Regarding the Clients section, how can I alter the "Our Clients" text on the home page?
Also, on the Clients page, how do I made the subtitle different. For example, I want the main menu to read Clients, but I want the subtitle to say Sampling of Clients. I would also want the home page section to say Sampling of Clients.
In the theme panel under the "home" tab, scroll down to the "Clients" subheading and there is a setting called "Clients Heading Custom Text" where you can alter this.
I think it might not have been there in the first version, so if you don't see it you might have to update your theme.
For the clients page this is also in the Theme Options under the "clients" tab where it says "Clients Archive Subheading".
Great. Thanks.
Appearance | Theme Settings | Portfolio | (Media Width, Content Width):
What do you expect those settings to do? I thought they would affect the relative width of the image and the text on the page:http://www.example.com/?portfolio=portfolio-item-name
(That is, the page the presents the detailed information about an item in a portfolio, similar to http://themeforest.net/item/thunder-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/5466969)
Or, is there a way to make the content follow (below) the featured image rather than appear in the 25% column to the right of the image?
These settings do change the width of the media container (slider, featured image, video..etc) and the content container (your post content).
To make the content follow below set both these options 100%.
But you can also change that on a per-item basis – http://cl.ly/image/243P0p003D0P
The hint you gave on changing it on a per-item basis (Edit Portfolio Item | Select Layout) does work for me to make content follow below. Thanks!
However, I respectfully disagree: changing the Appearance | Theme Settings | Portfolio | (Media Width, Content Width) settings does not change the width of the media container and the content container. At least not for me. I changed it from 75/25 to 50/50, saved it, and updated my view of the page—no effect.
I've re-tested locally just to make sure nothing was messed up in the last update and those settings are still working for me.
Make sure you aren't forgetting the % symbol! Because you could also use "px" values.
Ex: http://cl.ly/image/021b3a091J36
important: The right content container has a 1.6% left margin on it though, so 50%-50% wouldn't work, it should be 49.2% and 49.2%.
Hi! How to import sample data? I want to my site looks like your dem0-preview. Sorry for my english
Your import is fine, you just haven't setup your homepage as mentioned in the documentation files. Please read through the docs!
It's also mentioned in the FAQ:
How to make the first accordion not to be opened?
Accordions don't work that way, an accordion always has the first one open.
If you want them all closed by default I would recommend using the toggles instead.
Hi there!
My site: http://www.buyingsellingmelbourne.com. I'm using latest version of Wordpress/Thunder.
It's a question and answer site. My idea was to have a full width page with a suite of backgrond images – one per question, and a link to a single page answer.
The images are 2000px wide by 1000px high. Fixed, not paralax.
It think it will look great on a desktop, but on my iPad and iPhone the background images do not scale. The image is really, really zoomed in, to the point where you can't tell what the image is, it's just coloured, blurred pixels.
Is there a way to make this background image responsive? So the image is scaled to the width of the smartphone or tablet viewport?
Hi there,
Sorry for the delay!
You'll want to use the "stretched" style. The fixed image will always be in a fixed location, while stretched sets the image to "cover" so it will always be 100% of the width of the container.
Personally though, even though it might look cool, having large images like this will really slow down your site. I would advice against it and cook up some other cool layout. Just my opinion!
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'stretched' style. In the Visual Composer, when I click 'edit background area', there are only three background style options – Parallax, Fixed and Repeat.
Okay I get it, I just added "stretched" it into the short code in Classic Editor mode and now it's looking better on iPhone and iPad. Less zoomed in. BUT I've lost the cool layered effect (image moving under the type). Is possible to have both? Thanks
If you don't see the "stretched" option it might be because your theme isn't updated to the latest version
It's pretty hard to have the image stretched and have the parallax effect, it can cause issues, which is why I've avoided it. I'll try and look into some updates for the next version to see if its possible to fix the bugs and get a really nice parallax that looks good mobile (I think I might be able to do it with some CSS3). Thanks for the suggestion.
Love the theme, would like to be able to easily specify the sort orders for different layouts (e.g. sort the Portfolio by client name, rather than date added). How might this be done? I can't find anything in the theme or discussed here.
Also it would be amazing to be able to 'duplicate' a custom post type easily, e.g. creating another type that looks and works like the Staff section but contains different content. Is that easy to do in a child theme?
To sort the main portfolio would require you to alter the query for that archive and/or taxonomy. This can be done via a custom function in a child theme (although there might also be a good plugin for re-ordering posts, have a look on WP.com).
It's very easy!
Have a look at all order and orderby parameters here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters
Thanks, that's spot on, just had to drop the code on github into my child theme's functions.php file. For the benefit of others, here's code I adapted from the above to sort the Staff by their position title.
function wpex_order_staff( $query ) { // exit out if it's the admin or it isn't the main query if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() ) { return; } // order staff archive by title in ascending order if ( is_post_type_archive( 'staff' ) ) { $query->set( 'order' , 'asc' ); $query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value'); $query->set( 'meta_key', 'wpex_staff_position'); return; } // order staff categories by title in ascending order if ( is_tax( 'staff_category' ) ) { $query->set( 'order' , 'asc' ); $query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value'); $query->set( 'meta_key', 'wpex_staff_position'); return; } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpex_order_staff', 1 );
Great, glad it worked out for you & thanks for sharing for others
It's nice to see customers that know their sh*t and using a child theme as one should
Thanks I'm still finding my way around WP though! I'd like to display the staff member's email address under their description – I presume I would use a filter hook to append it from a custom field – where would I find the appropriate filter hook?
You'll actually want to move content-staff.php to your child theme and make the edit there.
Hi! Before purchasing wondering that whether the template supports the left menu? The top menu didn't need. Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by "left menu"? Do you want the logo on the right and the menu on the left?
I have a header image, it would be below the menu bar. The menu would be left like this page http://www.wpexplorer.com/pronto-wordpress-theme/
This is a completely different layout style then Thunder. It's possible but would require some major site edits.
Dear AJ, I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but there are still some open issues of mine where I didn't get an answer yet. It would be great if you could either help me out at those points or if not, tell me that I need to look for help somewhere else. There are also some new issues, too.
1. new issue: At one point, pictures in my "Services" started to disappear in the front end. When I add a new service, it might happen that the disappeared picture reappears again and another one vanishes. Here is the URL. http://www.oekofaktum.de/services/ It's the 2nd item after "test2". You need to be logged in to see the site. You had recently received the log-in via email from me.
2. old issue: "In the Woocommerce theme option settings I can choose right sidebar for "Shop Layout" and "Single Product layout". However, I can't choose this for the Product category layout. I'd like to have the right sidebar here too. The reason that I like to have the sidebar displayed is that I like to enable the customer to navigate through the product categories, no matter if he is on the shop page, category page or product page. But maybe I'm thinking in a wrong way and there is a different approach to this? (Woocommerce Shortcodes?) Also, when you choose to show the categories on the shop page, you only get to see the category thumbnail with the category name and a counter with the amount of products. It would be nice if the category description could be shown there too. Please tell me if you are likely going to do something about this.
3. old issue: I'm wondering about the chosen thumbnail size on the shop page. My monitor has a resolution of 1920×1200. The product thumbnails are shown at a size of 276×276, however, the much larger thumbnail 470×470@2x is used (which is 940×940 in size) and then scaled down. Why is that? Why doesn't it use e.g. the 300×300 thumb, as it is using on the product page? I had sent you an email with attached screenshots. You replied "Check your cropping values in the theme panel under Image Sizes->WooCommerce.", and I responded that I'm using the theme's default values.
Best regards Michael
4. old issue: On the home page the 3 shown products should be in one line, but the third one is shown one line below (on my screen with 1920×1200). Why is that? On the home page I want to have the same column layout for the recent products and the recent portfolio entries. In the theme options I can set the size of the portfolio entries image width but this option is missing for the home-product-entry image width.
Please, those issues are rather important for me. A quick note, if I can expect some answers would be greatly appreciated.
regarding issue 1: I've now spent hours trying to find out what is going wrong here. I even deleted the thunder theme and my child theme, cleared all thunder related database entries (including child theme) and installed the theme new. At that moment, all thumbs on the Servive page could be seen in the front end. Great I thought. I then activated the child theme and manually set all theme options to my old settings back again. When I then looked at the Service page again, 3 out of 8 Service items didn't show the thumbnails again! Switching back to the parent theme doesn't make a difference. Any idea what's going wrong here?
No answer?
Hi, Having challenges with the theme and realized that I am still on 1.2 and it is now 1.33. For the life of me, I can not figure out where to get the new update. My account says I already downloaded the file. When I downloaded the recent files to see if that worked it undid all the graphic updates I did just by using the theme (no CSS). I read the documentation and all the comments. Am I missing something that everyone else seems to be able to find. I also checked my emails to see if that is where the updates are located and no luck – just promotions.
I love your theme. I hope that the updates when I get it resolved also speed up my revolution sliders. Here is my site 9CupChallenge.com.
Your help is greatly apprecited. Jo-Ann
Hi there Jo-Ann,
Simply re-download the theme, the latest version is always in your downloads. And you can replace the files via FTP or install it as a new theme and switch to it.
Once you update to the latest version though you will find a tab in the theme panel called "updates" because from now on you should be able to receive auto updates right in WordPress. But be sure that the theme is named "thunder" on your server and not "wpex-thunder" or you won't get the auto updates!
Sadly I just did that and it wiped out months of design work, my side bar, copyright info and colours. I hope I can revert back to an older version of the site. It appears to have inserted the theme content from the design you did (which was great). Any ideas on how to fix with out spending a week trying to remember what I did previously to get to look so good. Thanks, Jo-Ann
Also my navigation and logo are no longer there. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. 9CupChallenge.com
Hi, I am working through the changes. It is great to see the changes you made to the options. For the future, in the update copy, can you add that you can save the customized "You can tranfer the saved options data between different installs by copying the text inside the text box. To import data from another install, replace the data in the text box with the one from another install and click "Import Options". That will save a lot of time.
I figured out all the fixes. The side bar content moved to footer. The style sheet needed to be redone, logo added back in along with favicon, menu updated (like the new options now) and blog headings re-establish. I still can not figure out how to change the font to black in the home page blog feed section as I would like the back ground to be white and white on white makes it hard to read. Any ideas how to fix/update?
As I have not used the full suite can you add some text to the guide for when you do upgrades so we know what to expect in terms of items we will need to update post upgrade. Thanks for continuing to improve this excellent product. It does such an amazing job.
created a page using portfolio isotope filter template. used settings -> reading to designate it Front page. have appearance -> theme options -> portfolio -> archive settings -> pagination style set to infinite_scroll.
entire page loads. even if i never scroll.
is infinite scroll supposed to work with isotope or does isotope require and request the entire page to work work properly so infinite scroll can't work properly with isotope?
if they do work together can you to a page that illustrates that?
Because of how WordPress works you can't have pagination on the homepage with the custom query (the portfolio page). You would actually have to create a custom template just for the homepage (using front-page.php or home.php) and rather then having a custom query, you would want to modify the main query using the pre_get_posts filter to ensure pagination works correctly.
I would recommend maybe showing your recent or features items, then having a button below linking to the full archive.
thanks for your reply. i hadn't realized that about the homepage.
from your response i assume you're saying that the isotope filter does work with infinite scroll?
i replaced the homepage in settings and made the portfolio page just another webpage. otherwise all settings are the same as before, and there is still no pagination with just over 31 rows. in Theme Options pagination is set to 16 posts per page, 4 columns.
Oh sorry, you are correct, the portfolio with filter templates always displays all posts, there isn't any pagination by default.
I need to do a big update soon for Thunder, I'll look into adding support for pagination to these templates as I can see why others would like it
If you want contact me via my profile page, not only as a reminder to make the update, but also so I can send you the zip when ready!
thank you. very helpful knowing it is behaving as expected. client complaining that entire page must load before any selections work. they really like the action of the isotope filter. but page load time is especially troublesome on tablets and smaller devices where they typically access this information.
i will send reminder via your profile page. thanks again.
If you have a lot of items it definitely makes sense!
You can explain, it is possible to code it so the filters work before the site is fully loaded, but the reason I have it so you have to wait for the site to load is because the isotope needs to know all the image sizes (it can't know this unless they are loaded) so when you filter an item it can correctly position items, otherwise if it doesn't calculate the current image sizes all the containers will overlap when clicking a category.
Looking forward to your email!
Hi AJ, I noticed that the created thumbnails are sometimes much larger than the original uploaded picture. I found that you have included a "better-jpgs.php", which sets the jpg quality to be 100 (default is 90). I think this isn't always wanted, I at least don't like the fact that my original pic of size 180kB (1410×940), which I compressed with 85% has more than doubled in size in the thumbnail 1024×682 with 405kB. I was now trying to overwrite the settings in my child theme but this leads to an error: "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpex_image_full_quality() (previously declared…"Could you maybe make a change in your code such as
if ( ! function_exists( 'wpex_image_full_quality' ) ) { function wpex_image_full_quality( $quality ) { return 100; } }or add the compression quality to your theme options.
Hi Michael,
Looks like i forgot to add the function_exists check, thanks for that, I'll add it in the next update.
That said, I'm not quite sure this function is what's causing the increase in the file size. Are you sure it's not being caused by the actual resizing function in WordPress?
Let me know if you tried removing this function and testing to see?
The next update will have the function_exists check, so if you edit the parent theme now, you should haven't to worry for the update.
Hi AJ, thanks. I did already include the function_exists check and with quality 90 I'm now getting jpg file sizes as I would expect. Setting it to 100 as you did in your theme only makes sense in my opinion if the original jpg is of same quality. My original quality was 85%, that's why your 100% increased the file size by such a factor.
Hi Michael,
That makes perfect sense. The reason I include this function is because I was getting a lot of support questions from people asking why their images didn't look the same quality as the ones uploaded (i mean several people asking a day) so adding this function really decreases time spent on support.
I'll probably dump in an option to disable it in the admin as well, as I can see why some people might not want it
Hi AJ, In version 1.4 I tried the new option disabling the 100% jpeg quality. The thumbnail quality is about 0 then. Shouldn't it be the default wordpress quality of 90 then? Michael
Ah shoot, I did return; instead of return 90;
Thanks for the heads up Michael!
Dear AJ, first off I'd like to acknowledge again this great theme. I would also like to propose another enhancement suggestion. In the portfolio template you can turn on the "Display Entry Details", which will show the title and text or excerpt of the portfolio item. The text will be cropped after line four, which is good. However, when one of the items has a text, which is less than those four lines, the portfolio item in the next row will move up and then the whole grid will look messy. Could you please tell me, if this is possible to change. Maybe the box height should be fixed for these 4 rows, no matter if they are filled with text or not.
I think this only happens with the isotope filter template.
Hi Michael,
Glad you still like it
Correct, this happens only with the isotope filter template, it's how a masonry layout works, the reason it moves up is because otherwise the whole layout would be messed up. You can't just clear the floats like a normal grid, because then when you use the filter buttons the grid will break because the float clearing is now in the wrong place.
You could add some custom CSS for a minimum line height if you want for these items, but it isn't something one would add to the theme by default because it can mess things up for people.
You can also use the custom "Excerpt" field to give your items the exact excerpt you want, this might help you make them all the same height. Or at least add some more words to the items that are smaller
Hi AJ, filling the excerpt field for every portfolio item to such an extend that all items will show the 4 lines isn't what I would like to do. I really like to show the title underneath the thumbail, I don't need to show the cropped excerpt. Would this be possible?
Custom excerpts are better for SEO, because they prevent duplicate content So if you don't have that many items, it might be a good idea!
You could simply hide the excerpt via CSS:
.portfolio-entry-excerpt { display: none; }
Or move the content-portfolio-[format].php files over to a child theme and edit out the excerpt. I'll add in an option for the excerpt length to the admin panel in the next update, that way you could set it to "0" to disable it
Ha, looks like I already added the callback for the theme option, but I never added the option to the admin panel.
Great, thanks
Added already for the next update!
How do I get the testimonials to appear the same on my homepage as you did in the theme? I can't find any type of testimonial slider. I created two testimonials in the respective section of the backend, and added a featured image, but how do I get them to slide like you did? Any help is greatly appreciated!
The only way is by using the pre-built homepage template – http://themeforest.net/item/thunder-responsive-multipurpose-theme/5466969/faqs/17478
The testimonial slider is a part of the built-in in homepage (the theme originally didn't have a page builder just a homepage template).
Hi, I'm using the Thunder theme and finding it easy to find my way around which is great being my first DIY website! I am just having some trouble when I insert a Symple Shortcode button into "Features". The text in the button seems to underlined by default which makes it look quite messy and inconsistent with the rest of the site. The underline goes away when you hover over the button. Is there an easy fix for this??
Great, I'm glad you like the theme! If you haven't rated it yet, I would really appreciate it
The reason for this issue is because I had some CSS in the theme that ads underlines to any links inside the feature. To fix the button simply add the following css to your site (it can be at the bottom of the style.css file, which can be edited via Appearance->Editor):
.feature-entry a.symple-button { text-decoration: none; }
I added the fix to the theme for the next update, thanks for reporting this!
Perfect, that works! Of course, happy to give you 5 stars for this theme. Works a charm!
How can I hide the top bar from the mobile site only?
You can do this with CSS, do you want to hide it for smallest size or tablets also?
/*hide the top bar on tablets*/ @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) { #top-bar { display: none; } } /*hide the top bar on phones*/ @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { #top-bar { display: none; } }
My new total theme has a built-in option for the top bar visibility, I wouldn't mind adding an option for this in Thunder. I'll write it down for the next update
It feels like I'm missing something, but isn't there a way to set the feature images height on a page? It's set for posts, but nothing in the settings for pages.
I have "entries" and "posts" set to the same thing, but neither of those affect pages – only posts.
The pages are set to not have any cropping. Generally people will only have 10-20 pages or w/e so by not having any cropping it allows for more control so you can upload the image at the exact size you want it to display.
Posts have cropping settings because you could have hundreds or even thousands of posts.
For pages I would suggest you simply pre-crop the image prior to upload.
This line in my css is causing an error on my whole site, how do i remove it?
<link rel='stylesheet' id='js_composer_front-css' href='http://greendogwalking.co.uk/wp-content/themes/wpex-thunder/wpbakery/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer_front.css?ver=188.8.131.52' type='text/css' media='all' />
This line shouldn't be in your CSS, this line should be in your header and what it does is load the CSS for the Visual Composer on your site (needed).
Can you show me where you are seeing this error? A screenshot of the error message would be good. And if possible also the URL.
Under Clients, how can I change the sub-title. I've highlighted it in this screenshot:https://www.dropbox.com/s/qlxr0l6p0uov53r/clientsScreenshot.png
I want the menu to say Clients, but the submenu should say Sampling of Clients. The link menu is a link to /?post_type=clients. If I try to add a client category as a menu item, it doesn't format the logos properly. Please let me know if you have suggestions. Thanks.
Hey there,
1. The archive for the clients post type will always display the post type name. To change it you would edit it here: http://cl.ly/image/3c0R2b0X0V1b
If you want to keep the name "Client" but change it on the archive, you should move archive-clients.php to a child theme and edit manually, or use a custom function to alter the post_type_archive_title() function for this archive.
2. Can you share the URL where the logos aren't formatted properly so I can see, I can't recreate the issue locally. But I'll be glad to help!
I'm testing this on my iphone…why do the parallax pics dissappear. Most sites it still appears…if not in motion still.
It's one of the faster sites on themeforest for mobile, clocked at roughly 6 seconds. Do you guys have plans to knock that down any further? Hopefully under the 4 second mark?
Also, is there a feature to put my phone number prominently in the upper right hand corner in desktop, and then be the first and biggest item someone sees when on mobile? something like this: http://onlinenow123.com/506/
Good overall job though to this point. I just scrapped a project with another nice theme (on the desktop)...that just sent to sh** once it went mobile (loading wise)
oh. and any chance of adding an "auto scroll up" feature?
1. On what page is the parallax picture not displaying on the phone?
2. The demo has a lot of extra stuff you probably won't have on your own site. Demos will normally be slower then an actual site. Such as all the code for the toggle where you can choose the color scheme and layout will not be on the real site.
Also, if you have less images or upload smaller images you can speed things up.
3. No built-in option for the phone number this is something you'll need to add. Our newest Total theme though does have an area for this – http://themeforest.net/item/total-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/6339019 – and there is built-in options for changing colors if you want a blank header
4. We didn't add a scroll top on this theme, but you could add it maybe via a plugin? http://wordpress.org/plugins/smooth-page-scroll-to-top/
Does this mean your not going to continue to update and improve this theme with new features?....I just took a look at Total. Looks to be a very well functioning theme, with many options, better than Thunder. But it seems very sterile (at least for the particular project I am starting), or at least thru the 16 homepages I just checked. Thunder has a lot more "pop" in your demos. If you have a page in there that looks more designed like one in thunder, I'd be happy to look at it. You guys seem to have put some honest pride into making these. As for the parallax…it is homepage 3 I'm viewing on my phone. The only thing behind the text is solid colors. I look forward to continuing our conversation:)
Of course I will keep updating this theme! But we won't be adding the back to top button or an area for the phone because it simply doesn't fit the current design.
The Total theme comes with some different skins built-in http://0.s3.envato.com/files/78750779/screenshots/03_themes.png – and color options to change things. The design is much simpler to start with, but very flexible and easy to edit
For the parallax, these aren't solid colors, its just because of how parallax works the images are fixed so you only see a portion of them. I'll look into seeing if it's possible to fix without causing issues on desktop mode.
I know what your saying about mobile and parallax. Just on other themes you still get "some" picture. On thunder…I get no background pic. I can send you screen shots if you want or if that helps. It's not a deal breaker by any means.
I need more so to learn how to get a clickable phone number prominantly displayed when mobile...seeing how smartphones have officially passed laptops etc, and I don't know anyone but offices and tech people like us that use anything but ipads and phones now. So, pretty important feature for local websites to get built with.
As for Total, I'll see if I can get it to grow on me. I recognize that it's a superior theme at this point. I didn't notice any feature on the left to change styles or colors. If you tell me I could get total to look a lot like thunder, I'll go that direction.
I wonder how I did that above with the second paragraph lol
what's a good email to contact you at? I have some things I found about Total that you might want brought to your attention.
Lol, you added a pre tag above so your text looks like code.
You can contact me directly via my profile page contact form – http://themeforest.net/user/WPExplorer
Hi there, just wondering how to move my logo more into the middle…so the top and bottom dont align with the header…i tried using Custom Image Logo Top Margin but it then pushes my logo down:( i basically would like it to kind of have an invisible frame… Thanks for your help much appreciated and GREAT THEME KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
You'll need to add some custom CSS to move it horizontally. If you can share the URL so I can get a better idea of what you want to achieve I can be of better help
I thought so:) I'm an absolute amateur if it comes to css and codeing the URL is www.ningunpecado.com. many thanks again for your help
The logo looks good to me, where exactly did you want to move it?

My nails are soft pink with sparkly glitter. I have my hair in a loose poofy sprout of curls (which on occasion I straighten to let my inner Sasha Fierce out). I am a member of both Netflix and Amazon Prime... one has all my favorite cartoons on instant queue and the other has the lockdown on Seasons 3 and 4 of Downton Abbey. I'm also a sucker for convienience and love 2 day shipping.... I digress. I recently discovered I love the outdoors. Since moving to Seattle last year, I have fallen in love with hiking and just walking around this awesome place. Nature makes my soul smile. I'm looking for a man who won't mind watching a few episodes of Archer or Venture Brothers with me. I am totally open to all ethnicities, I am an equal opportunity dater. I think I need to say that in writing for the guys who aren't sure if I would be open to that... And with that PSA over... I like happy awesome guys who like to BBQ and hang out by pools. I promise I will let you be grillmaster.

Freshman Damion Lee scored 24 points, hitting six 3-pointers, and Drexel edged Old Dominion 73-72 Saturday to close out the regular season with its school-record 17th straight win. The Dragons (25-5, 16-2 Colonial Athletic Association) led 71-65 with 37 seconds left. Kent Bazemore, who scored a career-high 37 points for the Monarchs, then made a layup and Dimitri Batten converted a three-point play to make it a one-point game with 15 seconds remaining. Drexel's Chris Fouch hit two free throws with 10 seconds left, then Lee fouled Bazemore outside the arc with 2 seconds to go. Bazemore made his first two foul shots and missed the third, with the Dragons rebounding the ball for their first win in Norfolk since 2005. Bazemore also grabbed 12 boards for Old Dominion (19-12, 13-5) which saw its three-game winning streak end. Chris Fouch added 15 points and Samme Givens 12 for the Dragons.

The best and most feature rich LBP game yet. 0
The Vita has struggled to grasp consumers. The sales have been lacking and the games have not exactly been steamrolling towards the system. Sony have picked up their pace with support for the handheld – after the awful E3 showing, where gamers were not impressed with the lack of information for the Vita – and, finally, some interesting games are due in the future. Until those arrive, we have Sony bringing LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (LBP Vita) to us. This little gem of a game is the perfect showcase...2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Tryst feels like it needs more work and more content - a shame. 0
The realm of great real-time strategy games (RTS) seems to be limited to the PC; the use of keyboard and mouse is the perfect method to control your army, and trying to capture that on a console just does not work. Recently, there have not been many RTS games to shout about, with StarCraft II stealing most of the limelight for the genre.

I am fairly new to the world of One Piece, as I only started watching the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his diverse group of companions called the Straw Hats a few months back. Story-wise, I am well behind where the anime currently sits with its 500+ episodes. That said, I can appreciate Omega Force's attempt to blend the Dynasty Warriors formula with the extremely popular series, and you know what? It could very well be my favourite spin-off of the Warriorsseries so far. Fans of the anime a...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

For the past two years Codemasters have done a great job bringing back the exhilarating feeling of F1 to the videogame world.

The last of the Resident Evil games to hit in 2012 is finally upon us, and no doubt this new entry in the main line of games is going to cause quite a stir with diehard fans of the franchise as they wonder what the hell Capcom is doing with their beloved, once-almighty horror series.Resident Evil is no longer the scary, continuous suspense game that it used to be.

Torchlight II is one of the best examples of a dungeon raider 0
The first Torchlight was a surprise hit for Runic Games back in 2009. This was helped by the generous price of the game and the fact that two of the designers were co-designers for Blizzard's Diablo and the fanatically praised sequel, Diablo II. These guys knew how to make a desirable loot-based game. Even with the success, the game itself was limited to single player and featured one massive dungeon that took place over 35 floors.

I am all behind old games being updated for current systems, especially fighting games. I never got to play JoJo's Bizarre Adventure back when the game released on the PS1 and Dreamcast, so this is the perfect time for me to test it out.

I am surprised it took Sega this long to release an HD port of the critically acclaimed Jet Set Radio.

It has been almost three years since gamers received a new Tekken game. The last title,Tekken 6, released just after the rebirth of fighting games (due to the fantastic Street Fighter IV) back in 2009. The original Tekken Tag Tournament was a PAL launch title for thePlayStation 2 and regarded by some as the most fun of the series, attributed to the inclusion of the tag mechanics and the feeling that it was built on top of the Tekken 3 fighting system.

Tales of Graces F makes a return to form for the genre on PS3 0
It can be hard being a Japanese RPG fan and living in the UK. There have been times when I wanted to play a new JRPG, but region locking or lack of translation often stopped me or delayed my chance to play the game for months, even years. Releases have become better during this generation, but there are still improvements to be made. Take the Tales series for example.

Subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) are in a bit of a pickle at the moment.

It seems even the Summer of Arcade can't avoid the infestation of zombies that have plagued the games industry for the last few years. I don't personally have any beef with zombies, but what I do have a problem with is how they are used time and time again in a familiar way that makes them just as exhausting to see as the modern war setting.

Featured in Microsoft's esteemed Summer of Arcade release, Wreckateer is the only title out of the five that needs a Kinect to play. I assume Microsoft is using the game's release to show that it still supports the device and feels it's just as important as the rest of the Summer of Arcade games.

Most people know what to expect from a game based on the Olympics.

I love how the PC is allowing people to embrace its gaming history by constantly getting older titles updated to work on newer hardware and operating systems.

We've had World War II, zombies and psychic power, and in 2009, Radical Entertainment released Prototype, a game featuring a lead named Alex Mercer who has superpowers that allow him to change his body into weapons or shapeshift into exact copies of other characters. It's also an open world game where you could explore Ne...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Battleship is just another below-par movie license videogame. 0
The summer blockbuster movies are trickling into cinemas now, so that means the videogame industry is about to launch their wave of movie license products based on these movies. It's near enough common knowledge that most videogames based on these films normally end up being mediocre or terrible. Battleship, which is a first-person shooter based on the film (which is loosely based on the board game – confusing!) that stars Liam Neeson and popstar Rihanna, is no different. Double Helix Games – th...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Interesting premise can't save Bloodforge's hacky gameplay 0
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and there's no doubt that development studio Climax has been inspired by Sony's God of War series for Bloodforge. It's not just the gameplay that's strikingly familiar; even the story is reminiscent of Kratos' revenge against the gods. The star of Bloodforge is a hulky mountain of muscle that wears a antler-bearing skull helm and goes by the name Crom. He's angry because he was tricked by the Celtic god Arawn. Arawn created an illusion causin...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Telltale's take on The Walking Dead is a great take on the series 0
Telltale Games couldn't have timed the release of The Walking Dead – a new videogame based on Robert Kirkman's award winning series – any better for me. After the excellent finishing of The Walking Dead TV show's second season, I was left with having withdrawal symptoms due to the lack of the weekly tune in with Rick and company as their story unfolds in twists and turns. The Walking Dead comic and television show aren't just your normal, stale zombie story. Sure zombies get smashed up, stabbed ...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
You probably shouldn't buy this butchered version of Silent Hill. 0
It wasn't long ago that I reviewed Silent Hill: Downpour, a new game in Konami's flagship horror franchise. Downpour wasn't fantastic, but the game was going in the right direction and in turn was better than the other HD console game, Silent Hill: Homecoming. Fans of the series normally agree that the pinnacle was Silent Hill 2, with Silent Hill 3 also established to be a great game. What better way to celebrate the best of the franchise by allowing fans a chance to have them run smoother and b...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
