All the most realistic, Infinite Ventures is engaged in similar projects for 15 years and in football management advised of such gaming giants as Electronic Arts (EA Sports FA Premier League Manager) and Ubisoft (Football World Manager). Pluses. Excellent content. A similar amount of real information was first used in games simulator. Infinite Ventures has covered all aspects of football management and has created a set of interfaces required for management and training teams of the club. Nenazoylivoe good football and it is music, and good sound design matches. Cons. Interface too much, take time to sort out. Unfortunately, there are not as useful to this briefing, have to overcome Help-file.

Hurry! Free Driving: Published Demo Street Duel

Version Street Duel for Pocket PC Pixelogic, finally lifted the curtain on its Street Duel. The first demo version of the game was released simultaneously with the commercial, however, existed on the site developer all day. At the largest portal for mobile applications Handango, not having a demo version of the game dramatically behind other applications on the number of downloads: If not mistaken, about ten days after the release of the game, it fluctuated around 70. Finally, two weeks later the demo version was returned, the number of downloads instantly soared to more than 10 times. As it turned out, reviews of which we are told, is almost not exaggerating. Although the demo version is available only to the first level, it is possible to draw several conclusions, which essentially boils down to this: the game is really good. And it really is a breakthrough - Games for Pocket PC reached the level of gaming consoles. Suppose that while first-generation consoles - it is possible that evolving at the pace the game for the Pocket PC will soon catch up with the current generation of game consoles. Pluses. Authenticity and realism of images, attention to detail, adherence to physical laws. Good sensitivity to management. The developers have worked hard: spread and store the speed trace of the tire at the turn with a handbrake (the so-called "police turn"), slow speed collision.Spectacular animation and collision accidents - cars, blowing up, shards of broken glass. The possibility of regulating the volume of music and sound effects, as well as the possibility of remapping buttons - all this makes the game more comfortable and easy to use. We can only learn to ride properly. Another important advantage - before each game is given clear and simple task, and arrows during the game to guide you and point to a destination. Cons. Despite the announced four music videos, in the demo there was no way to change the music. For all the visual realism of the game, the sounds of the accident seemed to me somewhat implausible. In addition, a pity that the only available in the demo the first level rose immediately after passage.

Greed, greed, or logical

Greed version for Pocket PC 7 Deadly Sins. Pride, envy, anger, gluttony, lust, sloth. And, of course, greed. This is something that no-no. It is impossible. And quite often that, on what basis the game (except laziness). However, in this case, the word greed in the name of the game involves a rather innocent sense - it's greed to the figures. Ordinary Arab. Fairly simple in design, but originally conceived, ideologically, fresh and extremely addictive puzzle game. 11x11 field. Different squares marked with numbers from 1 to 100. Some numbers with a plus sign, some - with a minus sign. In the heart - a green chip. Your possible moves - all free cells around the central primary green chips and the chips of the enemy. For example, at the very beginning of the game you have 8 possibilities of progress around the central green chips. The sum of your score will increase or diminish, respectively, the figures on the cell where you put the chips. You can change the ratio of green and red numbers on the box, change the difficulty level, play with your PDA or other. Tips. The latter course is marked with white ring inside the chips. Making progress, then make sure that he did not by the enemy to the high points. Pluses. Excellent idea of ​​the game, not bad calibrated automatic contender, is consistent with the established level - High your opponent is almost no metal promazyvaet and his will not miss. Designed interface - directly on the output all the information that you may need: the number dialed by you and an opponent of points, as well as change points during the last move, click Undo (curved arrow) and Hint (question mark). Cons. Drawback - the lack of rules included in the game, but instead provides a link to a page with instructions on the Internet. Small inconvenience in the settings menu - there is no exact reference point for setting the ratio of positive and negative points on the field. We have to do everything by eye, which is not very convenient.

BSHacker. Hacking in Hollywood

BSHacker version for Pocket PC Remember the movie "Password - Swordfish"? The protagonist, the owner of the fashionable while the hacker trade, transfer money from one bank to another. Camera close-up shows on the display line, beset map-world - the way of money transfer, the numbers run in the windows open, your fingers glide across the keyboard at a speed of 200 words per minute ... Such images are quite common. Thanks to Hollywood, the hackers were at the peak of glory. It looks like the glory to them back. Company exoSyphen Studios has released a simulator hacking - the game BSHacker. Background talks about took place in 2052, the year of social injustice, about turning the Internet into a means of making money and obstacles liberation movement whose aim was to restore justice and the return of his role an extensive online resource. Justice, as we know, is an expensive business, so your goal in the game is hacking systems around the world and transfer money to your account. It must ensure that you are not spotted. So, your console - the world map with a number of functional buttons. We note the potential victim, break open it (hack), enters the system (login), pumps the money (xfer $).Victims also not slurp soup bast - out the box crawled greenbacks - is they monitor the computer from which was produced by breaking and while you are pumps money they are getting closer and closer to finding the source of the attack - watch the timer at the top - it shows how much time you have left for Safe interruption. Can complicate their task by using compromised computers as proxy servers (check your computer, click on the BNC. Continue the procedure until the victim computer). So, slap-slap on the keys and you - Robin Hood. Pluses. Entourage, borrowed from Hollywood films, respectively, to create mood. Clear and easy interface as well as tips to quickly navigate in the game. Cons. Unfortunately, the game lacks direction. With their savings have nothing to do, which appear in the game new sites require a repetition of the same transaction - the task is not complicated, the only thing that is changing - the number of characters in the password, and then only marginally. Let's hope that eventually the company will release new surprises for fans of burglary.

Plant Tycoon: Now for Pocket PC

Version of Plant Tycoon for Pocket PC version of Plant Tycoon for Palm OS company LDW Software has kept the promise. Now the owner of the title of "Best game simulator of 2003," available for the Pocket PC. Plant Tycoon - is not just a business, with its strict laws of the market. This painstaking research in the pursuit of four species of plants known as plant island of Isola. For the kinds of magic, giving the new knowledge and capabilities. Many, many hours of fun games. You enter the game with a handful of seeds, a few dollars a bag of earth, watering and butter from the pots. Fill the pots of earth, planting seeds produce, watering and waiting for germination. In slow mode, the game the first shoots appear within 10 minutes (game speed can be adjusted via the menu Options). Have to wait until the sprouts into a mature plant and bloom. Only after that you can sell a plant grown produce and experiment with it: to get a new look, you have to pollinate one plant with pollen of others. Then again, wait - this time you are waiting for new seeds. Again, planting, grow ... Over 100 species can be deduced on the way to the cherished magical goal. The game continues in the background so that you can track your progress throughout the day. You can not do without the extra supplies and materials - tools for insect control, fertilization funds for growth, etc. You can buy them at the store with the proceeds from the sale of flowers grown money. Mobilise business bout, memory and logic. All that you need to win. Tips. Insects attack "flocks". Gaily circling in the stem of your pet, they gradually sacrificed him. If there is no money to insecticides, it is better to remove it from the shelves - with time diseased plants infect their neighbors. Upon the sale of plants are guided by the situation. My plants went on average for $ 17-18. By the way, sell gently, leave it the seeds. Pluses. Good idea. I hope the fans of sim games like that. Good interface: in one window displays all the buttons needed to play and all the important information. Perfect system information messages for beginners. After the first successful pollination and seed get under the strict guidance of "guides", you feel almost Vavilov:). Cons. Against the backdrop of a brick wall plants are practically invisible. To the naked eye unless you see that the mature blooming cacti. In order to evaluate all the remaining plants will have to poke at them with stylus and admire them in the dashboard.Another small flaw that I could not just play - nowhere to be seen when the plant reaches maturity, and for how long after pollination, the seeds appear. It would be nice if the developers added some status bar - in fact modern science known period of time? From my own experience I can say that the plant reaches maturity after 25 days. Finally, the last one. On my HP iPAQ h2210 (incidentally, recently bought a "MakTsentr"), the game slowed down a few other applications.

Version of Jet Ducks for Pocket PC version of Jet Ducks for Palm OS month ago in a studio Absolutist does something unbelievable - the sound of hammers, shots, screams cut metal, cracks duck feathers, fluttering around the office: to develop a new game. And now - the studio finally released Jet Ducks. What changes in the studio? Nothing - the same shots, same duck ... Only this time, all employees are immersed in the exciting hunt. A hunt is really exciting. And chances are equal. Because the ducks are now not so harmless. "Every fall you arrange for us to hunt. Frankly, we are satisfied that most of their beaks. From now on, we are protected: We have helmets, parachutes and other military human drebekryak. On your every shot we'll answer a dozen "- said in a memorandum released. What they're shooting - you know. These birds are all sin. However, I personally such hunting for the soul. Miss - are to blame. Nothing with a gun on the little quacking! Ducks take up their existing intelligence and conducted military training. Now in their armed forces:

• the usual and ordinary, the most innocent among staff
• Asas-acrobats, flying in zigzags
• supersonic Uchi - from time to time rushing past you, leaving a white trail in the sky
• and finally, the most dangerous - the arrow-commandos.

As you can see, ducks, and there is not flashed the mind - in spite of his belligerent attitude, only one of an elite unit fighting with you a very special way. But so much joy brings a wounded duck ... And it's not a trophy - the equipment protects them, but how funny they are falling - some with a parting descend by parachute, some with roaring engine dive into the reeds, and some brave emit a cry of Tarzan ... Several game modes. "Blitz" (Blitz) - game for a while, where your goal is to line the maximum number of ducks. "Sniper" (Sniper) - you have a limited number of bullets to aim carefully. "Crossfire" (Cross-fire) - for unknown reasons, it is in this mode, the ducks will not shoot at you. So a "windshield" of your device will remain untainted ducks commandos. And finally, "KryakBum" (CliKill) - shoot a stylus, but this time do not have to aim carefully, it is important only in time to poke the stylus in the passing prey. Frankly, although I'm not a big fan of shooters, however, while I was going home the same as in the studio of Absolutist: the shots, funny sayings ducks, cracks, feathers all over the room ... Pluses. Absolutist as always founder. Great sound, great idea, you will appreciate the fans of shooters, well-chosen level of difficulty, great graphics funny. As many as three interchangeable control systems: the joystick, stylus and arrows on the display. And, of course, a wonderful sense of humor razrabotchkov. Cons. Office of the stylus on my iPAQ 2210 was rather complicated. Could not manage to bring a gun, the animation freezes.

From time to time they will be showered upon you from heaven, by adding your strength, energy, opportunities and points. Your goal - beads with blue and red liquid, the so-called "ether." Of these liquids subsequently spectacular electrical discharge creates a new ball ... Euphoria entourage is very similar to Hollywood movies, in which the main characters in suits with a straight face speak a language full of suggestive own terms, such as for example, DNA, genes and chromosomes. All of this is so delusional context, causing a rolling laugh even slightly versed in the biology student. Well, okay ... But all the colorful, gamble, variously, as an enemy ship, from time to time, flying over the blocks, forcing a smile, letting funny call signs. U-hm-hm "- he tells us, mired in a thirst for destruction of blocks. Hooked on, we certainly do not notice it ... And yet, and it should be wet, wet, wet! Pluses. Set of well-made levels.

VITO Sound Explorer: a lucrative contract with a sound

On the forums HPC.ru often debated question of the functionality of PDAs. Some see the Pocket PC tool for system administrator, an organizer for the manager and a pocket library, others - only a "piece of iron with Tetris. I belong to the camp of users who consider a multifunction device Pocket PC - it all depends on the task and the available software. If as an example, take the recording of the program, we can say that they have settled down at once, becoming an indispensable tool for journalists and students, as well as replacing personal secretaries for management personnel, writers and scientists. From now on, all their thoughts, plans, ideas can be trusted with a dispassionate PDA. Today we present a recently released for sale next version of VITO Sound Explorer - an excellent program recording / playback sound with plenty of opportunities from Novosibirsk software company VITO Technology. The previous version of the program was awarded the Pocket PC Magazine's title of "Best Software 2003" in the category of audio programs. The last, fourth version of the program is already nominated for "Best Software 2004".

Requirements for the PDA, delivery and installation

Vito Sound Explorer program is universal and extremely taxing. Vito Sound Explorer running on a Pocket PC with a MIPS and ARM / XScale. Works correctly in OS 2000 and above. The size of installation file is much smaller than that of most competitors - only 670Kb. On the PDA program takes up about 2MB, mainly due to a file of graphic design. In addition to the installation file in the package also includes a beautifully composed HTML Help file, with which you can see all the features of the program. When installing, running under the standard scheme (presentation program, a user agreement, install the device), given the choice to install directly to your device (recommended) and an expansion card. Supported cards CF, MMC, SD. "The program is universal and extremely taxing"

Interface

Vito Sound Explorer interface is quite convenient and a very few exceptions, based on simple patterns of interaction and understand the symbolism of the user buttons. When installing the program are invited to choose the interface language of 9 possible (Figure 1). After making your selection once, to change the language interface will have to reinstall the program. As can be seen on the screenshots, I chose the great mighty. Unfortunately, the Help file is available so far only in English.

Fig. 1. Select Interface Language.

In the graphic design program developers in many ways to use icons and symbols familiar to users. Moreover, the interface Vito Sound Explorer in much the same panel, home stereo systems, which makes it very easy to use and stylish at the same time. In the top part of the info window that mimics LCDs our hi-fi centers (1 in Fig. 2). Examples include the file name, its parameters, mode of operation (record / playback), as well as counter showing how long it lasts reproduction, or, depending on the mode selected, how much is left to the end of the file.

Fig. 2.The main interface: an information window and file manager

Under the information window are buttons to clear all the symbols (2). All the buttons are large enough, which is much easier to work with the program (working with other programs had to aim to get to the desired button or slider). Their function can be duplicated and tied to the buttons of the Pocket PC in a special window settings (File - Preferences - Buttons). To the right buttons - volume slider (3), the button bookmarks (4) and multi-function button (5), causing the windows file manager, adjusting levels and EQ. So, to find the desired window may have to repeatedly click on it, which causes some inconvenience and takes time to get used to such a scheme. "Interface Vito Sound Explorer is quite convenient and a very few exceptions, based on simple patterns of interaction and user friendly buttons, the symbolism."

Recording

As a child I was extremely afraid of the red button on the tape. One could easily screw up a rare record, often borrowed from friends. In VITO Sound Explorer sound recording - this is fun: it's all easy, convenient and high quality. When you press the record button is a new file. In addition, the toolbar (7 in Fig. 2) You can also do inserts, add an entry to the end of an existing file or overwrite the marked file.

Fig. 3. Record.

Depending on the queries, you can automatically detect the file format recording and, consequently, its quality (File - Settings - Recording: see Fig. 4). Vito Sound Explorer supports recording. Mp3 and. Wav files: from mp3 8kHz up to 16 bit wav 44KHz 16bit. Developers themselves recommend entry. Wav format and then converting to. Mp3 to maintain quality and save space. In particular, wav 22KHz 16 bit is proposed to use for recording conferences and lectures. Nevertheless, my tests on the HP iPAQ 2210 showed that the ability of the microphone of the PDA is not so powerful: we are only legible at a distance of 3-4 meters. Next have to strain to make out the words. Limitations of built-in microphone also apply to the file format - yet can record only in mono. It should also be noted that when recording in mp3 compression due to the ongoing after-recording program will not respond to requests within one to two seconds. For comparison, here are a few files recorded with different parameters. All files were recorded from TV. Recording was done on HP iPAQ h2210, located at a distance of 15cm. from the speaker: The recording settings can also define a prefix for recorded files, configure a folder to save recorded files and select the option, in which for each date files will be stored in a separate folder.

Fig. 4. Box recording setup

VITO Sound Explorer is very economical - within hours of recording were spent only 5% charge my Li-ion battery. In addition, the program provides the possibility of switching off the backlight during operation, which further conserves energy. In addition, the program gently applies also to the resources of memory: when approaching a limit, it automatically stops recording.With Voice Activated System (VAS), you can configure your Pocket PC so that the recording starts automatically at a certain level of noise. This will allow you to avoid the "dummy" - recording of silence. The noise level can be adjusted, thereby setting a record for various events. "In Vito Sound Explorer sound recording - this is fun: it's all easy, convenient and high quality."

Listening

In addition to the recorder, VITO Sound Explorer is also a fairly competitive program for playing audio files. Now he is playing not only mp3-wav-files and (as noted above, provides the ability to convert file format from wav to mp3), but the playlists mr3. You can transfer your playlists, along with the relevant files from PC to PDA, but you can create a playlist directly on the Pocket PC. To do this, just open the context menu by pressing the stylus in the File Manager window and choose "New Playlist". After you assign a name to get into the playlist window, where he carried out his editing (Fig. 5).

Fig. 5. Adding a playlist and edit it

Wonderful and very handy feature of the program - a bookmark. In combination with the ability to record they are invaluable. As you play the file using a special button (4 in Fig.2), you can set some markers to the places that interest you, or for information sharing audio file into parts. In the Bookmarks view, you can then edit their names, as well as to determine the sequence of play, as well as remove excess. To listen to the edited tab in the same pop-up menu in File Manager, select the option "play favorites".

Fig. 6. Selected: Window management and playback

Built-in three-band equalizer was somewhat inconvenient. First, its activation was non-trivial task (we need not just to poke the stylus in the appropriate box, but use a long press). I have rarely seen such equalizers among players for PC and slightly imagine how you can use these. Had to learn at random. I believe that such a choice would create some complications and other users. The program was not as built-in equalizer settings for a particular type of music - the so-called Presets. Despite the fact that I myself am not a fan of them, I think many users would like to see them among other functions. Anyway, after spending some time, I figured with an equalizer and very successfully.

Fig. 7. Equalizer

Compared with other programs, VITO Sound Explorer quite frugal and spends quite a bit of energy when playing a handheld audio - hour battery of my h2210 «lost" only 15%.«Vito Sound Explorer is a fairly competitive program for playing audio files"

Summary

The program is convenient and well organized, easily customizable and easy to use. The quality and functionality of the audio recording VITO Sound Explorer undoubtedly a great program with a fairly intuitive interface, with few exceptions, does not require prior review and study. To reproduce the audio program is also quite competitive. In certain, rare cases, mostly dealing with audio files of large size with an expansion card, the program freezes and have to resort to "soft" reboot. Nevertheless, these minor errors in no way detract from the merits of the program. From the moment I met Vito Sound Explorer, used to have my function to add and sound recording. Instead of agonizing records I now simply dictate their plans on any given day. Every day - one file, divided into tabs. With the bookmark manager I can easily assign names to your bookmarks and sort of dictated the arrangement over time. Often use a program for preserving critical information - Vito Sound Explorer for me now a useful tool, significantly saving time and allowing to effectively allocate their time. Among other things, this means of entertainment, an opportunity to listen to your favorite music. In general, the product from VITO Technology - truly a worthy candidate for the title of "Best Software 2004". We sincerely wish her well deserved victory! Final score: 4.7 out of 5 Download the demo version of VITO Sound Explorer you can as usual in the "Program for PDA" on HPCru or website developer.
