Saints Row 2 Review

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Saints Row 2 is a sequel to Saints Row where you arrive at a hospital in prison after waking up from a coma which you get put into in the first game. Compared to the first game, there is a lot more stuff in this game, more activities, more missions, more cars (and planes!), more action, and more weapons. When you awake you are met by someone who breaks you out of prison which eventually leads to you becoming the leader of the saints and “owning” Stillwater.

You no longer own the church in the game (and never do) because it belongs to the Ultor corporation which is taking over the city. One thing I must say that this is NOT Grad Theft Auto IV, don’t expect amazing graphics or incredible AI, this is like GTA on cocaine. That said, it is still a very good game though, all the activities and missions all feel fresh and are a lot of fun. The whole game will take you about 25 hours to beat but thats not including finishing all the activites. Much of the fun I had was playing coop which you can play every mission and every activity together and adds new elements for the 2nd player rather then rehashing the original activity. Coop and vs multiplayer are totally different though, coop is little lag and you can roam the whole city while the versus is laggy, in a small level and overall not a lot of fun. Overall the game is a lot of fun and I think it’s worth playing atleast once.

Got a EEE PC!

Friday, October 17th, 2008

EEE PC 901I bought a eee pc 901 this week, just got it today. Pretty good so far, writing this post from it. Keyboard takes a little to get used to but overall a good design and size. Right now I have Linux on it but it could be better which is why I’ll put XP on it over the weekend. Already did a video chat which works good, everything that you would expect to work on a laptop works. A cool little device with great mobility and battery life that is good for everyday use.

Comparison of Xbox Vision and Eyetoy

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Looking for a webcam for your pc? Well here are the console cameras that you may already have.

The Xbox Vision Camera has a better picture then the eyetoy. It is easier to install, easier to focus and much smaller then the eyetoy.

The Playstation Eyetoy is a little bigger and a stretch to install, but includes a great mic which is a huge plus.

Out of the both I would recommend the Eyetoy more because it’s most likely cheaper and the mic can be used for programs such as skype and works great.

Search Google… From 2001!

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

google.jpgGoogle has release a search of their site from 2001. This is their oldest index they have, and it is to celebrate their 10th birthday. So check out the search or check out the google blog for information about this.

We had so much fun searching that we wanted to put this old index online for everyone to play with. We thought it’d be even cooler if we could actually see the full versions of the old web pages, so we worked with the Internet Archive to link to their cache of these pages from 2001. Step into the time machine and try a 2001 Google search.
