Halo Wars Demo Released on LIVE Marketplace

Halo Wars Demo Released on LIVE Marketplace

Today Halo Wars makes its debut as a downloadable demo. Unfortunately to those without a gold account you must wait until next week when it is available to silver accounts as well.

In case you were living under a rock, Halo Wars is Ensemble Studio's next big project that will hit stores in early March. And no this is not a shooter! Ensemble Studios has decided to make a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game so sorry FPS fans. Halo Wars actually takes place years before the story of the Halo Trilogy Bungie has released over the years.

Quoted from www.xbox.com Halo Wars "is a strategy game based on the legendary Halo® universe. Command entire armies of Spartans, Warthogs and more into combat as you join the crew of the “Spirit of Fire” to battle the alien Covenant. Designed from the ground up for the Xbox 360, Halo Wars let you effortlessly command powerful armies in epic battles."

And the big question everyone wants to know for even any demo, "Is the Halo Wars Demo Multiplayer?" Unfortunately only Skirmish, Tutorials, and 2 of the Campaign Missions are only available at the moment. If you have not downloaded the demo give it a try at the Xbox Live Marketplace! And don't worry you won't need any microsoft points to download the demo (:

The Guide to End All Guides for Microsoft Points, Wii Points, Runescape and WoW months, and Nexon Cash

The Guide to End All Guides for Microsoft Points, Wii Points, Runescape and WoW Month Cards, and Nexon Cash

Through trial error, I have been through countless scams, viruses, and some hack attempts on some of my accounts. This guide is not for you if you do not want:

-Free Microsoft and Wii Points

-Free Runescape and World of Warcraft Months

-Free Nexon Cash and free Gaming Acessories

-Free Custom orders from Ebay and Amazon

-Free in game gold for Runescape, WoW and Mesos for Maplestory

If you do not want free codes e-mailed to you, then this guide is not for you. In this Guide I will help you get your free Point Cards and/or Gaming Accessories either e-mailed or mailed to you 100% Safe and 100% Legal.

How can I get Free Point Cards and Gaming Accessories For Free?

Through Gaming Lagoon, a 100% Safe and 100% Legit site, you complete surveys and gain points for completing a survey GamingLagoon offers you. When you gain points, they are redeemable for 1 USD for each Point you have. It is like a contract, GamingLagoon assigns you a job to complete a survey, in turn they get paid for it and you recieve commission on it via points. In turn you can use those points to get a vast array of prizes.

But What If I don't want to fill out surveys?

Through this guide you will find out how to

-Get Near a 100% Approval Rating

-Complete Surveys in less than a minute

You can zip through surveys in less than a minute with a high approval rating. I mean if you found another way to get free point cards that is 100% Safe and 100% Legal, by all means go for it. You can even check out their privacy policy if you want to be real sure. But if you want a fast, easy, legit, safe way to get Game Point Cards, Memberships, and Gaming Accessories, it's time to get started.

Step 1: Sign up for a Free E-mail Address

The reason you should want another e-mail address is that many surveys require you to submit an e-mail address. Sign up for a spam e-mail address so you don't get massive e-mails about products in your main e-mail address. Some free e-mail providers are MSN, Yahoo, and Google.

Step 2: Sign up for GamingLagoon

If you have not already, sign up for GamingLagoon. If you signed up for a new e-mail address, make sure you use that information in your profile so it matches your filled surveys.

*If you want free in-game gold for Runescape or WoW or free Mesos for Maplestory sign up for GlideGold. Yes you can sign up for both sites just in case you want membership months and in-game currency (i.e. Get a two month WoW card on GamingLagoon and a hundred gold on GlideGold). Both websites have their own point systems so you don't have to build a mass amount of points to get what you want*

*EDIT: I received e-mails from people saying there are offers when you first sign up. It is just to verify you are human and not a bot (to stop people from creating so many fake accounts). Unless you really want the offer, just skip them all until your account is activated*

What If I don't want to put down my real information?

Now to receive prizes, you have to verify your account information. But that is BEFORE you receive your prize. So you can always use fake information and before you request your free Gaming Card Points, Membership, or Gaming Accessories then change it to your real information before you get your prize E-mailed or Mailed to you. If you still live with your parents and don't want them to know about it, you can always have Game Codes and Memberships e-mailed to you, but gaming accessories like Controllers will be mailed to you.

So If you want to include fake information I suggest you use this handy little gadget and fill it in with it.

www.fakenamegenerator.com

*NOTE: You can start filling out surveys now without reading the rest of the guide, but if you follow these techniques you can get close to a 100% Approval rating and get your FREE Gaming Item even faster*

Now is a good time to download Roboform. This program allows you to login by clicking a button so you don't have to type it in to protect your passwords from keyloggers but the main reason we want this is because it can fill out survey boxes for us instantly with a click of a button. This becomes extremely important later on when we fill out our surveys. Download the free one and fill out an identity card with the information you got from the FakeNameGenerator.

www.roboform.com

Step 3: Fill out Offers

Now for a quick mini lesson on how offers work. When you go to an offer, you will recieve a cookie (not an actually cookie haha) that will be stored into your web browser. When you get to the end of the survey, a 1 x 1 pixel that is blended in the background will detect if your cookie is in your browser. If the tracking pixel is viewed and you have the cookie, the offer will be automated as completed and it will send to GamingLagoon, telling them that you have completed the survey.

So it is very very important that you have cookies enabled!


Now although we can fill out forms instantly with roboform, how will we know it'll approve near 100%? I know some of you may think surveys take forever and are discouraged but there is a way to find the tracking pixel. If you can find the tracking pixel, the approval rating will be near 100%. Note, sometimes offers won't approve even if you do find the tracking pixel, but its very unlikely and rare with some offers.

Note this trick will only work for FireFox Users. If you are not a firefox user you can still get a high approval rating, just make sure all your pages load before moving to the next page. Also if you use another browser besides firefox, if you know how to use plug-ins to work javascripts then you may be able to do this trick.

First download the Greasemonkey plug in at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748. When you have it go to tools > GreaseMonkey > New User Script. Set it to:

Name:Tracking Pixel Finder
Namespace:www.gaminglagoon.com
Description: Finds tracking pixels in a webpage and highlights them.
Includes: (Just type * into this box)
Excludes: (Leave this blank)

Press OK and your text editor should show up. If it doesn't find the notepad application and use that. Type the following code into the editor and save it

// ==UserScript==
// @name Tracking Pixel Finder
// @namespace www.gaminglagoon.com
// @description Finds tracking pixels in a webpage and highlights them.
// @author Poopkiller55 & ajpatl
// @homepage www.gaminglagoon.com

// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
var css = "@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); img[width=\"1\"], img[height=\"1\"] { border:solid 25px green !important; }";
if (typeof GM_addStyle != "undefined") {
GM_addStyle(css);
} else if (typeof addStyle != "undefined") {
addStyle(css);
} else {
var heads = document.getElementsByTagName("head");
if (heads.length > 0) {
var node = document.createElement("style");
node.type = "text/css";
node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
heads[0].appendChild(node);
}
}
})();

To enable it, go to Tools > Greasemonkey > Manage User Scripts

So we have our information that we will use before we request our prizes, we have roboform that will fill out surveys instantly for us, and we have our Greasemonkey Firefox Plugin that will find tracking pixels for us to have a high % approval rating. Now it is time to start filling out offers. Since you want free gaming cards, memberships, or gaming accessories, I'm assuming you want to fill out free offers. But if you have a credit card you can do credit card offers for massive points. The choice is yours. Use the image from above to list the offers from Greatest to Least of Point Value from the Free Surveys.

Now before you click on your survey, make sure you clear all your cookies and cache. Do not disable your cookies! When the offer screen loads up (completely), do what the offer tells you to do at the GamingLagoon page offer. Click on the identity card you made on Roboform to instantly fill the survey out. Enable your GreaseMonkey Plug-In to find any tracking pixels on the page. Your tracking pixels will be surronded by green (unless you changed the code to any other color). Right click on your image and view it in a new tab or window. When it shows up, refresh your page 5-6 times so you have exposed your browser to the tracking pixel many times. When you have reached the end of the offer make sure you have checked the whole page for the tracking pixel and go back hit complete offer. Once its Pending Clear all your cookies and either wait or do another survey.

Make sure you only have 3 - 5 surveys pending at a time. Any more will slow down approval ratings through my experience.

Step 4: Claiming Your Prizes

Very soon you should have enough points to get your free gaming card, membership, or gaming accessory! Now before you request for verification of your account, make sure its 100% real information. For being with GamingLagoon for over a year, they have never sent me any spam mail, called me with any offers, or recieved junk mail from someone I didn't want to receive from. With those paranoid, they will E-mail you gaming cards and membership codes.

Conclusion

So make sure that you keep at it and in no time, you will be playing the games you want (:

For a quick recap of what you should do before you do a survey:

-Clear all Cookies and your Cache
-Let each page load compeletly before doing anything
-Enable your Plug-In On each page to find any tracking pixels, there can be more than 1
-Use your roboform identity card to fill out surveys quickly
-Right click on all pixel trackers and view the image. Then refresh the image 5-6 times for each one
-Complete the offer
-Wait for the Pending (it takes normally up to 10 minutes)

I hope that I have been of help, and I am so assured, that the first 20 people to sign up under the link and not recieve a prize, I will send them 1600 Microsoft Points for Free (:

I hope I have helped you get the free Microsoft and Wii Points, Runescape and World of Warcraft Memberships, and Nexon cash and gaming accessories you wanted and hope you the best in your gaming (:

6 Tips When Playing World at War (Or any FPS), News on Buying Downloadable Games Online, and Bored at the Airport?

6 Simple Tips When Playing Call Of Duty: World At War (Or Any FPS)

1. Developers did not put random cover everywhere just for decoration

If you were playing campaign would you go through every room just shooting everything without taking any cover? (If it's not on easy haha) Cover is there for a reason, to protect you from bullets! The next time you see your deaths racking up, the next time you die ask yourself if you died in an open field or behind a wall.

2. Anger Management

Let's face it, we all get angry sometimes when we obviously think that we killed them before they killed us. Before you start throwing your controller across the room, take a second and breathe. There are many reasons why your game is probably off.

-Connection. World at War's game play heavily favors the host. If you and the host see each other in a close quarter combat, most of the times he will end up winning. When you see that connection is an issue, try creating more space using longer ranged weapons or simply join another game.

-Not taking cover. Read the first tip

-Off-day. If your having an off day, just breathe and slow down the game. Just go cover from cover shooting down people. This will help if you do not have the connection advantage.

-Slow it down. If your sprinting everywhere rushing in rooms, trying to get as much kills as possible, read tip number 1 again.

3. It's only a video game, I'll respawn

If this was real life would you rush in a room full of people? Yeah you might get a few kills, but it will end up with a death. Always be careful before you sprint into areas without examining them.

4. There's no I in Team

If you find yourself away from your teammates you better be flanking the enemy with camouflage on. If you died from being flanked from 2 people it better have been because they killed your allies if your complaining. Also if you have a mic (for you PC players out there you have a keyboard) use it! Countless times where I have been ambushed and my teammates don't say anything when they kill them after I'm dead. If you think you can kill them faster than they can kill me, go for it but I'm pretty sure you can use your mouth at the same time.

Another quick tip, if your dealing with a tank (or anything hard to kill in a FPS multiplayer game), don't let it reign havoc on your team! How many times have you seen someone go like 30-2 because no one would kill them when they are in a tank. Everyone ignores them and then calls them "tank noobs" when you can easily take a tank out with one satchel charge underneath it.

5. Reload behind cover and only when you have to

How many times have you died walking around a corner reloading? Always take cover and reload your weapon when you need to. If you just fired a couple of shots and are moving to the next area, go behind a barrel before you do and reload!

6. Release the trigger!

Don't just hold down your fire button and pray and spray. Shoot in bursts of around 2-3 shots if your using an automatic weapon. It reduces recoil dramatically and will increase your accuracy significantly. Also don't forget to aim for the head, always try to!

(Note: Doing the opposite in some FPS games like Halo 3 can work, but it will help your game if you follow these tips)

Overall, be more patient and use your surroundings. While running and gunning may get you many kills, it also can get many deaths.

If you don't have Call of duty or would like to try it, sign up for a free gamefly trial here today.

News on Buying Downloadable Games Online

With technology getting better everyday, game companies are now distributing their games via the internet at a price. It cuts down having to go to your local store and buying a game for more than buying it on line. While the game itself may cost less to download online, make sure you know what you are buying.

Many digital distributors set up required fees when downloading games just in case you want to re-download the game you purchased. While this may come in handy if you buy a new computer, the fee can be around 10 dollars. So before considering buying a game online check the terms and see if making that 10 minute trip and dealing with employees is worth the hassle.

And don't worry, downloading games with the free microsoft points and wii points you've earned, to my knowledge, does not have a re-downloading fee and can be redownloaded with your console's license.

Bored at the Airport?


Going to a long trip anytime soon? Flight cancelled? While waiting you can go to vending machines installed at various airports. Best Buy has set up vending machines filled with hand held gaming systems like the PSP and the DS with games. The next time your on a trip and have nothing to do, or always wanted to try a new game out, don't forget to look around for these machines.

Banjo Kazooie, Bioshock 2, LotR Conquest, and a Gaminglagoon Trick So Simple, A Child Can Do It

Nuts and Bolts Review

We all remember playing the Ninentdo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie, a platforming game with a bear with his feathery side-kick in his backpack. After around 9 years, Rare has released their latest to the series, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.

Now if you played this game 9 years ago, many of you were probably disappointed when your first heard the game would be vehicle based, and you can make your own vehicles to complete challenges. This immediately set me off and I had no interest in getting the game until the demo came out in the Live Marketplace (It's multiplayer also!). And I have to say the game has retained a lot of its charisma and humor and felt just like the first Banjo Game. My friends who never have played a Banjo game were playing the demo for hours! When I saw this happening it had to be nostalgia that blurred my judgement of this game.

If you are a Banjo-Kazooie fan who is put off by the vehicle based game play, try playing it without nostalgia blurring your judgement. The point of the vehicles is to reduce the redudancy of having to transform yourself all the time to do certain things. Rare has made a smart move in using vehicle game play for this game and not making another platformer. If you haven't tried Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts yet, you can rent the game for free at Game Fly by ordering the free trial and then canceling it after you have played it.

Bioshock 2 Trailer and Lord of the Rings Conquest Demo

For all you FPS fans, the second installment of Bioshock 2 has been announced and you can watch the trailer on youtube.



For all you Lord of the Rings Fans who own an xbox 360 can head over to the marketplace and get your free demo!
