Buy New and Used Video Games Online

For those of you who love to go gaming in some Play station or an Xbox, one needn't enumerate the merits of video games. There are thousands of games and you always feel you haven't had enough of it. They are quite expensive as well which is why buying a much anticipated new video game may not be easy for you. You might rue it but that's a fact.

However, there is a great chance for you to satisfy your desire of playing the newest ones, provided you are eager enough to wait for a little longer. What I'm suggesting to you is that you can get new and used video games at much cheaper rates if you are prepared to wait a little longer.

There are many new and advanced games which only heighten the fascination in every game lover. Even if you are not used to playing them, one single experience of the Xbox, Play station, Game cube, or some other video game, might change it all. These wonderful games which have astonishing real life-like graphics and booming sounds are sure to blow your minds away into another world. It is very easy therefore to fall prey to the lure and charm of these games. This is why you should have a bit of patience.

Nowadays the games have become so excellent that it is a matter of pride to buy them the earliest. But you will have to spend a lot of money then. Any of the video game parlors will cost you a lot of money. Used video games are often available at a price much less than the original. This means that you can get twice the number of games at the price of a new one.

Yet another way of getting a cheaper rate is by renting them from rent parlors. However, there you are restrained by time and you cannot keep it with you for playing whenever you want. One of the best ways therefore is to search online for new and used video games. There are websites which sell these kinds of games. Some stores may be selling over 3 or 4 thousands of the very popular ones. So there is no dearth of choice in the online market.

You can also download them from the Internet freely. So log on to the websites of online stores and buy the video game of your choice at half the price or download it freely. Next time when you long for a video game you will know what to do.

SPACE.com - For meteor observers, the presence of an almost-full Moon cast a bright pall on this month's performance of the Geminid Meteor Shower, normally one of the best meteor displays of the year.  But for a wild card, another very good meteor shower may be right around corner.  And for this one, the Moon will not play a factor at all.

Introduction to Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 or StarCraft 11 is the sequel to the very popular StarCraft game, which is a video game for personal computers. The original game was released by Blizzard entertainment in 1998 and in May 2007, it announced its plans to develop the sequel. The new game should be compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X. Although no release date has been announced, players who are wondering what this sequel will be like can play a sample demonstration of the game on the Blizzard website.

The sequel to StarCraft 1 is intended to be even better than its predecessor. It still features the three races of Terrans, Protoss and Zergs, so you won't have to get become familiar with any new or additional races. However, it is designed to be more user friendly for multiple players. The new features include an new deign of Battle net, a ladder system for ranking the games and a capability of matching players with those of their same skill set. There will also be an improved replay function in which you can record the games you play and review them later.

You will still be able to experience cut scenes, which are pre rendered and highly cut CGI movies when playing the game, just as in StarCraft 1. You will see an improvement in this as well because the scenes will be of better quality. There will also be advanced scenery allocation and the terrain of the planet will be more detailed. Floating space platforms, with planets and asteroids in the background, will help to make the scenery more vivid and real in its appearance.
In the new game, there will be a difference in the single player aspect. Instead of the briefing room of the original game, this sequel starts with an interactive version of the battlecruiser Hyperion. The campaigns are also non-linear in which Raynor can take jobs for pay and use that money to purchase additional supplies. However, the end result will remain the same to keep a linear storyline, although the Zerg and Protoss campaigns will be different from that of the Terrans.

When this new game is released to the market, you will receive a very sophisticated game editor with your purchase. This will give you more freedom in creating custom maps and mods. Some of the same units of the original game will be present in StarCraft 11, but some have new features and capabilities added. One example is the Protoss zealot, which will have the ability to move rapidly when in combat. Some changes are also influenced by the success of Broodwar. In the video demonstration this new game, it is clear that you will be able to interact with the game environment in more complex ways. There will be units that can travel over different types of terrain or have the ability to teleport over short distances when they need to escape. Some of the Protoss units will have the ability to be deployed instantly into battle by means of a specialized structure.
