2029 Online: Races Introduction

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

In the world of 2029 Online (http://2029.igg.com ) , there are three races on the Helen Continent which is the main activity place for players, Humans, Dryad and Electronic Elves. Each race has its unique cultural, Character traits, profile and owns different technology and advantages. Also, different race is good for using different weapons. Here below is the introduction for each race from the game:

Humans
Humans were forced to leave their motherland behind which was destroyed in a massive explosion and then travelled to Helen Continent to carve out a new existence. As for technology, they have a blind faith in the fuel propulsion system. Compared with other races, Humans take a pretty reserved attitude towards developing high tech industries.

Humans have an average height of 1.6 to 1.8 meters. Their weight varies from 50KG to 80KG. They commonly wear fiber clothes or some sort of metal armor. Some Humans prefer to be distinct in their makeup or clothing by making changes to their hairstyle, wearing jewelry, painting tattoos or piercing their bodies.

Dryad
Dryads are powerful because they are ardent disciples of nature’s power. In Dryad’s society, biotechnology has been developed thoroughly, and their research into genetics has impacted on their manufacturing capabilities. They have devised a number of products that use genetics as their basis, using and altering natural substances to produce what they need.

Male Dryads are 2 to 2.5 meters tall. But they look smaller because they always hunch their bodies while walking. They weigh approximately 130kg. Female Dryads have an average height of 1.5 meters and weight around 55kg. The large difference in body size between male and female Dryads produces diversification in their physical appearances. Male Dryads have rubbery skin and are muscular green giants with curly hair, sturdy shoulders and big hands with solid fingers. Female Dryads are attractive and feminine. All Dryads like to wear tight fitting clothes made of metal, which represents longevity and will outlive many other forest residents.

Electronic Elves
Electronic Elves are conceited and gloomy and their disdainful attitude often engenders hostility from other races. However, their superior ability means that despite their frustration, other races do not often cause aggression. Electricity and magnetism defines Electronic Elves’ technology. They widely use electromagnetic power in daily life, production and even in battles with magnetic materials.

Electronic Elves are about 2 meters in height, but nobody knows their weight as they always float in air. Besides their slim figure and animal hair, a pair of huge ears is the biggest feature of their appearance. Since they seldom do sports, their legs are weak and thin. Electronic Elves love wearing robes and big earrings and also like flaunting the sound produced by the continuous collision of their robes and earrings when they move.

Black College Football Xperience: The Doug Williams Edition

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

All Of The Pageantry, History, Excitement And Hard-Hitting Action On PC And Consoles This Spring

Aspyr Media announced today that it has partnered with Nerjyzed (pronounced Energized) Entertainment, Inc., a privately held, African American-owned digital entertainment company to publish BCFx – The Doug Williams Edition. Arriving this spring to PC and consoles, BCFx – The Doug Williams Edition is a first-of-its-kind game that immerses players in the rich culture, history and pageantry of football game day on Historically Black College and University (HBCU) campuses. The game fuses realistic, bone-jarring football action created using the Unreal 3.0 engine with two unique new rhythm games – the interactive Halftime Show and Drum Line Challenge. In addition, a wealth of historical data has been integrated in the Legacy Museum and dozens of licensed tracks performed by college football’s most entertaining marching bands are included in the game’s Jukebox.

“The unique tradition and history of these great institutions is like no other in the world of sports, and they have contributed so much to the collegiate and professional game of football,” said Jacqueline S. Beauchamp, Co-Founder, Chairwoman, and CEO of Nerjyzed Entertainment, Inc. “We have gone to great lengths with BCFx to give fans the excitement, the action, the music, the halftime shows and history that make up a culture that so many people enjoy, and yet so many others aren’t really aware of, in order to have an experience that everyone can appreciate on video game consoles.”

Added Ted Staloch, Executive Vice President of Aspyr, “One of the great things about the videogame business is that we get to immerse players in these amazing, fun worlds. From the comfort of your living room you can now be a rock star, sports star, super hero and more. With BCFx – The Doug Williams Edition players are getting this fantastic, multi-faceted game experience where they get to be the hero on the gridiron, pound out beats on their drum set with the most electric marching bands on the planet and learn about a college sports culture that is vibrant, passionate and has had such great significance to the game of football as we know it today.”

BCFx – The Doug Williams Edition features teams from 36 HBCU schools – including each campus’ beautifully rendered stadium brimming with game day atmosphere – and offers players multiple modes of gridiron action. The Road to the Championship lets gamers pick a school and navigate a grueling schedule on their way to the BCFx Black College Football National Championship while The Classics Mode takes players through a season of legendary HBCU rivalries. In addition, quick play is offered for single and multi-player fun and Practice Mode is where players hone their skills.

BCFx – The Doug Williams Edition truly sets itself apart with its two interactive rhythm game modes. The Drum Line Challenge is a head-to-head Drum Line competition where the gamer performs along with band songs and drum line cadences using a controller or drum pad peripheral. Interactive Halftime Shows let players work the controller and participate in real-time with the renowned halftime performances and earn bonuses that will aid them in the second half of play.

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

In like a lamb and out like a lion, or vice-versa? Whether March finds you digging out from a late-winter blizzard or reeling in the spring thaw, the fun is both mild and wild at the Wii Shop Channel. Even the littlest lambs in your household can take part in a cool new family-friendly WiiWare game, while strategy-loving gamers will be roaring like lions as they battle evil foes in a classic Virtual Console title.

Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:

WiiWare™

Family & Friends Party (Gammick Entertainment, 1-8 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Have fun with all your friends and family as you take on some very exciting challenges. This is an interactive board game for as many as eight players of all ages. The goal is to be the first to complete a series of challenges. During each turn, a challenge will be played by one or two players per team depending on the type of challenge you’ve been given. (Other players on your team can still help and support you). There are six different “Single” challenges that must be played cooperatively by members of the same team. Family & Friends Party can also suggest “Versus” challenges, which must be played competitively by all teams at the same time.

Virtual Console™

Ogre Battle™: The March of the Black Queen™ (Super NES™, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): It’s up to you to defeat the Empire. It’s been nearly a quarter of a century since the Zetegenian Empire first conquered the Kingdoms of Zenobia with a wrath of fear and bloodshed. You are the leader of a band of rebels who’ve fought to preserve the last shred of honor in this desperate time of treachery. Manage the ranks of a full-blown rebel army, complete with hundreds of characters, magic items, weapons and mystical Tarot cards. You must succeed in ousting the evil usurpers-your fate, and that of the entire population, depends on it.
