The complex video games of our days involve a complex story and game play, really advanced graphics and characters, and many other things…so in order to enjoy a video game at its maximum capacity, you will definitely need to have a powerful computer and a large display screen to enjoy the video quality. You can also play video games on a laptop, but the sensation won’t be the same as on a computer. there are many good gaming desktops on the market, and for today we’ll discuss more about one of them.
It is known that the Alienware laptops and computers are the best on the market for video gaming, so for today we’ll present a model made by this company. And we are going to choose the Alienware – Desktop / Intel ® Core ™ i7 Processor / 6 GB Memory / 1 TB Hard Drive, Model: AAR 2 – 2618 CSB. Like any other product of Alienware, this is really expensive (it costs 1,600 dollars at Best Buy) but it is also really good.

The RAM memory is also really good, and it comes with 6 GB DDR 2 SDRAM as default, and it can be expanded up to 16 GB.

So this is the great thing about having a desktop computer – that you can always upgrade it when necessary. But a laptop usually can’t be upgraded, so when you need more powerful features your only choice would be to buy a new laptop. the optical drive for this computer is really good too, and it is a Multiformat DVD ± RW/ CD-RW drive with double-layer support, that can record up to 8.5 GB of data on a single DVD.
In order to store a lot of large and complex video games you will definitely need a large hard drive, and this one has a capacity of 1 TB. In case you don’;t know what this means…it means 1,000 GB. So it is a really big capacity, and you can store all sorts of files, from video games to High Definition movies.
The speed for the hard drive is 7200 rpm. You will need to buy a separate display screen for this powerful computer, but the video quality won’t be good enough without a powerful graphics engine. So this computer has the ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics which features up to 1 GB discrete video memory for intense imagery. It also has integrated audio with 7.1 channel support and 8 high speed USB ports. Besides this it also has 2 IEE 1394 ports and built in ethernet LAN for easy access to the internet.

Gaming Laptop Reviews
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 27 2010, in the categories: gaming laptops
So let’s continue our journey through the world of the powerful laptops which are indicated for video games, and for today we’ll make another gaming laptop review. It is known that the best computers and laptops for gaming are those made by the company Alienware, but those are also really expensive. So if money are a problem for you, then you should consider buying a laptop from another company, one that is cheaper.
But of course you can’t buy just any laptop of 500 dollars or so, because it won’t work so well for video games. To get a decent gaming laptop you will need at least 700 dollars, and to get a really powerful one you will definitely have to spend more than 1000 dollars.

So the gaming laptop review for today will be about the Dell – Studio XPS Laptop / Intel ® Core ™ i5 Processor / 15.6 ” Display / 6 GB Memory / 640 GB Hard Drive – Obsidian Black, Model: X 1647 – 1175 OBK. This is a really powerful laptop, good for any kind of video game, but also an expensive one which costs 1500 dollars at Best Buy. So this may seem like a really big price for most of the people, but it is still cheap compared to the Alienware notebooks which have price of 2,000 dollars or more. And its features are just as good as those from an Alienware.
For example the processor is an Intel ® Core ™ i5 – 450 M processor which features 3 MB cache and 2.4 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.66 GHz. The RAM memory is also really big, especially for a default memory of a laptop. most of the good notebooks today come with 4 GB of RAM memory, but this one has 6 GB DDR 3 as default. The optical drive is a DVD ± RW / CD-RW drive while the display screen is a 15.6 ” LED backlit LCD high definition plus widescreen display with 720 p resolution which delivers intense detail and clarity. The hard drive is really spacious, so that you can store a lot of large files such as movies, video games, programs, music and so on. It has a capacity of 640 GB and a good speed of 7200 rpm.
A great video experience at gaming is not possible without a good graphics engine, so this Dell laptop comes with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 graphics which features up to 1 GB dedicated video memory for impressive image detail. It also has built in stereo speakers and a HDMI output for connecting the laptop to a High Definition TV. It even has a built in webcam of 2 megapixels and a 8 in 1 media card reader (which supports Secure Digital, High-Speed Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, Secure Digital IO, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card formats). For this price it should have had more USB ports, but it has just 2 of them and also a IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. You can use this laptop for other activities too, and not just for video gaming.

So you can also browse the internet thanks to the Intel ® 6200 2 x 2 wireless mini card (802.11 b / g / n) and built in 10 / 100 / 1000 Ethernet LAN with RJ 45 connector. It is not the most portable laptop, so it is recommended to use it as a desktop replacement. It has a weight of 6.4 lbs and measures just 1.3 inch thin. Its battery has an acceptable life of 3 hours and 7 minutes. After all this is a laptop, and it is portable, so if you really need to, you can take it with you when traveling. And finally the Dell Studio XPS laptop also comes with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system and some other installed programs. Enjoy it!
So here was just an example of a good gaming laptop found on the market right now. But of course there are many more others, from different companies, and they are just waiting for you to buy them. In case you too are a big fan of video gaming, and you also own a laptop, tell us more about it. Tell us what features it has, what price you paid for it and also which video games you usually play. Have a nice day!
Custom Gaming Laptop
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 27 2010, in the categories: gaming computer
In order to enjoy the really complex video games of our days, you definitely need to have a really powerful computer. But it isn’t necessary to play the games just on a computer, and since a laptop can perform the same tasks as any PC, you can also play video games on a laptop. But of course not any laptop will support intensive video gaming, and especially those that are cheap and have a graphics card with shared video memory. So you will need a powerful one.
Most of the producers allow their clients to customize the laptop they want to have, offering them many options to choose from, in order to make the perfect laptop for their needs. So in case you want to make yourself a custom gaming laptop, here are some things that you should consider. First of all you will need to focus on the processor. This is practically the “heart” of any computer or laptop, so it needs to be really good to support intensive video gaming. In the last few months the Intel Core 2 Duo was the most popular processor on the market for laptops, but lately Intel came up with new and improved models.

These are the Intel Core i3, the Intel Core i5 and the Intel Core i7. And of course, the last one is the better one and also the most expensive. Even an Intel Core i3 can be really good for video games, but if you have the i5 or the i7 that will be even better. The next thing you need to consider is the RAM memory. Many video games can work just fine with 1 GB of RAM DDR 3 , but in order to enjoy the games at their best capacity, it will be recommended to have at least 2 GB and 4 GB DDR 3 will be perfect. Since the video games of our days are really complex, they also take a lot of hard drive space. So in order to be able to store as many large video games as possible, you will need to have a large hard disk. One with 160 GB can be quite ok, one with 320 GB is great but one with 500 GB or even more will be perfect.

If you are looking for a custom gaming laptop you don’t need to focus on having a small and light laptop, because this will make you lose the benefits of having a large display screen. And a large screen usually means a great video quality, so this is what you need to look for at a gaming laptop. One with a screen of 17 inch will be really good, but if you choose one with a screen of 20 inch or more will be amazing for the video quality. And a great video quality is not possible without a good graphics card, so you will need to focus on this one too. If you want to play complex video games stay away from the Intel GMA graphics cards with shared video memory, and look for an NVIDIA (or something similar) with dedicated video memory. A graphics card with 1 GB of dedicated video memory will be really good.
It is known that the touchpad devices can be really annoying, and they will definitely not work for playing video games. So you will need to buy a laptop mouse. You can buy just a regular one and it will be ok, but if you are really crazy about video gaming, then you should buy a gaming mouse. These devices have many more features than a simple mouse, which can be really useful for intensive video gaming.
So these were the features that you need to consider when buying a laptop that will be mostly used for playing video games. In case we missed any feature, please tell us about it. Also tell us what kind of laptop you are using for video games, and which video games you like to play. Have a nice day!
Online Gaming Sites
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 27 2010, in the categories: gaming
Whenever you are bored and you wish to do something fun and relaxing, you can choose to play a video game. If you don’t have any installed game into your computer, it’s not problem, because you can find thousands of cool games on the internet. They are absolutely free, and they can be played directly from your internet browser. And we are referring here to the free online flash games.
There are all sorts of games like this, with all sorts of topics. Some examples would be: shooting games, driving games, sport games, puzzle games, educational games, math games, kids games, adult games, arcade games and many many more. There are also many online gaming sites, and one of the best of them is miniclip.com.

Here you can hundreds of cool games to play, with different topics. Some of the categories from the site are: 3 D games, action adventure, android, arcade, award, brain training, buzz games, education, fighting flying, golf games, Halloween, learning games, platform, political, racing, puzzle, retro, sports, strategy, winter and many more others. So since there are so many games we’ll just pick a random one and discuss more about it. Let’s take for example the “Presidential knockout” game. This is a political game which illustrates the battle between George W. Bush and John Kerry. Only that this is not a presidential battle, it is a real battle, where they are boxing against each other. he controls for this game are: the W key for left upper cut, the A key for left jab, the S for right upper cut and the D key for right jab.
By holding the space bar is your defensive block and will let you regain your strength. So then choose your opponent and the difficulty and then you can start the boxing match. It can be really fun to play, especially if you hate one of these two politicians. You will have to use combinations of the keys we mentioned earlier and try to do this as fast as possible, without letting your opponent hit you. Watch out at the energy level, because if it becomes too low you won’t be able to hit your opponent.
Actually you can still hit him, only that your punches won’t have enough energy, and he will lose just a small amount of his life. So when you run out of energy simply press the space bar, and hold it like that until you recharge your energy. In this time you will be in defensive block, so your opponent will not be able to hit you. Until you have regained the energy start punching again until one of you loses. There will be 3 boxing rounds, and who ever wins 2 of them will be declared the winner of the match. Have fun!

Another fun game that you can try from miniclip.com is the one called “ice breaker”. This is a really cool game, and we already made a detailed review about it in a previous article. So for now we’ll just tell you the main ideas. You have to use the mouse to cut pieces of ice, in order to make all the small Vikings to fall into the ship. Once they get there, the Viking standing on the ship will hit the piece of ice, and set the other Vikings free. Your objective is to get all the Vikings safe to the ship. There will be Vikings all over the place, so use the mouse or the arrow keys to look around the entire map. Good luck!
So here was just an example of one of the many online gaming sites from the internet. In case you have tried some other games from miniclip that are really cool and worth playing, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!

In case you are a fan of video gaming there are all sorts of cool games that you can choose to play. First of all there are the complex ones, those that come on a CD or a DVD and which need to be bought first, and then installed into the computer but there are also some games which are absolutely free, and they can be played on the internet without having to buy or install anything. It is true that these are much simpler games, with a really simple graphic and game play compared to the other category, but they can be as fun as the other ones. There are many sites which are offering free online games for free, and one of them is this one. Besides games you can also find video, pictures, jokes and cartoons so this can be a really fun and entertaining site.
When entering the category of games you will notice that they are sorted on different categories, and these are: arcade games, board games , card games, casino games, fighting games, multiplayer games, puzzle games, racing games, shooting games and also sport games. So there will be a game for anyone, no matter his or her preferences. So now let’s discuss about one of the games here, and since there are so many of them we’ll just pick a random one. For example the game called “Dawn of the celebs”. In this zombie game you need to survive as much as possible and protect your limo.

The interesting thing about this game is that the zombies are not just any zombies, but they are celebrities turned into zombies. You will have to kill all of them and to save Hollywood. As you advance through the game you will discover many cool weapons and also gossip headlines about the celebrities. The controls are not very complicated and you have to use the mouse to aim and shoot, the space bar to reload and the numeric keys from 1 to 6 to change weapons. To move your player use the W, A, S and D keys.
The zombies look quite realistic and scary, so this can be a really nice game for the fans of horror games and movies. Besides this there will be a lot of blood involved, especially when you shoot the zombies. You are sitting behind the limousine, and the zombies are coming towards you in waves. You have to kill them as fast as possible and don’t allow them to reach your limo. Since they are zombies (so they are already dead), it will be quite really difficult to kill them again, and a zombie will die after many shots, not just one. as you advance through the game you will find out many famous people such as: Madonna, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Johnny Depp and many more. So in case you don’t like any of these celebrities, you will be really satisfied to shoot them. If the zombies manage to get to your limousine and if they destroy it, the game will be over.

So now let’s pick another random game from this site, and we’ll choose a different one. for example the game called “Hit the road 2”. This is a traffic management game and you will have to organize the traffic lights in order to prevent accidents. The cars will drive straight or stop depending on how you arrange the traffic lights. There are also pedestrians in the game but you won’t have to worry about them. The only thing you need to worry about are the cars, and make sure that they don’t crash into one another. Select the difficulty of the game, then the quality and start it. Simply use the mouse to click and change the color of the traffic lights and make sure to not cause any accidents. Good luck!<
So if you are a fan of free online gaming, here were some examples of games that you can try. But of course there are hundreds or even thousands of more others. In case you know some other that are really cool and worth playing, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!
Gaming Pc Review
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 23 2010, in the categories: gaming
Since the video games of our days are really complex and advanced, you can’t just play them on any computer. and even if you somehow manage to play them on a weak computer you won’t be able to enjoy them at their maximum quality. So to do this you will need to have a really powerful computer, with advanced features. For today we’ll make a short review on a gaming PC, and we won’t choose one from Alienware like usual, but one made by a different producer. And we’ll choose the Dell – Studio XPS Desktop / Intel ® Core ™ i5 Processor / 8 GB Memory / 1 TB Hard Drive, Model: sx 8100-1408 NBC, which comes at a price of 950 dollars on Best Buy.
Even though it might not look like a gaming PC (like the ones made by Alinenware), it still has really good features, that will support even the most advanced video games. First of all let’s look at its processor, and it has the brand new model from Intel, the Intel ® Core ™ i5 – 650 processor which features 4 MB cache memory and a 3.2 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 3.46 GHz. The RAM memory is really good too, and it has 8 GB of DDR 3 SDRAM for a great multitasking power, and the best thing is that it can be expanded up to 16 GB. The optical drive is a simple Multiformat DVD ± RW / CD-RW drive while the hard drive has a huge capacity of 1 TB (this means 1,000 GB). So you can store all sorts of large files such as big video games, movies in Blu-ray format, music, pictures and so on. A great gaming experience is not possible without having a good graphics engine, so this computer comes with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics which features up to 1024 MB of dedicated memory for lush images with stunning detail.

In previous articles we also discussed about some gaming laptops, and those usually had a 5 in 1 or a 7 in 1 media card reader. But this computer has an amazing 19 in 1 media reader, with support for: Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, miniSD, microSD, MultiMediaCard, Reduced-Size MultiMediaCard, MultiMediaCard Plus, RD MultiMediaCard Plus, MultiMediaCard micro, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick micro, CompactFlash I/II, SmartMedia, Microdrive and xD-Picture Card formats. Besides all of these, it also has one IEEE 1394 port and 8 high speed USB ports. And it even has both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet. So these were about all the features of this powerful computer, and what we can say more is that it also comes with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system.

So here was a short review of a gaming PC, but of course there are many more others on the market, from Dell or from other producers too. In case you know some more that are really cool and worth trying, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!

After you place all the shapes on the screen, the level is not over yet. You will have to survive for 10 seconds, and in this time the structure must not fall apart. You will notice that all the shapes have some kind of a smiley face, and they are all initially happy. But once you place them on the screen, and especially when they feel that they are falling apart, they will become scared and unhappy. But once they get their balance back, they will be happy again. And if all the shapes are happy, you will complete the level even faster, and you won’t have to wait for 10 seconds. So try to make it as steady as possible, so that all the shapes are happy. If they are not, you will have to wait the whole 10 seconds, but of the structure doesn’t fall apart in that time, you will still complete the level.

There are 4 categories of levels (easy stacks, medium stacks, tricky stacks and hard stacks) and each one has 10 levels. So there are 40 of them to complete, so you won’t get bored soon with this game. In the upper side of the screen you will see the structures that are following to come, and also their dimensions. So be really careful at the next shape that is coming, and also at its dimension. In the first level there are just squares, and they are getting smaller and smaller. So since this is just the first level it is really simple to complete. Just place all the squares on top of each other. In the second level you will have many squares with the same dimension and finally a small triangle. Simply place all the squares on top of each other to make a big tower, and finally put the triangle on top of them. But of course be sure where you place each piece, so that it is as steady as possible. In the third level you will have some circles too, and also a bar. There will be many horizontal or vertical bars across the game, and they don’t have a smiley face, so you can place them wherever you want. They can also be really helpful and they can make your structure steady. In this level you will make some kind of a school bus, where the 2 circles are the wheels, the squares will make the body of the bus and the triangle will complete it by being the windshield.

In the 4th level you will have only triangles, and the easiest way is to make a pyramid shape. After completing the pyramid it will be a steady structure, so you won’t have to wait the whole 10 seconds to complete the level, and all the faces will be happy. In the next level you will have just squares and also a horizontal bar. You might think that all of them have the same size of 60 x 60, but if you look carefully you will notice that the last square is a really big one with a size of 270 x 270. so be careful how you place the rest of the squares so that you have enough space for the big square. The next level might be a little tricky because you have to place the pieces on a slippery surface. But if you place the 2 squares at the end of those triangles, you will then be able to hold the circles so that they won’t fall. The next level is also tricky, because the squares are getting bigger and bigger and they can easily lose their balance. The game goes on and on like this, and the levels are getting more and more interesting. Some of them are easier, while others are really difficult, but after all this is a really fun game to play. Enjoy it!
