Screenshots

Tony Hawk's just the regular guy who kicks up a couple of skateboarding tricks each time. From his Project 8 screenshots though, you could tell though that it was just more than the cruising style -- but the variety of stylishly animated backgrounds and the experience of "being there" as a player because of the realistic attributes. The Project 8 screenshots found at http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1480/Tony-Hawks-Project-8/p1 could very well spell the difference between a commercial success on this new Tony Hawk adventure or a flop, so go check 'em and judge 'em yourself.

As for me, there's no other skateboarding game more noteworthy. Although little has been said of this upcoming Tony Hawk release, my X-box console holding fingers are already crossed. I want Tony Hawk to come out as a hit as badly as I want to get a grip of the mouth-watering Project 8 screenshots. I'm sure my comrades, who are less of fans than I am, would look at me as though I just swallowed a flying lizard. They didn't think Tony Hawk was doing great acts.

But the screenshots prove otherwise. Project 8 won't be released until November, but the facelift has been rumored to be as engaging as any. The skating environment could now be morphed according to the player's will. For example, the buses and rails could be arranged and repositioned, there will no longer be load tunnels, and all of these with the help of the hammer icon. There's also the existence of the new flip trick called "Nail the Trick". So far, if you're lucky and skillful enough, you just might progress from Am to Pro to Sick levels in no time.

Microsoft will offer a game every Wednesday for the next five weeks. It will also include retro games with higher-end graphics and new strategies to play together. The first game that would be featured is the log-hopping, traffic-dodging classic, Frogger. So far, according to Greg Canessa, a group manager for Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox owners have downloaded around 5 million free trial games and 21.7 percent of those decided to subscribe for the permanent version of the game.

Froggle and Pacman fans can now enjoy playing their 1980's favorite games through Xbox Live Arcade. Xbox Live Arcade is an online service that allows people download free trial games and buy them for $5 to $15. This is Microsoft's latest plan according to their announcement last Wednesday. This is an attempt of Microsoft to bring back the memories of these 1980's games for its avid players. According to Microsoft, they are hoping that even with the Xbox 360, avid fans of these games will still be able to play the games that they grew up with.

Initially, Xbox Live Arcade is traditionally planned for children, women, or older players who don't fit the young male demography associated with Xbox. The company later found out that even hardcore gamers are also fascinated with the arcade games and they are willing to pay for it. Now, the company has twenty arcade games that are for sale for Xbox 360. By the end of 2006, Microsoft hopes to make it to 50 titles.

I loved Xmen ever since I was a kid and even now I'm still watching the blockbuster movie, show and games through my high definition television set. Xmen is not only a cartoon for me and for most kids of my age that time because for us, it is simply the realization that good will always defeat evil in all battles. I also like it because it makes me curious and wonder if there are really existing mutants in the planet. My idea can be ridiculous as it gets but i think we would have a better place to live in if we have Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Professor X, Jean Grey, Gambit, Beast, and Cyclops in our happy neighborhood.

Even in the movies, it's clear to see and I bet it's safe to say that Xmen is making powerful waves beating other blockbuster hits. But I'm just sad in the plot of the movie wherein even mutants are being discriminated by the government and other citizens. Anyway, that might just be in the movies and my imagination is getting wild again due to continuous surfing in the net through my Dell Inspiron notebook about my favorite superheroes.

In this screenshot taken from the Xbox game X2: Wolverine's revenge, it already depicts that Wolverine is really filled with anger and anxiety. The color of the screen is so hot that I can feel the temper and the temperature like it's happening live right before my eyes. Although Wolverine is facing backwards in this shot, I know that he is determined to show all Xmen fans and gamers that he is one bloody hell of a fearless guy.

I love JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I love Peter Jackson's realistic movie creation about the novel, too. I love everything about Lord of the Rings. I even love Gollum.

So when I found this screenshot where Frodo is trying to overcome an obstacle I immediately copy-pasted it on my notebook PC so I can scrutinize the pixels, colors, and shot. This is superb. Especially when I'm not in the mood to watch the two and a half hour trilogies, or when I'm too lazy to pick up the book, or play the game, I just put on my computer and look at my LOTR screenshots.

I've always enjoyed watching the tv-series Futurama, so when it released the game version of this cartoon-series, I immediately looked for possible screenshots to put on my computer. I love the clarity of Futurama Screenshots, especially the one where Fly in on a spotlight.

I 've always found Bender's character to be very funny. And in this game, he is still is mean and sarcastic. Leila's screenshot is my favorite because even with one eye, she looks pretty with pink hair. This screenshot is well-edited and captures the color of the wonderful video game.

Like in real-life photography, screenshots also need you to pay close attention to the movements in your game. Decide what pose or background to take then set the distance in View Options. Then press print screen to send the image into the Paint program of your computer. If the shot is already in your paint program then you can do whatever finishing touches you may like. Resize, remodel, change color and definition, do anything, the image is at your will now. After you’ve made your changes (or not), ‘paste’ or ‘new from clipboard’ the image. When all is done, you now have your own screenshot.
