Onlive Desktop Review

January 22nd, 2012

Rating: 5/5


Today I am going to talk about a great app on the Apple App Store, OnLive Desktop. You might have heard of Onlive, the company that allows you to play games but the games are hosted on their servers, and streamed to you using your internet connection. Well, using their wonderful streaming technology, they have developed Onlive Desktop.

So, what is OnLive Desktop? OnLive Desktop is an App that, using your OnLive Account (Which you can make for free at http://www.onlive.com), hosts your own version of Windows 7 with all the Office Applications.

The OnLive Desktop Windows 7 Installation

The programs that come along with this Windows 7 installation include Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. The whole point of this App is to provide a real Workstation for the iPad, with great intregration with Windows 7 and iPad. Now, this installation of Windows 7 is locked down, you cannot download your own applications or modify it in anyway, so don’t think about running a server off of this.

Wonderful Integration of Windows 7 and iPad

The thing that really blew me away with this app, is that everything about it is FREE. At the time of writing, all you need to start with your Windows 7 installation is a FREE OnLive Desktop. The Free Tier, which is the only tier you can get at this time, allows for The Installation of the Office Apps and 2GB of free cloud storage for your documents. You can soon then pay for bigger storage of documents and the ablility of download your own programs.

I stongly suggest checking out this application.

Do Not Use MCBans (Quick Post)

January 9th, 2012

Everything you need to know is right here. Talks about the admins/developers of McBans writing backdoors which allows them to control and ban people on their own servers.  http://w.tkte.ch/doku.php/minecraft/mcbans

Since the article I have linked to is trying to be taken down by the creators of Mcbans, I have posted a mirrored article just in case. You can view it here.

Combat Arms: Zombies Review

January 9th, 2012

Combat Arms Zombies: 4/5

Hey all! I am back with a review of the new Nexon Mobile game, Combat Arms: Zombies. Combat Arms: Zombies is a game made for the iOS 5.0.1 Operating System, although is playable on lower versions. I was fortunate to be able to review this game after an update, which fixed the game from crashing a lot. So lets jump into it.

The Engine:
The game runs off of the Unreal Engine 3 system, making this game’s engine better then its couterpart, Combat Arms for PC. The game’s graphics look very close to the graphics in the PC game, but with the Unreal Engine, there are a lot of tweaks. The guns reload in a very unique way to how they reload in the PC game. The graphics may look the game, but for an iPad game, this game is pretty good for what it is.

Gameplay:
There are only 2 maps currently in the game (3 if you count the tutorial level). That being said, we can expect from Nexon’s mission statement about the game, that there will be more updates in the future. There is no multiplayer in this game, it is all singleplayer. The controls are fairly easy to understand and control on the iPad, but on the iPod Touch I realized it was a bit harder, but I don’t know if that is because I was used to playing it on the iPad. I can say, that from compairing the iPod Touch and the iPad versions, the iPod Touch version is a scaled down iPad version of the game, making text sort of hard to read. You do get GP in the game, although the weapons are a bit more expensive to get.

This game gets really hard, because it is based around the Fireteam mode in the PC Version. In the PC Version of Combat Arms, Fireteam pits you and seven other players against the AI. Well, in Combat Arms: Zombies, you are in a fireteam, by your self, verses the same amount of enemies.

Overall: Overall the game itself is pretty spot on for what it is. There are no hackers, unlike the PC version, and can be a great way to spend your time. The iPad version is a bit better then the iPod Touch version, but since you buy both at the same time anyway, I don’t think it matters. The price of 6.99$ for the app is a bit steep, but with promises to add more content to the game, I think its a fair price.
