StarCraft II is finally out after 12 long year since the reliece of the first game. I plan on geting the game today but I have been reaserching the reviews latly. So far what I hear is good but there are e few things i found disterbing.

The The gameplay doesnt seeme to get much complaints form users and reviewiers. It sticks to the tradiciona style of the old starcraft and warcraft design and thats part of what makes it great. The special effects seeme to be prety good form the trailers and demos that I have seen.

The game seemes to be very story drivin. This release is onely the firt of three chapters in the game. each shapter wil be relieced one at a time unlike its predisesor which had all 3 chapters in one game. I almost feel like we the consumers is geting riped off by deviding the three thapters into 3 different games. All that depends on how estensive each chapter is. Im not faulting the company for trying to keep hype going for years to come but if Im only geting 1/3rd of a game for $60 then I would be estremely upset.

Oking now im going to move on to the disterbing part but first I want to rant about software companies in genera. It seeme to me that these days software companies want to push products out that practilly crack dwon on paying customers in efforts to provent the small band of thieves that call themselvs pirates. Can anyone tell me if ther had ever been an instant where a company had colapsed due soly to the awe inspireing distructive force of softwre pirating? I dont think so. ho sere is what i find messed up about the new game.

Battle.net is now a cloud system . I hate cloud systems. the first cloud game I play was the late AVE. even though the game worked with out loging on to the cloud I wasnt able to save my game to my pc.You need the cloud to store your informaton. It mekes me feel liek the game I purchased isnt even mine. If you wan to argue property rights then maybe they should jsut stop selling games and rent them for about $10.00 a month over the cloud system. Other than that if I payed a one time purchase price and take the coppy to my home then I consider it to be mine in spite of what any coppyright law might say thus all saved informationg should stay on my computer.

No Lan support. the company doesnt want pirates having the full experience of the game with out the cloud system. But what about the rest of us playing customers? We are force to use the internet for multiplayer action.

RealID! over the Iternet! Are they crazy? do you know how easy it is to search some one with just their first and last name? do i have to tell you how this can serously back fire? What if some one posted a comment in a forum, then that comment gets flamed by some anoying jerk who was only lookin to start trouble. Ungnown to the jerk the auther of the comment has some kine of mental disorder and easily forgets wright form wrong, uses the jerks information to track hem down comits murder. The RealID feature is opt-in only but it should be completly removed.

Samsung Is in the game

The most talked about and reviewed variant of the Samsung Galaxy S phones is the Vibrant form T-mobile. While sticking to the original Galaxy S design this variant has become the most wanted smart phone on the market and its for a good reason. The phone is a Multimedia powerhouse. With the built in exclusive features you will be able to entertains your self for as long as the battery lasts. The design is aesthetically attractive. It is thin and sleek making you want to buy it just based on how it looks. Depending on where you shop the price is rapidly dropping on this device.

One thing that almost made me hate the phone was the fact the it didn't come with a flash.Instead the phone comes with the ability to amplify light with a function call night node. I don't yet own the phone so I'm not sure about how it really function but the reviews form Engadget.com seemed pretty impressive.

The phone comes exclusive with the Sims 3. If you haven't herd of this game then I would definitely recommend playing it. The Sims is like a simulation of life it self. You start by customizing your character to your specifications, looks, skills and personality. The character is placed into a home where you life your life. you can make friends with in-game character get a job, get married, start a family, and redesign your home. The game is highly addictive interactive.

Rumor has it that the phone will be compatible to the new HSDPA+ data networks and will get an upgrade to activate that feature when the system is in more locations. T-mobile claims that the HSDPA+ network will be able to provide speeds of up to 21Mb/second. Note that 1Mb (Mega bit) is 1/8Th of 1MB (Mega Byte), 1/8Th is = to .125 so to translate 21Mb/ second is = 2.625MB/second.

New rugged Smartphone.

Normally i would never consider a cell phone that's built to be rugged. they usually look bulky, unattractive and only come with the most basic features. Motorola's new i1 Smart phone from Sprint may have changed my perception. This new phone comes with military precision specifications for durability plus the features of a Smartphone according to the review from PhoneArena.com.

The phone looks fairly attractive and streamlined according to the photos I have seen. It seemed to be very similar to the Motorola Cliq XT for T-mobile as far as dimensions are concerned. As a Cliq XT owner I would say that if it is similar then this phone is for people who want something that's just above the basics but it is not for power user.

I don't work in any harsh environment that would require me to purchase a phone that wont break but on the other hand i do break things every easily. I have broken previous phones, watches, and various devices around my home. With my current phone i took extra precautions to protect the device with a case holder and a screen protector but still I ended up denting it by dropping the phone on asphalt because I missed when attempted to put it in the holder. I still frequently drop the phone around the house but fortunately i have carpet. I would recommend this phone to anybody out there that's as clumsy as I am.



Here is a way to find some great mobile phone offers

Welcome

Welcome to Gadget Gage.


A little about my self:



My name is Isaac. I have been working with consumer electronics for over 10 years. I started as a commission sales employee in a department store and moved on to being a representative for vendors such as HP and T-mobile. I have been writing blogs on what I know since January 2010. I like to keep my self up to date on the latest technology involving TV's computers and cell phones.

I like subjects that deal with science such as chemistry and psychology. Psychology is new to me and though I find it to be very tedious there are some interesting things that can be explained about how people behave. Chemistry is my favorite science. Learning about the atom can open the door to just about anything in this world.
I currently work as a freelance writer for a web site company called demand studios. they post instructional "How To" content on the net either as videos or web pages. Writing is definitely not my strong point but I seem to be getting by.

The reason for creating these blog is to continue doing what i enjoy and that's researching and talking about technology. Normally I focus on PC technology. Every PC I ever had was self built to what I like. This isn't a cheaper way to buy a PC as some people might think.

Lately I have been shifting over to mobile phone technology. Mobile phones are far more interesting now they they where about five years ago. they are not just phones anymore. they are pocket size gadgets and entertainment centers. even some of the basic phones may have some PDA features installed.



I guess thats about it. Thanks you for reading.
