Awesome Flipping: BMX rider achieves world record three rotations (and lands safely) in back flip stunt .

Flying through the air this bike rider looks set for one almighty crash landing. But BMX star Jed Mildon is in perfect control. That's because the 24-year-old New Zealander is in the middle of the first ever completed triple back-flip. Watched by friends, family and most importantly a Guiness World Records representative, Mildon completed the feat at the weekend. The event took place in his hometown of Taupo on New Zealand's north island and required a specialist built ramp, which measured 20m high to build up speed. And to complete the stunt he had to pull off a perfect landing on the 3.6m high landing zone.When both wheels touched down and he rode to a stop unscathed, Mildon was mobbed by the gathered crowd. An estimated 2,000 people were on hand to witness the stunt as well as some of New Zealand's best BMX riders. The thrilled biker said afterwards: 'This is the perfect result to three intensive months of practising and training for this moment. The impact and implications hasn't sunken in yet, but I'm so pumped to have aimed for something once deemed impossible and made my dream a reality. Landing with both wheels on the downramp was the most amazing feeling in the world.

He added that he thinks his best is still to come - although having completed the stunt he doesn't have anything left to prove. He told a New Zealand television channel: 'In my mind I've started planning the next project but I definitely 100 per cent know the world isn't ready for it. I could handle going that fast (60 km/h) so I'm pretty sure we can make it bigger and better. I think you're going to see pretty crazy things in the near future and I think this is only the beginning. Following his feat Mildon also attempted the world's first Double Backflip Tailwhip but crashed on landing. He walked away unscathed.

Other stunts at the event included a Harley Davidson motorbike rotated in mid-air and a wheelchair backflip.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue


In a very interesting statement at E3 today, GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi brought us both good and bad news. The good news is that he confirmed that the Polyphony Digital team was focusing nearly all of their efforts on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, working hard to bring us features like vehicular damage, private online races, new tracks, and more cars. Of course, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, and he added that these updates could push the full version of Gran Turismo 5 back into 2010. He also confirmed that Gran Turismo Mobile, for the PSP, is still in “active development” but probably not be released until after Gran Turismo 5 (in other words, 2011).

Nintendo 3DS portable game system specs revealed

Nintendo Japan has just released the technical details of its upcoming 3DS portable gaming system, which will feature three-dimensional graphics, multitasking, and web browsing capability.

Seven months after Nintendo announced the development of a portable 3D gaming console on which "games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for special glasses", the gaming giant has just released more detailed specifications on its blog.

The device will measure 134mm x 74mm x 21mm, just slightly longer and wider -but thinner- than the Nintendo DS Lite.



According to gaming website IGN.com, the Nintendo 3DS will feature three 0.3 megapixel cameras, one on the inside and two on the outside.
The two outside cameras will enable users to take 3D pictures that can be viewed on the spot.

Also, the traditional input buttons are now complemented by a "Circle Pad" for 360-degree analogue input. The device will also feature a motion sensor and a gyroscopic sensor in addition to the touch screen.

The Nintendo 3DS will also be capable of multitasking and web browsing, so users can surf the Internet even in mid-game. The console will be backwards compatible, capable of playing DSi and DS games.

The Nintendo 3DS is set to launch in Japan in February 2011, with an estimated price of Y25,000 (about PhP13,000). Pricing and launch dates for other countries have not yet been announced.

Assassin’s Creed 3D HD Games for Smartphones...


Take yourself into the edge of your seat in this breathtakingly awesome HD action and adventure game Assassin’s Creed HD. It is considered to be one of the most legendary game in its genre, Assassin’s Creed HD brings you much closer to what game play should always be like. This game offers an extensive set of levels which are entirely different from each other in almost every aspect.
There are various combo moves that you can perform to kill an enemy or to simply jump off from one roof to the other. What makes Assassin’s Creed such a successful action game for the Nokia N-Gage compatible platform and even for the iPhone?
There are two main reasons that Assassin’s Creed HD is simply way too much fun to play:
1. an interesting storyline with great graphics
2. fast paced action filled game play!


Storyline and Perks:

Assassin’s Creed 3D HD takes place in the era of 1100 A.D. and you will jump right into the conflict between the Crusaders and the Saracens. You will play as the legendary and often deadly assassin, Altair. Your sole duty towards your motherland is to save itself from being torn apart into pieces.
Your main skills are your acute ability of coming out as the victor in any exhilarating sword fights. While your fighting skills help you to stay alive from the blades of the enemies, it is in fact, your witty thinking and improvised high-flying climbing skills that help you to escape deadly situations and traps set by the enemies.
Some of your missions include stealing and pickpocketing precious maps, jewels, secret documents etc while some are to kill someone particular.
Throughout the game you will have to solve difficult puzzles, riddles and fight soldiers, other assassins etc before you can face the next level of this N-Gage 2.0 game. Level by level the game will unravel the mystery of how to eliminate your primal enemies.


Gameplay:

Assassin’s Creed 3D HD offers you with a total of 23 highly detailed and extensive levels before you can finish this game. This game is quite long as it is however it is very entertaining throughout, rest assured you will not be bored whatsoever.
A realistic tactical scenario based game and you just can’t start out all guns blazing during the start of a level. Everything you do depends on your skill level and to increase these skills you will have to collect magical orbs and trade them for points. These accumulated points can then be used accordingly to trade against specific skill upgrades which will make you a better assassin with every upgrade.
The overall graphics detail are truly astounding throughout the game and rarely you will have environment that are similar to any other level. Sword flashes and sparks are beautifully engineered to their impact to provide you the top notch flames. 3D based night and day based surroundings make this mobile game a gamers delight and such details are rarely seen on other games. Audio effects are at an acceptable level and should not irritate you even if you hear them a thousand times.
The variable speed game play lets you improvise moves within move, combo within combos and more often you will have to think outside the box to get out of a ‘one way out’ type of levels. When exploring a level your trails usually lasts a while, however in open environment they disappear quickly and makes it extremely difficult to go back when you are lost.

The high definition environment of Assassin’s Creed HD lets you choose between multiple routes that you can take to reach the ‘final boss’ of a level. Each route has its unique characteristics which can be negative or positive depending on the situation. In some level you will face more number of enemies with a straightforward way to follow while in some the number of enemies will be much less but the route itself will be very difficult to pass and filled with confusing puzzles and traps.
There are several different ways you can terminate an enemy including a ’stealth mode’ which I personally like. The stealth mode kill is highly useful and effective specially when you are the start of a level and do not want to attract too much attention. However, stealth kills are much difficult to perform as such kills are usually generated by 2 combo moves from your end and needs precision timing.
The other way is to choose and fight with swords/knives/daggers etc which does make a bit of noise but is easier to control and execute from both short and long distances. It is highly effective when your enemies are aware of you or when there are a number of enemies in front of you.

Assassin’s Creed 3D HD Features:

* Responsive environments based on your own behaviour.
* 23 levels in 4 fully 3D-rendered medieval environments: Damascus, Jerusalem, Masyaf, and Acre, you can visit inside & outside buildings in time of day or night.
* A wide range of acrobatic moves: Run, jump, climb.
* Impressive combo attacks mixing sword skills and kicks for relentless fights or silent kills.
* Extended weaponry: now 11 weapons adapted for close combat and long range attack: 5 different swords, daggers, bombs, a grappling hook and many more!
* Gather orbs along the levels to upgrade your life bar or sword.
Note:- If you will find unknown file error or unknown extension error. So please try to renaming the extension to SIS instead of SISX and vice-versa.
