| Rome Total War : Battle Strategy Guide |
| by: Tony James A. Formations
It's pretty much common sense to come up with a good formation for
your army but the basic idea in most situations is to have your infantry
in front, ranged units behind, cavalry protecting the flanks and your general right behind the infantry. Having the general next to your infantry boosts their morale. If you have larger numbers than the enemy, it's usually a good idea to spread your formation so you can surround the enemy.

| RPG:table and computer |
| by: Efimov Peter RPG: table and computer
It's not a secret that table RPG games are not so popular as they used to be. However a certain number of amateurs are still fond of them. What is so particular about a pasteboard box or a book with rules? It seems that all the advantages have their ' younger computer brothers': no manual calculations, no bricks ( the number of which is from one to almost 20). In general, no additional efforts are needed- just relax, play and don't worry. But nothing of More.. |

| Video Game Violence...What do you think about it? |
| by: Daniel Punch Ever since video game designers were able to put red pixels on their imaginary characters that had recently deceased, there have been people crusading against their subversive ways.

| What are Rackmount Computers? |

Servers perform a small number of specialized operations, some as little as a single operation, but they have the ability to perform it millions of times over and over again, quickly and flawlessly. And when one server is no longer adequate to handle the volume of transactions that a business may require, other, bigger, more powerful ser More.. |

| Why We Play Games, Part 1 |
| by: Steve Hall There exists some ephemeral quality that separates gamers from the rest of humanity, some thing that makes us, us and them, not us. I've never been able to quite put my finger on it, but it is inescapably there. Today, in hopes of moving closer to that essential quality of gamerosity, we examine part of what makes us tick. In particular, we take a look at what draws different types of gamers to the hobby. Every gamer plays for different reasons, but there are common threads that t More.. |

| Your Fingertips and a Phone-line, perhaps. |

To download music or play games, if that is what you want, but never, could a person rapidly gain access to information!
Never could a person disperse information to such a degree, either.
With it comes a freedom to express ideas, creations, or business concepts, which held previous generations captive to their true abilities and pote More.. |

| The Future of Video Games |
| by: Daniel Punch I've recently been thinking about where video games could be going in the future. I'm hoping to work in the game industry one day after I've finished university study and I've been wondering about it a lot. What do I want to see happen in the future? Well I may not have too many answers right now, but I have come up with a few ideas that I think may come into 'play' in the not too distant future.

| Get Started In Creating Computer Games |
| by: Daniel Punch I've always loved video games, ever since I first played them on a friend's computer after primary school. There's something almost magical about the fact that we can move images around and interact with virtual worlds, a living fantasy presented for us to interact with however we please. I've also always wanted to make games myself but, until recently, didn't have the technical knowledge to do so. Now, I'm a second year software engineering student, so if I weren't able to code More.. |
