5 A Day Books: Week 4
Read all about our 5-a-day book challenge here and please consider joining in!
Today I am guest posting all about the importance of RHYME as a foundation for early literacy skills over at An Amazing Child. Please click the link to read the article as it's such an important topic and one that is central to the 5-a-day-book challenge. (Also consider joining Kate's amazing The Education Network: TEN as a place to find and share resources, discuss current educational issues and post photos and ideas without the need for a blog to link from.)
Our 5 for this week
If you saw the post about the Castle Story Box that we made this week, you will have seen that C. was using it to retell parts of Jack and the Beanstalk from memory. So I've picked another Nick Sharratt rhyming fairy tale so that we can learn his version of the story by heart. She's loving it already!
Due to the wonderful cardboard box challenge hosted by TinkerLab this week, I've been thinking of stories about boxes and remembered this one from my teaching days. It is old fashioned but always a winner with every class. It is set out in rhyme and talks about all of the crazy, funny skills that clever international cats have, and always ends with "but my cat likes to hide in boxes." Funny, repetitive, rhyming and great for vocabulary, geography and discussion.
This is the first in a series of wonderfully funny, rhyming stories about a cheeky little dog called Hairy Maclary who gets into all sorts of mischief. Fabulous for retelling and predicting the rhyming words.
From the wonderful Dr Seuss, this is one of my favourite books from childhood (although some of the pictures are creepier than I remember!) Great rhymes, very silly, good fun!
Beautiful illustrations, simple and moving text. No rhyme but rich descriptive language that is easy to remember and predict. C already knows about 50% of this by heart so I'm interested to see if she will know it all by Sunday. I'm predicting yes!
Please link up your book choices below (or link to a related post about children's picture books.) Alternatively, just list your titles and ideas in the comments section. I look forward to reading them!

Naysayers be damned — 2012 did indeed mark the ushering in of a new realm of human existence, shifting the world one January morning with the momentous birth of Blue Ivy Carter. Yes, we remember quite vividly the day we welcomed the offspring of Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z into our society, celebrating the amalgam of two of our nation's most beloved artists and entrepreneurs in the form of a 7-pound, oddly-named demigod. And although we couldn't possibly conceive of an era with two Blue Ivys (all that power could be dangerous), it seems as though Beyoncé is strongly considering giving her daughter a little brother or sister soon.
Beyoncé spoke with ABC News about her forthcoming animated movie Epic, speaking on her desire to expand her and husband Shawn Carter's family. "I would like more children," Beyoncé says in the video below. "I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely loved being a big sister," referring to her relationship with younger sister, singer Solange Knowles. Of course, Beyoncé is hesitant to commit to these plans just yet, telling viewers that she will explore the option "at some point. When it's supposed to happen."
So when do you think we'll see the latest addition to the Carter clan? And from what color/plantlife combination will the proud parents borrow his or her name? We're thinking "Chartreuse Moosewood."

Building on a culture of collaborative working the Directors of Edinburgh's twelve leading Festivals came together in 2007 to formally establish Festivals Edinburgh with a mission to support Edinburgh's Festivals in sustaining and developing their position as the world's leading festival city through:
- development and delivery of collaborative projects and initiatives which support growth, product development, leadership and audiences
- acting on behalf of and representing the collective strengths of the Edinburgh
Festivals Edinburgh is a strategic umbrella organisation focussed on over-arching areas of mutual interest. Its sole focus is to maintain the Festivals' and the Festival City's global competitive edge, via major collaborative projects and strategic initiatives.
All of our work is dependent not only on the core Festivals Edinburgh team but on a strong commitment to collaborative working and on a sense of shared ambition and responsibility across all 12 member festivals. The Festivals Edinburgh Board is made up of the 12 Festival CEOs or Directors; and each Festivals Edinburgh workstrand is directed and supported by collaborative working groups comprising of staff members from the Festivals themselves.
Festivals Edinburgh is currently funded by subscriptions from its members and significant public sector support. Its Director, Faith Liddell, began work 2 days a week in January 2007. As of 2014, the organisation employs 9 staff.
As well as being the result of the shared understanding, the will and the ambition of its constituent Festivals and Directors, the creation of Festivals Edinburgh was also galvanised by three key documents:
- The City of Edinburgh Council's Festivals Strategy
- The subsequent Economic Impact Evaluation of Edinburgh's key Festivals
- And finally and most importantly the Thundering Hooves Report
Thundering Hooves (metaphorically named after the sound of the competition catching up with Edinburgh) confirmed the internationally significant role of Edinburgh's Festivals and suggested there are grounds for confidence in the short-term of their pre-eminent position. However, the report concluded that when viewed against the sustained development of some of the actively competitive cities over the next 5-7 years, Edinburgh's current enviable position as a pre-eminent Festival city was less secure. The Thundering Hooves report made recommendations to ensure Edinburgh's role as the major international Festival city is secured into the future.
Although the festivals had been working together for some time and there was already a draft Business Plan for a proposed Edinburgh Festivals Association, it was the medium and long term agenda set out in Thundering Hooves and summarised in the Thundering Hooves Action Plan that has defined Festivals Edinburgh's role as a strategic organisation. The fourteen recommendations in the Thundering Hooves Action Plan can be distilled into four key areas;
- Strategic planning
- Marketing
- Programme development
- Infrastructure
These four areas provide a focus for the work of Festivals Edinburgh and a clear agenda for the work of the bodies it works most closely with. More detail on our strategic priorities can be found here.
Unaddressed they represent significant threats to the festivals and to Edinburgh as the world's leading festival city. Addressed through our own work and in collaboration with our stakeholders and funders they offer significant opportunities.
Strategic Priority: Programmers
Programming new, challenging and innovative work is the lifeblood of the Festival landscape. Joint Programming work looks at opportunities for festivals to collaborate or work collectively on thematic or strategic projects.
Objectives: To support programme innovation and development among Edinburgh's Festivals, by;
- Continuation of the Scottish Government's Edinburgh Festivals Expo - this fund was established in 2008 offering the Festivals large scale programming investment to support Scottish-made work to premier across the Festivals and tour internationally
- Embracing a joint strategic approach to programming in key years working with key countries to encourage increased programming and profiling across Festivals including the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games
- Integrating key programming initiatives with joint marketing initiatives and exploiting the opportunities that working together offer key partners such as key tourism agencies to promote Edinburgh as a natural destination of choice, particularly in partnership with key events such as the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, as we did with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
- Enhancing diplomatic relations with key countries to further the profile of the Festivals and Scotland's national and international profile and positioning; creating opportunities for artists, producers and audiences, as well as government, tourism, business and academia that extend far into the future.
Strategic Priority: Marketing
The marketing activity of Festivals Edinburgh is intended to add value to the ongoing marketing activity of the twelve individual Festivals and is planned in partnership with those festival teams. The added value is seen to lie in working together in markets and through channels where the festivals do not have the resources to operate in separately but see the opportunity of joint activity. For example, our joint PR work is focused on travel and lifestyle media, as opposed to the specialist cultural media which the Festivals undertake themselves.
A number of fundamental principles guide our joint marketing activity and these include - ensure that all marketing adds value to existing festival operations and does not duplicate activity; all work to have cross festival message or opportunity, rather than individual festival focus; ensure plurality in all messaging to counter singular "Edinburgh Festival" perceptions; and primary focus on content-driven digital strategy, ensuring traffic is driven to joint website.
The Marketing Working Group - made up of representatives of each of the 12 major festivals and Festivals Edinburgh staff – has developed a research-driven and customer-focussed Marketing Strategy to guide this work.
Vision: To retain and advance Edinburgh's position as the world's leading festival city
Objectives: To support and lead on the joint marketing and audience development of Edinburgh's Festivals, by:
- directly increasing visits and revenue at Edinburgh's Festivals
- encouraging cross-fertilisation of visits across Edinburgh's Festivals
- developing long-term strategic initiatives that drive growth
- cultivating mutually-beneficial relationships, especially with Tourism and Destination bodies
Strategic Priority: Innovation
An innovation audit of the Festivals recommended that, given the capacity issues typical of most cultural organisations, there would be great potential in establishing a programme of work through the existing collaborative structure tasked with identifying and developing innovation opportunities across the festival community. This was the basis of the Edinburgh Festivals Innovation Lab - also known as festivalslab for short - created in summer 2010.
We define innovation as the practice of taking new ways of thinking and doing the work necessary to move past the ideas stage to realise the resultant benefits. Digital technology is often the medium or enabler for innovation but is not synonymous with it. Innovation can either be incremental – supporting existing models, or radical – defining new models, and it requires practitioners to understand how much change and risk they are willing to experience in pursuit of the benefits. All of which means that contemporary innovation practice in the cultural sector needs to recognise and support not only the technological and business elements of innovation but also the human one
festivalslab is managed through the core Festivals Edinburgh team together with a specialist innovation producer and overseen by the cross-festival Innovation Working Group.
Vision: To become an identified innovation leader in the cultural sector in the UK
Objectives: To identify and develop innovation opportunities across the festival community, by:
- delivering innovative and/or Capacity-Building Projects mapped against audited needs or opportunities
- testing common or new innovation models and processes
- introducing the Festivals and working groups to new networks
- providing innovation-related communications and learning opportunities that support festival staff
- being cultural leaders in innovation and share experiences and learning with the wider cultural sector in Scotland
Strategic Priority: Environmental Sustainability
The Edinburgh Festivals have the strength in terms of reputation and impact to create a powerful platform to focus Scottish and international attention on ways of achieving a sustainable future. We work with hundreds of venues, thousands of artists and entertain millions of audiences each year. By working collectively and supporting each other individually we are aim to reduce our carbon emissions, manage the ways we affect the environment and contribute to the global environmental sustainability discussion.
We're focused on the three pillars of sustainability - finding ways to successfully integrate social, economic and environmental demands, and continue to explore better ways of working.
Through the work of the Environment Sustainability Working Group, which is made up of representatives of each of the 12 major festivals and works closely with Creative Carbon Scotland we have developed a robust Environmental Sustainability Strategy which guides this area of work.
Vision: By 2020 Edinburgh's Festivals will be firmly established as excelling in environmental sustainability, by taking responsibility for their environmental impacts and pioneering initiatives to reduce their carbon emissions.
Objectives: To ensure the environmental sustainability of Edinburgh's Festivals through working together and individually by:
- embedding environmental practice into the core business of the Festivals
- understanding and communicating the carbon profile of the Festivals by measuring, reducing and reporting on their direct and indirect environmental impacts
- exploring, developing and promoting the role of the Festivals, the arts and the cultural sector in changing public and industry behaviour through practice, research, innovation and communication
Strategic Partners
The work of Festivals Edinburgh, the ongoing success of Edinburgh's Festivals and the continued development of Edinburgh's reputation as the world's leading festival city is made possible by the enlightened advice, support, investment and confidence of a number of key partners and funders. The transformative Thundering Hooves report (2006) was indeed commissioned in partnership with the Festivals by these key national and city partners: Scottish Arts Council (now Creative Scotland), the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC), the Scottish Executive (now the Scottish Government), EventScotland and Scottish Enterprise.
It was undertaken by international consultants AEA/Palmer Associates with the purpose of examining the competitive position of the Festivals in Edinburgh and to make recommendations on the strategic developments required in order to maintain the global competitive advantage of Edinburgh's Festivals. The report contained 14 key recommendations and two key city-wide strategic groups take ownership of, oversee and facilitate the implementation of those recommendations:
1. Festivals Forum: The establishment of a Festivals Forum for Edinburgh was the first recommendation in the Thundering Hooves Report. The Festival Forum was established by the City of Edinburgh Council, Scottish Government, Scottish Arts Council/ Scottish Screen, Event Scotland, Visit Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and Festivals Edinburgh in March 2007. It is a high-level, strategic commission bringing together representatives of those with a stake in maintaining the global competitive advantage of all Edinburgh's Festivals. Membership of the Festivals Forum is at CEO level to enable strategic decision-making and includes representation of all the stakeholder agencies named above. The festivals are represented by Faith Liddell as Director of Festivals Edinburgh. The involvement of independent members in the forum is invaluable and relates directly to the Thundering Hooves recommendation to include external members with a long term perspective on the internationally competitive economic and cultural standing of Edinburgh and Scotland. In April 2008, Susan Rice agreed to take on the role of chair and the other independent members drawn from the business, community and culture sectors are John McCormick, Dr Andrew Cubie and Michael Hayman
2. Thundering Hooves Steering Group: The Thundering Hooves Steering Group, comprising officers from the commissioning stakeholders and representatives from Festivals Edinburgh, work together to take forward the recommendations contained within the report. A Joint Implementation Plan was developed and the steering group co-ordinates the delivery of this, with the appropriate organisations taking a lead on different actions.
A number of other highly productive partnerships with city stakeholders and memberships of key industry groups are essential to the ongoing success and development of Edinburgh's Festivals. These include:
- Joint marketing and PR campaigns with both VisitScotland and Marketing Edinburgh.
- Ongoing support and championing of The Audience Business's Edinburgh Pilot Portal Project
- Strategic representation within the Edinburgh Tourism Action Group and Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce's Tourism Policy Group
- Membership of City of Edinburgh Council's City Dressing Group to support the implementation of a City Dressing Strategy for the City
- Membership of City of Edinburgh Council's Connected Capital reference group aiming to transform Edinburgh into a 'Super-Connected City' by delivering high speed broadband and wireless access through the Connected Capital Programme
Equal Opportunities policy
Festivals Edinburgh is formally committed to equal, fair and proper employment and opportunity, and we will implement formal procedures as necessary to ensure this. We also aim to work actively to include the broadest possible representation of the population in our projects, engaging with the widest possible range of audiences, artists and project partners in all areas of our work to maximise access to the combined offering of our membership as appropriate. Festivals Edinburgh will not tolerate behaviour that contravenes this commitment. We are committed to making full use of the talents and abilities of all employees, prospective employees, freelance staff and project managers to providing a productive and supportive working environment, and to striving to work according to best practice at all times.
Festivals Edinburgh recognise that employees may come from ethnic minority groups, or have special needs arising from cultural, religious or language differences, and we will work to ensure that these needs can be met. Line managers should ensure that individual needs around religious prayer times, holidays and culture (e.g. traditional dress) are respected and addressed - employees should discuss how this can best be achieved directly with their line manager. All employees doing equal jobs shall be treated equally in respect of pay and other conditions of their contracts of employment, benefits, facilities or services.
An annual review of our Equal Opportunities commitment and its effectiveness will be carried out by the Director, and any recommendations for change will be considered by the Board of Trustees.

This project is composed of three segments: the LED array, the simple circuit, and the lamp body. This is a good project to learn about wiring LEDs in series without resistors. The simple circuit, which combines the venerable 555 Timer with a Darlington array, will introduce you to the principle of Pulse Width Modulation. As for the lamp body, that's where your maker chops come in! Charles used PVC components purchased from plumbing and hardware stores to build his minimalist desk lamp. You are free to follow this design, or customize your own to suit your space and needs. Some modifications that come to mind include a gooseneck, using clear plexi so all the wiring and components are visible, or rewiring the circuit to be battery powered for true portability. The possibilities are endless!

In 2006, the country manager for Alpen Bank in Romania, Gregory Carle, considers whether to recommend the launch of a credit card business. The firm rejected the idea several years earlier because of poor economic conditions in Romania. However, Romania is experiencing a period of economic growth after joining the European Union and Carle believes it is time to reconsider the opportunity despite continued skepticism within the company. Carle faces several important decisions before he can present his plan to the head of International Consumer Businesses. He must decide whether to launch a credit card business in Romania, how to position the credit card, and how to acquire new customers most effectively. This case is appropriate for use in the product policy module of a general marketing course, in a new product course, or in a services management course. Students are required to complete a quantitative assignment as part of case analysis.
learning objective:
1. To expose students to key elements of services marketing, especially target market selection, acquisition cost, and lifetime value of a customer. 2. To introduce students to international marketing issues.

Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones
"Summary of my experience with these: Build: Feels cheap and plasticky. In fact the box appears better made than the earphones. :) Treble: Very detailed, forward and sharp. No real sibilance BUT is very fatiguing after even after short listening sessions Mids: Again very detailed but there appears to be some forward and some recessed elements depending on the track you are listening to. The..." --Krisman
Brainwavz Beta (V2)
"Very nicely balanced overall. Bass very slightly lacking, but this is a matter of taste. Lots of tips to choose from, and came with foamies! Cheaply put together though. Loads of microphonics. Clip is useless. Thought I heard some imbalance but it went away with burn-in. Questionable quality? After further burn-in, my Betas became very bass..." --inline79
Brainwavz Delta
"Before I start, I am no audiophile and have very, very limited experience with good headphones/earphones. This review is more of just my impressions as someone with almost nothing better to compare it with. I got this for less than £10, which was an amazing steal, considering how good they are. The packaging is nothing special, just typical retail type mostly-transparent small plastic..." --Philliphobia
Brainwavz M2 In-Ear Headphones
"i'm not sure what brainwavz trying to do with their m series. if they already can produce earphones like r1, s1, s0 why they even bother with m series ? okay, despite it's big downsides, at least m5 has a big bass. so what actually m2 has got to offer ? weak bass, no instrumental details due to lack of layers, just a little treble & soundstage which is bigger in overall size than already..." --vaziyetu

" Me: I am a 21 year old Engineering student living in a small town in India. I would like to call myself a music enthusiast, rather than an audiophile. I was inspired by music since childhood, and as the time passed, the passion of music grew in me, and that subsequently led me to join Head-Fi. Eventually, I found the pleasure of listening to music mainly by the HD600 and recently, by the..." --YoYo JoKeR
Brainwavz M4 In-Ear Headphones
"refer to my Xiaomi Pistons review for my detailed thoughts about this one, this two are indentical in general. the only difference between them is the frequency balance. M4 comes with some midbass frequencies amplified a little bit which helps the naturality of the bass sounds usually, but of course that is also depends on the songs played. so if you feel distortions or overly strong bass i can..." --vaziyetu
Brainwavz M5
"after M4 & Xiaomi Piston 2 (they were similar), i finally got a M5 to audition. i listened it for 2 days and here's my thoughts: soundstage is the same again, small in every aspect. bass, treble, vocals, mids everything placed just near another and the bass is too deep & powerful for this kind of soundstage. when you open up the bass, the result is going just worse for everything else...." --vaziyetu

" I bought the Visang R02 version. No different sound wise, just sold through them. My Second IEM I bought and the first into the true Head-Fi Market. And I love them. Packaging: Nice suave packaging on show here. A medium sized black and blue box with the IEM's showing through the clear plastic window on the outside. Opening them, the cable sits in their clamshell case with the..." --LucasRobert0897
Brainwavz R1
"I'll start of by saying these are a pair of really respectable headphones and these are my subjective opinion on them. At their price point, I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything better without going higher in pricing They perform well for their price. All in all, a good pair of headphones just for casual everyday listening of music. These are also the version 2 I believe as they..." --cjs001
Brainwavz R3 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones
"Quick Summary: While these earphones have a really "unique" design to them, once you get over this, you will be rewarded with a beautifully balanced sound. I would put them on a similar tier as the very popular, and head-fi favorites Hifiman re400 and the Vsonic GR07. This is very high praise, let's find out below! I want to thank Brainwavz for their patience and for sending a pair of..." --Tom22

Cue Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Cue Online Overview
Cue Online offers an in-depth pool experience by giving players very detailed control over their shots. It supports four classic billiards games and up to eight players per table. The ability to aim every shot just as you like it makes Cue Online a deeply skill-based game with little left to chance. This is a boon to those looking for a technical billiards simulator, but it comes with a steep learning curve, especially for players with no prior pool experience. Luckily, a short tutorial and a rewarding practice mode are available to teach newbies the ropes.
Game Types:
8-Ball - The most popular pool game across the world. Played with sixteen balls, including a white cue ball, 7 striped balls, 7 solid balls and the black 8 ball. Each player (or team) is assigned either the striped or solid set of balls depending on which type is first pocketed. The ultimate goal is to pocket the 8 ball, but this can only be done after one player (or team) has pocketed their set of balls in order.
9-Ball - Popular in tournament play, 9-Ball requires 9 numbered balls and a cue ball (for a total of 10.) The objective is to pocket the 9 ball but the cue ball must strike the lowest numbered ball on the table before hitting any other balls. Additionally, any ball (including the cue ball) must make contact with the rail to avoid a foul.
14-1 - Also called straight pool, this is the most traditional and classic pool game. Players can pocket any ball at any time but must call which ball and pocket they're aiming for prior to each hit. Each legally pocketed ball earns the player 1 point. Whoever reaches a predetermined number of points wins the match.
Snooker – An interesting cue game popular in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations, Snooker requires a total of 22 balls including 1 cue ball, 6 colored balls, and 15 red balls. Players compete to earn points by pocketing balls. Red balls are worth 1 point while colored balls are worth 2-7 points each.

Cue Online Full Review
By Erhan Altay
Cue Online was released to open beta in the middle of May 2009, making it the second major, free-to-play pool game after Carom3D. Cue Online is published by GamesCampus, the same portal that hosts other sports-related MMOs, including Shot Online and MLB Dugout Heroes. Compared to other titles, Cue Online is a tiny download; at only 38 mb the client is easy to obtain even for those on slower internet connections. The game is a true billiards simulator, with intricate controls and the ability to line up each shot just as you like. To find out if Cue Online is worth a shot, read on!
Hit The Pub
After a brief download and installation process, players are ready to hit the pool room but must first create a character. There are currently four avatars to chose from in Cue Online, three males and a single female each with a different distribution of five stats. These stats include Strength, Control, Bridge, Masse, and Jump. Beginners are best off choosing the character with a balanced distribution of these stats, though more experienced players can experiment with the other options. As far as appearances go, it makes little difference which character you pick since players are not visible while playing games, only hovering pool sticks are shown. A brief, optional tutorial runs players through the basics and can be repeated at any time through the lobby. The controls are not difficult to understand, but require a lot of work to master. The mouse controls the camera, hitting 'ctrl' brings up the strike meter, which lets you chose how hard you want to hit the ball with the cue. Holding shift zooms in on the ball and lets you align your shot by choosing where the cue will strike the ball. Aiming low will cause the ball to bounce, while aiming to the sides will cause the ball to curve. Mastering these techniques is the true test of skill in Cue Online.
Chalking it Up
The tutorial also introduces players to 'chalking', which is the process of rubbing that little square thing on the end of the pool stick. Players have to keep their equipment well chalked to maintain proper surface contact with the cue ball. Chalk bricks come with a limited number of uses, which means gamers will have to purchase new ones as they run out. This serves as one way of keeping players coming back to the game's item store. Even many of the sticks and other equipment players purchase at the shop comes with a time frame or a limited number of uses. The best sticks and chalks are more expensive than the standard fare, but offer small advantages. During my first few games I forgot the chalk my pool cue (which caused me to make several poor hits), but after asking for help I was informed on how to equip the chalk brick. By hitting 'c' players apply chalk, but may have to repeat it several times to get the stick to 100% readiness. Simply purchasing the chalk is not enough; while in a game, players must open their character info menu and drag the brick to the left of the screen to equip it. Hopefully having read this will save some of you a few minutes of frustration.
Pool From Across the World
Cue Online supports a total of four game types, some of which players may not be familiar with. Almost everyone has heard of 8-Ball, the most popular form of pool enjoyed across the world. But other variants such as the fast-paced 9-Ball and the old school 14-1 (aka pocket any) make an appearance. Most interesting of all is Snooker, a strange variant popular in the United Kingdom and former British colonies, such as India. I've provided the general guidelines to all four game modes in the overview section, but prospective players are encouraged to do further research before jumping into a game for the first time. The single game server is broken down into many channels, each catering to a different skill group. Novice and beginner rooms are the most populous since the game is still new, but there are several mid and expert level channels for those who have made it that far.
The Long Haul
Leveling up in Cue Online takes quite some time, but not because the experience rate is slow; its mainly because gameplay in general is so slow. This is pool, after all. It is a turn-based game where each player takes the time to line up his or her shot perfectly. Up to eight players can participate in each game, but I would not suggest playing anything other than 1v1s simply because each rotation takes far too long. Leveling up earns players attribute points, which can be distributed among the five stats. This adds some customization to the game without unbalancing it. Since the game client is so small, the game's graphics are barebones. The lobby screen is very plain and when players start a game, their characters are not displayed. All that is visible is a pool table in the middle of a rather fancy looking club room with a rug under it. The graphics for this area are pretty impressive – I even zoomed out and spun the camera just to admire the design, but it can get boring after a while. Perhaps if more environments were added in upcoming patches it would spice things up a bit.
Final Verdict: Fair
Cue Online has everything dedicated pool fans are looking for. Detailed controls leave nothing to chance, the better player will generally win a match. Casual players can enjoy a single game once in a while, but anyone who isn't already a pool enthusiast will quickly tire of Cue Online.

Rise of Immortals
Rise of Immortals Overview
Rise of Immortals is the latest Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) style game announced. The gameplay is similar to titles like DotA, League of Legends, Avalon Heroes, and Realm of the Titans. Rise of Immortals will offer both team-based competitive modes, and cooperative options. What sets Rise of immortals apart from other games in the genre is the level of persistence. Players will progress the more they play a character, gaining access to new items and more. Sign up now for the closed beta, and keep an eye on the game's development!

Rise of Immortals Review
There's a special kind of thrill in player versus player games, the kind of adrenaline that comes from knowing that your opponent has as much skill, knowledge, and drive to beat you as you do for them. Perhaps that's why competitive arena games – based on Aeon of Strife or Defense of the Ancients – have become so popular lately. As the demand rises, new players are edging into the field, and that's where Petroglyph's Rise of Immortals comes into play. Akin to games like Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends, Rise of Immortals offers a slightly different twist to the class battle arena.
There Can Be Only One
Rise of Immortals offers a different lobby style than most games, and it starts with hero ("Immortal") selection. Before gaining access to the game's lobby to join games or peek at queues, you'll be prompted to choose a hero to log in with. The game currently offers only twelve heroes, but the core selection balances all roles, like support and tank, across a variety of skill levels. Some heroes are available for free as limited play, but like other free-to-play arenas, players must eventually purchase a hero through one of the game's two currencies (earned or cash shop).
On the immortal selection screen, you can clearly see and read about each Immortal's five abilities, and see their role, damage types, offense and defense, and their general skill ranking. Once you've played an Immortal, this screen will also show the Immortal's stats as you've built them. Players are welcome to own and play multiple Immortals; there is no single "character creation." However, you must log out and back in to change Immortals, instead of choosing before each battle.
Around the Hub
After you've chosen an Immortal to play with, you'll be teleported into the game's single persistent world area: the Social Hub. This modest area is composed of a single area with several sections where players can hang out, chat, and meet each other between games. This area is also where the game's vendors are located for consumables and artifacts. Outside of waiting around, you can also join a game queue here through the "Fight!" button at the top of your screen, and manage your character's inventory and disciplines.
Permanently Progressed
In Rise of Immortals, each Immortal has two experience levels: the in-match tactical level, and the character's persistent level. Tactical levels are earned each match as the player kills creeps (AI controlled enemies), other players, and their towers, cap at 20, and reset after each match. These tactical levels determine the character's base stats during the game, and unlock what skills they can use during the battle.
Persistent levels, on the other hand, are earned by playing matches and do not affect in-game progress directly, although they will generally help determine what "level" of player you will be fighting against. Persistent levels also gain "discipline points," which are used in a three tree talent system. This system lets players put points into bonuses that are either Offensive, Defensive, or Immortal Specific. These bonuses always carry into the game, and include the ability to unlock an Immortal's fifth "signature ability." These points can be redistributed as needed between matches.
One final thing that Rise of Immortals offers that's persistent: artifacts. These purchasable items are permanent, but only four can be equipped at one time into battle. These offer an initial starting advantage in the games, especially if gold becomes tight in a match, but are less powerful than the temporary artifacts purchased in a match. An artifact collection also exists to satisfy the achiever.
Picking a Fight
Once you're ready to fight, clicking the "Fight!" button at the top of the screen in the hub will display the game's multiple modes, average wait time, and current number of players. The details of what players are waiting in queue can be viewed by clicking the Details arrow in the bottom right corner of the queue screen. You can only queue for one type of match at a time, and you cannot choose specific games to join.
While the game does not offer a tutorial directly, a "1vE" solo mode is available for players to practice and get comfortable with their skills and Immortal, as well as learn some of the abilities of the randomly selected Immortal they battle. For those who prefer to battle AI-controlled enemies, the game offers two skill levels of 3vE. PvP players can team up from anywhere from 2v2 to 5v5, although the 3v3 and 4v4 matches have been disabled during beta due to queue populations.
Driving a Lane
Matches in Rise of Immortals behave much like other battle-arena games, although with a slightly slower pace. The basic goal of each match is to destroy all the enemy's towers to win; this is done by pushing down "lanes," and using your own creeps, towers, and skills to your advantage while preventing the enemy from destroying your towers in the process. Each type of match has a different map layout designed to balance the playing field and challenge players to work together while being split across the map.
Games start out slow, usually, and involve more hanging back and gaining veteran and tactical levels to power up the character, the creeps, and the character's skills. Players also can buy temporary artifacts in a match with earned gold to power up their character with special passive bonuses. As players get stronger, PvP becomes the forefront of the match. Like any arena game, teamwork and map awareness are key. Rise of Immortals plays in a very classic AoS style, and players of League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth will feel right at home.
Keeping it Balanced
Any competitive PvP game has one major challenge to face: balance. Rise of Immortals works to provide balance in a few ways. First, the matchmaking system not attempts to pair relatively even skill levels to keep teams balanced and to keep players of a relatively same skill level together. The matchmaking system's second defense is to prevent more than one Immortal from being on the same team; that is, while two teams may face off and each have a Psychozen, neither team will have two Psychozens due to the balancing system. Unfortunately, this system lengthens queue times. Petroglyph also works actively to tweak and balance each Immortal's skills so that no character is too powerful. Although they haven't reached that balance point just yet, the game remains fairly balanced and some of the more powerful characters remain in the limited free-play selection.
Final Verdict: Good
Rise of Immortals is built with the same, solid formula that games like League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth were also built on. Although the game offers some permanent progression tweaks such as persistent levels, talent trees, and artifacts, these features work toward improving character investment without ruining game balance. While a few of the gameplay controls and elements are a little clunky, such as using targeted abilities in a team fight or scrolling the map, the games are generally themselves solid, enjoyable, and balances. What really hurts Rise of Immortals the most is queue times: a serious lack of population, popularity of modes like 3VE, which awards almost as much experience as the 5v5 PvP modes, and the game's built in balancing system means that some modes get played only once every few hours. Overall, Rise of the Immortals is not terribly different, but if you're looking for a new twist on the DotA-style genre of online gaming, it's worth your time.
