentials and then fill out some basic info like their age and location, after which they will be asked who they would be interested in meeting and also if they would only like to see single people. There is the opti!

As we are approaching the highly anticipated official release date of AMD's next generation of Radeon graphics cards, more details surface on the company's upcoming lineup, including codenames and possible release time frames. According to the most recent details, the new cards should debut before the end of this year, providing computer enthusiasts with a choice for a high-end GPU, boasting a power-efficient 40nm manufacturing technology and support for the next-generation DirectX 11 API.In a recent news article on xbitlabs, citing sources close to the matter, AMD is said to be working on the release of a new flagship, dual-chip graphics card, reportedly due out sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. The highly anticipated card has apparently been codenamed Hemlock and is expected to replace the Radeon HD 4870 X2, which the chip maker released approximately one year ago.Although the details are still based on rumors, the new card is likely to come out as the new Rade!

Yahoo has had a spotty history when it comes to the social networking type of services. Let's be honest, it has a very bad history, actually, having closed many of its ventures in the sector, something that continues even today. Still, it's not giving up and it's building up steam and support for the latest “thing” in the social world, microblogging. Yahoo's love for Twitter is evident and it's about to become a lot more evident now that it has launched an English version of Yahoo Meme, its own flavor of the microblogging platform. Yahoo Meme was first, quietly, launched earlier this year, but only in Portuguese. The move was somewhat surprising at the time, but many suspected that the service would soon open up to other languages as well. And, indeed, it has, with Yahoo expanding the reach of its microblogging service a couple of weeks ago, but, again, not for the English-speaking users, as some had expected, but for the Spanish ones. Still, the message was clear, !
Yahoo Meme was going global and now the service has finally gotten an English version. But the service still isn't open for everyone to sign up and Yahoo is keeping quiet for now.

As some of you probably remember, Nokia, the world's leading vendor of mobile phones, has made its debut into the market for low-power, low-cost, portable computer systems with the introduction of its first netbook system, the Booklet 3G. Announced over one week ago, the Intel Atom-based system has been kept under wraps for a while, up until this moment, when Nokia announced more details on the device, at the Nokia World 2009 event, which has kicked off today with a keynote on some of the company's latest products. The Finish company has announced that its first portable computer system and also the first device it manufacturers on a x86 architecture, the Booklet 3G, will be available for €575 ($816), pre-subsidies, a price tag that comes close to previous rumors that indicated the netbook to be coming out with a price point of US$799, pre-subsidies.

One of today's most widely used connectivity interfaces is the Universal Serial Bus, better known as the USB, a technology that enables users to connect various types of devices among themselves for data transfer and power. In its current state, the technology has reached its 2.0 version, which provides users with a speed of up to 480 Mbit/s, but the industry is currently preparing for the next-generation interface, the much-anticipated USB 3.0 one. On that note, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) recently announced the availability of the USB 3.0 Compliance and Certification Program, which enables adopters of the new technology to test their products to ensure compliance with the USB 3.0 specifications.“The availability of the Compliance and Certification program is a significant milestone, and means consumers are one step closer to seeing certified SuperSpeed USB products on store shelves,” Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF president and chair, said. “When consumers see the !
SuperSpeed USB logo, they will have the assurance that the product interoperates with existing USB 2.0 products and provides all the speed and power efficiency enhancements that SuperSpeed USB offers, while continuing the ease-of-use consumers have come to expect from USB.”

HTTP:: Study Says Men Look First at a Woman s Body
--------
Researchers have often asked themselves (and they are certainly not alone in doing so) what is the first thing that men look at when making contact with a woman, her face or her body. While previous studies have tried to come up with an answer to that by analyzing each aspect alone, a new research has managed to factor them both jointly and separately, as SciTechBits can confirm. According to the findings, men look at a woman’s face first, therefore rate it higher, if they’re looking for a long-term relationship. However, if they want only a fling or something that comes with a deadline or few strings attached, their focus changes on the woman’s body, meaning, they judge her the by-now-all-too-popular WHR (waist-hip-ration) standard. The former has to do with a woman’s personality, many traits of which can be “read” in the face, while the latter happens for obvious reasons, hailing back to the days when men still picked their mates based on such considerations!
as fertility and health. Researchers took 260 volunteers, 127 men and 133 women, and presented them with photos of models, all of them as similar to one another as possible. Some photos were just head shots, while the others showed a model’s body in underwear. Great effort went into making the photos stick ...

In 2005, a deep-sea expedition in the Arctic Ocean unveiled a number of species far beneath the surface that were completely unknown to science. In fact, the most well-established of the species, a jelly-like creature, was totally new, and never-before investigated. Naturalists no longer stick to the old ideas about where life may have evolved, after they have found species of organisms in the most unaccessible places over the last years. The ones in the Arctic Ocean were separated from other deep-sea animals probably millions of years ago, by huge, deep-sea ridges. These natural blocks make it extremely difficult for anything to go in or out, especially if the animals they “trap” are accustomed to living at only a certain pressure and temperature. If the ridge extends beyond these ranges, then the species naturally cannot leave the area without dying. The most secluded such area that the experts were able to identify thus far is a region known as the Canadian Basin, !
the BBC News reports. The 2005 study explored it with a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV). The largest part of the funding for the study conducted four years ago came from the Office of ocean Exploration and Research, a division of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The complete result...
