Controls for movement are based around WASD + mouse aim format. There are only 3 hotkeys you need to know off (space, shift, enter). SIMPLE RIGHT ? AND THANK GOD FOR THAT !</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; ">Unlike the mecha games in the past, it isn't a clutterfest with 20 hotkeys and forcing you to break your fingers across a keyboard. I still remember the old days of mechwarrior where i spent more time looking at my keyboard and manual (which we had back then), then actually looking at my computer facking screen ! </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; ">Cosmicbreak doesn't redefine the keyboard setup but it makes it accessible to the most incompetent of noobs.</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><span ><b>Graphics: F+</b></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; ">The graphics are probably the worst part of the game. The blockiness of the characters give the game a kinda charm but the lack of antialiasing gives it a rough edged look. But the biggest flaw of them all is that the game is stuck in 800 x 600 resolution ! </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; ">For a lot of players nowadays it makes this game so stretched and ugly in full screen mode. This might have been acceptable back in the year 2000? But nowadays even the shittest of games should be able to run past default. I MEAN FOR FUCKS SAKE. EVEN QUAKE II HAS BETTER RESOLUTION. I have to fail cosmicbreak on this part</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><b><span><br /></span></b></div><div style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><b><span><br /></span></b></div><div style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><b><span>Gameplay: C+</span></b><br /><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; ">The gameplay itself can be seperated into 3 modes. ARENA, QUEST and MISSION. Arena is the pvp portion of the game. You can either fight under your faction or against random individuals. The objective in Arena is basically whoever can reduce the other teams contribution to zero. Each time a robot or structure dies, that team loses contribution points. </div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; ">The other modes Quest and Mission are actually identical to each other. Missions consists of a series of levels, each with a mini-boss and robot mobs. At the last level, you fight a final big boss and earn a little cut scene which explains how you "saved the universe". Quests on the other hand are just like one big Mission. The only difference that i can see is in missions, you have to kill all the mob robots before you can proceed and in quests you can just avoid them and run to the final boss.</div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; ">All this really shows me is the lack of content available for the game, thus they have to rebrand certain aspects of the gameplay. But on the bright side, it is a step up compared to most F2P mecha games available because most don't offer a story portion to it and instead rely just on pvp.</div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br /></div><div><span><b>Character Design: AA+</b></span></div><div style="font-size: 100%; "><br />The character design is probably an anime lovers dream.

In the end it still costed me some $$$$ but it was well worth it. Although 2 x HD 5770's are theoretically a bit more powerful than a HD 5870, the problem is that in some games the crossfire setup between the cards would cause "Jumping FPS". Meaning one second you be running at 70 fps and then the next 20 fps. I am not sure why it happens but it does for particular games. Also by having one card instead of two, i have completely reduced the noise and the power consumption. Also the heat seems to no longer be an issue (its weird how running in crossfire would give a 8-10 C jump in temps).Onionknighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02601363285903401627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599276494150939360.post-76052219065474535722010-09-15T06:24:00.000-07:002010-09-15T06:27:29.626-07:00Top 10 Best Computer Cases of All Time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.atxpowersupplies.com/images/all-computer-cases-350x350.gif"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://www.atxpowersupplies.com/images/all-computer-cases-350x350.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I have posted the Top 10 best computer cases of all time on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fearless-assassins.com</span>.

Now I am getting uber speeds with no regret. I also replaced my old heatsink with one that is practically double the size and width. Zalman PerformaX heatsink is damn huge but I love it as I never exceed 50 C in prime95 when overclocking my 955 BE to 3.8 ghz.<br /><br />I also did a complete overhall and threw out my old computer case.

It shoots a very average performance in single core and multi-core processes but its good enough for my price range. I considered an Phenom II 550, but the risk involved with getting a successful unlocking of cores is not worth it even though it is cheaper and has greater potential (if you get a successful core unlock). Its like rolling a dice...your chance of getting a successful unlocked phenom II 550 is like 50/50.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">RAM:</span> 8 GB Patriot Viper II Sector 5 DDR3-1333 7-7-7-20</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9374/dscf0745t.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9374/dscf0745t.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9374/dscf0745t.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9374/dscf0745t.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Reliable ram with good latency levels for DDR3 and for a cheap price.

Uses 3 direct touch copper heatpipes and can be attached just using the clips instead of screws, so you don't have to take out your motherboard to attach it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Power Supply:</span> Antec EarthWatts 650W</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3107/dscf0746.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3107/dscf0746.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3107/dscf0746.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Nice affordable Powersupply. The only issue I have with it is that the cables are not sleeved so it looks pretty ugly. On the bright side though its 80+ certified, 85%+ efficiency and 3 +12V rails that can give off a total of 540 W. But hey for the price of under $60 dollars it tears up the competation and has an average score of 9.5/10 on Hardware review sites everywhere. Way to go Antec for making something that is cost friendly.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Case:</span> Logysis Mid-ATX Case</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7130/dscf0743.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 237px;" src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7130/dscf0743.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This was actually a used case that I took and use. It obviously is not the best and if I may say is mediocre quality. You do not get all the bells and whistles of most newer cases on the market since its pretty standard in toughness and looks. But for $17 I could have done worse<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Video Card 1:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> XFX HD 5770 1 GB DDR5</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5556/dscf0812e.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5556/dscf0812e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This was the first 5000 series card I bought. At the time I didn't have much money and since its performance was very close to that of a HD 4870 and priced even cheaper, I decided to go with it. But the HD 5770 was quite a surprise. It is actually the coolest (34 C idle and 70 C max) video card I have ever seen. Also XFX has a 5 year warrenty on all their cards so I am quite satisfied with what I bought.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Video Card 2:</span> Gigabyte HD 5770 1 GB DDR5</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4512283334_1ff93a52f9_o.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 211px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4512283334_1ff93a52f9_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This card performed similar to that of the XFX model except was a lot more noisy. I disliked how it looks too (its a fricken bat mobile), but it was also the cheapest model I could afford. The one issue I have with it, is when you use it as your main display card, it will make a slight light clicking noise that is barely noticeable unless your face is against the case. But since I use it as my secondary card in crossfire, it makes no noise.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Hard Drive:</span> Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm SATA2 8.5 ms 16 MB</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.ncix.com/gif/36050.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 150px;" src="http://img.ncix.com/gif/36050.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I picked an extremely cheap hard drive that was under $50. But its speed is decent enough already for normal applications. It may hinder loading time when you compare it to a raptor HD or SSD but I am not looking for astronomical performance.

Although 500W was the bare minimum for HD 4870 (according to ATI) and it was a thermatake brand PSU (OCZ and Thermatake are the brands he trust), he had a PCI wireless adapter, sound card, external hard drive and some other utlities helped eat the wattage. Also the AMD II x4 quad core processer didn't help either (it isn't really what you would call "power friendly"). SO you can say we were definitely worried that the video card wouldn't hold up when put under stress. We used the power supply calc lite [url]http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp[/url] to get a general gist of the power that is required to run it.

People starting using terms like casual and hardcore gaming. I am confused with where I fit in. Everyone is telling each other "Your console is not made for me". Throwing around phrases like "The *** only has games for children" and "the **** is just a gore fest for college frat kids". What happened to the console that accomidated everyone? One that made everyone happy, brought everyone peace. A console that you can grow up with.<br /><br />There is no happy medium anymore. After your children left you for your successors the void was so deep. So ever deep. It was like a gash in the center of the video game universe that has divided it in two. Where your successors to the next generation would take up sides on who it is made to please. "I am designed for the casual and family" says the one. "I am designed for the hardcore and mature" says the others. "Oh where should I go? I am so terribly confused" says the video game developer. "Will I choose the right one?"<br /><br />I will miss you PS2. You made everyone happy. Never had we to resort to such differences. The young, the teen, the old, you made us feel special in each and everyway. You were the perfect video game system and I will miss you dearly, but I have to move on.
