OddWorld Games: Stranger’s Wrath

One of the greatest game on the planet.

Oddworld Strangers Wrath is one of those games that comes along that is so unique and fresh in its idea and execution that it demands to be played by everyone. There are two main platform PC and Xbox but it’s a shame that its not compatible with the Wii but who knows yet.

In the latest and hopefully not last game from the geniuses at Oddworld Inhabitants you play as stranger, a Clint Eastwood-esqu horse/human creature who is a bounty hunter. Your motives for this are unclear and you spend the majority of the game trying to find out what he needs the money for.

The presentation in this game is excellent. The story, which is a western/mystery epic hybrid is great from start to finish. The cut scenes are intriguing and keep you engaged and enamoured in the story of the mysterious Stranger.

The audio is also nicely done. The dialogue keeps the humorous signature feel from past Oddworld games and really keeps the strange world of Oddworld intact, even though this is a game completely separate from the past ones. The music also also a nice mix of classic western with more epic orchestral undertones.

The graphics a great throwback to the other Oddworld games while adding to it with the western theme that encompasses most aspects of the game.

The gameplay is unlike anything before. Its a mix of first person and third person action with the innovative twist being the "live ammo". All the ammo you use for your crossbow must be collected off the floor or from the brush and trees because it is living. You shoot everything from wise-cracking chipmunks to toxic skunks; each which have their own unique effect that can help in creating different strategies to capture your bounty. Since capturing an outlaw alive nets more money than dead , finding ways to take them alive becomes a challenge depending uniquely on the persons personal traits and what your have in your arsenal. The gameplay changes halfway through the game which keeps things fresh and changes the purpose of the story greatly; changing the game from a western to an epic journey.

This game has something to offer that you will not find anywhere else and it needs to be experienced. Go do yourself a favour and enjoy one of the greatest games to come out on the xbox.

The Internet Oracle

Who has ever wondered what or who was the Oracle was or is!!!!

Well if you want to know, there are ways to find him, it may sound like a "matrix" fictional torment but there is an Internet ORACLE in this realm. Here’s a ready made top search for Internet Oracle that you can find out more information on and so other fella hackers can stay safe with the information given and not exploited, we can all rest assure that no encrypted data is be exploded and hints and tips will be given but I’m sorry chums you have to do some work too!!

The Oracle is also known as the Usenet Oracle and plays a manger part in hackers life’s but some nitwits calls them-self’s hackers but are in fact nerds hoping for certification, so you wana know more? We use news readers (AltBinz or Opera the browser is a nice one but  PAN -A GTK is the best), to find the darkest secrets in computers like the site noted above DEF CON which hold valued data in latest encryption, VMOS, VOIP hacks, WiFi, Security, ZRTP Protocols, Codes and of cause we carn’t forget the help from our world governments secret data! but all this tacks great tact and lots of STUDY KIDS! So get your hands on the latest news reader and go to the Usenet feeds you can use their free severs if you want and start reading but I’d advise you not to go on the underground just yet as you do need to prepare your-self in what is bogus! So please get back to me with some tips in what part of the subject you would like to talk about next, What interests you?

Free Domains

Free Domains ARE available all over the Internet but only if you look in the right places. I found some nice ones like Dot TK, which use long address translations  but is only the domain name that you get form that one. Other great professional hosting plans are HyperPHP this one offers Cpanel, MySQL, 5 addon domains, PHP, FTP management, 15 Gig transfer a month and much more with account instant activation. But if you require a domain and all ready have an website then Domain 4 free is for you, but there are many fab little tools that can help you decide if you wana be a fly and buy or an free onlooker Sedo can help you. I hope that this has been helpfully to you, so please drop me a line.
