  • Ubisoft working on “Heroes” game

    Heroes is one of my favourite TV series . With the gaming industry now turning to TV Series for there inspiration , it was not a surprise to me when this was announced .

    The game will be developed by Ubisoft who have an aggrement with Universal Pictures that will allow them to make a game based on the series . The game is expected to available for all the major platforms in 2008 . I think the series has all the ingredients for the making of a successful game . The story line is immersive , the characters are awesome . The game will give the users an option to interact with the huge universe of Heroes so definately it is going to appel to both gamers and the fan of the series .

    And we can expect Ubisoft to do justice to the series with this game . There previous games such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance was well received with the fans . Now i guess the next in the line is going to be Prison Break . What say guys ?

  • KlipFolio - Personal Dashboard and Sidebar

    KlipFolio is the world’s smallest dashboard and sidebar that can be used as an alternative to Windows Sidebar . You can either employ it as a dashboard on your desktop or use it as a sidebar on either side but i feel the dashboard looks more cool . There are around 100 klips that are available for download that you can use for a variety of purpose .

    The klips are of different variety including news , sports , weather which keeps you upto date and also CPU usage, google search etc to monitor your computer . It also has a built in RSS support system so you can also keep track of your feed .
