Hmmm .. I wondered … out of the 3 biggest mobile operators in Malaysia (Celcom, Maxis and Digi), which company offers the cheapest price for games download. I went to their websites and wanted to compare Transformers ROTF game, but it looks like only Celcom has it. So, I looked for something that is not so new, but not so old either.

I chose Hannah Montana Secret Star. Game Description : Ordinary teen or Pop Star? Juggle the double life of Hannah/Miley right from your cell phone in Hannah Montana Secret Star! Help Hannah/Miley outdo newcomer Mikayla through a balancing act of academics, social activities, performing, fashion more.

Games information
You will get more information at Digi. All three have the game description, but Digi has more. You can find screen shots of the Hannah Montana game at Digi and also the file size. File size is quite important if you have limited memory.

Price
Digi is the cheapest at MYR6. Celcom is charging MYR7 per game download while Maxis is MYR8.

Ease of Use
You don’t need to register with Digi. Once you have selected your phone model and clicked on the download button, it will display the text message that you need to send. Celcom requires you to register before you can proceed. Maxis requires you to enter your mobile phone where it will send an sms for confirmation.

Based on the 3 above, Digi is not only the cheapest, but the most easiest to use and has more information compares to the other two.

Why?

If all the other teams are weaker than you in term of troops, then it is OK, but once you are attack and loose all your troops, it is not easy to rebuild them. Upgrading you resource fields to the highest level will help you to harvest your resources faster and when you upgrade your barrack, training a phalanx takes lesser time. Even if you loose your troops, you know that you can easily build them back faster.

Another thing is, increase the level of your main building. The higher the level, the faster the speed of upgrading other buildings.

Never played Travian before? Try it on the Travian Malaysia.

For those who can’t wait (myself included), the comic adaptation is available at MPH. Got a copy already and has finished reading it I just can’t wait. Although I already know what’s is going to happen, I can’t wait to see the fighting scene where Megatron almost kill Optimus Prime and the part where Optimus is fitted with parts of Jetfire for the final battle with the Fallen.

Overall, it’s entertaining, but the artwork sucks. I’ve read other Transformers titles from IDW before, but this one is not up to standard. It’s not detailed enough, even Mikaela is not as hot as Megan Fox in the movie. I bought it because of the movie adaptation. If based on the artwork alone, I might not have purchased it.

For those who wants more details, it’s better to get the movie prequel series as well - Alliance and Defiance. Both tell the stories that happens after the first movie and just before the 2nd movie.

Ok, now for the spoilers:
Soundwave intercepted the Nest’s secured comm link and found the location of the Allspark fragment and sent Ravage to retrieve it. From that fragment, they brought Megatron back to life.
hmm … I think that’s enough spoilers. Go watch the movie.

p/s The Fallen fell, but Megatron and Starscream got away, so be prepared for Transformers 3

RPGs are centered on stories which are more often than not, adventure and fictional in type. They are usually based on fantasy and mythological genres. The player have to reach a certain goal or complete a mission in order to advance further into the game. Of course, those playing will try to make the character victorious with each challenge it faces.

He determines the actions of his character. The character will grow in power and abilities as he explores the game world, completing quest by solving puzzle or engaging in tactical combat. Some of these involve chasing off dragons, fighting monsters, evil wizards and even saving damsels in distress. The outcomes of these games are dependent on the characters strengths, characteristic, skills and choices he made.

Online Role Playing Games
Online Role Playing Games are RPGs that allows players to interact with each other on the internet. The features of online role playing games are similar to computer RPGs.

Background of Online RPGs
One of the most authoritative games among all RPGs is Dungeons and Dragons. It has a big effect in the development of online RPGs. The success of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest made online RPGs even more popular.

When it was introduced, online RPGs began as single player games. Advancements in internet technology allows players from all over the world to join in and participate in multiplayer games. They can join raids and work as a team to complete missions.

Among the online RPGs, Diablo was the first to come up with multiplayer options. Multiplayer modes became popular during the mid 1990s.

These games have grown to be an online sensation that RPGs companies discover ways to make it better. These improvements, plus the advancement of internet broadband, led multiplayer gaming into massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) that continued to make online gaming popular till today.

Massive Multiplayer Online Games(MMOGs)

With the growth of broadband internet access, massive multiplayer online games were made possible. Using the internet to allow thousands of players to play the same game at the same time made MMOGs very popular to children, teens, and young adults. Some of the popular styles of MMOGs are:

• World of Warcraft - massive multiplayer online role playing game
• Travian - massive multiplayer online real-time strategy
• Dark Fall - massive multiplayer online first-person shooter

Vertigo Number 1 is basically DC Comics showing you the first issues of a lot of their Vertigo titles.

The files are in PDF format and you can download them directly to your hardisks. It’s FREE. In terms of marketing, they give you the first issue free and if you like it and inspired by it, you would most probably continue and pay for the rest of the series.

I have downloaded Sandman Mystery Theatre Vol. 1: The Tarantula and Swamp Thing Vol. 1L Saga of the Swamp Thing, which should keep me busy for a few days. Both are suggested for Mature Readers.

Otaku
We start off with Otaku. Otaku is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly Anime and Manga.

Manga
Manga as a term outside of Japan refers specifically to comics originally published in Japan.

Anime
Anime, is animation originating in Japan. It just simply means Japanese Animation. Of course with the style developed by the Japanese.

Cosplay
Cosplay or costume play involves dressing up as your favorite Anime character and playing that role in public. Conceived in Japan in the early 80s, Cosplay has become the major point of American cons, where otakus show up as the characters they love.

Cons
Short for convention.

Bishonen
It’s ‘beautiful boy’ in Japanese. A slender male cartoon figure with characteristics ranging from mildly girly to really, really girly. A good example is Alto Saotome from the Macross Frontier series and also Tieria Erde from Gundam 00.

Hentai
Hentai refers to Anime, Manga or computer games with pornographic artwork. So, be extra careful when your son reads Manga. You don’t want them reading this kind. Don’t let them fool you with this definition.
