Galaxy Empire is a space story based strategy game. I have been playing this game for last 2 days and found it pretty impressive. Previously my top favorite was the AOE game that offered a cool game-play, battling with other players around the world. Now this one is coming at my top chart as I am spending more times with it.

Installation:

Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/. Or just search with “Galexy Empire”

Requires Android Version: At least 2.3.3 and up
Space Requires: Less than 30MB

Story Line

The story is pretty much similar like the Age of Empire and other conquest games. The difference is that in this game you will be assign as a leader of your planet. where you will improve the planetary base with various technology update like mining, researching, creating space fleet, energy consumption solar panel etc.

The better part is- this game loads faster than AOE and other types of strategy game and use very little phone resources. But you should know as an android user- you can play the game non-stop 4 hours only on a single charge. Graphics quality is better than I expected on my Sony Experia Ion.

The game advances with the instruction from a lovely lady who will tell you what to do. You complete each task successfully for a reward and will be assign for the next until your level is up. The tasks you will be assigned at the beginning is like: establishing a crystal mine and Metal mine. This two resources are very important for the advancement of the game. You will also need energy sources like gas to do more research for the technology upgrade.

Anyway, the fun part is you will get the instructions quite handy and can decide your strategy on what to do next. If you do not want to buy Dark Matter which you will need to advance in the game just wait for 3 days and log in each day to get some as bonus. Remember that- without finishing a task if you advance to the next task that means you will complicate your advancement in the game.

Defense is the best strategy in this game so make your base stronger and storage full of metal and crystal with energy pack before you go for an attack. expanding won’t be good unless you can keep what you have occupied.

If you ask me how’s the game- the answer is ‘Awesome” it can be a very addictive and time filler game. I believe this is one of the best strategy game for sci-fi lovers who want to play games on their android. a5 star rating from me.

For a subject matter like this- we have to consider that our time and space measuring units are very much smaller than the universes comparison. So we can never get the exact idea of how big or how longer it is going to stay. Again, the problem to measure this thing is- the universe is expanding itself.

Anyway, here is an explanation that I love most.

Prepare for the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004′s The Chronicles of Riddick.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered.

The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

There are several things that would cause your computer to be sluggish. Do you have a lot of programs installed on your computer? When you start your computer, some of those programs may be set to start running automatically, and that takes additional computing power which could make your computer feel slower.

How-to Geek gives you instructions on how to check which programs start running at start up. “There is a tool installed with Windows, called MSConfig, that allows you to quickly and easily see what’s running at startup and disable the programs you prefer to run on our own after startup as needed. This tool is available and can be used to disable startup programs in Windows 7, Vista, and XP.”

You might be surprised to see that programs you don’t even use are automatically opening each time you start your computer. Be careful, though. If you don’t recognize a program, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should disable it.

Most new computers automatically run a defrag program but that could be the cause of your problem, too. Over time, files in your computer can become disorganized, just like files in your desk. A defrag program helps keep things running smoothly. Check to see that yours is enabled and set to run a scan at regular intervals.

It could also be something as easy as clearing your cookies and cache. Many of the websites you visit will leave a cookie on your computer. This generally isn’t anything to worry about. A cookie is like a place-marker. It tells that website that you’ve been there before and what you’re usually looking for, but it does not allow them any access to your computer.

But too many cookies can gum up the works and slow things down. How to clear them varies depending on your browser, but it’s a very simple process. Google around if you’re having difficulties finding out how to do it in your browser.

If none of these suggestions help, then it’s time to run a virus scan. Viruses can be picked up in any number of ways, and even the best virus protection doesn’t always work. Some of them can be pretty sneaky, too. One day your computer is running a little slower than usual and a few days later you’re looking at a blank screen.

If you are still having problems with a slow computer after following these steps, consider speaking with an expert. You could also consider reinstalling your operating system, and that will likely resolve all your problems.

Rumors of Xbox Game Console changing it’s Name

It’s rumored that the Xbox will be changing it’s name to that of the “Xbox Fusion” game console. Of course, it’s highly speculative that the Xbox game console name will happen but Microsoft has been noticed purchasing numerous domain names with the words, “Xbox Fusion” in them. This of course, could just be some kind of promotion that Microsoft is planning on running with it’s new console, or it could be a ground-breaking change to their upcoming game console with a revolutionary name! Although most people would like to say it’s just a rumor, it’s a bit curious as to why Microsoft would be buying up so many numerous domains in association with the rumor.

Rumored Xbox 720 Specs

There has been rumored Xbox 720 specs of the game console floating around on the internet in a whole variety of ways. One of the most solid rumors is that although the console will most likely not surpass the specs of that of the Playstation 4, it should stay a pretty good contender of the Playstation 4 by matching up with it’s gaming specs for the most part. Sadly, there is also rumors that the graphic expectancy of the new console may come up short. What has been verified is that the Xbox 720′s CPU will be that of an AMD Jaguar-based CPU which will be clocked at 1.6GHZ, which Is definitely a step up from it’s previous game console. The plus side of this CPU is that it’s highly likely that the Playstation 4 will be using the exact same one which will make it tremendously easier for cross-platform gaming. Rather than go out and buy both new game consoles, you’ll actually have your unique style games for a given console, while getting a chance to delve a bit deeper and get a-hold of the other consoles games, too!

What to expect of the Xbox 720 game controller

Although incredibly speculative at this point, it is expected to be inspired off of the second version of the kinect, which seems fairly reasonable. What this means is that the Xbox 720 game controller will most likely have superior motion detection compared to that of the Playstation 4. Rather than using a standard controller, it may have a more motion-sensitive controller similar to that if the Nintendo Wii’s. Of course, the core of the controller itself will still be there, and I wouldn’t expect it to deviate too far from it’s past designs.

            No matter what the case may be, you can almost 100% expect there to be a competitor to that of the Playstation 4, and although it might be a while until Microsoft gets it’s message out and makes an official announcement, it will be coming. For all we know as most of the information of the rumored Xbox 720 game console is still speculative, it may be a good idea to keep an eye on this potential future game console as it may very well be much more ground-breaking and impacting on our gaming lifestyle than we realize!

What is Oculus Rift?

The purpose of the Oculus Rift is to truly help gamers of all sorts to truly immerse themselves into their virtual reality by putting on a head-set on and truly getting into the gaming experience. The purpose of Oculus Rift head-set is to be put on your head, wear it as a type of goggles and to truly experience the game like you’re within the game. If you turn your head right or left, guess what? You’ll experience that in the game, too! The exciting part of the Oculus Rift is already here, as you can only see with the goggles the virtual reality, aka the game you’re currently playing.

IS it going to be within my price-range?

The Oculus Rift has recently ran a kickstarter crowd-sourcing project in which it raised millions of dollars to help to make the most ideal and innovative virtual reality head-set known to man with the main intent to sell it retail to help many individuals with an average income to get access to this virtual reality gear at a really low competitive price!

Oculus Rift and competition

Up until recently with the Oculus Rift, most companies striving for virtual reality only had the intent to make themselves money by selling off contracts to government agencies or with the intent to bank off a variety of other potential contracts, but not made with the consumer in mind! The fact that it’s amassed quite a good amount of funding via the crowd-source funding through kickstarter that helps you to feel confident that you will truly get your moneys-worth with many individuals working on the Oculus Rift at once to refine it into a perfect piece of virtual reality equipment that you’ll love for years!

Should you wait to get one?

Currently, the availability of the Oculus Rift is the “developer kit” version. What this means is that if you’re a developer and want to help come up with innovative virtual reality programs to go along with the device then by all means, get it! If you’re an average consumer just wanting to get it for yourself, it may be a good idea to wait until the retail version comes out in the very near future, to help assure you get the best quality experience with a huge variety of ways to use it to really truly feel the ground-breaking experience of playing in virtual reality.

The Occlus rift is quite frankly, probably one of the most ground-breaking technologies to show up in the last few years through-out the entire gaming industry, and in a sense it may just be the technology every gamer has been looking for, and at a reasonable price finally too!
