Rachni Queen in Mass Effect 3

Rachni Queen is the leader of all Rachni species, including workers, soldiers, and brood warrior. Besides the most intelligent of all, Rachni Queen also known as the largest of the Rachni species as it comes in about fifty feet long. The most important capability of Rachni Queen is its telepathic song that used to guide the worker, soldier, and brood warrior. Another great thing about Rachni Queen is they were born with the genetic memory of their mothers, which allow them to easily have all knowledge of the previous hive by the time they were born.

Physically, Rachni Queen resembles Rachni Brood Warriors, only much larger than that. They skin is darker compared to the Brood Warriors and they have glowing eyes as well. Most of the time, Rachni Queen mated with Brood Warriors. However, Rachni’s reproductive process, which all carried by the Queen, actually do not require male counterpart at all. It is because besides they carry the genetic memory of their mother since they were born, they are also carry the genetic information of their fathers inside them, which allow them to lay the Rachni eggs even without male around. The speed of Rachni Queen to lay eggs is also worrying as they able to lay an egg within a few hours. If this continues nonstop, then a Rachni Queen could create a big colony less than a week.

Rachni Queen

The Mass Effect stories told that quite long time ago, there were a war called Rachni Wars that takes place in Rachni homeworld. The war was started because Rachni race seems to be expanding in rapid speed, make problems for all galaxies. Eventually, Citadel Council sent the Krogan to kill every Rachni Queen on the homeworld and tried to make all Rachni race cease to exist. It proved fail as there was a Rachni Quuen that survived on Noveria in Mass Effect 3.

During a mission, players on Mass Effect 3 will have a chance to choose whether they spare the Rachni Queen’s life or not on Noveria. If the queen survived, then she will be captured by Reapers and tried to be indoctrinated in order to join the war in Reaper’s stake. However, since the queen appears to be immune to the indoctrination, Reapers finally hold her captive on Utukku. The different thing happened to the Rachni Queen’s child as most of them are converted in Ravagers to fight for Reaper’s stake. Another choice will come up whether Shepard free her and get her support to fight the Reapers by sacrificing Aralakh Company, or let her die and the Reapers will build an artificial queen so they can control the whole Rachni army.

Another choice will comes up as you are allowed to kill the artificial queen or free her. If you decided to free the artificial Rachni Queen, then after a few missions it will takes away all the rachni workers from you and do some great damage on the Alliance Engineering Corps while she escapes. So, it is better to not free the artificial Rachni Queen if you have the choice. Moreover, it is better to just save the real Rachni Queen at the first place so there will be no artificial Rachni Queen created.

Galactic Readiness - How to Increase Galactic Readiness Rating

Galactic Readiness is used to measures Commander Shepard's influence as well as player ability to utilize the resources of the galaxy. More Galactic Readiness level the player has, then the more prepared the Commander Shepard's forces for the final battle against the reapers. This way, the better the ending that player will get. Most players also called Galactic Readiness as Effective Military Strength. Basically, those two are exactly the same, which Effective Military Strength means all the assets that the players has gathered from the main game as well as side missions and conversation choices. To view this rating of Effective Military Strength, player can just simply go at the War Assets panel in Normandy in CIC.

Mass Effect will got the rating of Readiness or Effective Military Rating by multiplies the player's Total Military Strength by the Readiness Rating percentage. The Total Military Strength is made up of War Assets that has collected by players in game, while Readiness Rating percentage can only increased by playing multiplayer. For example, if a player's Total Military Strength is 5400 then a readiness rating of 50%, then the score of Galactic Readiness Rating would be 2700. This rating then will be important to affects the ending, which could lead to one of 16 ending of Mass Effect 3. The bigger the player's readiness rating is, then the better ending they will have.

Galactic Readiness

For most players, seeing all the 16 different ending of Mass Effect 3 will be a perfect way to end playing Mass Effect 3. However, in order to get all the endings, players need to get certain number of Galactic Readiness rating. So, in order to get all the different endings, players must increase their Galactic Readiness rating.

In order to increase the galactic readiness rating, there are a few method that can be done. One of those method is to increase the total military strength. Player can also increase th rating by playing Galaxy at War multiplayer games or also by playing a couple of the Mass Effect 3 side games that released for iPhone and iPad called Infiltrator and Data Pad. Raising the increase total military strength is probably the most easy way as not every player is able to play multiplayer game as it is require Online Pass. Moreover, the default Galactic Readiness rating given by the game is 50%, which is quite high. So, all the players need to do is just get 10000 military strength if they want to get 5000 effecive military rating at the end. Or, if the player has the Online Pass, they just need to play the multiplayer games often in order to reach maximum 100% of Galactic readinesss.

In the end, there is nothing that make the player should get 100% Readiness if they don't want to since the only thing they will got is one ending out of the 16 ending provided by the game, which is determined by the rating of Effective Military Strength and rating of Galactic Readiness to reach maximum Effective Military Strength.

Another rumor about the story even mention that the Master Chief will be facing againts an ancient evil that able to threaten the entire universe's fate, which only means a new enemy, and a strong one as well.

The Prisoner is described as a huge and mighty person with weird. Some even says that the Prisoner is the last of the Precursors race. For information, Precursors race in Halo world is a really powerful alien race that came before Forerunners (noble galactic policement who created Halo Array). The same rumor also mention that the Halo 4 will reveal more about Forerunners as there is only a little information about them in the previous games.

Halo 4 Gameplay

If you have look at the Halo 4 teaser trailer a few times ago, it shows that the Master Chief is falling toward a planet that seems to be a Forerunner world, which probably allow the player to take the war in the Forerunner world. Though there is no info yet whether the whole Halo 4 story will takes place in Forerunner world or not. But the interesting is, the trailer shows that the Forerunner world is fully functional, which can means that something is going wrong on that planet. But either way, this new place where the war of Halo 4 takes place will surely a lot more interesting as the players will be able to see alien architecure instead of the building in the previous game.

About the Halo 4 gameplay, it seems that the developer will utilize the sandbox gameplay that has been featured in all Halo games.

Tali's Face - Will it Finally Revealed in Mass Effect 3?

Tali's face certainly is one of the many mistery of Mass Effect universe that has not solved yet. The mystery of the face of the Quarians even takes bigger portion of talk in various game forums.

This race also known as the race that created the Geth. Due to they are basically an alien, they require a special suits in order to help them survive in. Moreover, Quarians also known for their extraordinary weak immune system, which require them to wear the suits all the time. This is the very reason why there hasn't be any sign of Tali's face at all in the previous Mass Effect series.

However, the upcoming Mass Effect 3 has been expected for the appropriate stage for the developer to shows Tali's face finally. Since becoming the resident among the Commander Shepard's team, Tali, or also known with her full name as Tali'Zorah vas Neema, Tali's face has become one of the most interesting mystery to solve. It is because between many of Commander Shepard's team that has prominent role, Tali's looks like is still unknown. It is pretty interesting as most female characters in Mass Effect has been described with sexual seducing appearance, except for Tali.

Tali's Face

Actually, although Quarian's not remove their mask oftenly, there is a moment when Tali shows her face in Mass Effect 2. This event can be acquired if players pursue a romance with her. Unfortunately, she only shows her face to Shepard, which makes the players even more curious of Tali's face. Most gamers are feeling that the mystery of Tali's face is indeed makes her more seduced than the other female characters, though some others feels that at least the developer shows her face in order to reveal almost all thing about the game.

As said before, many gamers are expecting that Mass Effect 3 become a great stage for Tali to finally open her mask and shows her true face. Some of the rumors even mentioning that the ending of Mass Effect 3 should be the moment of truth of Tali's face. But if the rumor were true, it could makes the fans disappointed. The first reason is because by revealing Tali's face, there is no more mystery left in term of characters, which all this time only monopolized by Tali alone. Another reason could probably because no matter how the Tali's looks like, there will always be fans that feels that the face is not what they are expecting all this time.

In the end, it seems that Bioware only have two choice. The first one is surely to reveal Tali's face in bold way and thus, ends all mystery about her. Or, Bioware can keep the face shrouded, make the fans of Tali even more curious about Tali's face.

Minecraft for Free - Is it Possible?

Minecraft for free is actually obtainable if its only a beta version or demo version. However, to get a full features Minecraft, you need to purchase it from the game distributor. Before going to far to know how to obtain Minecraft for free, let us take a look a while back when Minecraft was first developed and launched, for free. At the beginning, Minecraft is made as an independent video game that written in Java by Markus Persson, a Swedish. Continue on, the Minecraft has been developed further into a more commercial sandbox building game by Markus Persson's company called Mojang. Minecraft itself is a game that focusing on player's creativity to build construction from various textured cubes with different feature in a 3D world of Minecraft. There are two main mode of Minecraft, which is Survival mode that requires players to acquire resources as well as maintain it to go further in the game, and the Creative mode where the players are given an unlimited supply of resources since the beginning without health or hunger to maintain. And recently, there is the third game mode called Hardcore, which is actually as the survival but offers higher difficulty and requires player to delete their world upon death.

Back in the beginning, there is a way to get Minecraft for free as Mojang has developed an Clasic version that released for free. Unfortunately, this classic free version of Minecraft is no longer being developed as Mojang includes this classic mode into the paid version and change its name into Creative mode.

Minecraft for Free

As mentioned before, Minecraft was originally an independent game that should be coming for free, so many gamers and Minecraft fans are should be able to get Minecraft without any charge. However, that has to be changed after Mojang see the potential of making the Minecraft commercials. So they start to released the Alpha version of Minecraft in 2009, then followed by a beta version on later 201 for PC. Continue on releases of minecraft, Mojang decided to take place on mobile gaming by launching Minecraft for iOS as well as Android mobile devices. None of them are free, but until 2012, Minecraft has been sold for more than 5 million units.

Looking at the money it could gain, it seems that Mojang will never release Minecraft for free, even for Android that actually famous thanks to its line of free application on Android market. So, there is actually nothing you can do to get a free version of Minecraft, expect by doing these two followings things.

First method is surely to download the demo version, which is free to download for limited time. Different game sellers are limiting the Minecraft for free for different time, but mostly it is only offers 1 hours of play. Some other offers more as they only limiting the features of the free demo Minecraft. As the second method is to wait for a promotional event. As a famous game that has been sold for more than 5 million copies, there will be a time when this game will receive major update, or even a sequel. Like in the announcement of Android version, there is a limited free Minecraft copies. Either way, it is always better to purchase the game legally, or try the demo of Minecraft for free instead of find a crack to get the full version without paying at all, because that is a crime.

Cubefield 2 Review

Cubefield 2 is a perfect game for you who search for a simple yet highly addictive game. It is simply because the gameplay of this game is definitely able to make you addicted, despite of the simple gameplay. For your information, Cubefield 2 is the latest game by Max Abernethy of flecko.net that known for their addictive flash game. Many people that has tried this game found out that this game are extremely addictive as they cannot stop playing the game for long time, though the main gameplay of this game is only to dodge the obstacles.

About the gameplay, you will play as a grey arrow in this Cubefield 2. You can use the left and right arrow keys in order to control the grey arrow. At the beginning, you probably found it very easy to control the green arrow but as the time passes, your arrow will be travelling at high speed which makes it harder to control. Not to mention that you have to avoid cubes from a gigantic plane in order to complete the game. After each time, the speed will begin to keep up the pace and there will be more cubes, which makes this Cubefield 2 even more challenging than ever. If you are able to last longer to avoid any of those cubes for long time, then your score will be higher than other who crash on the cube.

Cubefield 2

The most interesting thing on this Cubefield 2 is the action will not stop until you die, except if you pause it. There is no level at all so you won't have time to take a break as there are more cube to avoid in higher speed. Even so, there is some time when the game change color and scheme, which is a sign that you have reach higher level with higher speed and higher number of cube, though there is no implicit sign of level.

Another thing that interesting in Cubefield 2 is probably the graphic, as it is already coming in 3D design. Not only the cube, but the 3D design of game plane certainly is great. Though you probably won't have enough time to be amaze by the 3D design of the plane as well as other object.

And the last thing that possibly makes this Cubefield 2 really addictive is the simple control. Not only the main game control that requires only left and right arrow key, but also the whole game control that requires you to not use mouse click at all. For example, you just need to press spacebar in order to play new game at the starting page. Although it is a small different, but it could make people love to play this game for long.

The only downside of this game probably that there is no music or sound effect at all. But Max said that it is more comfortable as more fun to listen to your own choice of MP3 as you play this Cubefield 2 game.

Minecraft Dictionary - Redstone Lamp

Redstone Lamp is a golden block on Minecraft that resembling Glowstone so much, though it doesn't have the behaviour of Glowstone at all. The main function of this block is to give light as big as 15 luminance, but only as long as the block is powered. That level of luminance is actually higher than a torch and surprisingly the same level as Glowstone. Another function of this block is also similar to other blocks that able to emit lights, which is melting snow or ice. To build Redstone Lamp, you need to mix Redstone Dust and Glowstone Block altogether. Some of the behaviors and functions of those two ingredients will be carried over the newly made block.

Also, although this Redstone Lamp is made from Glowstone, this block will not break into either Redstone Dust or Glowstone Dust when it is broken, but is will produce the same as the standard block. But on the other side, this lamp is able to make Glass sound, similar to the sound that produced by Glowstone.

Redstone Lamp

So, what is the use of this Redstone Lamp for Minecraft player? well, the main function is certainly as a functional light source. Even so, if the player is not in the peaceful mode, mobs will mostly spawn in unlit room whenever this block doesn't emit light anymore. This is surely a downside so choosing Glowstone or Torches that able to emit light constantly are probably the better choice for lighting. Besides as light source, Redstone Lamp also can be sued to create redstone display, which is actually a great alternative for redstone torches that do not able to emit enough light. Moreover, if this block is wired to half day clock, this block will be able to be used to illuminated a structure at night automatically.

Those are the main definition as well as function of the Redstone Lamp. However, if you like to know more about this block, read the interesting information below:

Mario Party 9 Review

Mario Party 9 is one of the latest Mario game. This game is coming with various mini games as well as board games that combined into a single great game. The most fun way to play this Mario game is by using its multiplayer, as playing alone is not that fun. Seeing this game for the first time probably makes some of you remember about the similar game on the Nintendo 64, though this version of game is far improved compared to the Nintendo 64 game, especially on the gameplay as well as multiplayer gaming experience.

Although this Mario Party 9 still included the single player mode with a storyline that involving Bowser who trying to get the mini stars, playing alone is not as fun as playing together. This game is just that kind of game. After all, the name ‘Party’ really describes that you should play it on party, which more than one player included. After you got the players needed, just say… four peoples, then you are ready to get the best out of this game. All of the players will then jump on a single cart, which each player will take turns to become the captain. Captain’s role is to roll a dice and see what kind of rewards or benefits of the dice the captain has rolled.

Mario Party 9

Many of mini game will be involved, but all the games are having a single purpose, which is collecting mini stars. Most of the mini games on Mario Party 9 are also involving rolling a dice, though none of the game is requires any difficult motion control. All the players need to do us just using the Wii Remote as pointing devices, or use it as the old school controller. Most gamers would find that the lack of motion controls of Wii Remote is a good thing while some other might think that playing Nintendo Wii without motion controls using Wiimote is definitely unlike playing Nintendo Wii at all.

Each of the mini game of this Mario Party 9 is divided into three segments, which each segments will have a winner and loser. This is surely a fun way to compete with your friends as you can try better in the next segment or next game in order to get better scores and be a winner. Seeing the gameplay, which is using dice as the main controls, this entire game surely depends on luck. Even so, that kind of gameplay seems to be a great way to play when you are together.

In the end, Mario Party 9 really is bring the people together to play and have fun, without any people thought that they are lose because someone cheating as it is based on luck. If we see on any other game such as tennis, soccer, or fighting, the most skillfull players will get an easy win over others. But in a game that based on luck like this one, skill become number two as luck is all you need most. This Mario Party 9 concept issurely match with Nintendo Wii original concept, which is trying to get people, not only 2 people, to play and have fun together.

If on the previous game Ryu wore black leather outfit, in this third series, Ryu will be seen with new metallic black suit as seen on the some released screenshots. Another difference on Ryu appearance is his toes, which are now covered with metal that will be useful for a new move called Kunai Climb.

Ninja Gaiden 3

Story wise, the trailers of Ninja Gaiden 3 starts when Ryu got a request from Japanese Self-Defense Force to go to London and fight terrorist. Furthermore, Ryu will also fight the Regent of the Mask that kills the Prime Minister. Next on, Dragon Sword will be absorbed into Ryu’s right arm and a new opponent appears with hood and gives the world 7 days to be destroyed, except if the world surrenders to him. Ryu’s adventure then will begin to eliminate all terrorists as well as uncover the mysterious hooded man that has threatened the world. This story is written by Masato Kato, who also wrote for all Ninja Gaiden series on NES. That is why there are some rumors that mentioned that some Ninja Gaiden characters from NES will also appear on this Ninja Gaiden 3, such as Hayate from Dead or Alive series.

About the features, Ninja Gaiden 3 will bring some new features and improvements, including Steel on Bone feature that allow the players to cut through enemy’s body while a slow motion cinematic trick, new Kunai Climb move that allow Ryu climb onto walls and strike enemies from above using his kunai. Stealth also the new feature as some missions requires Ryu to kill enemy with only a single hit after sneak U. Talking about enemies, they are now able to speak while fighting with Ryu, such as ‘Send BU!’ or ‘Get around him!’ which surely add a lot of tense of the game. More about enemies, they are now not die easily as most of them will suffer and sometimes scream in pain when they are injured. Also, unlike the previous game, dying enemies in this game will not decapitated or dismembered, but only bleed and weakening time by time. Most of game critics mention that Ryu are become softer to enemies as there is less blood and decapitated body in Ninja Gaiden 3.
