Zygor Guides Unlock The Secrets Of Azeroth

The debut of World of Warcraft Cataclysm, the third expansion of the wildly popular massive multi-player online role playing game, revealed a dramatically different world. The mythical world of Azeroth was drastically altered when the evil dragon aspect Deathwing the Destroyer returned from the elemental plane, Deepholm, unleashing a catastrophic force in an event known as The Shattering. The resulting environmental changes and the addition of new zones ensure players a new experience at virtually every level. Avid fans of the World of Warcraft will notice more than just the landscape has changed. Most notably, the player level cap has been increased to 85. In addition, a new player race has been added to each of the opposing factions, with the Worgen of Gilneas joining the Alliance and Goblins from the Bilgewater Cartel joining the Horde.

The objective of the game remains the same, to complete quests, prevail in battles, and attain higher player levels. Players can choose between a player versus player realm or a player versus environment realm. Players progress one level at a time by completing quests, destroying monsters, participating in raids, and storming dungeons. Quests are usually assigned by non-player characters, and are specific to the land the player comes from. A quest may consist of finding or transporting various objects, or simple everyday tasks such as cooking and fishing. The completion of one quest leads the player to the next quest, creating what is called a quest chain. Successful players accumulate experience points, gold and valuable quest items. As players progress to higher levels, the quests become more complex and treacherous.

Warcraft addicts and newcomers alike can benefit from the use of Zygor Guides. The guide consists of detailed instructions and an onscreen arrow pointing the player in the correct direction. This completely customizable guide gives step-by-step instructions for completing a task, and the player can choose to view the steps as a list or one at a time. Also, the player can choose the location of the instruction window, along with window size, color, and text size. The guide works for members of both the Alliance and the Horde, and has a different path for each of the races. Also, the guide has a built in talent selector. When it is enabled, it will automatically invest talent points, which players begin to receive at level 10.

Without the help of a leveling guide, players can take months to advance to higher levels. With this assistance, players can reach top levels within weeks or even days. With the use of Zygor's onscreen guide, players can advance much more efficiently to higher levels than with tedious written guides or those that require the user to alt-tab out of the game to view them. The guide suggests the quests in the order that will lead to faster leveling, and avoids time wasting quests. It keeps track of a players' inventory of quest items, and helps the player locate difficult to find quest objects.

The World of Warcraft Cataclysm contains new terrain, new play zones, and thousands of new quests, and the use of Zygor guides can help unravel the secrets and enhance the experience for players at all levels. As players explore this reshaped world, the use of a guide can lead them on the quickest path to faster leveling, while still giving each player a unique experience

War 2 Glory Game Review

Before you start playing War 2 Glory, you have to create the commander that you will have to be. You can choose to be either a male or female commander. There's nothing special about the male commanders but the female commanders' portraits will look familiar to some people. One of the female commanders looks like pop diva, Christina Aguilera, while another closely resembles Britney Spears. I'm pretty sure this game got pictures of hot models to attract its target audience, but I highly doubt girls like that will ever become army commanders...

War 2 Glory a traditional RTS game. Before you head off into battle, you will need to build houses for your soldiers to live in and build your base. If you are not a fan of the RTS genre, there's a chance you probably won't like playing this game.

This is mainly because a bit of patience and a lot of skills are required to enjoy these types of games. Much like most other games, you will be left with low resources and skills at the very beginning. It can be a bit tedious having to build all the necessary buildings to allow your military to prosper.

The tutorial is very brief and does not tell you much in the way of handling combat. All it tells you is how to build your military base and prompts you to visit the game's official website for a FAQs page. The FAQs page is helpful, but I would rather have the game itself explain everything to the player instead. Once you get all that boring stuff out-of-the-way, only then can the real fun begin.

The great thing about War 2 Glory has that many other browser-based titles don't, is that there's actually some audio in the game. It can be a little boring playing a war-based game without any sounds of explosions and gunfire on the battlefield.

The online community is helpful too as there is a chat feature integrated within the game that allows you to ask them for any hints or tips you may want answered. With that being said, you are able to also just declare war with any of the other players in the gaming world you occupy.

Before you declare war, you have the option to even "scout" your enemies by sending out your troops to spy on what they are doing. Unlike other military-based games you have the option to strike from the air, sea or by land.

Graphically, the game is highly detailed and resembles many RTS PC games that were released back in the late '90s. It's good to know that the developer has kept things authentic as you have the option to choose from over 40 WWII vehicles. The world map is really huge so you can expect hours of gameplay conquering other people's bases.

War 2 Glory is a great game for the patient RTS player. The only flaw in the game is the "Rookie Protection Mode". This feature prevents rookie players from engaging from any combat for 7 days unless they level up. It does get a little time-consuming but once you build your army, destroying other people's armies can be dangerously addictive.

Zumba For the Wii

Release Date: November 10, 2010
Publisher: Majesco
ESRB Rating: Everyone

If you have ever turned your television on, then you are probably aware of the countless infomercials for workout programs. They promise sculpted abs, leaner arms, toned legs and fast weight loss. As alluring as those infomercials are, I have never succumbed to ordering any of their products. I was, however, strongly tempted with Zumba, a high-energy, dancing workout routine. It wasn't long after seeing the advertisements on TV that I heard that Majesco was going to release Zumba Fitness for the Wii. I was ecstatic!

When I was finally able to acquire a copy of the game, I took it home and was pumped to get started. I threw on some workout clothes and the one-size-fits-all Velcro belt that comes with the game. It's designed to hold your Wii remote and leave your arms free as you jostle around the room. I popped the disc int the Wii and was met by some upbeat calypso-salsa type music. Awesome!

First, I needed to create a profile. I entered in my name and chose the level of difficulty, "Easy." But then I got a little confused and didn't know how to start the game. After a little frustration, I discovered out that you have to back out of that screen- I felt much better when later I checked online to learn that I was not the only one that had issues with the setup. At the top of the screen by the game title it will tell you what category you're in. When in doubt, hit the "B" button to go back. So with my profile created, I decided to begin the "Tutorials."

There are many tutorials to choose from, with a bunch of variations in each that you can repeat as many times as you like. The downside is that once you've completed the fairly short demonstration, it brings you back to the very first lesson and you have to scroll all the back to where you left off to choose the next dance step or to repeat the one you just did. Some of the main options in this section are Calypso, Cumbia, Merengue, Reggaeton, and Salsa. Calypso Basic is the first dance move so, naturally, I chose that one to begin with.

The instructor, a cyber-spectrum-colored-girl (who sounds like Jennifer Lopez), begins with an easy stepping move. Then suddenly she progresses to a more involved step and then an advanced step all in the matter of a few brief moments. There was no real direction given as far as how to step or where to step; you just have to watch the instructor and hope that you can pick up the pattern. I have never felt more uncoordinated and foolish. Thankfully, I was in my home and not in a classroom full of women watching as I twirled, hopped, and flapped my arms about. I tried the next tutorial and then the next and was not feeling successful at alll. I was so upset and aggravated that I was willing to trade the game in that night.

I took a break from it and went back a day later to give it another try. This time I skipped the training portion completely and went for a Zumba class. In the Solo Mode, it's just you following the instructor again, but the pace feels more realistic. There is a bar at the bottom of the screen that tells you how much energy you've collected, which you earn by moving in sync with the dance coach. Once you reach a certain energy level the teacher is joined by background dancers.

The workout is about 20 minutes for beginners. You can unlock the 60 minute "Zumbathon" in the "Zumba Class" and the "Zumba Party" modes but that is at the advanced levels. There is a multiplayer option for up to four people, and if you are feeling a little competitive, you and a friend can take turns busting some moves to see who can earn the highest score in the "Zumba Attack" mode. Another nice feature is a workout calendar. This allows you to customize your workout schedule and has some helpful tracking aspects.

I have never gone to a Zumba class, but after the five minute warm up, I definitely felt like I was getting a good workout. Going to an actual class might be helpful for beginners, as far as getting a better explanation of the steps is concerned. On the other hand, Zumba Fitness on the Wii is cheaper than signing up for a real class and you will experience a decent workout if you can keep up.

Ultimately, Zumba Fitness is a fun, although not perfect game. Why not challenge yourself and see if you can Zumba at home?

Zumba Fitness

I have learned three things. First of all, I have the coordination of a mentally stunted lizard. Secondly, my hips don't really move all that well. And third, I am not as fit as I thought I was. All of this was taught to me by the latest fitness game for the Kinect system, based on a craze that is sweeping the fitness world: Zumba Fitness.

Zumba, as a fitness concept, is an interesting one. It takes rhythms and moves from various forms of dance, like hip-hop, belly dancing and several Latin dance styles like samba and salsa (with a greater degree of emphasis on these latter ones) and combines them into a work-out that is more like a dance session. The idea behind it is simple - have fun while working out. Anyone who has spent hours on a treadmill or exercise bike will understand the appeal in that notion.

So, like the fitness craze, the "game" does the same thing. I use the inverted commas because, like any other console based fitness programme, this isn't really a game. For some, it is a great workout and a fun way to spend up to 45 minutes prancing around in front of the TV. For others, like me, it is a form of physical torture that makes bamboo shoots in the nail beds seem like a trip to Disneyland. That's probably got to do with the aforementioned fitness level, though.

I think it's important to note, at this point, that Zumba Fitness has received a number of negative reviews online. Having read some of them, I realise that the reviewers a) missed the point and b) were more than likely not in this game's target demographic. The whole Zumba things has a distinctly feminine feel to it - because guys don't know how to wiggle their hips, which (it seems) is a core mechanic of a Zumba work-out. This is not a game, and it is very securely aimed at a female market, although men brave enough to take on the routines will doubtlessly draw benefit from it.

And you're going to draw benefit, trust me. If the buckets of sweat pouring off of me within the first ten minutes were anything to go by (added to the fact that I couldn't move too well the next day, thanks to the intensity of the 45 minute workout I foolishly put myself through on the first go) this system works your whole body, and at a very high intensity level.

I will admit, though, that I didn't do very well. The user needs to mirror the actions of the "instructor" on the screen. If you're doing well, the instructor is coloured green. If not, they go yellow or, at worst, red. My on screen instructor spent so much time in the bad zone that I started thinking they might be a member of the Communist Party.

This is chiefly because of two factors. Firstly, zumba-ing is not easy. It's an all-body work out all the way. None of that 'let's work your quads' stuff. Zumba is all or nothing. And secondly (one of the failings of the software) the instructions are a little unforgiving. The system has a full 'tutorial', but the explanations of the various moves could have been just a little clearer. Rather, they deep-end the user to a degree. A little time and perseverance will work wonders, though, and if you're dedicated to practicing, you'll be prancing around like the Zumba version of Baryshnikov in no time.

The move detection via the Kinect system tends to be rather good in Zumba, so if you're doing things right, you'll be in the green for the most part. What does sometimes seem a little off are the comments that your instructor will pass - you might be told something along the lines of "great leg work" when you're not moving at all. It is a bit disconcerting, but perhaps the developers felt that they needed positive reinforcement to keep people going.

And go you will. A long Zumba work-out is a strenuous affair. The thing is that it is fun. You might be (literally) working your butt off, but the fun that the game delivers means you're not going to realise it until afterwards.

While it is little more than a guided dance routine, it doesn't need to be anything else. The fun to be had with Zumba Fitness is in the dance steps, not in achieving high scores. If you approach this one with the right attitude, it will prove to be very rewarding.

Yu-GI-Oh 5d Duel Transer Wii Video Game Review

Want to know a way to become a better player without leaving your home? If you happen to have a Nintendo Wii you can play the latest game available, Yu-GI-Oh: 5d Duel Transer.

You see I bought this game since I'm not able to go play with my friends all the time. This will allow me to stay focused on my target, which is to become a better player. Remember the more you play the better you get.

I've never played any of the previous video games, so I really didn't know what to expect from it. I was hoping it would be like a real duel. Guess what!!! It is!!! I'm really impressed with the game play. It does resemble an actual duel. Even up to how you get your cards for your deck.

You start off with a starter deck and some money, they call it LP. In order to get new cards you have to duel people and earn some points, which you can use to buy packs. The type of packs you can buy depends on who you have defeated in a duel. If you beat officer Trugg, you can purchase Duelist Genesis packs which you can pull his amazing syncro monster Goyo Guardian. Once you defeat Yusei you can pull his star synchro monster Stardust Dragon. The same goes for Jack Atlas with Red Dragon Archfiend.

The packs you can choose from range from Dark Beginnings all the way to the most recent Duel Terminal 4. I wish I could pull cards in real life like I do in the game. I say this because I pulled a Pot Of Duality in the first 5 packs I bought of Duelist Revolution. And you know that is one of the 5 top cards from Duelist Revolution.

The type of decks you play again in the beginning are not that great. But remember you don't have that many great cards in your deck to begin with. As you start to win more duels and get better cards, your opponents decks become better too. So the game keeps it a fair battle.

One of the best things I have learned from the game is the timing of certain cards. Meaning when can you play certain cards. It actually reminds you of either a quick spell or trap you can play at that moment. Having it pop up all the type can be a bit annoying after a while but you can change that setting. I have not since I really enjoy the feature. It has won me some duels due to me forgetting I could use a card to stop what they were doing. So it's a great learning tool too.

The only thing I disliked about the game is that it comes installed with the banned list prior to September 1. So you can play with Heavy Storm, Mind Control, Rescue Cat, etc... So you can't play all your spell and trap cards in fear of getting hit with the storm. Funny how one card actully changes how people play. I've seen the true power of heavy storm in the game.

Now if you have WiFi you can install the latest banned list. So it's not really an issue unless you don't have WiFi.

The game can help you become a better player because you can build any deck you want to test play with and against. Decks like Blackwing's, Lightsworn, GBs, gravekeepers or whatever you want to try. You can figure out their weaknesses and see what their big plays are, so you know how to stop them. You may also just wanna play them without having to buy them in real life. You can test them out to see if you like them before spending $100's of dollars on the key cards and hating it.

I almost forgot, you also get 3 cards. They are not the greatest cards in the world. But you can only get these cards when you purchase the game. The cards are Ape Fighter, Roaring Earth and Clsed Forest. They all deal with beast type monsters.

If you have a Wii and want to improve your game play and become a better player, you have to buy this game. It's a must have in your yu-gi-oh tool box.
