Gangstar Rio : City of Saints Release Date & Preview [PIC]
After Los Angeles and Miami, installs the new Gameloft Gangstar episode in Rio de Janeiro. The third component of the GTA clone retains the same principle in Rio Gangstar: City of Saints, you play as a gang member, through the city to avenge the murder of his girlfriend. A scenario that will not win the Oscar, but is effective.

The city, in fact, is fully modeled in 3D, as are also some buildings (nightclub, police, etc.)..Those familiar with previous games will find themselves on familiar ground, with an extra bit of realism that is welcome. The Brazilian city was designed according to the spirit of Rio, and is more alive than were LA or Miami previous episodes: there are more characters, vehicles, animations here and there, and music (some pieces of Brazilian groups) participates in the atmosphere.
Gangstar Rio: City of Saints leverages the power of the iPhone 4, iPhone and iPad 4S 2 to provide better graphics, but the older devices will run without too much degradation (system progressive loading). We thus tested an iPad 2 and iPod touch 3G with the same fluidity older iPod touch 3G support textures of the most far more gradually, a good compromise that has already proven itself with the adaptation of iOS Driver.
The lifetime of the game is good enough: in addition to 23 missions with new weapons and new vehicles, which multiply the possibilities. If the new weapons are rather anecdotal (a football explosive and a machete), new vehicles are more dramatic: a helicopter and a tank. The game principle is densified by the addition of a system of experience points that can change the profile of the main character.
The scenarios are very traditional and do not revolutionize the genre, but are effective.There are the traditional missions of assassination, intimidation, the chase, the Ports of case against the background of revenge. Simple, sometimes cheesy, but the successful implementation and the card very wide for a game iOS can not get bored.
In terms of handling, again, the players of the two previous games will find their children.The control interface remains largely the same: in the upper left map, weapon selected in the top right, virtual joystick in the lower left, various controls (riding in a car, jumping, etc..) Bottom right. However, it has become more lightweight, and lost his next cartoon from previous episodes: less intrusive, it leaves more room in the game only real problem, the control of the lightest vehicles and / or faster, or rather their non- -control. A black dot that sometimes taints the pleasure of play
Fans of the series so Gangstar end up a classic with this third installment, which does not reinvent the genre but brings some new features that allow you to have a good time. The game is well done, well thought out controls, and if the scenario is classic, life is pretty good and the game experience dense. In short, a good game in the genre.
Gangstar Rio: City of Saints will be available in the coming days.
Galaxy Nexus Officially Released
Wait no more. Google and Samsung have just made the long-awaited Galaxy Nexus (not longer theNexus Prime, as we’d once heard) official here in Hong Kong, and the specifications are downright drool-worthy. Those with bantam hands need not apply, as this 4.65-inch behemoth is bound to bring back talk of Sidetalkin’. Naturally, Ice Cream Sandwich is onboard, with Google finally revealing the version number as 4.0. Other specs include an HD Super AMOLED display (1,280 x 720), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 5 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash), a 1.3 megapixel front-facing cam, 1080p video recording and playback, a newfangled panorama mode, a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 3.0. You’ll also find USB 2.0, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, an embedded NFC module, accelerometer, compass, gyro, proximity sensor and even a barometer — yeah, a barometer. Finishing things out, there’s 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage space and a 1,750mAh battery. As for radios? There’s an HSPA+ model on tap, while an LTE version will “be available depending on region.” There’s nary a mention of carrier in the press release we’re holding, but based on earlier leaks, a 4G build for Verizon Wireless seems a lock.

Focusing on Ice Cream Sandwich for a tick, Android 4.0 will bring “an entirely new look and feel to Android,” boasting a redesigned user interface, bolstered multitasking / notifications, full-on NFC support and a new People app, which enables users to browse friends, family and coworkers’ photos whilst peeking their status updates from Google+. ICS also introduces Face Unlock, which taps into facial recognition protocols in order to unlock your handset. And then there’s Android Beam, an NFC-based technology that allows you to “quickly share webpages, apps and YouTube videos by simply tapping two phones together.” According to Goog, the “lock screen, home screen, phone app and everything in between has been rethought and redesigned,” and this is quite the beastly phone to launch with. Pics and a link to register for more info await you below, and PR per usual is after the break.
