    God of War: Ascension Single Player

    God of War: Ascension Single Player

    God of War: Ascension is surprisingly may end up a decent game. Although built upon an improved version of God of War III engine, but judging by the multiplayer beta demo released earlier and this 30 minutes of the single player gamplay, the game is looking beautiful, more fluid, larger in epic/scale with a bunch of new controls and free combat. The obvious thing that gets me pumped is the inclusion of profile and chapter selection in the game main menu:

    Samsung Hires Flashmob to ‘WAKE UP’ Apple Users

    Samsung Hires Flashmob to ‘WAKE UP’ Apple Users

    It wasn’t enough for Samsung when they started their anti-iPhone and “get samsunged” campaign months ago, today Samsung sent a paid flashmob to Apple’s retail store in Sydney, Australia to try to “Wake Up” iPhone users.

    Its Samsung’s most ridiculous move yet, they sent hordes of chanters people dressed in black to protest outside of an Apple retail store. with a clear message written: Wake Up!

    It’s believed that this is Samsung’s Galaxy S III marketing, which was put together by Australian creative agency Tongue.

    The ‘Wake up.’ campaign has also seen the words written on the bottom of Bondi Ice Bergs pool, as well as on a series of billboards placed around town. There was also a website at wake-up-australia.com.au that allegedly counts down to the May 3 launch for the Galaxy S III which is Apple’s iPhone primary rival.

Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner.
