Audacity Rocks!


Audacity is a free, cross-platform software developed by a group of volunteers and distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni who already works at Google, but still the main developer and maintainer of Audacity.

Audacity is easy-to-use audio editor for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and other operating system. It's like Sony Sound Forge where you can also edit audio file, combining them with other audio files or new recordings. What I like the most about this software is that it can remove vocals in mp3's which is great. I always do that if really like the beats of the song. This is a useful tool if you have a project about audio editing or also personal purposes. Hmmmm... I think most of the people already know about this software but does not know how to remove the vocals. Well, here's a link to YouTube for you to know how to get it done.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

One of the world's popular games ever made. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, a prequel of the game Final Fantasy VII in PS1, is an action role-playing game (RPG) developed and published by Square Enix for PlayStation Portable and already released on March 2008.

The player you will be controlling here is Zack Fair who is a 2nd Class Soldier but then promoted to 1st Class Soldier. The gameplay is not that different from FF7 in PS1 or other Final Fantasy games. You still have this materia for you to use and you can also fuse them to come up with a new one. There is also what you call the Digital Mind Wave during the battle. It revolves around a series of reels independently and upon lining up three reels of the same character, a power up is awarded to Zack. It can be a level up for Zack, a summon, or one of the characters it depends on the value that will be matched. So the game is like a Casino huh?

/hmm

In this game, you will also meet the Final Fantasy VII characters including Cloud Strife, Aerith/Aeris Gainsborough, Professor Hojo, the Turks and Sephirot. Remember Nibelheim in FF7? You will also be going here again to fight Sephirot. But he will not be the boss here instead Angeal.

Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia, the latest instalment, is an upcoming game published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and XBOX 360. Released date will be on the first week of December, 2008.

This game is known to you as the acrobatic gameplay, puzzle solving and his sword tricks. I like his move when he runs into the wall and jumps to another and another and swings himself into a pole and another again. Anyway there is no controlling the sands of time here, no weapon upgrades and no special moves to unlock. The prince you control at the outset of the game is the same one you will use to take down the final boss. But don't be worry, you as a prince have a partner and she is Elika. She will have a large role in the game play especially when you are in trouble or stuck on the game. You will also help her by unlocking new magic for her to be strong and also to get past some areas of the world.
