As gameplay concerns, Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer promises to revolutionize the genre completely. Unlike other adventures in the third person, you move the legs of the character with one of the triggers, with the thumb left free to manage the movements of the head.

This will increase the planned interaction factor, since the foreign characters may indicate the stage just watching, a system which appears to go far in everything related to the interaction.

With regard to the most general characteristics of the game, we can say that this is an action adventure with dye film inherited Fahrenheit. This means that no direct combat against other characters, but the action scenes are focused from different angles, and can directly control the character at certain times, while others must share in the classic events in real time.

Unlike what happened in Fahrenheit, it now appears that these events are integrated into the flow of the adventure of a more natural, with its decisive resolution in many cases. But if we fail to overcome any difficulties should not worry too much, because every action has a consequence, with the death of a hero only one.

Each character is just an actor in the history of Heavy Rain can control at least four throughout the adventure. It is estimated that one of the checks are a father and a journalist, all related in some way with a murderer.

At the moment the argument remains locked in the offices of Quantum, and only some premises that have indicated they will be in the presence of a thriller with high doses of suspense. Unlike what happened to Fahrenheit, this time there is no paranormal events, but horrific events but much more realistic.

Still no final release date for Heavy Rain, but it appears that the end of the year of PlayStation 3 users will get this more than promising game, which is gradually becoming one of the strongholds for Sony rioja the remainder of 2009.

Anything that has to do or to indicate the title God of War III or its acronym (Gow) warms us and focus all our attention, and the emergence of a new art beast game does less to assuage our longing for this title .

The image you can see the beginning of this story is the artist Kim Cecil, and it is a new creature that appears in the much-anticipated game. To be more specific, is a titan of fire of a truly colossal size, the small silhouette of Kratos in the upper right corner serves to give the notion of scale of this new enemy.

Also striking is an analysis that indicates that God of War III could become the title impusle once and for all sales of PlayStation 3. This is because apparently there are more people doing the pre-purchase the game, which hold the console from Sony. Approximately one in three people who buy the game, not in possession of a PS3.

For others likely (as the statistics show) that many people want to buy a PlayStation 3 but are expecting one or two cuts in the price of the console, although it is said that Sony will not happen in some months we could be seeing.

Beyond all, is a reality that God of War III will become without doubt one of the titles of the year I want ya!

The software giant Microsoft has announced it is testing a new search engine, dubbed Kumo and in the future could replace Live Search, whose use is much lower than that of Google.

In a message broadcast on the ‘blog’ Live Search, its head, Mike Nichols, says that Kumo is a phase of internal testing and explains why the book: “There are many questions that have not opened this test to the public. But this kind of internal testing at Microsoft is relatively trivial and is something we do with many of our products before making them public. ”

The ‘blog’ on Microsoft releases first image of Kumo, which are functions to rank search results by gender (pictures, videos, etc.) and a space reserved for commercial links. Kumo is based on techniques for semantic search, what you want to interpret the web based on the questions and the words he employs. The traditional engines are limited to adding the words used in the search.

Microsoft confirmed that it could replace Kumo Live Search, as noted uin internal report Satya Nadella, vice president of U.S. group, distributed in many pages’ web ‘. This reflects the purpose of the colossus of the ‘software’ to compete in the field of engines, which now has only 8.5% of U.S. market, behind Yahoo (21%) and Google (63%).

In that report, Nadella said that aim to create a tool that not only help to find, but to do chores. ” Under the guidance of Microsoft, users will not often find what they seek, and in half the cases, they spend an average of 20 minutes trying to find it. Yet to decide whether Kumo would be the final name of the browser, should finally replace Live Search.
