Introduction of heavy – grade weapons like grenade launcher, gun which can be used to blast through groups of enemy vanguards have made the special thrilling effects in the game.

Installation of Mass Effect 2 is similar to Blade Runner and features fires burning from what looked like refineries, as well as brightly colored neon billboards. Fans of series will be pleased to know that the game will run at a constant 35 frames per second. Bio Ware has made use of added protection to pop out and take a few quick shots at the troopers, which also highlighted the game’s new damage system. The game teaches the lesson to fight for the lost. You can target your enemy’s arms, legs and heads with more accuracy than before and firing a bullet straight into an enemy’s skull results in a satisfying instant killing.

You can kill your enemy’s in areas like mixture of confined and open areas by sniper rifle, shotgun and assault rifle which is the best solution for these areas. Eclipse troopers are the new enemy in Mass Effect 2 which gives a chance to try out the new control scheme of the game. Bio Ware has changed this new control scheme in effort to improve the combat. Ability to swap out ammunition types from the mid fight radial menu, a more responsive cover system and additional effectiveness to headshots have made the combat changes more impressive. The radial menu ammo switching made it worlds easier to adjust to different types of enemy on the fly, while the improved hit detection made picking off enemies from a far quite thrilling.

We can say that in a lot of ways, Mass Effect 2 looks like the game everyone wanted from the original. Its glaring bugs appear to have been taken care of, with texture pop-in mostly out of the picture and an inventory system have been improved to a great extent. Deeper look at the galactic conflicts and lingering tensions have made the original so interesting. Bio Ware is quite sure that Mass Effect 2 will carve out its own unique place in the series so far.

So, enjoy the game, enjoy with heavy grade weapons, enjoy with fine electronic arts and fight for the loss.

Microsoft, Apple and 21 More Companies Sued for Touch Screen Patent Violation

No comments July 22nd, 2009

Tsera has sued 23 electronics companies in federal court in eastern Texas for violating a patent on touchscreens.
The suit, filed on July 15, cites Apple’s iPod Classic and Nano products, Microsoft’s Zune digital media player, and 21 other popular devices as violating a patent, “Methods and Apparatus for Controlling a Portable Electronic Device Using a Touchpad,” granted in 2003.
The patent proposes a general description of how a user would input commands on a touchscreen “by tracing patterns with his finger on a surface of the touchpad. No immediate visual feedback is provided as a command pattern is traced, and the user does not need to view the device to enter commands.”

“A microcontroller within the device matches the pattern traced by the user against a plurality of preset patterns, each of which corresponds to a predefined function or command of the device. If the pattern traced by the user is a reasonably close match to any of the preset patterns, the device performs the predefined function corresponding to the matched pattern. The touchpad replaces the numerous buttons that are typically used to control portable electronic devices, thereby enhancing usability and reducing manufacturing costs.”

“Apple has had actual knowledge of the ’584 patent since at least as early as September 30, 2004 when the ’584 patent was cited as prior art during the prosecution of Apple’s U.S. Patent Application No. 10/259,159,” the complaint said. “Apple’s infringement of the ’584 patent has been and continues to be willful, wanton, and deliberate, and carried out with full knowledge and awareness of the Plaintiff’s patent rights and without license from Plaintiff.”

Other defendants in this case are Auditek, Bang & Olufsen, Coby Electronics Corp., Cowon, Dane-Elec Corp., Data Station, IMA ” Hong Kong, Impecca USA, iRiver, Philips Electronics, LG Electronics, Mach Speed Technologies, Meizu Technology, Spectra Merchandising and Trekstor GMBH.
