There are a number of ways to get the scoop from industry insiders about how to break into their career including: joining professional associations, attending networking events, going on information interviews, or asking for advice on Internet message boards. However, if you are hoping that everyone who works in the industry will welcome you and be willing to help, you may be disappointed. Instead of getting fabulous career advice or job leads, you may be left feeling discouraged about the career and thinking you should consider doing something else with your life. Think again. If you are left feeling less than excited about a career after speaking with someone working in it, you are probably talking to the wrong person. Here are some reasons an industry expert may not be helpful to newcomers:
They want to feel special
Many successful people got where they are today because of their talent and effort. When asked how they did it, however, their story may sound like the one that parents used to tell about walking in the snow for miles every day to get to school and home again - uphill both ways. In other words, they make it sound much more difficult than it is. And while it's possible it really was difficult for someone else, you might have what it takes to achieve success in your chosen career more quickly. Few people will tell others that it's easy to break into their career or that almost anyone with determination can do it, even if that's true. By saying that it takes a rare ability or many years to succeed in a career, someone who is already working in that career validates themself and what they have achieved. Keep this in mind when speaking with someone working in the career, and don't say you hope to get a job like theirs right away. If you acknowledge their success and show respect for their achievements they may be more willing to assist you.
They are struggling
Someone who is struggling in a career may have spent years in the profession without achieving the kind of success they had hoped for. This type of person may try to "help" you by pointing out the "reality" of the profession you want to work in. They will tell you that at least 80% of those who enter their field will drop out or never achieve great success. But that's true for the vast majority of careers. In a recent issue of Harvard Magazine, it was reported that the average person will have six different careers in their lifetime, which means the average person will leave five careers. Why let that stop you from following your heart now? Another reality is that virtually every career - from acting to real estate - has only a few people who reach the top. It is insulting for someone to assume you will not be one of the successful ones. However, someone who has not made it to the top themself after years of struggle simply may not be able to see how a newcomer can. If you can overlook their discouraging attitude, this person may actually be able to help by filling you in on industry jargon, types of employers, and other career information. Just don't waste your time trying to convince them that you will succeed where they haven't.
They have a scarcity consciousness
People with a scarcity consciousness believe there will be less work for them if more people enter the profession. They see newcomers as potential competitors and will do what they can to discourage others from entering the field. The moderator of a message board for one career said in response to our recent posting that if everyone who wanted to enter the career actually did so, "it would stop being a fab job for everyone else as there would be very few who could ever make a living doing this." Fortunately, there are people in every industry who have not only achieved success, but are willing to help others do the same. As Mark Twain said, "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great."
I think this article makes you realize that ll the advice out there may not really be helpful.....especially if it is coming from a person who wants to climb the same ladder you are !

Get the pop up of vista calendar by single keystroke
Yes, that’s true and quite simple as well. You can get the popup windows vista calendar using the keyboard and by just assigning it a single keystroke.
Press Win+B, then Left, then Enter just to get a pop up of the calendar through keyboard. We know it’s a long procedure. Don’t worry, we have a shortcut for this as well. We can assign this to a single hotkey script (any one of them from F1 to F12).
AutoHotkey Script
To use this feature, you have to install AutoHotkey. What we will do is assign F4 key to send keystrokes instead of having them to do it manually. Now in order to do that, create a new file names calendar.ahk and then paste the following code in it.
#InstallKeybdHook
#Persistent
#HotkeyInterval,100
SetKeyDelay, -1
f4::
{
send, {lwin down}b{lwin up}
sleep 10
send, {left}
sleep 10
send, {enter}
Return
}
Now save the file and double click it to launch it.
Now By pressing F4 only you can get the pop up of calendar. If you want to close the script out, there's an icon in the system tray.

Text to Speech Software
After you've picked out a text that you'd like to listen to, it's time to convert that document to MP3.
Now, if you've picked out a particularly long document, such as the aforementioned Ulysses by James Joyce, you will most likely need to break the text up into separate documents to be made into separate audio files for manageable listening. You could either follow the natural structure of the book, separating the document into individual chapter text files, or do something more arbitrary, like breaking the document into separate files every 3050 pages.
Once you have your documents ready to go, you need a tool to convert them to MP3 format. A quick search of VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com) will turn up a variety of shareware and commercial titles for Windows that will convert text files to audio files. If you conduct the same search on the Mac OS X end of things, you'll find several freeware titles in the mix. This is because Mac OS X has integrated text-to-speech support built into the OS. Here's how you can convert text to speech under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Your end result will be an audio file that you can convert as described in the next section.
If you are on Windows, use a third-party text-to-audio program such as VoiceMX Studio (http://www.tanseon.com/products/voicemx.htm), load the text, and generate your output file (in the case of VoiceMX Studio, you'll get a .wav file). Next, convert the file to MP3 as described later in this hack, then take the resulting file and drop it in /PSP/MUSIC/ on your Memory Stick to listen.

Why buy audiobooks for your PSP when you can make your own?
You like books, but you don't particularly like the idea of reading your books on your PSP's screen. (If you do want to read books on your PSP, make sure you check out "Use Your PSP as an E-Book Reader" and "Create Your Own PSP E-Books".) You've been considering buying some audiobooks and listening to them on your PSP, but you'd rather spend those hard-earned dollars on games for your PSP. Why not simply make your own audiobooks for the PSP?
Don't worry. I'm not suggesting you sit down and read James Joyce's Ulysses out loud while recording it to MP3. Instead, just grab the text of Ulysses from Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/) for free and have your computer read the text to audio files.
You can get the text from any plain text file you have lying around, so don't be afraid to take that business report your boss wants you to review, convert it into plain text, and change it over to audio. Since the PSP is a recreational device, however, I am going to assume that you are looking for some actual reading entertainment.
If that's the case, a wide variety of options are readily available to you via the Internet. Both Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org) and the Electronic Text Center at the University of Virginia Library (http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/) freely offer a variety of literary titles that have fallen out of copyright and entered into the public domain. The text section of the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/details/texts) contains texts that have entered into the public domain and others that have been released under Creative Commons licenses or are free from any sort of copyright. The Creative Commons web site itself features a text section (http://creativecommons.org/text/) that regularly highlights texts that have been released under Creative Commons licenses.
In addition to these resources, you can easily copy and paste the text of any web document into a .txt file, or even use an online RSS feed reading tool like Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com) to display your daily dose of news items on one web page where you can select all, copy, and paste into a .txt file.

Additional Music Tips
If you are on a Mac running OS X 10.4, make sure you check out "Automate Mac OS X File Transfers" for instructions on writing an AppleScript to automate moving your tunes to your PSP. If you're savvy in other scripting languages, you may want to look over that hack, as well, for some ideas for your own automated script.
If you're running Version 2.0 of the firmware and you want to take full advantage of your networked music collection, you'll want to create a Music page that contains an index and links to all the files within your PSPMUSIC folder. This will allow for easy picking and choosing of songs you want to grab off of your network for on-the-go listening on your PSP. Why not build the same support system for a few videos, too?
Also, if you are homebrew savvy, make sure you check out some of the homebrew MP3 players available for the PSP.

Music Download to PSP
I'm about to provide you my easy and simple formula for setting up your best music on the PSP. You need just a couple of steps and it's a breeze if you the technique.
- First of all you have to obtain a CD ripper and while you're at it I'd unquestionably get a PSP video converter. A CD ripper allows you draw music (rip) of your CD's that you own currently. The PSP video converter will allow you rip and change video file to watch on the PSP...so you are able to see and hear to movies and songs, cool heh!
- Load up the CD and run the CD ripper choose the song you wish to play on your PSP and click the "extract and encode" to PSP.
- If you already own songs files on your personal computer then all you have to perform is click "add" from the CD ripper or PSP video converter.
- Be sure on all the steps above, you choose the "PSP" format.
- How to download or download your songs to PSP? Just plug in the PSP to the personal computer with the USB cable, and duplicate your MP3 file(s) into "H:PSPMUSIC" where H: would comparable the hard drive of the PSP.
That's it. It's really easy to play songs on the PSP!
PSP 3000 Vs PSP 2000 Slim
The freshly issued Sony PSP Slim 3000 has triggered quite a controversy amidst recent PSP users who bought the Sony PSP Slim 2000 model within the last a couple of months. It's not even been a entire year after Sony loosed the PSP Slim 2000, with its niftiest advantage being the capability to link up to a TVset with AV output. A lot of people are disputing that Sony's latest release to its handheld family line shouldn't even be regarded an upgrade of the present model. Let's go for a detailed investigation on the features of the PSP 3000.The 3000 was revealed at the gaming conference in Leipzig. The model has the perfect equal proportions as its brethren, the Slim 2000. Even so, there were a couple of enhancements. Sony put on the PSP 3000 a brand-new anti-glare display, which is thought to make using the PSP while outdoors a little more tolerable. This brand-new LCD display also provides a wider color pallette than the earlier units, which equals to a clearer, crisper image. Along with this brand-new display, Sony gave a integrated microphone to the 3000, which will permit a lot of individuals who own access to WLAN hotspots spread around a big city to employ the PSP as a phone-like gadget with the integrated Skype software system.
Along with those hardware enhancements, the Slim 3000 also provides a couple of aesthetical enhancements as well. The 'HOME' key no longer survives, as it has been substituted by a PSN key. It acts precisely similar as the earlier key, but rather gets the Playstation logo rather than the word 'HOME'. Also, the groomed aluminum ring which was sported on both the PSP Fat, a new call for earliest PSP, and the PSP Slim has been supplanted with a more refined and slenderer chrome ring. The boundaries of the PSP 3000 have also been polished a little .
On the whole, if you are already a happy PSP 2000 Slim user, you might prefer to skip over this enhancement as the anti-glare LCD screen is only the major enhancement if you find yourself using it frequently while outdoors. However, if you are anticipating buy a PSP, the 3000 is a good choice.
Should you upgrade to PSP 3000?
The Sony PSP 3000 is Sony's latest progress in mobile gaming. The 3000 is for sure an enhancement from earlier PSP types. Immediately you notice that the color seems crisper and clearer. Occasionally in earlier types, when you entered a low-light location inside the game it got difficult to notice and move your way around inside the game. The sony PSP 3000 also boasts Skype, and integral mike to further enhance the PSP in internet gaming. The PSP also has an excellent game list with a lot of of the popular titles from the earlier playstation PSX games and also brand-new titles. A lot of of these titles also provide artwork that are brilliant to titles ready for the Nintendo DS.Although the 3000 is unquestionably a progress in the proper direction, that doesn't imply that the system is without flaws. Within graphical extreme actions while gaming, the system frequently shows scan lines and sometimes has shown a few hiccup while it processes what is passing on. The LCD screen also has troubles of its own. If you can actually polish off every of the fingerprints the LCD screen seems to draw in, you then need to be concerned about the glare. I do not believe anyone is certain why Sony Is not utilizing glare resistant displays with their PSP's, as it has been one of the largest complaints during the PSP production.
Finally, if you have a PSP already, it is likely not meriting the upgrade. If you're thinking purchasing a PSP, the 3000 is the great model presently for sale.
Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! - PSP Game Review
SCORE: 74Starring an adorable demon penguin called Prinny (the same character in Disgaea series). Prinny 2 put you on the boots of a nervous hero who has the task of regaining a stolen panties. His adventure is challenging filled with a few tragic, terrible deaths.
The gameplay is a platforming, with Prinny running from one stage to another, and face a difficult boss as a conclusion. He can slash stuff and dash with s few knives while performing some "hip pound" moves, to stun his opponents.
If you want your ass get kicked, Prinny 2 is for you. This game is a platforming equivalent to the serious strategy game you find in Disgaea and it will make really busy. Unfortunately, frequent deaths can make gaming experience a little tedious at times. But if you love extreme challenges, it would be fine. But for a mere mortals like us perhaps a more forgiving 'baby mode' is already adequate.
A Space Shooter For 2 Bucks! PSP Game Review
SCORE: 83With so many games for PSP today, you can't buy a game from the name alone. For example, a name like "Halo" won't give you enough clue on what you'll get. But now with a name like A Space Shooter For 2 Bucks!, you can't help to get curious.
It is only 54 Mb in size to download to your Playstation Mini, but it offers a plethora of quality along with good story-line. The game is full with a comical and very light-hearted affair that puts a smile on your face.
This game is a really complete package. The experience you'll get is worthwhile, challenging, lengthy and fun. The fact that it is only $2, a dirt cheap offering for such an awesome title. If you're looking for things that can eradicate your boredom. don't look much further. The answer is here!
Angry Birds- PSP Game Review
SCORE: 72Angry Bird is an exciting game, which promises you bursts of quick actions. The core of the game is easy to understand, destroy structures and evil pigs in it using a slingshot. The projectile? Of course, birds! It's all about, point, shoot, obliterate things and have fun.
Unfortunately, visually, the game is somewhat barren, not much going on the screen, although you can get sharp graphics and solid framerate as result. Sometimes, when those birds hit the structure, you'll get stutter and an overall slowdown. The game is sold for $3.99, significantly more expensive than the iPhone version, that is available for $.99 and it has more levels that the PSP version.
There is no denying this game is really exciting, but should have smoother action, better price and sharper visuals to ensure more polished results.

| 1. first power off your iPod |  |
2. Hold the iPod flat, with its face up, and insert the blade of the round-handled tool (green tool as shown in the figure)between the metal back and the acrylic lip of the iPod, a few centimeters from the top right side of the iPod, this will create space to insert another tool |  |
| 3. now Insert the other tool and rotate it as inserted round the edge of the iPod so this will separate metal back and upper body. NOTE: iPod may not separate easily. Keep trying |  |
| 4. flip the iPod over so the metal back is face up. 5. remove the back cover. 6. Now battery is connected by 3 wire which are soldered to the ipod. Cut the wires(by knife or scissors) connecting the old battery to the iPod. Make the cut closer to the battery. 7. and remove the old battery |  |
NOTE: now you need to connect new battery with ipod. That means you need to connect three wires (most probably color of white, orange and black color wire) of new battery with three wire to ipod. You need to strip off the wire use stripper and be careful do not cut the cable. For newbie – you strip some wire and twist them together. I feel that for most people, the stripping-and-twisting method is less risky than using a soldering iron. While twisting the cable just match the same colour of cable and twist them. Put a bit of ordinary scotch tape around each pair as shown in the picture. Also make sure all exposed wire is covered with scotch tape. While other way of connecting three cable is soldering. If you have the right tools and is comfortable soldering very small electronic parts. You can try soldering. | |

This help to solve your problem for how to import export music from itune / computer to an ipod or how do you download transfer music to an ipod. But if you want to transfer music from ipod to computer. Here is the way how to Transfer Music from Ipod to Computer.
Most common problem for new ipod user is how to put music onto ipod. So I created this ipod tips to solve this problem. Windows media player is not able to upload songs to ipod. You must use Apple iTunes to get music onto your iPod. Windows Media Player can see the iPod as a hard disk. But not able to copy upload music from pc to ipod.
The steps to put music onto an Apple iPod with itune.
When you plug ipod to your pc first time through USB, you might get this pop up message. If you have already installed itune than go to step 1 down this page.
You need to restart your computer to install ipod and then the next time you start up, your iPod will not generate any messages of this nature.
You need to install itune on your computer if you have not installed itune. You can simply go to apple.com/itunes to download the latest version. It also comes with ipod CD.
The next step is to launch the iTunes program. And it will recognize the ipod that you have plugged in
It shows one message to give name to ipod, You can stick with the default name for your device or give name to ipod.
I also uncheck "automatically update music" because I like to control what happens to my iPod manually.
When you're done with this configuration step, click "Next" :
register your iPod, or just click "Finish".
Step 1
Now, finally, you can see iTunes and also your ipod inside your itune:
Click on whatever name you've given to your own iPod, and you'll see your music list, which is completely blank:
Now click on the "Library" link on the left column and you'll see what albums or music you’ve copied into your iTunes library. Or click on the "Browse" button on the top right (it looks like an all-seeing eye) and a new panel will show up with lists of songs, artists and albums.
Now select the song you want to put on to your ipod. then dragging and dropping that onto the name of the iPod on the left side panel of your itune. Now your song are copied to ipod.
Now you can eject your iPod and start enjoying the music player.
What motivates someone to buy something?
If you are in Sales then that is something you ask yours self everyday.
Yes, you are trained by your company and are a real good talker.
However traditional sales people force feed their own reasons and do not focus on uncovering what the prospect is trying to overcome, improve or eliminate by buying sooner, rather than later. Prospects really do not want to think about anything, they actually want time to "compare". Compare your features and benefits with that of their current vendor or other competitors trying to get in on that business.
Quite often in the eyes of the prospect your features and benefits are not much different from their current vendor or others competing in your field. Hence price becomes a front end and back end obstacle as they focus on YOUR reasons (features and benefits), not their problems and negative effects that are already costing them time, energy and money by not using your product or service.
So the simple trick to to LISTEN first and reiterate what the customer just said. Listen and then suggest ways to make LIFE EASIER for that particular problem !
You will be the best sales person. Don't forget to close the sale ! i.e Asking for the Money and their commitment to buy.

Using PSP as MP3 Player
Once you have your music on your PSP, it's time to listen. Here's a quick overview of the PSP's controls and functionality as an MP3 player.
To keep your music organized into albums, all you need to do is keep a group of audio files in a single folder by the name of the album placed within /PSP/MUSIC/ on your Memory Stick. The preview image associated with the Album folder will be taken from the image associated with the first file in the list of tracks contained within the folder.
Unfortunately, the PSP can only see folders one level deep here, so you cannot do things like create a folder called The Beatles, which you then fill with separate folders for each of The Beatles' albums. So, if you want to categorize by artist, make sure you keep all the song files within that main artist folder, rather than embedding folders within folders.
Navigate to Music Memory Stick and hit the X button to see a list of all the songs and albums located inside your /PSP/MUSIC/ folder. The folders will be listed alphabetically, followed by an alphabetical listing of any lone files in this root Music folder. Select the album you want to listen to and hit the X button.
A list of songs will appear, as you scroll through the different songs, you will notice that certain bits of metadata associated with the song files will be displayed, including the name of the song, the artist, and any album artwork associated with the song file. As with all the other files on your PSP, if you select one of the tracks and hit the Triangle button, a menu will appear on the right side of the screen with options for Play, Delete, or Information. If you select Information and hit the X button, the full list of all metadata associated with the track will be displayed, including the title, artist, album, genre, size, date and time it was updated, Length, Sampling Frequency, and Codec at which the track was compressed.
Otherwise, simply hit the X button to play the song.
Once the song is playing, you have a variety of options. If you hit the Triangle button while the song is playing, the control panel will open, displaying all the available controls.
If you are running a previous version of the firmware, some of the controls discussed in this section will not be available to you, although many of them will be identical.
The controls available in the control panel of Version 2.0 of the firmware are Previous Group, Next Group, Previous Track, Next Track, Fast Reverse, Fast Forward, Play, Pause, Stop, Group Mode, A-B Repeat, Play Mode, Clear, Display, and Help. Selecting the Display option adds an overlay along the top of the screen with the name of the track in the upper-left corner and the number of the track next to how many tracks are in this group in the upper-right corner of the screen. Selecting the Help option (the question mark) will display the basic Music Help screen . This screen shows you all the basic controls on the PSP for navigating through your songs. The L trigger goes to the previous track or the beginning of the current track, the R trigger goes to the next track, the O button stops play, the X button plays, the Start button either plays or pauses the track, and the left and right buttons on the directional keypad rewind or fast forward the track.
The Group controls all have to do with different albums or folders you have placed inside /PSP/MUSIC/. A-B Mode lets you select first an A point in a track and then a B point in the track, which will continue looping until you choose Clear. The Play Mode control lets you choose either Repeat One, Repeat All, Shuffle, or Repeat Shuffle, and if you toggle the Group mode selection, all of these settings (with the exception of Repeat One) will use all the files in your MUSIC folder rather than just the songs in the current album folder. The other options available in the control panel are mostly self-explanatory.

The other options available in the control panel are mostly self-explanatory.
Firmware Version 2.0 and Music Playing
If you are running a PSP with Version 2.0 of the firmware, then you can download music from the Internet directly to your PSP's Memory Stick. This is particularly useful for grabbing new music and podcasts from various web sites while you're on the go and connected to a wireless network.
To do this, simply launch the web browser by navigating to Network Browser on your PSP, and hit the X button. After your browser launches, navigate to a page that contains links to audio files in a PSP-compatible format. Unfortunately, the PSP cannot handle compressed files, BitTorrent, or WMA (Microsoft with DRM format)unless you are running Version 2.6 firmware or laterso the files will need to be in uncompressed and unprotected MP3 or AAC format. When you click on the link to the corresponding audio file, an overlay screen will pop up asking whether you want to download the linked file. Hit the X button, as shown in.
If, for some reason, the PSP doesn't recognize the file type and tries to open the file as a website, cancel the loading of the page (hit the Triangle button and then select Cancel) and then go back to the original page (by hitting the L trigger). This time, place your cursor over the linked file, but instead of hitting the X button, hit the Triangle button and navigate to File, then hit the X button. A menu will pop up. Select Save Link Target from this menu and hit the X button.
Another overlay will appear asking for confirmation of the location where you'd like to save the file and the name you would like to give the file. If the location did not default to /PSP/MUSIC/, select that field, and hit the X button to select this folder (or a subfolder inside the MUSIC folder). Feel free to change the name of the file to something you will recognize. Just remember to keep the proper extension at the end of the file. If the file you are downloading is an AAC file, go ahead and change the extension on the file to .MP4 so that your PSP will recognize it.
After downloading the files, hit the Home button on your PSP to exit out of the browser. If you hit the button by mistake, you can either hit it again or hit the X button to return to the browser. Navigate to Music, select Memory Stick, and hit the X button. You should see your freshly downloaded audio files in the list of available tracks.
This method of grabbing songs can be particularly useful for serving up songs from your networked music collection on your home network. All you need to do is set up a networked folder containing any music files you would like to have ready for your PSP, then direct your PSP's web browser to this folder. For example, if your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.4 on your local network, and you have a folder called PSPMUSIC that you have set up to be available to other computers on your network, you can launch the PSP's web browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.4/PSPMUSIC/nameofthesongyouwant.mp3 to download that song file. Consider building a music index page that links to all these files.
If you've installed Version 2.6 of the firmware, you now have an option called RSS Channel under Network. Now any RSS 2.0 feed containing embedded MP3s can be subscribed to through the PSP's browser, and all the songs on that feed can be streamed to your PSP over a live Internet connection through the RSS browser interface.
To do this, simply launch the web browser by navigating to Network Browser on your PSP, and hit the X button. After your browser launches, navigate to a page that contains links to audio files in a PSP-compatible format. Unfortunately, the PSP cannot handle compressed files, BitTorrent, or WMA (Microsoft with DRM format)unless you are running Version 2.6 firmware or laterso the files will need to be in uncompressed and unprotected MP3 or AAC format.

2 Very Important Tips For Starting A Business in Your Home
For more and more people, home is not only where the family is - it's where the business is! I have ben doing business for the past 12 years from home and I love the flexibility and convenience. During the last 20 years, large numbers of people have chosen to market their skills and talents from home. Recent studies estimate that as many as 20 percent of new small business enterprises are operated out of the home, and this trend is growing. Many home-based businesses are even started on a part-time basis and then expand into full-time businesses as the market for the business develops and grows.
Why a home based business?
People are attracted to home based businesses for many different reasons.
They include:
- Experiencing the personal satisfaction of making their own decisions
- Expressing their own ideas and being their own boss.
- First have a mission statement or vision for your business.
- Make a business plan. Every business should have a business plan, including a home-based business.
The best place to get started with that is the Small Business Website.

They have detailed instructions on how to get started in your state. With references to laws, policies and procedures.

Zombie Tycoon PSP Game Review
SCORE: 58The content of Zombie Tycoon is unquestionably an attracting one. As an ambitious, demented scientist with no view in morality, you command a horde of zombies while attempting to control the whole world with only your shambling, groaning legions. As a huge fan of zombie films, I at first believed Zombie Tycoon, as an exciting, real-time game title. However, Zombie Tycoon does not come close to this expectations. Rather, the gameplay gives you with a mediocre gaming experience that has a few baffling design defects.
Zombie Tycoon is an easy 55 MB download. The earliest issue you will get with it, though, comes up before you have even queued up for downloading the game itself. Gamers curious in buying the freshly introduced Zombie Tycoon may notice that the cost is a surprising $7.99. However, should be appropriate for such a small program. As you can finish the 50% of Zombie Tycoon in just a couple of hours. Zombie Tycoon has an exciting aesthetic, a lot of details and a realistic control outline. However the interface has complex issues. A very sensitive camera, discouraging AI and a barbarous lack of checkpoints (play for 15 minutes, make a single small slip and start all over again) make this game more of a baffling frustration instead of a refreshing RTS.

SCORE: 52The risk in delivering a title from a full-size console to a handheld game is that important attributes can get lost quickly. A few capabilities can be restricted, while other features are modified or entirely removed to fit inside less powerful systems. The most crucial matter is: how do these modifications influence the whole gameplay? In Army of Two: The 40th Day, those changes aren't for the better. Literally giving up the franchise's cooperative focus, the light-weight variant deteriorates into an inferior action game.
The 40th Day's setting is in Shanghai as in a number of days as Salem and Rios run missions in their own private soldierly company, TransWorld Operations. These people accept a quick agreement for an immense payday and do not expect much trouble in achieving their jobs. As they complete their mission, Shanghai is attacked. Rios and Salem must stay alive to find out who is behind this. The PSP edition adopts the console story faithfully and even changes much of the talks. Even so, the sense of pandemonium is totally missing on the little display; the roads appear too cramped and the devastation you see looks insignificant. Consequently, it does not feel like the whole city is crashing down all around you, and there is no a torrential adrenaline rush after outliving the combats.
Sloppy action episodes, brain-dead AI and narrower game capabilities absolutely throttle the ported Army of Two: The 40th day. Although the title does boast morality episodes, acceptable talks and a few terrains to go through, the execution is so elementary and unvaried that the entertainment is entirely nonexistent. It's well worth some exploring, even so spare yourself – and your friends – from the mediocre experiences.
Mytran Wars PSP Game Review
SCORE: 56PSP strategy genre is frequently took root in the fantasy culture, particularly when it comes to those strategy-RPG hybrid. With dragons, mages and knights dominating in this genre, and a gun-toting mech could be thought as freaky. This is a kind of typical, however, in Mytran Wars, a relatively unknown game of Sony PSP. In the title, you play one of two playable races and you wage a fierce war on grid based environment with a wide range of sophisticated armaments and extraterrestrial technologies. It might seem like a wonderful time, however Mytran Wars sustains from various problems, both technical and mechanical, which can prevent the game from being a little more than a second-rate affair.
Mytran Wars starts with a company, known as the Kondor Corporation and it wages an space invasion to a cryptic planet of Pythar. An intelligent youthful Eli and his lady friend/guard Rachel are onboard one of the initial spacecraft to Pythar with the purpose of prospecting the Pythar for valuable resources. The mech leader for the expedition, Loki, isn't as kid-glove as our planet hopping pair and stays faithful only to the chairman of Kondor Corporation: Alexander Wolfe
Mytran Wars gives you a classic strategy experiences with a lot of tech trees, complex mission objectives and an exciting premise, however this game suffers from awkward processes, cumbersome unit handling and the art/literary genre that seems like an amateurish feat. Put differently: buyer beware!
