Reviews of MP3 Players

While the ipod Touch has wifi and games, its audio and video quality are mediocre. If you sincerely care about your music and videos, the Cowon S9 is superb at bringing out the best of both. Cowon’s legendary sound quality is as one would expect from its latest media player, but the AMOLED screen is the highlight that appeals me very much. It is 1000x more responsive than LCD and has 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio improvement, making watching videos on this thing quite amazing. Everything is very sharp and high quality videos don’t blur in movement. Best of all, there’s no need to spend six or seven hours converting a 2 hour movie if it’s in AVI or WMV, so it’s much easier to enjoy videos. If you’re more into music, the S9 supports FLAC and OGG for audiophiles, allowing you to enjoy your music the way it was meant to be listened to.

The UI is not THAT clumbsy. It’s not as crystal smooth as the touch, but it’s much better than a lot of touchscreens IMO. The UI takes some getting used to, but once you know all the shortcuts, you’ll be handling it like a pro, easily getting to where you want to go. With a dual core 500mhz processor, it’s more than capable of handling whatever you throw at it, so that’s not what’s causing the occasional lag, but rather some firmware bugs that will likely be resolved quickly.

Cowon loves the S9 and will be sure to improve it even further than it is now so that everyone can enjoy it. Already people are customizing the interface to how they see fit and soon programmers will fix issues and offer alternatives, so there’s no reason not to buy the S9 if you’re afraid of its interface being faulty.

World War II is drawing to a close and the Russians and Germans are fighting through war-torn Berlin. The Russian secret service is trying to steal atomic bomb technology from the collapsing German Army. An American elite sniper disguised as a German and working alone, you must use your stealth and sniping skills to stop stalin’s forces from controlling the world’s nuclear technology. Only you will be able to stop the Cold War.

First let’s get something straight: hiding in a dark place waiting for the enemy to come and get them takes up very little of a real sniper’s time; snipers are people who move into position to get the perfect shot, lay down support fire for friendly troops, and, once they’ve got a few shots off, they move, getting into another position. This may be unknown to snipers in online shooters, but it’s true, and it’s what you’ll be doing in the highly enjoyable long-range shooting that is Sniper Elite.

Call of Juarez has an ages old scenario, but still always likely to draw the crowds in, a bit like a good old western. In the game, two brothers torn apart by greed, ambition and betrayal. The going was tough, but at least you could find a nice girl to drink a few whiskey shots with in a grubby saloon. Anyway, this first-person shooter will be a real pleasure for anyone who would like to know what it feels like to use a Winchester and don a pair of dirty cowboy boots.

You are in for some serious gun fights and dynamite explosions. Get your hands dirty cowboy and join in the fight with whatever cheap trick you have. It’s all bound to end in blood anyway.

No other game taken from another popular media has been as well received as this one. This action adventure game achieved such a high level of greatness that you won’t come out the same man as you were before you started this game. Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is the full title of this superb game, was written by veteran Batman writer Paul Dini, and is based on the long-running comic book mythos.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, your archenemy, the Joker, has instigated an elaborate plot from within the Asylum, where notoriously vicious villains have been incarcerated, most, if not all of them, by The Batman himself. You are tasked with investigating this plot, and you find out that the Joker is actually trying to pull of one of his most devious tricks by creating an army of Bane-like creatures that threaten Gotham City. You will thus be focusing on your combat abilities, as well as your stealth and detective skills, with the ever ready help of your arsenal of gadgets, which would make James Bond mad with envy.

By all means, try this, if only just because you’ve heard it’s good. It is! Batman: Arkham Asylum won a Golden Game Award, a Spike Video Game Award, and earned the ‘Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game’ title in the Guinness World Records.

In Splinter Cell, stealth is your greatest ally. You have to keep a cool head, act silently and quickly, and avoid messy gun battles. Steer clear of the security cameras, stay in the shadows and hide those bodies is my advice to you or those over trained guards will kill you before you can say ‘What was that’.

In the game, you’ll play as Sam Fisher, a lone field agent for NSA(National Security Agency) behind enemy lines. If you are captured, the government will deny your existence and the game is over. A huge hit on the Xbox, this game has made it’s conversion to PC perfectly, high end graphics cards make it prettier than it’s console counterpart, and the use of the mouse makes for easier control.

The latest technology is Fisher’s greatest ally, equipped with night-vision and infra-red goggles as well as a plethora of high-tech lethal and non lethal gadgets, including the sticky camera and the ring air foil, and the Swiss-army-knife of guns: the SC20K sniper rifle capable of putting a bullet between the eyes of a guard 100 feet away in the right hands.

Games developer Natsume will launch its new PlayStation Portable next month, ahead of which, Natsume has released a new set of screenshots for the new Harvest Moon title, Hero of Leaf Valley. In the new game, Leaf Valley is suffering destruction from heartless Funland Corporation, so that players have to grow crops, raise animals and mine precious stones and minerals in a bid to grow stronger.

“These new screenshots demonstrate what players will encounter when they work together with the villages in order to save their small town from demolition.” Said Hiro Maekawa, president and chief executive officer at Natsume. “We think this new Harvest Moon adventure will be the most fulfilling ever for the PSP, especially given that player can choose from multiple endings with the open-ended storyline.”

The game will debut on the portable console next month. Take a glance at those wonderful screenshots first and just wait for the game in not too long a lime.
