A Trading Simulator That Moves at Lightning Speed
These days, there's practically no hotter topic than cryptocurrency. While some crypto whales sing the praises of their favorite coins, others bemoan their expertise on the subject. For most, there's only one way to truly understand how their crypto savvy will serve them—by actually trading. However, putting your own funds on the line can be stressful—and it's almost impossible to understand just how volatile the market is until you dip a toe in. Fortunately, this crypto trading simulator allows people to experiment with different investing options—without the hassle and stress of actually trading.

For many, entering in a trading contest can be a very good experience. Not only do you become a more savvy trader without taking on the risk, but you can also educate yourself on charts, candlesticks and a wealth of other crypto tools at your disposal.

An Exciting Time to Be Alive
There are many people who believe that we're currently experiencing something similar to the internet in the early nineties. Those who educate themselves now, becoming smart traders, may just be setting themselves up for life. Most people would agree that this is one rare scenario in which there truly is no downside. And with the chance to get your hands on a bitcoin with no risk, what's the hold-up?

Lords of the Fallen GotY (flash sale)

2017-08-22T22:57:00.000-07:00

Lords of the Fallen GOTY - At first glance, it’s easy to compare Lords of the Fallen to the highly successful Dark Souls series. Similarities yes, but a carbon copy? No. To say developers Deck13 Interactive and CI Games have just ripped off Dark Souls would be a grave disservice to Lords of the Fallen, as it is very much its own game. Certainly, after playing Lords of the Fallen for an extended period of time you will notice that although the temples, catacombs, demons and general atmospherics may bring back memories of Dark Souls, there are plenty of original ideas to make Lords of the Fallen a game worth checking out.

Lords of the Fallen puts you in control of a convicted criminal named Harkyn. A big, towering figure of a man who has his past sins notably tattooed across his face in the form of runes. Harkyn is released from prison and given the chance to have his sins forgiven, if he successfully banishes inter-dimensional demons known as the Rhogur who have attacked the human realm. Interestingly for an RPG of this nature, most of the back story, and general plot is included as content in the menus or dialogue options as you converse with characters’ you meet throughout the game. In essence this can work because it’s down to you how much of the story of Lords of the Fallen you want to understand and explore. Like Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas, by clicking through certain conversational choices you unravel more information of the games general plot. There are no consequences of your conversational choices to the degree of Fallout however, and exploration isn’t even close to comparison.

RPG’s do have a tendency to sometimes subject the player to copious amounts of information that can sometimes become confusing or even contradicting depending how deep you like to go into it. Lords of the Fallen certainly doesn’t do that, but I can’t help but feel they didn’t quite strike the perfect balance. There were still questions I wanted answering while playing, and I would much rather of had it consistently explained to me, instead of having to delve into content menus or listen to audio logs.

Traversing through each level of Lords of the Fallen in a third-person perspective is pleasurable enough. Graphically, the gothic, medieval, dark and dingy corridors populated by demonic enemies is excellently designed. Explore areas, fight enemies and gather up loot. It’s nothing you wouldn’t have seen before, but nevertheless, it’s all still executed proficiently and in a stylish manner. Gazing at the beautiful landscape of snow-capped mountains will only leave you wanting to explore the game further. Unfortunately, your time in Harkyn’s world is relatively restricted to the above mentioned corridors and battle areas for when you encounter the larger enemies towards the end of each stage. The general feel of Lords of the Fallen is dark, but by no means is it frightening. The creatures you’ll face are grotesque, but where the game is at its best is when you visit the other dimensions. Barely being able to see a few inches in front of you, each visit is creepy and sinister but brings great rewards if you can navigate through each one successfully.

The boss fights you’ll encounter are challenging enough, but once I had the controls and strategies all figured out, it became second nature to dispense of each foe. Smart, calculated attacks are the key to defeating each boss. It’s not a hack and slash style of combat system. When swinging your hammer or sword you must plan each blow carefully so you have time to block your enemies’ next attack. Like Dark Souls, when you die you can return to the scene of your demise, but instead of gather your dropped souls, in Lords of the Fallen you leave behind your ghost. By visiting your ghost you can collect your experience points and regenerate your health and magic.

You can upgrade Harkyn’s weapons, armour, powers and skills throughout Lords of the Fallen. There are weapons aplenty to choose from, and enough magic spells to learn and cast. Casting a spell is as simple as a button push and shooting out magic projectiles never gets boring.

Lords of the Fallen is an enjoyable addition to the RPG genre. To say it’s a dumbed down version of Dark Souls would certainly be unfair.

Graphically it’s sleek and the general gameplay is well developed. The character design is good, especially Harkyn who as the game progresses certainly starts to become as powerful as he looks. The audio complements the atmospherics well, with a dark and evil presence lurking at every turn. Notably, the highlight for me is when you enter the other dimension, as this is where Lords of the Fallen seems at its most comfortable. There are a few flaws with Lords of the Fallen, especially how the developers saw fit to explain the story and history of Harkyn’s world. However, Lords of the Fallen is an enjoyable and satisfying adventure that is definitely worth a visit.

Killing Floor (flash sale, ends very soon)

2017-08-20T00:02:00.001-07:00

This former Unreal Tournament 2004 mod is more fun than it has any right to be.

Killing Floor is a cooperative survival shooter that pits you and up to five other players against wave after wave of genetically modified, humanoid "specimens" that have escaped the laboratory and are rapidly overrunning England. Although they are technically not undead, and the game consistently calls them "specimens," these creatures, which travel around in hoards trying to eat people, certainly won't be offended if you mistake them for zombies. These all-but-zombies come in a variety of breeds, you can kill them with a variety of weapons, and that pretty much sums up the game. Killing Floor is satisfying in its simplicity, though the lackluster graphics are a testament to its humble beginnings as an Unreal Tournament 2004 mod. Even as a full game, it forgoes accoutrements such as story, characters, and competitive multiplayer mode, yet where zombie-killing fun is concerned, it delivers in spades.

Gameplay in Killing Floor is simple. Slaughter a batch of specimens, buy new equipment from the trader, and repeat until you have a boss fight with "The Patriarch," a nasty misanthrope with a rocket launcher, a chain gun, and the ability to go invisible. No verbose exposition, lengthy cutscenes, or half-baked attempts at character and story development are arbitrarily affixed to this pure first-person-shooter experience. From the beginning, you'll love the game's satisfying gunplay. Guns look and feel real thanks to convincing ballistics and iron sights, which make aiming both important and engaging. In addition, "pray and spray" is worthless on higher difficulty levels, and ammo is often sparse, so every shot counts. To survive the intense and often claustrophobic firefights, you must coordinate with your teammates and make good use of the environment, which you can accomplish by welding shut doors to create temporary choke points, forcing the creatures to fight on your terms. Furthermore, you need to try and complete each round near the trader, who moves her shop between waves (unfortunately she won't sell you her personal teleporter) and opens for business for only less than a minute each time.

At the start of each map, you must choose one of six perks that enhance your skills in certain areas and work like classes, minus the restrictions. For instance, field medics are faster at healing themselves and their teammates, whereas commandos do more damage with the assault rifle and are better at spotting invisible enemies. Regardless of which one you're playing at the time, you'll gain experience toward leveling up your perks every time you act appropriately in-game. For example, each headshot, with the right guns, counts toward the sharpshooter perk, and you earn experience for the firebug perk by roasting enemies to a crisp. When selecting a perk, you may want to look at your teammates, because although you can play with a squad full of chainsaw-wielding berserkers, a well-rounded team will increase your chance of survival.

Using an algorithm that factors in player achievements, such as long-distance kills and headshots, Killing Floor will occasionally send everyone into slow motion, aka ZED time. (The ZED stands for the same thing as the S in Harry S. Truman: nothing.) Although it can be helpful at higher difficulties, the slow motion kicks in all too often during uninspiring moments--such as when you're trying to turn around--and can become an annoyance, particularly on beginner difficulty. Another annoying situation can come up when you're trying to find and kill the final enemy in a wave. Though they generally succeed at navigating the map, creatures can occasionally become caught on something, and nothing is more frustrating than spending several minutes trying to find the last creature only to discover that it's invisible and stuck on a log 150 meters away from the trader.

Although Killing Floor technically has both single-player and multiplayer modes, the lack of any computer teammates means that single-player is good only for playing out your Rambo V: Zombie Apocalypse fantasies. Similarly, Cooperative mode is the only gametype (sorry, competitive players), and there are only five maps, which are, to be fair, all large and nonlinear, with plenty of corners to hide in, doors to weld behind you, and settings for heroic last stands. In multiplayer, your survival depends largely on your teammates, and coordinating with them is both fun and highly advantageous. Unfortunately, ample opportunities for griefing are also available. Mischievous, or simply misguided, teammates can weld shut the door to your escape route, forcing you to choose between going out guns blazing and trying to un-weld a door while fiends chew on your innards. Even more infuriating is not being able to visit the trader because some oaf is blocking the doorway, and given that friendly fire doesn't apply, you can't even execute him or her for it.

As in real life, a magic trail of red pixie dust guides you to the nearest arms dealer.

Visually, Killing Floor compares poorly with contemporary shooters, thanks to its five-year-old engine. Perhaps with this in mind, the developers went for a dark and gritty aesthetic, and when the lights are low, you won't notice how stiff the animations can be. Curiously, most of the specimens are nude, leaving you to wonder whether they rebelled against their masters due to a grossly inadequate clothing budget. The specimens come in familiar varieties, none of which look particularly great, including the zombie with the chainsaw; the zombie that goes invisible; the big, fat zombie that vomits acidic bile; and so on. The most interesting specimen is the fleshpound, a monstrosity with two meat grinders for arms and a giant yellow light on his chest that turns red when you provoke him, prompting a frenzied and deadly rampage. As far as gore is concerned, headshots provide delightful fountains of blood, and you can occasionally sever limbs, but the chainsaw feels anticlimactic. What's the point in having a chainsaw if you can't dismember zombies in a geyser of viscera that would fill the Roman Coliseum?

The sound effects are outstanding, especially for guns, and you can often use subtle sound clues to detect incoming enemies. Unfortunately, the voice acting and soundtrack don't achieve the same level of quality. To be fair, the problem with the voice acting is mostly with the script, except for the trader, who is just all-around bad. She constantly harasses you with repetitive and unappealing sexual innuendos, and the medics incessantly bleat that they are trying to heal you rather than "shag you." Meanwhile, derivative, generic metal music does little to improve the tone, though it does lend itself well to blasting zombies.

Killing Floor is permeated by a sense that you're having way more fun that you ought to be. It's absurd and crass, and yet you can't help but enjoy it. Maybe there is something inherently entertaining about gunning down hordes of zombies. Maybe the simple formula of fight, flight, or weld speaks to some primal part of the human brain. Whatever the reason, Killing Floor will have you gleefully decapitating monsters like the reincarnation of an ancient war god. It's just plain fun, and for only $20 you could do a lot worse.

tales of symphonia - gamecube

2017-08-19T23:50:00.000-07:00

Tales of Symphonia is the second RPG I have played on the GameCube; the first being Evolution Worlds, the first RPG released for the system back in 2002. While both of these games share a striking similarity in their anime roots, creative doe-eyed character design, deep, involved, and twisting storylines, and traditional RPG gameplay, Tales of Symphonia breaks free from the normal confines of the genre to deliver an exciting mix of real-time 3D combat, strategy and cooperative multiplayer that promises to revolutionize the way we play RPG games.

Tales of Symphonia is actually the third installment in a massive RPG series over in Japan, a series that never made it to the states unless you were into the “import” scene. Thankfully, no prior knowledge of the characters or the world found in Symphonia is required to enjoy the epic tale that is about to unfold in this 2-disc adventure.

The opening movie introduces us to the world of Sylvarant, a dying world that is about to be reborn (or regenerated), a cycle that happens over and over with the help of The Chosen and the Tower of Salvation. We are then taken to a schoolhouse in a small village where we meet Lloyd, and several of his friends including Genis, and Colette.

Then we have the Desians, which can best be described as a group of supremacists, almost like Nazis. They have “human camps” setup where they imprison humans for nefarious purposes, some of which are revealed quite quickly during an encounter with one elderly prisoner, Marble. Lloyd intervenes on behalf of Marble and the Desians quickly retaliate by burning the village and making him the most wanted person in the land.

After some introductory exploration and more revealing cutscenes we learn that Lloyd is the human adopted son of a Dwarf craftsman whose mother was killed by the Desians. We also learn that Colette is the Chosen One, daughter of an angel and destined to save the world. Hunted by the Desians and outcast by the village elder, Lloyd decides to join Colette and her church-appointed mercenary bodyguard, Kratos on her mission to reach the Tower of Salvation and regenerate the world.

This mission is no small endeavor and requires thorough exploration of two unique worlds, several trials, lots of combat, locating special seals, and unlocking special angelic powers. Thankfully, Colette has you, Kratos, and numerous friends who will join your party and help to restore balance to the world of Sylvarant.

At the heart of Tales of Symphonia is a traditional RPG engine that has you wandering across maps fighting countless creatures in a never-ending level grind, only in this game the “grind” isn’t as tedious. Most games have you playing a central character and surrounding yourself with NPC’s to fill out your party. In this game each and every character is playable. You can assume direct control and make them the party leader. In fact, there are even some puzzles and events that can only happen when a certain character is the leader or onscreen character.

While your party varies in size based on the story, most of the time you will have at least four members. While traveling across the world map or through towns or villages your party is compressed into the lead character. When combat ensues you have the option to have other humans take command of each party member or let the computer assume control. I applaud the effort to make this game cooperative, but the chances of finding two or more people willing to sit through what is typically a lengthy single-player game waiting for combat encounters (frequent as they are) are slim.

Thankfully, Tales of Symphonia offers an intricate combat scripting engine that lets you pre-program the way your AI-controlled characters play. You can specify how each character moves, whom they target, whether they use melee or tech magic, and even set limitations on when to stop using magic. You can set their aggression, assign them to heal, or support weaker players, or do just about anything. There are several presets and you can even save your own setups and recall them for certain encounters or situations.

It won’t take long before you realize this game is a team effort, and you will need to master the art of combat tactics and battle scripts to get past some of the earlier bosses. Characters are designed to complement each other. You have healers, magic users, fighters and other classes that when combined make a very formidable party. You can even execute special “unison” attacks that chain your entire party’s magical attacks in a single massive assault.

As you fight and defeat monsters you will earn gold (or “gald” in this game), TP (mana), and experience. There is also another variable called Grade. This is a value based on a complex calculation that takes into account several factors from the previous battle. Your Grade score can be either a positive or a negative value based on your performance, so your overall Grade is constantly in a state of flux. You can spend your grade points to purchase Ex Gems from certain merchants.

There is a complicated skill and magic system in place that is divided into technical and strike skills. This dictates the preferred tactics of each character as well as what weapons and armor they can use. Combat skills are assigned to the four directions on the left stick combined with the B button as well as the C-stick.

Each character has four slots for Ex Gems and each gem can range from level 1-4. You can then pick from various skills for each gem that will enhance your characters performance or modify their attributes. This is just one extra level of customization and configuration for your characters and party.

Cooking is yet another skill to be explored in Tales of Symphonia. Each character has a cooking skill and there are dozens of recipes to be discovered or learned from the traveling Wonder Chef. Each recipe requires certain ingredients and when successfully prepared will offer various and often helpful results. You will often obtain these ingredients through combat and when you have all of the required components you can “cook” in the post-combat screen.

As you can see, there are a lot of gameplay components that all combine to create a very complex system, yet it all remains refreshingly simple to learn and even easier to master, allowing you to settle back and enjoy the ride.

Tales of Symphonia has three primary modes of play that can be equated to three levels of zoom. At the furthest level you have the world map that has you wandering deserts, plains, beaches, and mountains. You typically travel on foot, but when a map marker is located you can then ride any available transportation. Wandering monsters are clearly marked on the map allowing you to avoid them (or at least try to) if you aren’t feeling up to combat. Keep in mind that these encounters are the core of the leveling-up process and if you skip too many you will find yourself deficient when it comes to boss fights.

The next mode takes you into dungeons, towns, or even small settlements. Here, you can interact with the population, enter buildings, visit shops, spend the night at an inn, and do all that traditional adventure game stuff. There is even a massive ongoing side-quest for Colette to name every dog she finds in the game, and there is at least one dog in just about every location.

Dungeons have some interesting puzzles that include mazes, elevator platforms, and “gasp”, block puzzles. There is one puzzle that features a giant GameCube in the center of a large rotating room, and another clever puzzle that requires you to kill creatures whose remains become the blocks you must move to complete a bridge.

The final mode is the battle screen. This kicks in whenever you touch any of the crazy animated symbols on the map or dungeon screens. These often look like blobs of oil, or blobs of oil with legs, but sometimes it might be a charging sunflower, a dog, skull, or some other creature. The symbols seldom represent the actual encounter but the enemies are always logical to the location, so if you fight on the beach you will be fighting starfish and other sea creatures, while the desert is home to scorpions and poisonous snakes.

There are some interesting mini-games scattered about the game, and while these could have easily become distractions or diversions, I found several of them to be quite engrossing and a great way to get free items. There was one symbol matching game in a fishing village that netted me (pun intended) more than a dozen potions, all for free.

The final thing to discuss is the general mechanics of the game. You can save your game anywhere and anytime while on the world map. In the cities there is almost always one save point, normally at the inn, and in the dungeons you will often have to unlock a save point with a memory gem. While this all sounds good in theory there are often lengthy sections of the game where there is no place to save and these often lead up to devastating boss battles. Even with the daughter of an angel on your side, you will likely die and have to repeat lengthy sections of the game from time to time.

Tales of Symphonia features, what is in my opinion, the best management interface in the history of the RPG genre. When you highlight an item in the store or in your inventory you are immediately shown via the character portrait if that item will increase or decrease that player’s abilities. You can then do a status check to see the actual numbers. You can cycle characters with the left and right triggers and bounce between windows doing all your buying, selling, and equipping from a single interface. This system works whether you are shopping at a store or simply using your Equip menu.

The design of the world and the story keeps you from getting too far ahead too fast, but you still have the freedom to roam huge portions of the map and it’s all too easy to get into areas where the monsters are way out of your league. And unless you seek out and intentionally engage in combat for the sake of leveling up, you are likely to get into dungeons and boss fights before you or your party is ready. The general rule is that if you are getting pounded, go back outside and level-up with wandering monsters, then try again.

I’ve already covered the basics of combat as far as weapons and magic, but the most engaging aspect is that all combat is in real-time, something almost unheard of in RPG games. This turns each encounter into your own mini fighting game where you can move, dodge, strike, and attempt all sorts of combos using a fluid and intuitive combat system.

Playing as Lloyd for example, you have four basic attacks using the A button combined with a direction on the stick, then you have tech attacks that uses those same directions with the B button as well as a defensive move called Guardian. You can chain these moves together for elaborate combos that rival Namco’s Soul Calibur. The game even keeps track of your longest chain of hits.

Regardless of which character you are playing, you can target individual enemies, and prioritization is often crucial in many of these battles as some enemies feed off lesser ones while others deliver more damage and need to be killed first. There is a surprising amount of strategy at work here and a fiendishly clever game design that exploits it.

When I first saw this game at E3 I thought, “Oh great, an RPG for kids”, but that is not the case. While the anime design and emphasis on teenage school kids as adventurers makes this game look like the Tiny Toons version of Final Fantasy, Tales of Symphonia is a sophisticated game for experienced gamers.

The first thing to grab you is the wonderful opening movie followed by the opening menu with slowly panning camera that takes you through a woods with a river running through it. Once you get into the game you are immersed in a beautiful cel-shaded world created by visionary designers and artist, Kosuke Fujishima.

The game is in 3D but most of the time it is presented in a 2D fixed camera that follows the character. For interiors, the camera is often fixed and a large cel-shade character freely explores as you guide him or her with the stick. It is in these close-up views that the gorgeous and subtle details reveal themselves. Textures like wood and fabric are excellent and there is lighting and shadows and all sorts of details, most of which is strictly for appearance.

Outdoors, things tend to get a bit simpler with some repeating textures and not a whole lot of variety in the wandering monster icons. Even so, the terrain is nicely modeled and populated with trees, dirt paths, sandy beaches, grassy plains, and rocky mountain trails.

Presentation is excellent. Most of the cutscenes are handled with game graphics so the game just appears to take over for some of the narrative. Dialogue is presented in nice easy-to-read text and there is frequent use of emoticons (bubbles over characters’ heads) showing surprise, anger, etc. These icons are even used for one of the mini-games.

There is also the clever implementation of Skits to flesh out character development. These are triggered at glowing locations on the world map or at scripted sequences within the game’s progression. When a skit plays out all the characters involved appear in portraits with suitable anime facial expressions to go with the text dialogue. Skits often have branching conversations that can influence character relationships.

Battle animation is fluid and very enjoyable to watch. Weapon strikes all have suitable blurs and trailing effects and each tech skill (spell) has wonderful power-up animation with rotating rune symbols as well as glorious final effects when the spell strikes the enemy. Lightning streaks from the sky, fireballs arc through the screen, or stalagmites rise from the earth.

The music is quite enjoyable but also a bit repetitive. It does change as you travel around the world to different environments but there is a lot of backtracking in this game, so plan on hearing the same music over and over.

Sound effects are excellent and range from the subtle environmental effects like wind, waves, seagulls, or the hum of some strange technology, to the more traditional sounds of combat. You’ll hear your party announce any special skill attacks and there is also some taunting available. Spells have excellent sound effects that really enhance the visual elements.

There is a lot of story and dialogue in Tales of Symphonia and while you get to read most of it, there is still a surprising amount of spoken conversation. You really never know when the voices are going to kick in but it’s a real treat when they do as the voice acting is really good, not so much in theatrical quality, but in keeping with the visual style of the anime.

When you have these goofy wide-eyed characters you expect high-pitched shrill voices from the kids, overly evil villains, and deadpan serious baritone speech from adults like Kratos. Lloyd and Colette have some of the best dialogue and exchanges so it’s no surprise that they have the best voices doing the speech.

Namco promises over 80 hours of gameplay and this is probably a modest estimate. I’m guessing more like 100 hours. The game comes on two discs, and the switch point is right around the 40-45 hours mark, but keep in mind that this is the game clock and doesn’t take into account dying, reloading, and replaying any part of the game.

In this day of 8-12 hour games anything that can keep you entertained for 100 hours without getting bored is a masterpiece of creativity and the ultimate value, even at full price. The added support for simultaneous multiplayer in the combat encounters might attract a few hardcore gamers but Tales is primarily a deep and engrossing single-player game.

I only play two or three RPG’s a year, and I am so glad I picked Tales of Symphonia as one of them for this year. Quite simply, you have never played an RPG like this. The 3D real-time combat sets this game apart from anything else in the genre and takes the edge off what is typically a grueling leveling-up grind of endless encounters and combat.

The clever writing and dynamically evolving character relationships keep you engrossed in the story, a story rife with more story arcs, plot twists, and surprising revelations than anything I have ever played, or at least remember playing. When you have a game of this scope and complexity and find yourself unable to put down the controller you had better set aside the next month of your life, but it will be the best month you can spend with your GameCube.

Team Racing League (new release)

2017-08-19T23:38:00.003-07:00

Team Racing League (TRL) has the staying power to convert people who haven't ever liked a mascot racing game, and it will definitely please Mario Kart fans with its many tracks and options.

OK, let's say you're a big game company. You've got a mascot - he's absolutely huge with "the kids." You've made a nice little chunk of change off your little guy, but the kids are wising up to the fact that every game you've put out has only had minimal improvements over the previous one, and they aren't buying your little guy like they used to. You've got too much riding on him to stop now - action figures, shirts, and don't forget the talk of a cartoon that your licensing department keeps tossing around. You need a new hook... a new style of game to get the kids right back where you want them. But at the same time, you really don't actually want to have to think up a new concept for a game. So you do what so many developers have done before you - you toss your mascot, his arch nemesis, and a bunch of other characters from your games into go-karts. Then you start designing tracks filled with weapon power-ups. Before you know it, you're shipping yet another Mario Kart clone into the marketplace! Hey, big win, right? For most of the developers out there, the answer is no. Most of the Mario Kart clones that have come out thus far have either added unwelcome elements to the gameplay or have just plain sucked at ripping off the original console kart game. Naughty Dog, however, has managed to create a Mario Kart clone that does everything right. While it has a Diddy Kong Racing-like adventure element to it, as well as a bit of a storyline, it rarely aspires to be more than a great mascot racing game.

All the puppety oddballs in the world of Crash Bandicoot are preparing for the big race. They've all got their go-karts, and they're furiously tuning them up in hopes of victory. So, of course, that's a perfect time for an alien invasion. This alien is Nitrous Oxide, and he decides to up the stakes a bit. If he wins the race, he also wins the planet. So its up to you, as Crash, Polar, Cortex, or any one of the other racers to stop ol' N2O from winning. Much like battles in the video for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" were fought with the dance, the battles in this game are fought through the race.

Beyond the game's adventure mode, you can also go right to arcade mode and participate in one of four cup circuits. There's also a battle mode, which puts you in an arena full of weapons. The battle mode also has a team option, allowing for all sorts of different matchups. The versus mode lets two to four players race against each other on any of the game's tracks.The gameplay may be vintage Mario Kart (yes, it even has the little "hit the gas right before the race starts" speed boost), but the game's track design is top-notch. Be it a well-placed patch of ice in your path or a giant barrel that rolls back and forth across the road, interesting obstacles will get in your way in each level. Between that and the game's uncompromising first-place finish requirement, you'll have to take the time to learn the tracks before you can win. Sometimes, though, you'll need to rely on a well-placed missile or bomb to help you squeak into the lead at the last possible second. The AI is reasonably good. It starts out not knowing exactly how or when to use each weapon, but by the third world, you'll have a tough time keeping up if you can't handle your weaponry properly.

The Crash Bandicoot series has always had pretty smooth graphics, updating with the times quite nicely, and TRL is really no exception. The environments are reasonably large, and they convey the cartoon-like attitude of the game very nicely. The music and sound effects also push the game's cartoon theme, but it's not too over the top, so the cutesy themes never really get shoved down your throat.

Team Racing League may seem like just a Mario Kart clone. And, with the exception of an additional mode or two and the superior track design, it is. But it's a great Mario Kart clone, and it succeeds where the likes of Mega Man, Bomberman, Diddy Kong, the Chocobo, and even Mario himself have failed. TRL has the staying power to convert people who haven't ever liked a mascot racing game, and it will definitely please Mario Kart fans with its many tracks and options.

battlecrew space pirates

2017-08-19T23:26:00.000-07:00

These pirates will be walking the plank.

BATTLECREW Space Pirates is a free-to-play multiplayer combat game that takes place in 2D pinball-like arenas. The game’s most glaring flaw is the paltry amount of content that it offers. There are only two game modes and four character classes, enough for an afternoon of fun before gameplay turns stale and moldy. Players who purchase the Unlimited DLC can play as many games as they’d like, while everyone else is given ten credits a day. Those credits can be exchanged for a single game. It’s a free-to-play strategy that discourages regular play and—spoiler alert for BATTLECREW Space Pirates’s Steam reviews—doesn’t jive with players.

Just over two weeks after its release, BATTLECREW Space Pirates feels empty and desolate. Multiplayer matches are filled to the brim with bots. Queue times are slow and players constantly pop in and out of matches. Significant lag makes one-on-one duels frustrating, hitching frames and stuttering characters littering the screen. These issues reflect the feast-or-famine nature of multiplayer titles. League of Legends and Hearthstone keep queue times quick by encouraging non-paying players to keep coming back for more, giving those who pay a better experience overall. BATTLECREW Space Pirates does the exact opposite by placing limitations on the number of matches free players can join in a day.

A space pirate’s two favorite activities.

The two game modes in BATTLECREW Space Pirates are Team Deathmatch and Gold Rush. Team Deathmatch is exactly what it says on the tin: players rack up points by killing the enemy players as many times as possible. You can easily gain the advantage by ganging up on isolated opponents, defeating them before they can join their own partner. It’s a brutally effective tactic that makes it hard for even the hardiest solo players to match a coordinated team of bounty hunters.

The second game mode, Gold Rush, challenges players to loot as many gold pieces from scattered treasure chests as they can muster. It ties in well with the whole “space pirates” theme, which I would have otherwise forgotten if not for the pirate-voiced narrator. Gold Rush is simple, but the rules are poorly laid out. All you need to do is find the chest and grab as much gold as you can before hauling your booty back to your base. The camera zooms closer to your character as you mash the E button like a madman, making it easier for enemies to blindside you.

BATTLECREW Space Pirates doesn’t always make it clear what you’re looking for or where to start looking. In one map, the path to the treasure chest is blocked by a drone that instantly kills players that touch it. The drone has an obscene amount of health that regenerates mere seconds after looking away. Players don’t seem to stick around for long, so it becomes more and more humorous to watch them slide right into the drone. Just… not quite humorous enough to get over the frustration of mindlessly hacking away at the drone until an enemy shoots you in the back.

This ship’s crew is looking understaffed.

There are a total of four characters to choose from: John Trigger, Janger, Tiburon, and Comet. Each character has a set of abilities that differentiate them from one another. Janger, for example, creates a personal shield that temporarily blocks enemy attacks. Comet lays down mines to lure opponents into deadly traps. These abilities lack distinct themes that tie them together, and their character designs do even less to explain their personalities. Why does Tiburon—the anthropomorphic shark—wield an electric sword and toss down walls? Without any explanation or backstory, it’s impossible to get invested in BATTLECREW Space Pirates’s characters. And if I don’t care about its characters, why would I care about unlocking their rare and unique skins?

‘X’ marks the spot.

There are an impressive nine maps for each game mode for a total of eighteen maps (…or so the Steam page suggests). Despite their unique color schemes and themes, however, the maps are indistinct. Playing in its arenas is like bouncing around a large pinball machine. Sure, one pinball machine might have a cowboy boot obstacle and a masked bandit painted across the background, while another might have casino chip holes and cue sticks for bumpers. But both are fundamentally the same—the difference is purely visual. This is especially disappointing because maps are where the bulk of BATTLECREW Space Pirates’s content lies.

After playing BATTLECREW Space Pirates for only a couple of hours, I realized that I’d done everything the game had to offer. Its flaws became more and more apparent as the shine of its visuals began to wear off like fake doubloons in a plastic treasure chest. There are no hidden troves of content buried deep inside its code. Its reward system is unsatisfying, a small indication at the victory screen the only notice that you’ve unlocked a new skin or emote. How a game about space pirates missed the mark on lootcrates is beyond me—just crack open a treasure chest for goodness’ sake!

Control Flash Movieclip (actionscript)

2017-07-29T10:19:00.000-07:00

owh! Movieclips can be easily controlled using Flash actionscript and the instance name of the Movieclip symbol is used to control it using Actionscript commands.

Create a Movieclip (Refer the Flash Photo Masking tutorial for this example) with some animation and name the instance say, 'mask_mc'.
Create a Button for Start and Stop action of the movieclip and name them as 'start_btn' and 'stop_btn' respectively.
Write the following Actionscript code for the 2 Buttons as given below:

Start Button
on(press)
{
mask_mc.play();
}

Stop Button
on(press)
{
mask_mc.stop();
}

Simple Photo Masking

import (Ctrl + R) any color photo to be masked and its black & white version onto the stage.
Now add a new Layer and move the Color picture into it. Make sure both pictures are perfectly on top of each other.
Add a new Layer above the color picture layer and name it as 'Image Mask'.
Draw any vector, say a rectangle with a height more than the picture height and width say 100. Convert the vector to a graphic symbol (select and press F8).
Right-click the Layer named 'Image Mask' and select Mask from the pop-up menu. This command will make the current 'Image Mask' layer to mask the layer below it (containing the color photo), resulting in the color photo being shown only the area specified by the mask layer.
Save your work and test the Movie (Ctrl + Enter). The movie will look similar to our example above. That's it you have learnt simple photo masking.

Motion Photo Masking

Advanced effects can be created by using Motion Tweened animation as a mask on an object in Flash.

In the above example Create Motion Tween for the rectangle graphic and make the mask slide up and down, the timeline is shown below:

Save your work and test the Movie (Ctrl + Enter). That's it, your cool photo masking advanced effect is ready!
