Zeebo Console

Zeebo announced the launch of the Zeebo console, intended for emerging markets worldwide, specifically BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India, and China, which represents 800 million people.

“In 2000 Bill Gates introduced the original Microsoft Xbox at GDC,” said Mike Yuen. “We’re honored here to release what we believe will be the fourth big console.” Zeebo is based on Qualcomm mobile technology, from the graphics chipset to the 3G wireless network, and has positioned itself as a piracy-free alternative to the larger, more expensive consoles.

In Brazil, for instance, where the console is launching first, a PS3 costs the equivalent of US$1,100 new, and the Wii costs US$1,000, because neither console has officially launched there — the only alternative for those consoles is piracy.

The Zeebo is launching at the equivalent of $199 USD, with games costing in the range of $5 to $15. Games are download-only across a 3G wireless network, which can also be used as a connectivity point for laptops in those homes without internet.

Yuen compared the video game market to the Matterhorn, in that many have died trying to climb it. “Lots of companies have tried to conquer the big three, and died doing it. So, within Qualcomm we’ve been thinking about how we can do this differently, and with cellular technology.”

Razer BlackWidow ups gaming experience

Here is the latest announcement of the Razer brands "BlackWidow", a mechanical gaming keyboard was specially engineered for gamers who want nothing less than superior tactile feedback and comfort while playing.



When it comes to computer gaming peripherals that are of high quality. Well, the latest device to join the fray would be the Razer BlackWidow. It is interesting to note that from Razer’s point of view, the majority of mechanical keyboards in the market today are standard mechanical keyboards rebadged as gaming keyboards that feature stiff keys that cause key actuation fatigue.

Basically, what Razer is saying is this – such keyboards will leave gamers off for the worse since it decreases gameplay performance instead of enhancing it. Razer’s BlackWidow offers something different, being built from ground up by gamers while boasting a uniquely tactile mechanical key architecture that provides each key on the keyboard with a crisp response and tactile feedback similar to a mouse click. When used in tandem with a unique key actuation point halfway through the full travel distance, the optimized mechanical key structure found in each of the Razer BlackWidow’s keys provide for greater precision and accuracy versus other traditional mechanical keyboards.

The keys on the Razer BlackWidow also boast one of the lightest actuation forces for all keyboards. They have been specially optimized by the Razer design team from readily available components, albeit going through rigorous quality standards from Razer to deliver a product of unparalleled quality. Apart from that, the Razer BlackWidow is also the only mechanical keyboard which comes with fully programmable keys with on-the-fly macro recording, not to mention five additional gaming keys to up the ante when it comes to gaming compatibility and performance. It will be out this September for $79.99.

Microsoft developing Age of Empires Online



At the Gamescon 2010 conference in Cologne, Germany, Microsoft Corp. announced the first series of Xbox LIVE games that would launching on Windows Phone 7 this holiday season, as well as the newest addition to their famed “Age of Empires” franchise, “Age of Empires Online.” They also announced a new version of their “Microsoft Flight Simulator” franchise, entitled “Microsoft Flight.”

Speakeasy, because it is a nerd at heart, is most interested in Age of Empires Online,” which is an extension of the historical strategy game “Age of Empires.” The premise of the game is for players to build their own civilizations and interact with other players and friends around the world. The first village that can be grown into an empire revolves around the bustling Greek culture (We realize saying that we like “Age of Empires Online” because of its (initial) Greek setting is akin to saying we like “Red Dead Redemption” because of the American West backdrop, but that’s how we feel.) Developed by Robot Entertainment, the game features a slew of both old and new features, which include cooperative multi-player quests, original story lines and of course, an ever-growing city that continues to prosper (or fail) even when the player is offline.

Though the Age of Empires Online site doesn’t seem to be up and about yet, you can sign up for the beta version of the game.

Mob Wars - Tips for Facebook Game


I love playing Mob Wars on Facebook because it’s one of those pointless games that you just can’t help but play every day at work :)

I love playing Mob Wars on Facebook because it’s one of those pointless games that you just can’t help but play every day at work :)

So here are my Facebook Mob Wars tips trick and cheats

First you should try to gain experience. Basically when you start playing Mob Wars on Facebook try to do jobs only - that way you will gain experience and make money.

Invite all of your friends to join your mob. Make sure you invite the maxium amount of people per day because the more people you invite the more money you will get. (this is not valid anymore)

Just do the jobs and let your energy regenerate and keep doing jobs. Once you have some money...say 60,000, you should try and buy a city. Go to city and buy an empty lot and a restaurant. If you do that you will get money by the hour.

The more cities you buy, the more money you make per hour. So keep doing jobs, and buying cities.

When you reach level 10 then I would suggest you start to fight. Go into you stockpile and look at the weapons and cars.

To get some good weapons you will need around 150.000.

Buy an Armed Range Rover for 90,000. Buy an assault rifle and some body armor. You can start to fight people and by doing so you will gain experience and sometimes money. So do jobs, build cities, fight, and INVITE.

Always attack people who have hotels and casinos because when you attack them and win you could potentially win around $70.000 per fight
