We hopped into the World of Warplanes beta to see how the aerial portion of Wargaming.net's vision is shaping up, and to find out once and for all if we were truly ace material.
Iterative design
World of Warplanes has seen a lot of changes since beta began. The first builds pushed live suffered from their fair share of bugs, broken gamepad support, and a tough learning curve that left new players vulnerable to more experienced pilots. Wargaming.net issued regular updates to the game over the beta period, patching problems as they arose and implementing a brand new set of tutorial missions designed to give rookies a softer introduction to the game's mechanics.
The result is a game that is much more user friendly and more fun to play. Instead of a player spending her first few minutes trying to figure out how she got shot down, she will instead learn how to safely control her plane and how to disengage and re-engage enemies to ensure a tactical advantage. The tutorial system doesn't necessarily prepare players for the punishing skill gap sometimes found in live World of Warplanes matches, but it certainly makes the first few fights a little less painful.
It seems as though Wargaming.net took notice of some of the most common complaints about World of Tanks and worked to prevent those same complaints from coming up in World of Warplanes. The interface is less convoluted. Tech trees are easier to understand and follow. Planes come in different tiers, like tanks in WoT, but their roles are more clearly defined. And controversial features like "pay-to-win" ammunition are nowhere to be found.
Diving and rolling
One important thing to note about World of Warplanes is that it is not a simulation. While Wargaming.net (in typical fashion) has gone to great lengths to ensure historical accuracy in its designs, flight in the game has an arcade feel that allows the player to focus more on helping the team than on learning the intricacies of real-life flight. Planes in World of Warplanes are tuned to fit into the game world and its mechanics, not to perform exactly like the actual combat machines on which they are based.
Flight in World of Warplanes is a joy, depending on which control scheme you use. Opinions will vary from player to player, but the default mouse control leaves a lot to be desired. It is difficult to pull off purposeful dogfighting maneuvers when using a mouse due to its lack of precision, and targeting other planes quickly becomes tiresome. Because the plane automatically follows the mouse cursor, players must constantly over-lead the target to the extent that it is often forced entirely off-screen.
Dogfighting with a gamepad is much better. With a fixed camera and the reticle centered, it's easier to accurately lead targets and perform daring acrobatics. Rolls, loops, dives, canyon runs, and mid-air high-fives become much more rewarding when they can be executed on purpose.
Perhaps the biggest difference between gameplay in World of Tanks and World of Warplanes is the way in which players can take different roles on the battlefield. Objectives in World of Tanks are simple enough: Capture a base or kill the other tanks. In World of Warplanes, ground targets add an interesting layer of strategy that forces players to think beyond kill counts or capture points. Bombing runs are also excellent ways for less-talented pilots to positively contribute to a team's victory; those who aren't skilled at dogfights can elect to fly bombers and leave the crazy acrobatics to the aces.
Flying in World of Warplanes lands squarely in the "easy to learn, tough to master" category. New players will quickly find themselves getting comfortable with the controls, but learning the advanced techniques required for dogfighting success (especially against faster and more maneuverable enemies) will take hours of practice. It will also take time for a player to find her niche; some pilots work best at high tiers in fast planes, some at mid-tiers with heavy planes, etc.
Wings and prayers
Because World of Warplanes is built from the World of Tanks model, a few negative artifacts from the first game's core design remain. It's not uncommon for a player to end up in a match with planes four or five tiers higher than her own (this may be resolved by a wider release), and low-tier planes in World of Warplanes seem to be much easier targets than low-tier tanks in World of Tanks. The Wargaming.net trademark grind also manages to sneak into WoWP -- there are dozens of cool planes to pilot, but each new aircraft and the unlocks surrounding it require quite a bit of in-game flight time.
That being said, combat in World of Warplanes rarely feels like a depressing chore. Perhaps it has something to do with soaring gracefully above the clouds or the downright beautiful visuals (Wargaming.net has really outdone itself with WoWP's environments), but WoWP never seems to fall into the drudgery so often required by its land-based predecessor. Players will enjoy most of the time they spend cruising through World of Warplanes' blazing skies and frozen plateaus, even when those cruises end in fiery crashes.
Overall, World of Warplanes marks a major step forward for Wargaming.net. The game liberally borrows the good stuff from World of Tanks without inheriting too many of WoT's faults while packing in a number of helpful improvements and enhancements along the way. World of Warplanes is a solid flight game that will offer plenty of high-flying fun to plane enthusiasts, combat lovers, and fans of crashing hilariously into rock formations. And since the game is free-to-play, any curious gamer can check it out with very little in the way of risk.
Summary: This installment in the Call of Duty series features a fresh dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive. 10 years after a devastating mass event, the nation's borders and the balance of global power have been permanently changed. As what's left of the nation's Special Operations forces, a mysterious group known only as "Ghosts" leads the fight back against a newly emerged, technologically-superior global power. In Call of Duty: Ghosts you don't just create a class, you create a soldier. Choose the head, body type, head-gear and equipment, and you can even create a female soldier for the first time. With over 20,000 possible combinations, you can create the soldier you've always wanted. And each soldier you create will also have his or her own load outs.
Review: The single player campaign is a wild ride despite its underwhelming storyline and short play through while the multiplayer aspects of the game take the cake and raise the franchise to even higher heights. It's jam packed with all sorts of new content from an engaging squads mode, a hectic Extinction mode and a new slate of multiplayer features to keep the core Call of Duty gamers playing for hours on end.
Say what you will about the formulaic approach to gaming utilized by Japanese game developer Kairosoft--it works. From the debut Game Dev Story, to more recent titles like Kairobotica and Pocket League Story 2, Kairosoft has managed to consistently deliver on engaging gameplay and clever settings. The newest game out of the developer might sound a little on the bland side, but let's be honest—it's going to gobble up your free time. Pocket Harvest has arrived on Android with all the farming adventure you can handle.
Pocket Harvest tasks you with building a profitable farm through a variety of game mechanics. There's the usual growing of crops and raising of livestock, but you can also bring tourism and sporting events to the area to increase the affluence of the community. Then there are the contests—is your produce the best? Only one way to find out.
You start the game with only a small plot of land, but by passing challenges and earning money you can get access to more land and in-game items. It's very much the same casual RPG experience from other Kairosoft games. However, that does mean a lot of tapping, and sometimes the game doesn't seem quite as responsive as it should be. Playing on a tablet provides a bit more wiggle room with regard to getting at all those buttons, though.
This game is done in the usual Kairosoft style of explicitly retro adorableness. Still, it doesn't look old fashioned. This is more of a pixel art treat that somehow transcends the graphical divide. As you build out your farm and the surrounding town, you will grow to love the simple pixelated world because it's yours.
Pocket Harvest is currently exclusive to Android and clocks in at $4.99. That's a common price for Kairosoft games, but there is no free or trial version this time.
Gather survivors of the zombie apocalypse and defend your fort against undead attacks. Reclaim one building at a time and put your survivors to work scavenging for food, building houses, rediscovering technology and of course killing zombies.
Beware of rival gangs, illness, thieves and even riots as you rebuild a city in this post apocalyptic turn based strategy game.
Features:
Unique turn-based strategy game play
Randomly generated cities
Customizable characters
5 levels of difficulty
7 endings to discover

Promotion for sequel, possible crash bug fix
Summary: Set in the far reaches of outer space during a new Dark Age, WARFRAME introduces the Tenno, a race on the brink of extinction after being enslaved by the Grineer for centuries. Players enter WARFRAME on the cusp of the Grineer's victory over the Tenno until they begin to arm themselves with WARFRAMES - an ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. Hidden within the Orokin Derelicts of a lost civilization, new WARFRAMES lie dormant and undiscovered. These artifacts are the Tenno's only hope for survival.
Short Review: Digital Extremes has created something that's often genuinely fun to play, and given cost of entry, Warframe's well worth a try if you're in the mood for something different.
As a really great free to play game, Warframe is a nice surprise that sets the base for a promising future.. It has large updates that are put out each month. It keeps getting better. It also has very polished gameplay. This should be one of the best free to play games you have played. I would highly recommend experiencing it with your friends as it was meant to be played cooperatively and it's a far more fun than when played solo. The graphics are on par with massive games like Battlefield 3 and Assassins Creed 3. The gameplay is varied a lot, with different missions, varying objectives, randomised changes within missions, appearances from unexpected enemies and more.
It’s easy to see very quickly upon logging into War Thunder why so many people enjoy this game, and why there are throngs of fans who prefer War Thunder over its competitors in the MMO war simulation market.
War Thunder brings many great aspects of competitive online play together in a World War II war simulation that finds the perfect median between simulation and fun gameplay. If the aerial combat portion of this game is any indication, the ground and naval combat should be spectacular when we finally see them, and when it all comes together it is sure to be a massive amount of mayhem and fun.
War Thunder is still in open beta testing, and the developers are working on adding tanks for ground combat and warships for naval combat, and in the end each battle will one day be a massive fight over land, sea, and air for dominance, so even if you don’t care too much for planes, there may be something coming down the pipeline for you.

There's nothing wrong with getting a desired character name because you were the first person to create a character with that name on a given server. But it does kind of smart if you're a Star Wars: The Old Republic subscriber with a burning desire to use the name "Xylophone" but can't, especially if that name was just snapped up by a free-to-play character who hasn't even made it off of Tython. It's with that in mind that the game is instituting a series of name releases for free-to-play and preferred status players.
If you're a free-to-play or preferred status player, this does mean you're at some risk of losing your name. Characters below level 10 who haven't been played in 60 (free) or 90 (preferred) days will need to be renamed, as will characters below level 30 who haven't been played in 120 (free) or 180 (preferred) days. Characters 30 and above will be exempt across the board, as will all characters of subscribers. So you might be able to get your desired character name back! Or you'll find out that Xylophone is actually a level 31 Juggernaut, which is still kind of neat.

This is the twentieth release of Survivalcraft, and it is here just in time for Christmas! You can now harness the power of electricity and build electric circuits that control your world. The UI has been redone and all-new, fuller Recipaedia and help system have been added. A new mineral, germanium, is waiting for you to discover it deep underground. And, obviously, Christmas Trees will light up when connected to a power source.
This is the biggest update yet, and it took almost two months to put together. Enjoy!
Survivalcraft was inspired by Minecraft, and owes much of its success to it. If you like this game, out of the respect for the creators of Minecraft, we urge you to try Minecraft Pocket Edition, which is also available in this store. This game however is not a copy of Minecraft. It takes certain ideas from it, expands on them and introduces concepts of its own into the mix. More than anything, it also pushes the boundaries of the block world genre on mobile platforms.
What's New
1.23 Changes
Added rating & reporting of community content
Added stair corners
Added donkeys, sea bass, freshwater bass
Added larger visibility range, up to 2.5x current (via settings/performance)
Added use of multiple CPU cores for terrain updates
Added generation of traps & graves
Made survival harder by various tweaks
Added ability to define block type of flat terrain
Added analog electrics & 14 new devices
...plus many more
FLV-Media Player is an application supposed to help you play FLV files on the go and although it doesn't support other popular video formats, it tries to promote a different approach in handling the FLV extension.
The program doesn't even require installation because it's being delivered as an archive, so you just have to decompress the files, double click the executable and that's it.
You will then get to meet a very clean interface that doesn't assault the user with too many options, but still hides a lot of features under its menus. FLV-Media Player can open saved Flash movies, but you can also use it for playing online videos.
Every time you open a new FLV file, the tool will open a balloon tray notification to show you some stats regarding the video, including path, duration, resolution and framerate.
The number of options isn't too impressive though, as many other full-featured video players already include them. For example, it has automatic rewind, a loop movie tool, smoothing, sleep-time, peak-meter, an automatic start feature and some other goodies to control the video.
In case you want to set this application as the default FLV player, there is a dedicated feature you can find under the Options menu. FLV-Media Player runs low on computer resources, so it can be safely used on older machines as well.
All things considered, this program does what it's supposed to very well. With an uncomplicated interface and easy to use features, it's safe to say that FLV-Media Player is one of the best choices in its category.
Here are some key features of "FLV-Media Player":
Stepless scaling
Proportional-Scale On / Off
Smoothing On / Off
Auto-Rewind On / Off
Auto-Start On / Off
Loop-Play On / Off
Full-Screen Mode / Maximize

World of Tanks named 'best online game' at Golden Joystick Awards
One thing you may have noticed is how I tend to ignore MMO's; they just don't appeal to me for some reason. "World of Tanks" sounds like another isometric 'RTS' game where the outcome of battles is resolved by showing you a bunch of numbers and classes without anything else. WoT however is a very finely crafted MMO with plenty of variety to keep you engaged. Graphics and sound are excellent for a free game and the battlefields are interesting without being too campy. However, balancing can be a real issue: with some occasions where your new vehicle is significantly weaker or slower than your previous one with one meager benefits. Premium tanks are also a bit unbalanced, as is the whole gold system. Nitpicking isn't helpful however, and I'm going to finish by saying that if you're into tanks or strategy, WoT is definately worth a look despite its inevitable balancing issues.

Personally I believe Nuance PDF Reader is better due to its features. eXPert PDF Reader is a software that lets you view and print PDF documents on Windows operating systems.

Enhanced Security: Nuance PDF Reader also addresses a troubling PDF security issue found within some readers by giving users the option to prevent JavaScript installation. Preventing JavaScript installation creates a safer PDF environment for the end user and adds an additional safety net for IT professionals looking to safeguard their organizations. Hackers have used the PDF JavaScript vulnerability to gain control of a user's computer, exposing users to system attacks and the transfer of personal information simply by viewing infected PDF files. If needed, you now have the capability to turn JavaScript on easily during the installation process. What's more, you can store the digital ID certificates of your partners and colleagues in Nuance PDF Reader and use them to verify digitally signed documents.

Space Rangers HD: A War Apart remasters and expands the world of the cult classic Space Rangers 2. Players begin their pirate career as the lowest of the low, and will make their way to the top of the pirate hierarchy, completing story missions and learning new information about the organization and its unknown leader whose actions threaten the very existence of the Coalition of sentient species. All player actions affect what kind of place the Galaxy will be at the end, with the victorious Coalition that managed to overcome its enemies or with a collapsed alliance from both external Dominator and internal pirate pressures.
Features:
New pirate subplot. After completing any one of the story branches a player can either end the game, or continue playing to complete another branch. the player’s actions influence the entire Galaxy, while the balance in either of wars may be tipped not only by the player, but by AI actions as well. No two playthroughs will be the same.
Major technical overhaul. Display resolutions up to 1920×1200, multi-core processors, Windows® 7, and anti-aliasing in 3D planetary battles are now fully supported.
Extended soundtrack means you’ll hear more than 15 completely new musical themes specially created for deeper immersion into the amazing Space Rangers universe.
Other improvements include more than 10 new text adventures, 15+ planetary battle maps, 20+ government missions, unique non-story events, new equipment and micromodules, access to all hyperspace engagements from the main menu and more!

Gameplay Improvements
Improved AI construction logic. It now constructs more military buildings.

AI research is more military focused at the start of the campaign.
Slightly reduced the settlement defensive bonuses for the auto-resolver.
Increased the willingness of the AI signing trade agreements and defensive alliance.
The AI is now much more careful with constructing buildings that consume food or increase squalor. This has improved the AI's ability to fight food shortage problems.
Added more restrictions on the AI running too often making them exhausted by the time they reach their opponents.
Improvements to the AI defensive ambush behaviour.
AI now have improved ability to place its forces appropriately to deal with simultaneous front and side attacks. This involves angling and bifurcation of its *line with appropriate units to deal with the players use of flanking or harassing forces.
Fixed a bug where sometimes AI factions wouldn't generate a stance towards the player at the start of a Campaign, meaning they started the Campaign neutral to the players faction, and sometimes ask for peace immediately.
When generating armies, the AI is now more likely to choose elite units when they have the funds to do so.
Improved AI use of Pikemen in battles.
Fixed terrain height melee bonuses, so attackers on higher ground have an advantage.
