Hurricane Katrina is becoming one of the worst natural disasters in
American history right now so we thought our loyal viewers could pitch
in to help out.
Here is the link to donate via the Red Cross (it is through Yahoo as
many have said it is much easier than donating through the Red Cross
website as it is so overloaded with visitors).
Donate to Katrina Victims
So please take a minute and at least take a look. Every little bit
helps. |

Proporta Unveils New Gaming Site
In
preparation for the hotly anticipated European release of the Sony PSP, mobile
device experts, Proporta, have designed a range of accessories to make your
gaming experience even better.
Proporta
have a
choice of cases to help protect your new
best friend:
Dress
your PSP with a stylish
Leather Case. This will help protect
against scratches and fingerprints on the screen which can spell disaster to
your game. The leather case also offers storage for your memory sticks and game
disks so you will never run out of games to play when on the move.
The
Aluminium-Lined Leather Flip Cover
protects your PSP screen with its unique design. A sheet of aluminium inserted
inside the leather case protects your PSP from impact, whilst looking stylish
with contrasting stitching.
The
Aluminium Case offers your PSP serious
protection and is designed to hold the PSP snugly inside the case whilst a
neoprene lining provides extra cushioning. The aluminium case has cutouts to
allow the essential features to still be accessed.
The
Sports Case has a semi rigid exterior to
protect your PSP from knocks and scratches and a soft lining to offer extra
cushioning. This case offers peace of mind when the PSP is thrown into a bag.
The
Semi Rigid Case offers similar
protection and includes internal storage for UMDs and a USB to ensure that
nothing gets lost or misplaced.
Proporta
have released an
Advanced Screen Protector which will
help to protect your PSP screen from annoying scratches that may affect your
gaming experience. Proporta are guaranteeing these are the best screen
protectors available (or you can have a refund) - they can even be washed and
replaced. A
Screen Magnifier helps to increase the
size of the screen by 1.6 times ensuring you don't miss any of the action on the
way to a new high score.
The
Battery Extender allows the PSP to be
charged from four AA batteries so you can enjoy more thumb twiddling on long
journeys! The
In-Vehicle Charger allows the PSP to be
charged from a car cigarette lighter so that you will never run out of battery
on the road - Proporta also offer a
Cigarette Lighter Doubler/Splitter so
you needn't fight over the power socket with the driver's GPS or phone.
The
Recharge Grip allows the PSP to be
charged at the same time as being held like a PS2 controller with easy access to
all the buttons and controls.
Don't
forget, you can now register all Proporta branded products for a Lifetime
Warranty at
www.proporta.com/lifetime. As always,
all Proporta purchases are covered by the company's "never-argue" money-back
guarantee - if for any reason or no reason at all, you are not completely happy,
Proporta will refund you in full, or offer you a replacement (whichever you
prefer).

PRESS RELEASE
#
THE MIDLANDS/YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND - July 29th 2005 - Astraware and Revolution
Software are excited to announce a new partnership which will see Revolution's
classic games brought to PDAs.
Both Revolution and Astraware are active members of Game Republic, an alliance
formed to bring together companies within the games industry, so when Revolution
first began development for the PDA games market, they sought the expertise of
Astraware, the leader in this field.
The first title being developed for handhelds is Broken Sword: The Shadow of the
Templars; the first in the worldwide multi-million selling adventure game series
originally released for PC and PlayStation(R) in 1996. The story opens in Paris
with an explosion in a cafe, and unfolds as American tourist George Stobbart and
photo-journalist Nico Collard set about investigating the explosion and are
drawn into a globe-trotting adventure involving conspiracies, cults and murder,
all revolving around the Knights Templar. The handheld version is due out in the
coming months.
"Broken Sword is ideal for the PDA," commented Charles Cecil, managing director,
Revolution Software. "The game retains its unique ability to captivate and
enthrall and its loyal fan base still active today is a testament to its
enduring power. Our agreement with Astraware will allow the game to reach an
even broader audience. With their skills in handheld development, they are a
perfect partner for this product."
"We are excited and proud to be working with Revolution Software to publish
their highly-acclaimed titles to handheld devices," said Howard Tomlinson, CEO
of Astraware. "Their Broken Sword games fill a gap which has long been open -
for titles with great stories and fantastic presentation. We believe that
Revolution's games will appeal to handheld users around the world, just as their
PC games have done."
More details regarding the handheld version of Broken Sword: Shadow of the
Templars will be revealed soon.
