Software Reviews: Counter Strike, Style Master ver. 3.5, PicaLoader and more!


Counter Strike MSN Display Pictures - ver. 1.0

Although Counter Strike games are has-beens (anyone playing them yet?), the game has somehow struck a chord among all online gamers and now the image of the game characters have proliferated in software such as the CS MSN Display Pictures. However, I keep thinking that the characters aren't exactly meant to be "identified", so why bother with the avatars? Again, there are still great fans of the game out there, and I'm sure as hell this package is going to be a hit with them. But we'd be happier MSN Display Pictures had been a lot more creative and put more advanced game characters in the package, such as the X-Men.

Style Master - ver. 3.5

There are already many versions of this software that are out in the markt and being exploited by cascading style sheet programmers. This is a wonderful tool that facilitates web design using a Mac-like interface. Rather ingenious, and at a moderately-priced $60, not a bad investment at all.

Style Master version 3.5 is just one of the many software today that makes even designing with cascading style sheets an easy task. Beginners will be pleased at the way things have been laid for them so they could modify their website the WYSIWYG way, and advanced programmers will find it even easier to put into their websites the designs they had envisioned in their heads. Overall, this is a cool software and a must-have for all CSS programmers.

Advanced StartUp Supervisor - ver. 1.1

For a program that does a lot of things in one package, the Advanced Startup Supervisor is quite powerful. However, because it lacks some rather unique features, it's an average program altogether, missing on some aspects but still makes up for its versatile functions. 

What it does is simply take away the mess in your computer such as spyware or adware that appears in the start-up, while simultaneously letting you control which programs will run. This is a wacky software that automates your start-up applications according to what you put in the list. It also comes with a demo version so check it out!

PicaLoader - ver. 1.4.9

This picture loading software is definitely the mother of all picture loading softwares -- it has advanced features that rock! You can practically leave the job of searching, downloading, organizing, checking for image duplicates, browsing, and a host of other features to its highly advanced functipns. I recommend this to all photographers and digital artists who need heaps of photo downaloads for their projects.

Perhaps my favorite feature is the fact that even if it downloads image files, your computer is secure from virus and destructive scripts that come attached to thes files. Plus, the filters allow only for specific image file attributes to get downloaded, so it ends up as a really organized collection of pics. A high score for this one.

ZoomChat - ver. 4.4.0.1

This software lets you chat with your friends even direct from a website where it's been installed. I can't even count the number of neat stuff you can find in this software: from the separate source and receiver video capability to the ability to work even in firewall and proxies. It runs fast even on dial-up connection!

This software is pretty easy to install, it's free, and it's a small file to begin with. It has advanced features such as face detector and noise silence, among other things, so that it fares well when compared to other video communication programs in the market. Of course, like all free downloads, it may come with its own malware so beware of this.

iNetQuery - ver. 2005

The great concept of this software is that it's useful in most domain hosts website/domain maintencance functions. For instance, all network connections are monitored and if there's any malicious activity going on, this is always denied. It comes with a report of the details of the status of the domain names in the network. Really practicable for domain hosts so they ought to check this out.

If you can see from the screenshot how easy it is to keep track of these domains, then you'll realize how this software is so handy in this type of online procedure. It's also freeware, so rejoice! YOu can try this out to see if it's compatible with your system, otherwise, there's always a choice not to use it.

ECrawl - ver. 2.03

The price of this software is amazing! But if your business thrives in e-mail marketing, this is quite a worthwhile investment because this software virtually collects millions of e-mail addresses in the web for you in a matter of hours. Sure, there are other mail crawling softwares out there that do the same job, but if you were to use ECrawl, you'll save lots of time that would have otherwise been used for sending the e-mails to the millions of recipients.

A word of caution for those who are buying this software -- you become an agent for spamming so it's basically a matter of discrimination on your business' part to employ this. The price of this software speaks for its gargantuan capability; at the same time, you can still avail of the demo version to see how far it will take you.

Volleyball Manager - ver. 2.3.1

Tournaments take time to be planned, organized, and documented. The use of softwaer takes a little of that burden away and allows the tournament managers to do other tasks that are more important for the implementation of these games. Volleyball tourneys are no exception. This software allows the managers to schedule their games to better inform the visitors and participants.

This is not a free software but once it's been purchased it will serve as a great investment that the league managers can use in the future. I'd say this is an ace program at reasonable price.

Devhook Launcher Mod 1.65c

Posted Oct 26, 2006 at 8:01PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Development Tags: Chunglam, DevHook, Korea, TheBuzzer
 
From version 1.65b, Chunglam is now up and about reminding us that the Devhook Launcher/VSHEX Mod ain’t over till the whole dev thingy is over. We’ve counted just a little less than a week and bang! Another update called version 1.65c. This time it’s quite a smaller one though, and here’s the changelog:
  • Compatible with 2.71SE-B
  • Added Korean font (generated from TrueType font) and language file by friends from Korea
  • Added Chinese game title macro “names.big5″ by friend from Taiwan
  • Added Simplified Chinese help file by CrUmp Zhao
  • Updated Portuguese Brazil language and help file by Pender666
As we’ve taken account in the past blogs dedicated to Chunglam’s Devhook Launcher, the mod is actually a bit like a spin-off of TheBuzzer‘s Devhook GUI Launcher Mod. The developer stresses that this is mainly for Korean users. Anything you want to know on how to install and how to use the mod can be found on the Readme.txt file. Also check out the mini-faq.txt if you got questions that Chunglam might just be able to answer. Thanks and keep ‘em good stuff coming, Chunglam!

Guild Wars Nightfall has already been shipped to retail shops in North America and Europe. The image above is the Collector’s Edition that comes with Gameplay HD’s The Making of Guild Wars Nightfall behind-the-scenes DVD, a poster-sized map of Elona, a collector’s art book, collectible skill pins, a character mini-standee, the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD, and more.

The global servers will be online by 8:01 BST / 9:01 CET. You can still take advantage of Guild Wars Nightfall subscription (whopeee!) as it’s still free.

The Guild Wars series has been a massive hit for the past years. Will the third stand-alone campaign follow the trend? We’ve covered the game pre-launch and the list of features are definitely very promising. Apart from the new missions, skills, armor, professions (2), and endless replayability, we’ve mentioned a few times about the Heroes, Hero Battles, and Templates features. ‘Course nothing beats playing the real game so if you’re the first ones to grab a copy, do let us know what you think of it.

Rapid Dump v0.1 for PSP fw 1.5

Posted Oct 27, 2006 at 07:21PM
Listed in: PSP Tags: Zouzz, Rapid Dump

Zouzz develops homebrew applications in French, and we’ve seen him publish several of his works in English-speaking forums. We’ve spotted one of his latest from Gueux — one called Rapid Dump v0.1. It’s actually his first application for PSP firmware 1.5. The app lets you create back-up for your plug-in quickly. These files include opening_plugin.rco, gameboot.pmf and topmenu_plugin.rco.
The dev illustrated how the ‘brew is installed in the readme.txt, all you need to do is just follow the sequence. By the time you get it running on your PSP, you can dump these abovementioned files in the file dump of root of the Memory Stick.

Zouzz plans to create a dump for F0 entirely in 1x, another one for F1 entirely in 1X, and a UMD dump. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for his updates so keep checking QJ for news.

MAZDASPEED3 spices up Channel M campaign

Listed in: Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Tags: GameStop, EA Sports, North America, EB Games

MAZDASPEED3 will now be included in EA’s Need for Speed: Carbon car line-up. We won’t be surprised, really, as this is all part of EA’s campaign with major gaming retailers around the world to boost the NFS: Carbon title sales. EA has in fact joined forces with Channel M, EB Games, and Gamestop to set out a fierce marketing campaign for NFS: Carbon all over North America.

The campaign will include exposing players to Mazda in-games, raffled pre-orders at EB Games and Gamestop where gamers can win a real MAZDASPEED3 car, mall tournaments, parties, and a Las Vegas championship where the winner gets a chance to win his/her own MAZDASPEED3 as well.
The game will be available for retail (and download for mobile) on November 1 onwards in the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC, and mobile.

Curious about the speed and stats of the MAZDASPEED3? This baby is actually one of the quickest and fastest front-wheel drive cars in the world. A lightweight car with a sizable engine producing 263-horsepower and 280 lb/ft of torque, the swift MAZDASPEED3 revs up at 0-60 mph time well under six seconds and kicks off to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. The name says it all.
