An overview of Thunderbolt Technology
The promise of Thunderbolt connectivity has been around for a couple of years now. Today, Thunderbolt is finally finding its way to the PC platform in the form of motherboards from ASUS and MSI. First unveiled as "Light Peak" at the Intel Developer Forum in 2009, the technology started out as a way to connect multiple devices to a system over a fiber optic cable (hence the 'light' in the name), though the final products have changed the implementation slightly.
The first prototype implementations actually used a USB-style connection and interface. It further required fiber optic cables. When it was renamed to Thunderbolt and then released in conjunction with a new lineup of Apple MacBook laptops, not only did the physical interface move to a mini-DisplayPort connection but the cable was made to use copper rather than fiber. Without diving too far into the reasons and benefits of either direction, the fact is that the copper cables allow for modest power transfer and are much cheaper than fiber optic variants would be.
Thunderbolt's base technology remains the same, however. It is a transfer standard that allows for 10 Gbps of bandwidth for each channel (bi-directional) and concurrently supports both data and display connections. The actual interface for the data path is based on PCI Express and connected devices actually appear to Windows as if they are internally connected to the system which can offer some interesting benefits – and headaches – for hardware developers. The display connection uses the DisplayPort standard and can be used along with the data connection without affecting bandwidth levels or performance.
For current Intel processor implementations, the Thunderbolt connection is supported by a separate controller chip on the motherboard (or a riser card) – and some routing is required for correct usage. The Thunderbolt controller does not actually include a graphics controller, so it must be fed an output from another graphics processor, obviously in this case directly from the Ivy Bridge / Sandy Bridge processors. In theory, these could be from other controllers, but with the ubiquitous nature of integrated processor graphics on IVB and SNB processors, this is going to be the implementation going forward according to motherboard and system designers.

Acer's Thunderbolt capable Win8 tablets
Subject: Mobile | June 11, 2012 - 02:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: iconia w700, iconia w510, acer, tablet, thunderbolt, win8
AnandTech checked out Acer's two new tablets, the Iconia W700 and W510, both of which are designed for Windows 8. The W700 is the more impressive of the two for a number of reasons but the best feature has to be the ThunderBolt port, which allows this tablet to function as much more than a Tablet and might actually provide a decent excuse to use Cloud computing. It is a little large to be held and carried around for a long time, but with the possibility of a low voltage Ivy Bridge processor running the tablet some space must be devoted to spread the heat. The W510 is smaller and comes with an optional keyboard dock and you can check up on its specs as well as more on the W700 in this article at AnandTech.
"My first meeting of Computex wasn't a meeting at all, rather it was Acer's press conference a day before the show officially started. In its press conference, Acer introduced a top to bottom lineup of touch enabled Windows 8 devices."

Computex: Gigabyte Shows Off Thunderbolt Motherboard and Peripherals
Subject: General Tech, Motherboards | June 5, 2012 - 08:04 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: thunderbolt, motherboard, gigabyte, ga-z77x-up5 th, computex
Intel's 10Gbps copper-based Thunderbolt technology is big at this year's Computex show, and Gigabyte was not shy about showing off their Thunderbolt hardware. Not to be outdone by the Intel booth, Gigabyte had on display a Thunderbolt motherboard and no less than 13 pieces of Thunderbolt hardware!
The motherboard in question is Gigabyte's GA-Z77X-UP5 TH which is an ATX form factor board that supports Intel Ivy Bridge processors, dual UEFI BIOS technology, SLI and CrossFireX multi-GPU setups, four DDR3 DIMM slots, six SATA 6Gbps ports, three PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots, three PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots, and a single legacy PCI slot. It also, of course, features a Thunderbolt port.
The list of Thunderbolt-enabled peripherals was impressive – they only seemed to be missing Thunderbolt docks. The full list of devices is available in the table below, but Gigabyte had the Apple Thunderbolt display, several Thunderbolt external hard drives, a Thunderbolt SSD, Thunderbolt-equipped RAIDed NAS boxes from several vendors, and the active Thunderbolt cables themselves (from Sumitomo Electric).

Although Thunderbolt is going to be a niche connection (mostly due to expense of cables and components vs the "good enough" and much cheaper USB 3.0 standard) for the foreseeable future, Computex 2012 is trying its best to drive home the idea that Thunderbolt is not going away. There are definitely more Thunderbolt devices than I had originally predicted to show up at the show in Taipei.
ASUS preps ThunderboltEX add-in card for Z77 and H77 motherboards
Subject: Motherboards, Displays | June 4, 2012 - 09:30 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: Z77, thunderboltex, thunderbolt, h77, computex, asus
Ever since we posted our series of videos with ASUS on the new Z77 chipset and the features ASUS was introducing on their P8Z77 lineup, we have had countless questions about the Thunderbolt header, the implementation and finally the required add-on card to enable it. Well thankfully at Computex this week ASUS is revealing the product that users of the P8Z77 motherboards will need to enable the Thunderbolt connection, the ASUS ThunderboltEX.
Even though we have already had some hands-on time with the new ASUS P8Z77-V Premium motherboard that integrates a Thunderbolt header on the board directly, the rest of the P8Z77-V line has a 9-pin header labeled "TB_header" that will allow users to purchase the ThunderboltEX card and enable the technology in their system. ASUS was the only company to really plan ahead for Thunderbolt technology across the entire series of Z77 motherboards and as such should enjoy the feature benefits of TB for some time.
The ThunderboltEX will plug into the bottom PCIe slot using up the x4 connection and will be required to use a header cable to connect to the TB_header shown above. This header serves a dual purpose - it allows the integrated graphics of the Ivy Bridge (and even discrete graphics) to pass through to the ThunderboltEX card and then out to either a Thunderbolt enabled display or a DisplayPort monitor in a daisy chain of devices. It also allows ASUS to make sure this card is ONLY used on their own lineup of motherboards - sorry, you won't be able to buy the ASUS ThunderboltEX and use it on your Gigabyte or MSI or even your non "TB_header" ASUS motherboard.
You will also have to install an included full-size DisplayPort cable from the output on the Z77 motherboard back panel to the full-size DP input on the ThunderboltEX itself. This allows the pass through of all the video data.
Once everything is configured, users will have a full speed 10 Gbps ready Thunderbolt connection to use with external storage, break out boxes and other accessories coming down the pipeline rapidly. ASUS claims this implementation will still support 6 daisy-chained devices with a seventh device as either a Thunderbolt or mini-DisplayPort monitor. Even better, hot plug support will still be enabled!
ASUS stands committed to the belief that motherboard design is not just about pure spec but ensuring a quality design and overall implementation. This is achieved through many means such as sensible layout, flexible I/O connectivity and robust control over parameters of operation. In addition foresight in design can play an important role. ASUS recently launched the world's first certified native Thunderbolt motherboard with the P8Z77-V Premium. While the Premium leads the industry in respect to connectivity and overall functionality it carries a flagship price for its premium feature set. ASUS had kept this in mind along with thinking about how to best support the advanced new interconnect that is Thunderbolt. With this in mind ASUS is proud to unveil its exclusive Thunderbolt upgrade solution for its line of Z77 and H77 motherboards. The ThunderboltEX card is the first add-on card on the market enabling an easy way to upgrade ASUS motherboards with the latest I/O. This is proof in having foresight in design as compatible boards had to have a special TB header in place to support this upgrade.
Currently, the ThunderboltEX is awaiting Thunderbolt device certification and ASUS will obviously announce when that occurs.
Obviously this implementation of Thunderbolt is not as elegant as the one you will find on the ASUS Premium Z77 motherboard or the MSI Z77A-GD80, but it does enable other ASUS Z77 motherboard users to add the feature to their systems without REQUIRING to the cost up front to everyone. It does remind me a little bit of the first days of ATI CrossFire but I think most of you would agree that this solution is better than forcing users to buy a $450 motherboard.
I don't have any information on pricing or availability but you can be sure as soon as our questions are answered by ASUS we will update this post!

Gigabyte shows motherboard with dual Thunderbolt outputs on-board
Subject: Motherboards, Shows and Expos | June 4, 2012 - 04:14 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: computex, gigabyte, Z77, thunderbolt, Z77X-UP5 TH
Anandtech has the scoop on a new motherboard being shown at Computex this week from Gigabyte that features not just Thunderbolt support, not just a single Thunderbolt port but DUAL Thunderbolt connections. The Z77X-UP5 TH is the first such PC platform to offer support for four channels of the new connectivity technology.
Image source: Anandtech.com
Both ports can run at the full 10 Gbps speeds thanks to the inclusion of a PLX PCI Express bridge chip so bandwidth restrictions shouldn't be a concern. We don't know the pricing or availability of this new board quite yet but Gigabyte is finally jumping into the world of Thunderbolt after the MSI and ASUS announcements last month.

Computex: Intel Showing Off Thunderbolt Controllers and Hardware
Subject: General Tech | June 4, 2012 - 05:28 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: thunderbolt controller, thunderbolt, motherboards, Intel, computex
Anandtech stopped by the Intel booth at Computex 2012 to check out their Thunderbolt display. Intel has three upcoming controllers, with the smallest being only 5.6mm wide. The company is also showing off several motherboards and Thunderbolt peripherals at their booth.
Intel has started off their Computex 2012 showings but showing off several bits of Thunderbolt hardware. They displayed three Thunderbolt controllers in various sizes (and accompanying capabilities), Thunderbolt-equipped motherboards such as this Asus motherboard we were able to get a video demonstration of, Thunderbolt docks, and other Thunderbolt peripherals.
Anandtech was able to get some photos of Intel's booth display. One of the cool shots that they managed to take shows off three of Intel's Thunderbolt controllers. From left to right are the Light Ridge, Cactus Ridge, and Port Ridge controllers. While the Cactus Ridge controller is capable of being a host and supporting attached devices, the smaller Port Ridge controller can only connect to Thunderbolt peripherals and only supports a single Thunderbolt port–this chip will see use primarily in tablets and other mobile devices.
In addition to the controllers themselves, Anand spotted several motherboards on display that all sported Thunderbolt controllers. These boards are further aimed at running Windows powered PCs, which is an important consideration with Apple having a large lead on adoption of the technology. Among the motherboards on display are the ASRock Extreme6 and ASRock TB, ASUS P8Z77-V Premium (LINKAGE), a Foxconn board of unknown make, Intel DZ77RE-K75, Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH, Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH, and a MSI Z77A-GD80 (LINKAGE).
A Thunderbolt Equipped Motherboard: The MSI Z77A-GD80
It does seem like Computex 2012 is the year for an explosion of Thunderbolt devices. As Ryan mentioned on This Week In Computer Hardware, the cost of Thunderbolt devices and the cost of cables versus the "good enough" (and much cheaper) USB 3.0 technology is going to really hold Thunderbolt back from widespread adoption. There is no doubt that Thunderbolt has the potential to be very useful, but the market of people that could really use the technology to it's fullest is relatively small. Expect Thunderbolt to stick around, at least for a while, but it will likely not rival that of USB 3.0 as far as integration with computers and user adoption. On the other hand, if they can get the cost of cables and related hardware down far enough such that the difference between it and USB 3.0 is not much it could take off...
What do you guys think of all the Thunderbolt technology coming out of Computex (and it's only day 1!)?

New Matrox DS1 Dock For Macbooks Uses Thunderbolt
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | June 3, 2012 - 11:08 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: computex, thunderbolt, Matrox, macbook, dock, apple
Matrox has recently launched a new Thunderbolt dock aimed at adding desktop peripherals to Apple Macbooks and Ultrabooks. The dock connects via a single Thunderbolt cable (it does require a separate power source as well) and provides one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, a DVI video output, audio in/out jacks, and a Gigabit LAN port. It will be available for purchase in September with an MSRP of $249 USD.
Matrox has released a new laptop dock called the Matrox DS1 that is designed to pair with Thunderbolt-equipped notebooks and provide several additional connectivity options. The aluminum chassis is reminiscent of a slimmer WD My Book drive because of the book like shape. The front of the DS1 dock is a Thunderbolt input and status LED. On the back of the dock is a DVI output, three USB ports (one USB 3.0, two USB 2.0), microphone input, headphone output, and a Gigabit LAN port. To the far right is a DC power input which means that the dock is a bit less portable than I would like but it is not clear how big of a "wall wart" it will come with.
The company has stated that the aluminum case should protect the dock in just about every use case, and the additional IO certainly adds much needed connectivity to Ultrabooks where available ports are at a premium. Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for Matrox, Alberto Cieri, has been quoted by Apple Insider in stating "The new Matrox DS1 docking station easily enables the creation of an ergonomic workspace and brings much-needed expandability for printers, scanners, storage, smartphones, optical drives, cameras, flash drives, and other peripherals."
The Matrox DS1 will be shown off at Computex 2012 this week in Taipei, Taiwan at Intel's booth (M0410 in the Nangang Exhibition Hall). After that, it will be shown off at WWDC in San Fransico and Infocomm in Las Vegas on June 12th and June 13th to June 15th respectively. In September of this year it will be available for purchase with an MSRP of $249 USD.
Situations like this are where Thunderbolt really shines, and I would not be surprised to see companies outfitting employees with Ultrabooks for mobile use and a larger monitor and peripherals for in-office use (eschewing a separate desktop machine altogether). The price, especially considering Thunderbolt cables themselves are expensive is going to be the most limiting factor for docks like these despite their usefulness.
Editor's Note: Although Tim didn't mention it, one kind of interesting drawback is that this device does NOT include a Thunderbolt pass through, basically preventing users from taking advantage of the daisy-chain capability TB can offer via a single port / connections on the laptop or computer.

Inside the New Oneworld International Business Lounge at LAX
Freshly opened back in June, the new International Business Lounge within the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport is the result of a combined effort from Oneworld alliance partners Qantas, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific. Located on level 5, it can accommodate up to 400 people and is open from 6 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Earlier this month, we swung through to take a look around during an 8-hour layover from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This Website Highlights the Small Towns Most Pass By on California's Highway 1
We all know that Highway 1 runs nearly the entire coast of California, from Mexico up through San Francisco to the Oregon border. Most people drive it in a day or two from San Diego or Los Angeles up to the Bay Area, with many itineraries including stops in Santa Barbara, Carmel, and Monterrey. Sprinkled between these well-known tourist towns is what this writer considers to be one of the best kept secrets in the country, the rural Central Coast of California.
San Luis Obispo has made headlines in recent years for its happy citizens, and San Simeon draws its fair share of attention thanks to Hearst Castle. Still, the Central Coast is largely bypassed and just a drive-through for out-of-state and international travelers in favor of the bright lights and beaches of Los Angeles and the beautiful bay of San Francisco. As a former resident of Santa Barbara, I had the pleasure of exploring this area in all its untouched glory, where the sea, mountains, and vines of wine country all come together along the coast.

LAX Preps for Yet Another Crazy Major Facelift
Earlier this year, LAX, the airport everyone loves to hate, unveiled their newest and flashest digs at Tom Bradley International Terminal and we thought it was pretty cool. Now it's Terminal 1 and 2's turn to revamp, and all with the help of Westfield.
After signing the $300 million check to refresh the tired space that's known as home to Air Canada and Virgin Atlantic (amongst others), airport officials now plan to create a unique experience divided up into three separate "districts." The terminal will be a far departure from the standard hallways you see now, as it introduces a "Commercial Hub" that connects to a Dining Terrace featuring plenty of lounge-style seating allowing travelers to end up in "The Strand," an open, flowing dining and shopping district with a grand, flowing staircase leading to a mezzanine with café that overlooks the common-area below.

Remember when SF decided to close one of its most infamous tourist attractions, the crooked Lombard Street, on certain weekends due to complaints by locals? Well, its rival city in the south, Los Angeles, is now experiencing similar problems with one of its landmarks, the Hollywood Sign.
According to the LA Times, an impromptu task force consisting of eight police officers has formed in response to "growing complaints from residents who say their neighborhoods are being overrun by tourist vans and rental cars drawn to the sign." Problems include double parking and congestion that has resulted in both physical damage and logistical frustration.

Take to the Streets of Downtown LA for the Kings' Stanley Cup Party
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings, as over the weekend they defeated the New York Rangers to win the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in the last three years. The National Hockey League takes to the streets today in Southern California, as it's time for a victory parade. Things take place today—Monday—so be sure to plan an escape plan from work sooner than later.
Although the city isn't necessarily known for its hockey fans there were around 250,000 in attendance a couple years ago, so we can only expect even more today when things kick of at around noon—local time. Downtown is where things will take place, as stuff will start at the corners of Figueroa and West 5th streets, and then the people and players will move south along Figueroa Street and end at LA Live. Things should run for no more than 45 minutes or so, and then there will be a fan rally inside the Staples Center—unfortunately it's already sold out.

The West Coast Won't Get a 'Wizarding World of Harry Potter' Until 2016
While the additions to Universal Studios Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park near completion for a summer debut, progress on the second Wizarding World finally has an update.
It was announced wayyyy back in December 2011 that the west coast would eventually enjoy their own Harry Potter-land at the Universal Studios in Hollywood, but there's no updates since. Sad face!
That is, until now, until Universal Studios dropped the news that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will boast a Hogwarts Castle and will open at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2016, along with their "Transformers: The Ride 3D." That's quite a long time to wait, considering the excitement has been brewing since 2011, but not to worry as Universal Studios will keep you busy with a slew of new rides in the meantime.

This One Los Angeles Street is Home to Three of the City's Best Ramen Restaurants
Tacos and Mexican food may be the first things to come to mind when you think of the food scene in Los Angeles, but don't sleep on the city's other ethnic offerings that, according to The Daily Beast, score big points for their unwillingness to cater to a general audience.
"(The restaurants are) making no concessions to you, and the food thrives because of that," said Kogi BBQ Chef Roy Choi. "They're cooking from the heart. They're not considering, 'Uh, would that be too spicy?' You're just in their part of town. You are the one percent."

Remodeled Qantas Lounge at LAX Set to Open Next Month
Next week, Qantas plans to unveil its newest mega-lounge at LA's TBIT with a completely new design and refreshed service offering.
Looking to create a home away from home, the Flying Kangaroo has revamped the previously tiny lounge that's also shared with British Airways and Cathay Pacific in lieu of a more spacious area. The new escape will offer a wine bar, signature cocktails, and a circular fireplace area to get cozy before flying. Our friends down under at Australian Business Traveler got the inside scoop that the lounge will offer some local fare with a nod to typical LA street-food.

Los Angeles Airport Open and Operating Normal After 4.4 Earthquake
Happy St. Patrick's Day, LA!
Operations are normal this morning at Los Angeles International Airport, despite the city shaking from a 4.4-magnitude earthquake at approximately 6:35am PST. It was originally reported as a 4.7-magnitude, but was downgraded. According to Dr. Lucy Jones of the US Geological Survey, the quake was a shallow one and "epicentered in the Santa Monica Mountains between Westwood and Encino, closer to the Valley side, about five miles below the surface."
The city is conducting an emergency survey by ground and air to confirm that the earthquake hasn't caused any damage, but the LA Times did speak with a Westwood bagel shop owner who noted that "No bagels fell off the shelves and 'everything stayed in place.'"

Leaders in Sports, Business and Philanthropy Join to Raise Money for Epilepsy CURE Photo Op of Local Leaders PR Newswire CHICAGO, Feb. 24, 2014 CHICAGO, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The common bond of the love of a child with epilepsy will bring three of the most influential leaders in Chicago together for the kick-off fundraising event towards the goal of $1.5 million for research for a cure for epilepsy. Chicago Bears General Manager Phil Emery and Ventas Chairman & CEO Debra A. Cafaro will join Susan Axelrod, founding chair of Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), at their corporate breakfast on Feb. 26, from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m., at the Ventas headquarters in Chicago, 353 N. Clark St., 33^rd floor. The breakfast formally launches the fundraising efforts for CURE's 16^th Annual Chicago Benefit. Featuring five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor, the Annual Chicago Benefit will be held on May 19th at Navy Pier. Debra Cafaro will serve as event chair. "Debra Cafaro, Phil Emery and I are just three---among millions----whose lives have been severely impacted by epilepsy," Axelrod said. "I am honored and grateful that they are committing their leadership and passion to this cause. Together, we will protect and save future generations from the heartbreak and devastation that our children endured, by investing in the research that will lead toward a cure" CURE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for epilepsy by raising funds for research and by increasing awareness of the prevalence and devastation of this disease. One in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. "Epilepsy has profoundly affected all those I hold close in my life, but what is more important to note is that epilepsy profoundly affects all of us and its collective toll is extremely heavy," said Emery. "It can happen to anyone at any age and once triggered it places the effected individual and all those around them in a bubble that is extremely tough to escape. I'm honored that through CURE, my family and I have an opportunity to help all individuals escape the consequences of epilepsy by helping raise funds to research and find a cure." "Even as epilepsy has touched our lives,we are fortunate to work alongside our fantastic daughter Katie in supporting research that will help all the families and individuals who suffer from this disease," Cafaro said. "We are grateful to be part of the important work CURE is funding to find a cure for epilepsy." Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE) is the leading nongovernmental agency fully committed to funding research in the epilepsies. CURE is at the forefront of epilepsy research, raising millions to fund innovative research and other initiatives that will lead the way to a cure. CURE's transformative research program has supported more than 160 brilliant scientists and labs in 13 countries. Since its inception in 1999, CURE has raised more than $26 million for research program activities. CURE invests more than 89% of its funds in its mission, among the highest percentage for charities nationwide.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Xbox 360http://www.gameinformer.com/games/castlevania_lords_of_shadow/b/xbox360/atom.aspxCommunity Server2010-06-17T18:04:00ZA Great Evil Rises In The Continuation Of Gabriel's Story/games/castlevania_lords_of_shadow/b/xbox360/archive/2011/03/16/castlevania-trailer.aspx2011-03-16T14:12:00Z2011-03-16T14:12:00Z

Anyone who's played Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was likely in awe of the memorable conclusion, and as such is anticipating the twin DLC packs that will bridge the narrative gaps between the game's ending and epilogue.

The first download – Reverie – is slated to release on March 30, and features Gabriel teaming up with the child-like Laura in order to clean up a massive mess he made in disposing of her keeper. Laura lectures Gabriel in that killing the Lords of Shadow, he unleashed a greater evil upon the world in the form of a demon. To cleanse the world again he must become a creature, like her.

Reverie will set you back 800 Microsoft Points/$9.99. Check out the stylish new trailer below

(Please visit the site to view this media)

Reverie will be joined by a second DLC offering – Resurrection – featuring the continuation of Lords of Shadow beyond the end of the game and revealing Gabriel's true destiny. There's no word on when Resurrection will release as of yet.

GIMeaganhttp://www.gameinformer.com/members/GIMeagan/default.aspxCastlevania: Lords Of Shadow Review/games/castlevania_lords_of_shadow/b/xbox360/archive/2010/09/28/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-review.aspx2010-09-29T03:20:00Z2010-09-29T03:20:00Z

Vampires surround Gabriel Belmont with hisses and bared fangs, lusting after his blood as he waits for the gate to slowly open. Sticky, pale skin clings to their gangly bones and huge tattered bat wings beat as they encroach. Gabriel swings his barbed chain whip widely, rending their flesh and repelling them towards enormous boarded windows. The beasts are merely stunned, but Gabriel capitalizes by snaring his whip on the planks barring the windows. Sunlight drenches the room as he shatters the ancient wood. Vampire flesh flutters from the bone like macabre rose petals. With hope renewed he turns to the gate. It is only halfway open when dusk lays its dark, suffocating blanket. Ghastly bellows herald the second wave of abominations. The warrior's holy blood runs hot in anticipation.

My excitement for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was tempered with apprehension. Ever since Castlevania 64, 3D has been a dirty word for the franchise. To my sublime enjoyment, MercurySteam's collaboration with Kojima Productions slays the series' three-dimensional demons. This feat is accomplished by merging the best elements of some of Sony's biggest hits. This Frankenstein's monster is a formidable combination of God of War's combat, Shadow of the Colossus' boss fights, and Uncharted 2's platforming.

Players have access to a familiar suite of showstopping light and heavy whip attacks, as well as high flying enemy juggling ripped off wholesale from Kratos. Light and shadow magic add dimension to the fluid combat; Gabriel's health is restored with each successful attack when light magic is activated, and shadow magic makes the whip stronger. Alternating between magic types mid-combo is a rush, and the engaging boss fights later on force players to swap tactically.

Just like in Castlevania's 2D offerings, Lords of Shadow delivers a plethora of innovative, expertly balanced boss fights. Gabriel scales colossal titans, searching for and surgically pounding their weak spots to dust. He scrambles to destroy a deadly vampire general before it dines on the bloody contents of an iron maiden. Castlevania also has the widest variety of enemies I've ever seen in a game of its ilk. Chupacabras abduct your powers, forcing you into a game of hide and seek, and burrowing zombies attack from underground as their decapitated heads float after you.

If at any point your interest in combat begins to wane, a puzzle comes to the rescue. These range from mundane crank-turning capers to engaging quagmires, like coaxing a murder of crows towards a scarecrow by shaking their perches. Platforming also breaks up the action. Players shimmy and leap across rock faces Uncharted 2 style, using the chain whip to rappel and scale ledges in style. Geometrical snags occasionally rob these climbs of their fluidity, which is frustrating when a hand grip is crumbling away. In later levels, Lords of Shadow fools itself into thinking it has the 3D platforming finesse of Mario Galaxy. Expect repeated deaths.

Gabriel's cliché quest to resurrect his wife is fraught with both obvious and confusing twists. Each of the 50 levels begins with a monologue by Patrick Stewart's character, many of which would have been better as cutscenes. However, much is redeemed by the game's post-credit ending, which is among the coolest video game finales this millennium.

Castlevania takes a few hours to get rolling, but once it sinks its fangs in you'll be absorbed. After putting nearly 20 hours into Lords of Shadow I emerged satisfied and ready to play again. This polished, action-packed adventure has me ecstatic to see not only what's in store for the next 3D Castlevania, but also what talented developer MercurySteam does next. Don't let the deluge of fall releases or the 3D Castlevania stigma keep you from this amazing quest.

The new Castlevania game has been high on my most anticipated games list since it was revealed last E3. Konami finally allowed me to get my hands on the game, and I got to play enough to get a good idea of how the story and combat fit into the experience. Is this the game that will revive Castlevania for consoles? I'm not so sure yet.

We join Gabriel Belmont on his quest to resurrect his wife as he entered a town being attacked by werewolves. Villagers with torches and pitchforks trail Belmont as he attacks the agile monsters with direct and wide-radius attacks. Peppering in daggers deals easy long distance damage. As Belmont slogs through the mud and rain he's confronted by a werewolf bigger than all the others combined. After dealing some light damage to the beast, it climbs a rock and pounces. Upon pressing a button prompted onscreen Gabriel lifts a gigantic stake and the huge beast impales himself upon it.

Everything from the werewolves' red, glowing eyes to Belmont's whip animations looks solid. Tons of cinematic interludes and quick-time events are sprinkled in to show off the game's moody world. At certain points they seem a bit heavy-handed, but it certainly beats the bland experience of recent past Castlevania console titles.

Next the actions takes Belmont on horseback, riding along charging werewolves at top speeds. The horse appeared to be the embodiment of some protective spirit, which was guiding Gabriel. As of now players can only whip enemies to the left and right while the horse automatically runs, but Konami insists that Belmont will be able to train beasts and ride them at his will in the final build. After leaping across a chasm several werewolves fall into the abyss below, with Belmont's horse dissolving just as he safely lands on the opposite side. Suddenly he's in another encounter with a big bad wolf. Here hit and dodge tactics are used against the big brute while taking out the little guys with light attacks. Everything feels familiar about the combat, and though the controls are tight the execution is feels a little bland right now. Perhaps new moves purchased with experience points will spice up the action in later builds, but the current demo is a little underwhelming.

At its best Lords of Shadow is a watered-down God of War clone. We're seeing the game at an early stage so the huge set piece moments and notable story elements could still be further down the road. The game can only succeed if Konami manages to capitalize on its satisfying combat engine with more interesting enemies and locations. Let's hope it hurries though, as the game is due out this fall.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has lauded his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh, describing him as a "genuine person" keen to resolve all bilateral issues.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a "genuine person" who is desirous of resolving all issues with Pakistan, including the "core issue of Kashmir", Mr. Gilani told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum at Davos in Switzerland.
When Mr. Gilani was asked by an Indian journalist about the possibility of another Mumbai-style attack, he replied: "Ifs and when do not make a story. We see Pakistan as a factor of peace, stability and development in the region," Mr. Gilani said .
Pakistan desires good relations with all its neighbours and if New Delhi has any information about terrorist activities, it can be shared with Islamabad, he said.
The Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba was blamed for the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people. Pakistani authorities arrested seven suspects, including LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, on charges of involvement in the attacks but their trial has stalled for over a year due to technical reasons.
Noting that Pakistan had resumed its dialogue with India, Mr. Gilani mentioned his visit to Mohali last year to watch the Cricket World Cup semi-final at the invitation of Mr. Singh.
"We are in the process of normalising trade relations with India, which will benefit the people of both countries."
Mr. Gilani further said that Pakistan attaches importance to its relations with Afghanistan.
No chance of coup
Mr. Gilani said there was "no chance" of a military coup in Pakistan ever as all stakeholders including the Army, desires democracy and stability.
No state institution, including the military, or the people of Pakistan want a coup and all stakeholders favour a democracy, he said.
Mr. Gilani's remarks came against the backdrop of the worst political crisis endured by his nearly four-year-old government — a stand off with the military over an alleged memo that had sought U.S. help to prevent a possible coup after the killing of Osama bin Laden last year.
Mr. Gilani also spoke on a host of other issues, including Pakistan-U.S. ties following the cross-border NATO air strike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November last year. He described the incident as a "turning point" in ties that created a "bad taste".
Even before the NATO attack, there were a number of other incidents that had strained ties between the two countries.
Keywords: Manmohan Singh, Yousuf Raza Gilani, bilateral relations, Indo-Pak relations, memogate, Pakistan coup

Picture a place where children can play safely in their neighborhood, where people you don't know, say 'hello,' and where once you pass through the entry gates of your vacation home, you are greeted by postcard views of the Pocono Mountains, and the Lake House.
Whether a lover of fine wine, an antique buyer, a zip liner, a ski enthusiast, a chance taker at the slots, a Nascar enthusiast, or, oh yes, a horse lover, and so many more activities, the Pocono Mountains will make that vision a reality.
Situated on Lake Sinca, this well-appointed home is located in the private community of Greenwood Acres, in the Lake Harmony area of Blakeslee, Pennsylvania. It is a 2 story, 2100 square foot lake-front home that has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A group of up to 8 persons can very comfortably occupy this home. Save money by booking by the week!
Located on the 1st floor of our home is the great room that has a gas fireplace and a 50' LCD TV with a DVD player. The modern kitchen has stainless steel appliances, spacious countertops and a center island with seating, and is perfect for cooking. The kitchen is fully equipped with all basic cookware, dishware including a microwave, induction stove, coffee maker, blender and a toaster. Off the kitchen is a formal dining room. Located on the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms which all have queen-sized beds. The den on the 1st floor has a pull-out queen sized bed also. High-speed wireless internet is available. Out back, dine al fresco on our spacious deck, enjoy boating on the lake, or sunbath or swim to your hearts content.
In the summer enjoy the water parks, or fish from our fully stocked fishing lake. For those race fans, Pocono Raceway is a stone's throw away. In the winter, ski Jack Frost/Big Boulder which is 8 minutes or Camelback Mountain for a little more of a challenge and is a convenient 15 minutes' drive. You can also enjoy antique or outlet shopping, also within a convenient driving distance.
What guests have said: 'You have a beautiful home - we had a great time!' 'Thank you for the use of your lovely home. We had such a very nice time there.' '... your house is so close to skiing.'
Fun!: The Lake House overlooks Lake Sinca, conveniently situated between Jack Frost/Big Boulder and Camelback ski areas, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing in the winter. In summer, Camelback becomes Camel beach--an award winning water park with many amazing water rides.

Note: We have a 2 night minimum rental.
More guests comments...
'I just wanted to say Thank You for allowing me to rent your home this weekend (6/29-7/1). It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we were looking for. It is conveniently located near so many things in the Poconos (not to mention Wawa and Dunkin Donuts) -- I think that is a huge selling point as well. It is secluded and definitely gives you peace and quiet, which we all need from time to time. The lake out back and the beach right next door was incredible.'
We chose this location because of its central location to all the wonderful amenities offered in Pocono Mountains. Blakeslee is also very convenient to most travel arteries, yet our location is often referred to by our guests as 'peaceful and private.' The fact that our vacation home is waterfront is a bonus.
Our vacation home is within walking distance to the beach area, yet it is very private.
A perfect lake house for a relaxing weekend away of the hustle and bustle of the city (only 1 hour 45 min drive from NYC). The house is beautiful, very well maintained, clean, and spacious- it sleeps 6 adults VERY comfortably (we were 3 couples, each got their own room with a room with a queen size bed, which was perfect). Super market, liqueur store, CVS and a Wawa convenience store are all a 3 min drive away. We also drove 10 min to the nearest Amish Farmers Market on Saturday. The lake is beautiful and feels very private although the swimming beach is just next door (which is perfect for families with kids and wasn't crowded at all). The house has a paddle boat and a row boat for the guests' disposal and they were also in great shape and served us very well. The kitchen is comfortable and well equipped and the back deck with the umbrella covered outside dining table and the large grill made our weekend dining experience even better. Janet (the owner) is super responsive (even late at night on Friday..) and provided great customer service and was very nice to us in general. I'd recommend this vacation house for anybody who wants some peace and quiet, to sit on a lazy chair looking at the lake (amazing sunsets can be seen from the middle of it, if you care to take the boat out ;)) or wants some safe space for the kids to enjoy a bit of nature. I'd also come back in a heartbeat! P.S. Don't forget to bring your own DVDs, and towels (for bathing, washing, hand towels for the bathrooms and kitchen and dish towels too ;))
From the moment we entered this property, we knew we would ave a great time. It is exactly as described -- clean, inviting, every detail was attended to... And, the view! Amazing. The hosts have made our vacation everything we wanted. It's like being in a mini resort. We enjoyed boating on the lake just off the back yard, cooking in the state-of-art kitchen, to just enjoying family and friends on the deck outside the great room. Hamptons in the Poconos! A great vacation!
We had really a very good time. Everything was perfect. The house was warm when we arrived, the heat on. The house is big and spacious, the rooms are spacious, we were 10 and there was enough room for all of us to sleep comfortably. the kitchen was well equipped we were not in need of anything more that what was provided. Bathroom clean. The only problem is that the water for shower was weak no pressure for the water and it was taking for ever to finish the shower.
The out door was perfect. The kids spent lots of time on the playground even though there was snow even us as grownups we enjoyed it. We enjoyed the walk outside. It was calm and relaxing.
As a family we enjoyed the stay during the winter and we think or renting it again during summer time.
Everything was great. The house, the location, the lake, the amenities, everything. We had a great time, we relaxed and enjoyed the house and the lake. It is a very peaceful place and a very comfortable house.
The kitchen has everythin you need to cook your meals, and even has a BBQ outside.
I would recommend this house for anyone who is looking to get away for a couple of days, relax and enjoy themselves at a beautiful house with a very nice lake view.
The house owners were amazing and really accomodating.
Thank you for everything Janet!
we stayed here for two nights to ski.
there were no proper cooking tools (i.e. cutting knife) available and when inquired, the response was not very helpful.
TV wasn't working properly. The screen was dark and couldn't fix. The owner emailed with the detail instruction to follow to fix but it didn't work and we didn't want to spend more of our precious vacation time trying to fix it so no TV for us for the whole stay. Hope the owner replaces the TV to a new one soon as it seemed like a common problem that the owner was aware of already.
Propane gas ran out in the middle of the night and lost the heat but was blamed for not reporting it earlier.(who knew the house was ran by propane gas and we loose the heat if no gas..and were we supposed to use the fire place only for few hours to prevent this to happen?!!)
person came out to fill it up in the middle of the night so our baby could sleep warm but woke her up and it became a tough night for us regardless.I suggest the owner to mention this to the guests so they can prepare to notice if the fiame disappears from the fire place.
Received the security deposit back more than 30 days after our departure.
We had such a wonderful time at this very well equipped home. It was very clean & had everything we needed to make our ski vacation a great one!!! We even had snow! We skied at Camelback & it was a short 20 min. drive. The house was in a perfect spot, 2 mins. to a grocery store & Dunkin Donuts. There is also a ski store right there as well for any last minute items needed that is a lot cheaper then buying at the mountain. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen every evening. Janet was excellent to work with. She returned emails & phone calls very quickly. If we ever get a chance to visit the Poconos again I would love to stay in this home. It was a lot larger then I thought. Plenty of room for our family of 6 & 2 friends for a total of 8.

Citilet penthouse Marie Claude is a South facing apartment, located in Downtown Cannes very close to the Croisette. Marie Claude has a large private terrace where you can sunbathe from 9 in the morning till 7 in the evening, and it overlooks one of Cannes most exciting and bustling market squares. There are only 4 minutes walk to the sandy beaches or the festival palace. The interior of Marie Claude has been newly renovated and refurbished with high quality furniture in a spacious and simple style. The kitchen has been newly installed and is designed for modern living - an open kitchen with a bar top and all the standard appliances. Marie Claude is a large apartment with spacious style living and dining rooms, both with access to the south facing balcony. It has 2 marble bathrooms and 2 double bedrooms and marble flooring all over. It has a sofa bed in the living room.
We love to share our Citilet apartments with our guests, so that they also have the pleasure of this exciting and vibrant town and they can enjoy the south with all the great food and wine, the amazing sandy beaches, and feel at home in our apartments in Cannes.
Karin Shepherd purchased this apartment in 1997
This Citilet apartment is located right in center of the greatest spot, just by the Gambetta Market with all the great restaurants and feeling of a real provence town, the vegetable and flower market and a stone throw away from the sandy beaches of Cannes.
This Citilet apartment is unique, it is from 1950 and therefor has the style of the 50ties. It has an amazing south facing balcony, big enough for dining for 4-6 people and suntanning with sun from morning till night. And this lovely flower and vegetable market just below with all the fresh fruits that you can imagine.
We will recommend this penthouse to friends or family. The place is very close to the beach, shops and restaurants in Cannes. Still the area of the penthouse is very calm and relaxed.
The apartment is spacious and has a great terrace. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner here.
The property is well equipped, clean and we had good experience with rental service.
We can only hope to come back soon to enjoy the easy and refreshing comfort of this lovely penthouse of Karin.
We tried out many of the local restaurants and found them very good.
There are so many restaurants close to the penthouse and something for everyone to fancy. Local market with fresh food almost every day just 2-3 minutes away.
Close to the Palais and the Croisette, so close to the rue d'Antibes shops, this was a perfect location for us as delegates during the Lion's congress.
We enjoyed the flat and felt like in a 4 four star hotel. We even set up clients meeting on the sunny and large terrace. We worked hard and this apartment was the best way to unplug away from busy hotels. There is everything you need : the apartment is fully equipped and you feel like being at home. I might come back next year for a summer break with the kids.
I had to write this review to say thanks. This Citilet apartment is really great. We had a fantastic week here as a family, in this great apartment for one week during August 2011 and found it to be exactly like the description given by Citilet the owners (which is a rare case). It was ideally located right on the market square, the beach only minutes away and there are a range of good restaurants and cafes literally on the street below and around the corner a buzzing night-life! 5 minute walk to the old town and food area/markets. Cathy the housekeeper was very helpful. Everything was in order, it was very clean and neat, the big terrace was really great like another room where we spend most of our time and had our meals. It also has a Nespresso machine witch I loved! A PS3 for games with a great HD TV, great for our son! We shall be booking the apartment for next summer!!
My husband and I have just spent a week in this beautiful apartment. We had our 8 month old daughter with us, and the apartment was perfect for a small family. The large terrace made ??it possible for us to sit outside in the sun, while she was sleeping. Or she could bathe in a small baby pool in the shade while we sat in the sun beside her. The apartment has everything you need for the kitchen facilities and two fine bathrooms. It was thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, and it was great to have a washing machine, so we could wash during the week. The location is beautiful with the market on your doorstep every morning, a bakery on the ground floor and a really good butcher down the street. It is close to the water, but pulled away from the crowded streets. It's like living more local - a small French village in glamorous Cannes. We can really recommend it
Overall very well located property, good sized apartment with a large terrace, top floor (no lift so be prepared!).
The apartment is rather out-dated however, and the "extras" for the cleaning lady and "bedding / towels" are high given that the bedlinen and towels were old/worn and poor quality for the amount paid. We were a couple plus a nine year old child and this is not our first time in Cannes as a family so have experience with other accommodation.
Positives: (i) location is very good (albeit the road from the station to the flat is rather unsavoury with "adult shops" along the way, (ii) it is 5 mins from the beach and la Croisette, excellent beach clubs and restaurants close by, (iii) 5 mins from the SNCF train station so day trips to neigbouring towns very easy, we visited Villefranche and Eze. (iv) Good sized apartment for the price in terms of living area, terrace and bedrooms. (v) Food market, bakery etc directly outside the building. (vi) close to ferry - we visited Sainte Margeurite (lunch at la guerite highly recommended) and Saint Honorate.
Negatives: (i) poor "client relations", we were directed to the wrong building on arrival, there was no Wifi (which we requested as my husband needed to work and this was never fixed despite being assured it would be). (ii) Very poor kitchen facilities which was a huge disappointment as we were looking forward to taking advantage of the farmer's market in the square and cooking at home a lot - very small kitchen, no oven! so we ended up eating out more than we wanted (which is expensive), (iii) poor quality towels and no beach towels - for EUR20 per person per week (EUR160 for us, plus a EUR140 end of tenancy cleaning charge) we would have expected good quality towels not thin, hard and worn towels, and we had to spend EUR85 on beach towels as could not find any cheaper in the area.
We would not stay here again but still enjoyed our holiday and if budget is an issue, we would say this is good value for money but be prepared for dated bathrooms, poor quality bedding / towels, poor cooking facilities and bring your own beach towels. The terrace is a big plus however, and the bakery / market downstairs meant we had fresh criossants and orange juice on the terrace every morning, watching the bustle of the market!
We have just spent a lovely weekend in Marie Claude Apartment. Easy to find and the steeps up to the top was not a problem at all as they are very wide.
Though is was raining, we could still sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the lively atmosphere from sunrise to sunset without being wet - fantastic luxery experience in luxery surrondings that we can highly recommend to everyone
Citilet penthouse is located on the Cote d'Azur in Cannes, Marie Claude is situated in the centre, across from the beaches and restaurants by the Croisette with only 5 minutes walk to The Palais des Festivals et des Congress. Rue D'Antibes is right next to Marie Claude here you will find all the famous shops. Boulevard de La Croisette, the famous seafront promenade and Rue D'Antibes, the main shopping street are just minutes away. The 100sqm apartment contains a fully fitted kitchen including a dishwasher, ceramic hob, microwave oven, fridge. The apartment can sleep up to 6 people very comfortably. The balcony of 20 sq m, sunny all day, can be accessed from each room. It has lovely views over the terracotta rooftops of Cannes with a little view to the sea. It is ideal for individuals on business trips or anyone on vacation.
