With 2014 coming to a close and with many of us thinking about our favorite games that were played over the last 12 months, I wanted to take a slightly different approach and reflect upon my most cherished gaming and collecting memories.

Hello RFGeneration community, NxCmp here. Long time lurker, short time active member. I have been reading the blogs for some time and something grabbed my attention. I noticed that there is very little to no Linux Gaming coverage. So it seems to me that this is something that needs to be addressed.

Terminal Velocity, a game I would imagine most people have never heard of, is still a blast to go back and play if you enjoy arcade style flight combat.

Every so often there comes a game with such an absurd premise that you just can't help but try it out. Akiba's Trip is one such game. It was developed by Acquire and published by XSEED in North America. It was released in August of 2014 for PS3 and Vita, and on November 25th for the PS4. This game's setting is the Otaku and gaming Mecca of Akihabara. It also involves sun-fearing vampires and combat that revolves around stripping said basement dwelling Otaku vampires down to their skivvies. Otaku burn to a crisp from slight sun exposure after all! The main character is actually turned into one of these vampires in the introduction, and is saved by a pretty young girl with a kiss.

Last year Nvidia released their first serious attempt at getting into the mobile gaming market. And though it's not gotten nearly the attention of the 3DS or even the Vita, the Shield Portable is actually a pretty amazing piece of tech. Although it received a revised model in the form of this year's Shield Tablet (which seems to be an iPad competitor), I actually think that those of you out there looking to spend the bulk of your time gaming on the go are going to be far more interested in the (cheaper) Shield Portable.

Once upon a time there lived an Aunt who was really cool. A Cool Aunt, one might say. The Cool Aunt lived in ideal circumstances, and was quite fond of video games. So much, in fact, that she would often indiscriminately purchase games based exclusively on the cover of the box. Needless to say, Cool Aunt ended up with a lot of duds, but being that she was a true fan of video games, she would often play them regardless of their dubious quality. Still, some were beyond reproach, and ended up being chucked into a paper box underneath her entertainment center along with leafed through gaming magazines, strategy guides, and other bits and bobs (at one point there was a boxed Timex Sinclair 2068). And there those goodies sat, waiting for some youth, desperate for entertainment, to play them.

You know it and hope that one day you'll actually beat it... but you always know you'll have a blast trying, and dying. In this episode, we'll look closer at the SNES and Genesis Horror classic, Zombies At My Neighbors.

If you play Super Nintendo games you know what to expect. A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and Final Fantasy III are fantastic games, which many of us hold close to our hearts. Perhaps these were games you played as a kid or during your teens, but you at least have the satisfaction of knowing that you've experienced these essential pieces of gaming history. What we played in North America is only the tip of the iceberg though. There are so many great role playing games that we never got to see because they never left Japan. Here are five games that, thanks to translators and/or repro developers, we can finally add to our backlogs.

Grand Theft Auto V is essentially a port, but with new features added for the PS4 Release, for example, it now has a First-Person View Mode, but I only enjoy that for shooting, because I've never been any good at driving cars in games in First-Person. Anyway, apart from that, they basically made a good game even better, so if you have yet to play this, now is a really good time to play it.

This thing is about Ninja Girls who fight other Ninja Girls in an effort to strip they're clothes so that they may save the world. Yes, that's really the plot. What did you expect from Japan? Anyway...it plays exactly like Dynasty Warriors, only with more customization and story thrown in. That being said, it could get repetitive for most people, but since I like that kind of gameplay, I enjoyed it a lot.

Ha...here we go with this stuff again. Akiba's Trip for the PS4 is another port with more features. Now included is a "Toy Box" Mode that starts you off with one of every item to play around with to your heart's content. Also included is a Visual Editor so that you may change the color of EVERYTHING in the game. The neatest new feature though, is that when people watch you play on the Live From Playstation App on the PS4, they can interfere with your game, such as making enemies appear, making you lose all your Health, etc. Even if you did play on the PS3 or Vita earlier, you should definitely give the PS4 Version a try.
More gaming adventures coming soon!

In last month's installment, we talked about Cosmic Carnage, a bad game with a really cool and interesting premise. This month, we will dive into T-Mek which is the opposite, a pretty good game with a really generic and uninteresting premise.

There are many people who love to get engaged in sports betting while others participate in live casino. The question that is in the minds of most is that which is better, william hill's live casino platform and offers maximum excitement and thrill along with payouts. Since both are different forms of gambling.
Is sports betting anything like participating in table games in casino setting? A reason is present as to why most casinos tend to have sportsbooks inbuilt in them and why many sites which feature online casinos have sports betting also. As a matter of fact, there are numerous similarities that exist between casino games and sports betting.
Understanding the similarities between these two online games
Gambling- One of the most important, obvious and major similarity between casino and sports betting is that gambling is involved in both. There is said to be some kind of unknown outcome and the individual would be risking investments on a particular outcome or on the other. Since not every outcome is likely to be equal, the individual might get or give the odds in casino gaming as well as sports betting. Difference lies in the fact that the sporting event's outcome is not completely random and there could be possibly knowledge, which can give the person a better advantage. However, in most of the casino games, it is the House, which has an upper edge.
Strategy- In both the games, the individual is likely to do much better if he tries to come up with some type of strategy into the betting. Several gamblers try to equip themselves with all the relevant and necessary information that they can derive from online casino reviews and that of sports betting sites before going ahead of placing their bets. There are specific casino games that does have numerous types of bets that the individual can make, while House edge to some could be the worse lot. Similarly, by using established and appropriate strategy in several games such as video poker and blackjack, one can improve significantly the winning chances by manifolds. While betting on the sports, the individuals chance is likely to be much better, if he bases the bets based on some kind of analysis of the players or teams that are involved in the sports, instead of the individual liking the color scheme of the team or they are playing in the home city.
Entertainment- One of the biggest similarities that is found between casino games and sports betting is that both of them could provide the players with tremendous fun amount. One can find little more excitement instead of realizing that a team would beat the other, to watch it take place and to be financially get rewarded. The person could feel almost like that he is part of the impending action. At the same time, watching the chips to pile up in the casino game, while taking some wonderful decisions in repeated numbers and getting fortunate and luckier could sound exhilarating and immense fun.

Composer Compendium: David Wise
In simpler times, there were great melodies driving the music composition in games. When you're limited to a handful of sound channels, it really tests composers to make a piece that fits the game they are working on and their ability to make it memorable. Compositions also had to survive repeated listens, since many games were short and had only a handful of tracks. Today, we are going to take a look at one of the best Western composers for one of the best European game development companies. David Wise was Rare Ltd's house composer from 1985 to 2009, and his work stands out as much as the company he worked for.

TWO buttons? Son, in my day we had a joystick with only one red button, and we did just fine.
I assume I was not the only kid who genuinely wanted video games to be more than just a niche hobby. As I would rant excitedly about my latest virtual experience, adults and often other kids would roll their eyes and shake their heads, as if I were trying to engage them in a heated debate over the color arrangements of my sock drawer or how fascinating was today's dryer lint. Aside from a handful of peers, nobody around me really cared, so video games felt like a lost treasure only a few friends and I could see. While it was lonely at times, these circumstances formed a gnostic cadre, forging bonds not unlike the secret club-house days of old. Every Nintendo Power or Game Players held delicious clues of future experiences, and instruction manuals whispered prologues of great adventures that lay ahead.
