ActiveWin: Far Cry PC - Review
04/15/2004 11:48 AM

I
have posted up
my review of the UBI Soft/Cry Tek first person shooter - Far Cry
released last
month on the PC. Here is a snippet from the review:
Far Cry is a first person shooter.
The first thing
to mention is that the game has excellent AI, I can’t say that a
game has had as
good AI as this since Half Life, and that was released years ago. To
give you an
idea of the difference this game has compared to others, if you are
creeping through
the jungle, you can do so without the enemy knowing where you are
without actually
seeing you, the enemy rely on where they last saw you or where you
have been heard.
This is even better when you can throw rocks to put the enemy off of
your tracks
and have them running and looking in a different direction
altogether.

I
have posted up
my review of the final version of MSN's Premium online
service. Here is a snippet
from the review:
The Microsoft Network is not aiming for advanced
users, that
is something we have to get out of the way first as a lot of reviews
criticise
it for being too childlike in appearance, MSN takes aim at families
who want to
get online and use the Internet with ease. MSN’s main rival over
the years has
been AOL, which continues to improve and do well even now with
increased competition.

Byron
has posted up our
review of the recently released AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Processor.
This is one of
the chips that supports Windows XP Service Pack 2's Data Execution
Protection thanks
to AMD's 64-Bit Chips, it's also one of the first chips to use Socket
939. This
will be the first of many upcoming processors and internal hardware
reviews to show
up on the site, so more and more comparison pieces will see the light
in the near
future. Here is a piece from the review:
First up we have a die shrunk from
193mm²
to 144mm², although the FX53 uses the larger 193mm² due to the
cache size on
the chip. Not only that, we get quite a rise in Mhz this time round
although
not quite as much as some people may have expected especially if they
are comparing
it to a top of the range Pentium 4, which runs a whole 1ghz faster
than the
fastest AMD processor. As usual the speed of the chip in raw Mhz
isn't always
what makes it a good processor.

04/05/2005 04:36 PMI have been working on some video review tests for the site, this
means we can give better demonstrations on how some of the hardware
and software we review works. We have a couple of test files we would
like your opinions on. We don't want you to complain about the
dialogue as it was just a 30 second blabbering test I did - but please
comment on the video quality of both feeds and if the Widescreen
versions work ok for you. Settings for the recordings will get better
if we go ahead with this.

I
have posted up our
review
of the brand new Microsoft based smartphone - the Orange SPV C500.
This is the
latest smartphone that has just been released in the UK and runs
Windows Mobile
2003 Second Edition software. The review is based on the silver
version of the phone.
Here is a piece from the review:
Being a long time Pocket PC user I
found Microsoft's
entry into the Smartphone business more interesting than most. Pocket
PC sales have
not been as good as they could be, and I have to admit, I've
started to find mine
more and more useless with the influx of new mobile phones that can do
just about
everything I want from a PDA. The Orange C500 Windows Powered
smartphone is my 2nd
Microsoft based phone I have had from Orange, the first one I started
off with was
the rather large in size E200 model shown below left. The major
problem with previous
Windows Based smartphones has been battery time and the size of the
unit, well things
are about to change with the introduction of the new C500 phone from
Orange.

ActiveWin.com Book of the Day: Bad Boy
Ballmer: The Man Who Rules Microsoft
11/05/2003 11:37 PMIn this revealing biography -- based on in-depth study and interviews
with Microsoft insiders -- Fredric Alan Maxwell provides the complete,
controversial narrative of one of the technology industry's most
influential, talked-about figures: Steven Anthony Ballmer, the awkward
Detroit Country Day School valedictorian who rose to become
Microsoft's president, and in the past two years, its CEO. Together
with Bill Gates, Ballmer leads the company he and Gates took from less
than 30 employees to some 50,000, and annual revenues from $12 million
to more than $20 billion and rising. A balanced portrait, this book
reveals the good boy Ballmer -- the dedicated son who once took three
months off to care for his ailing parents, and the bad boy Ballmer --
the ruthless businessman who at the same time devised and led a
scorched earth policy against other software developers, a policy that
earned him the nickname "The Em-balmer."
