The device looks a bit like a futuristic Samsung Galaxy S concept, one that’s very thin and has two interesting physical buttons at the bottom, aside from the Home one. The plus and minus button were also present on the Wiimote, which you probably know if you’ve seen it. The Nintendo phone comes as an answer to the new Xbox and the PS4.

Obviously you get a ton of Nintendo games, all of them running natively on the device. The lower area of the device totally reminds me of an iPad Mini and the specs of the Nintendo phone include a 5 inch Full HD AMOLED screen, 2 GB of RAM, Nvidia Tegra 5 graphics and a 2 GHz Snapdragon 8 core CPU. There’s also Wii U Chat on board, basically a Facetime alternative, Wii U connectivity support and a Community app with leaderboards, achievements and Cross Play is here as well.

There’s even a gamepad accessory pictured above… How cool is this gizmo?

Nokia Lumia Play features two game pads at the back of the phone and they can extend out and be used as such, improving the gaming experience. It is also possible to use the device as a gamepad when interacting with an Xbox 360 console. The device features a high definition 1136 x 640 pixel display, a touchscreen with Gorilla Glass protection. There’s also a 5 megapixel front camera capable of 720p videos, while at the back there’s a 10 megapixel camera with Full HD video capture.

This Nokia concept phone runs Windows Phone 8 and measures 7.6 mm in thickness. Lumia Play offers both a directional pad and action buttons, plus there should be some minor shoulder buttons available, although I’m not so sure. The handset has a pretty unusual shape, seen from the front with lots of straight edges and straight lines, so without curves. No specs were mentioned, but a quad core CPU and 2 GB of RAM would be welcome. Is such a phone possible?

It looks like 2013 is going to be a big year for gamers. With the release a few months ago of the Wii U, Sony and Microsoft are highly likely to release the successors to their current consoles, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. At this point the respective titles are PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720. These are of course unofficial and will likely change upon their reveal. This years E3 is going to be huge with the anticipation of what these companies are going to be showing. With both Sony and Microsoft fairly evenly matched, it will be interesting to see how the new consoles compare and which one will be the superior one. Here are a few points to consider with the imminent release of these new machines.

Launch Titles

Having a decent amount of launch titles is important for a successful launch. There is nothing worse than getting a gamers attention with a new console, but having little to choose from when they buy it. If you come out of the gate strong then gamers will be satisfied.

Price Point

Microsoft had the edge on this one last launch. Sony placed a $600 price tag on their console which was far pricier then the cost of the new 360 from Microsoft. Hopefully Sony has learned the lesson from the initial PS3 release and will make a much wiser choice this time around.

Advertising

A great advertising campaign is critical to a launch of this size, and hopefully both companies will take the time to do it right. This will of course utilize television, the internet and social media, and consistent store advertising. Both companies should do a good job at showing the technology of their machines and how they will integrate into the consumers lives. Both companies last time around attempted to make a console that would become a central media hub in your home that would allow you to do more than just play games. While it can be argued at how successfully they accomplished this, this next generation should improve on this, while still staying true to the original purpose which is to make a great gaming machine.

So now all we can do is wait as we only have a few short months to wait for what is going to be a great year for all console gamers. We will just have to make do with our current consoles in the meantime.

Seasoned players in the PES Master League Online mode are able to secure successive victories and achieve high rankings as they understand the game well, know what works in PES Master League Online, and are able to exploit the weaknesses of the game to punish their opponents. In this tutorial, you will find out how you can apply some of these tricks in your next online game.

1. Controlled Shot

The controlled shot in PES 2013 and PES MLO is very effective, perhaps too effective for everyone's liking. If you have a top striker, a controlled shot has a high chance of finding the net. To execute a good controlled shot, aim towards the far post with the player's stronger foot, charge up the shot and press R2. The striker will curl the ball nicely past the goal keeper into the corner of the net. Online players use this frequently to great effect, and you should as well.

2. Chipped Through Pass

An effective way to split the defence. The chipped through pass enables you to bypass the entire defence with a simple ball. Use this in conjunction with a fast striker, and you will have plenty of one-on-one chances with the goal keeper in PES 2013. This is used to a great extent in PES MLO, and definitely a necessary skill to master in order to rise up the rankings in the online mode. To use the chipped through pass, push right analog stick towards the striker and trigger a forward run. Once the striker start his run, hold L1 and charge up the through pass button. Placing the striker all the way to the top in the formation will aid in the implementation of this trick too.

3. Play Left Footer at Right Flank

And vice versa. Think Robben and Ribery for Bayern Munich. Or Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria at Real Madrid. Playing a left footer at the right flank is very useful as it allows the player to easily cut into the box, aim for the far post, and send a powerful shot towards goal. It also puts your player in the best position to execute the controlled shot mentioned earlier in this tutorial. When you are playing with a formation with two side midfielders or wingers, select appropriate players for the role such that a left footer player is on the right flank and vice versa. For a formation with 2 strikers, you can also play a left footer striker as the right striker and vice versa.

These are the top 3 strategies used by majority of the top players in PES Master League Online. Practising and using these strategies will allow you to match up to the top players in the online mode.

There are different themes when it comes to video games and people love pretty much different things. With scary themed games, you will need to be ready for a bit more tension; both in your senses and in the game. There are some scary games that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat and some which you will dare not play at night when you are alone.

One of the scariest video games ever is Clock Tower. This is a game that has its origin in Japan and was really designed for the initial PlayStation. Scissorman is the villain in this game and you need to escape from him as much as possible. As the name suggests, you will find yourself in a scary castle where the villain will be out seeking you. You will be busy looking for clues to escape from him now and again whereas he will be out to get to you. There are some versions which have been made even with more tension and they have nightmares woven into the plot. This, no doubt is one of the games that you will play while continually holding on to your breath; for fear.

The other game that has been considered very scary is Resident Evil. The plot of the game revolves around military personnel who are confronted by the problem of zombies staying somewhere in a scary mansion. What even makes the game a real plot of tensions and chest-gripping fear is the fact that there is little weaponry for you. This means that there are decisions which have to be made precisely and fast just so that you maximise on the limited arsenal at your disposal.

Fatal Frame II has been touted as being the scariest video game by many quarters. The player takes the role of a village girl, Mio Amakura who has the disadvantage of confronting ghosts. You will have the power of exorcism over these ghosts should you be in possession of an antique camera so that they do not ruin you. However, the real tension is brought about by the fact that the films you use in the camera have powers which are not of the same capacity. You will only get to know whether the film was effective in keeping the ghost away or not once you flash it on the enemy. You will be holding on to your breath during the entire game, definitely.

There are indeed more games that have been touted as making it to the scary list; but what can be considered most scary to a person may really not be that much creepy to the next. However, one thing that stands out with such scary games is the fact that they add lots of tension to the game; the desire to escape from imminent danger. The setting of the game is also very important in creating a scary game. Imagine being alone in the castle, running to reach the castle door, all the while worrying where the ghost is!

1. Unique “Leaf Odd Curve” body design

1. Original “TPM.KEYBOARD.1” design keyboard This keyboard features:

• A full QWERTY layout
• Designed with all PC keyboard function and control keys
• Integrated mouse with three mouse buttons
• Integrated gaming keypad
• Grip angle key rotation
• Relocated numeric keys for semi slide to reveal

• Feather mode (capacitive mode) for fast finger typing
• Thumb mode for thumb press typing

• Original dual located mouse i.e. buttons at one position & mouse pad at other position
• Gives user a comfort of using both hands in mouse operations

• This keyboard is designed with a blank button and it is not there by mistake. The reason I added this button on keypad is for times when we need to keep screen or monitor awake for something important but the screen turns off due to timeout.

• Unique bottom line positioning of numeric and function keys (win)

• Speakers are located in both top and bottom, so you never need to worry you held the phone correct or not. Just pick up the phone and answer and the call.

• “TPM-STYLUS-1” is simple yet effectively designed stylus with a unique design and high precession. It occupies very less space inside TPM-VIPNI.

• Central Placement of 3d Camera at the back which gives you the perfect judgment of what you are capturing.

TAP Controlled UI

This is most important feature for users working in mobile mode. As you might have observed that we have not exposed any control buttons on front side of TPM-VIPNI. TPM-VIPINI has a new feature of “Tap Controlled Buttons”. This Tap Controlled System is based on accelerometer built inside the system. The UI is fully TAP Controlled in Mobile mode as well as Touch Screen mode.   The major difference between a Tap and Touch screen gestures is that “the touch screen gesture will work on a touch as it should but a Tap controlled UI is controlled by an Accelerometer which detects a Tap and ignores the Touch gesture”. The device is logically divided into four quadrants (yes, the whole device and not just the screen. refer diagram below).Tapping in different regions on a fixed combination will issue commands like “Home”, “Back”, “Menu”, etc. For e.g. Double tapping bottom left quadrant will navigate screen to “Home”. Double tap on bottom right will open up “Menu” and so on. The Tap Control works in two ways:

• A fixed rhythm to unlock the phone no finger sliding required
• Imagine you are in a busy train or a very crowded place with headphones on, but can’t find the tiny button to answer the call, but with TPM–VIPNI all you need to do is tap in the predefined rhythm and answer the call without even unlocking the phone or pulling the phone out of the pocket.
• In an emergency situation you can tap a particular rhythm to make an emergency call or message without taking out TPM–VIPNI from your pocket or bag.

• Battery Indicator – Red : Dead , Blue : Good , White : Full
• Telephony Indicator – Missed-Call’s, SMS, MMS e.t.c.
• Social Network Indicator – Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp e.t.c.
• Professional(work) Indicator – Email, WordPress , MS.Exchange e.t.c.

1. Video in (via supplied video-out converter cable)
2. Mic/Line in
3. Audio out 3.5 (can be used as headphone jack but it’s different)
4. Dedicated DC port for that extra-long work in computer mode usage
