Top 10 PC and Console Games for Realism

!±8± Top 10 PC and Console Games for Realism

Realism is our friend. None of us can help loving a game that is so awesomely put together that is makes us feel and believe with every fiber in our bones that we are literally living it.
You can have all of the cool graphics and sound effects but if you can add light guns, swords and shields, dance mats and now even a peripheral called a PC Gaming Vest that offers you an entirely new experience in gaming where games like DOOM, Crysis and F.E.A.R will allow you to FEEL the games impact from bullets, kicks, punches and other force feedback things. But what games are the most realistic?
#10: It is no real surprise that a racing game would be on the list. I personally do not find them interesting but that does not discount the fact that they are realistic. Grand Turismo 4 is probably the most realistic of the racing games. The tracks and cities are to scale and the cars perform to industry standards including drag, speed and aftermarket upgrading.
#9: The Sims may not look or sound realistic and that is painfully obvious, but what realism it does offer is in the psychology - in the sense that you are creating a person who interact with others on a personal basis.
#8: I have to admit that Rock Band is a guilty pleasure. It is a wonderful game especially if you enjoy all kinds of music. You and your friends get together and jam the night away on the instruments provided. Point of fact is that the harder levels of the game is, according to the publisher, the same as playing the songs on real instruments.
#7: Assassin's Creed is one of the best games on the market in my opinion. The people walking around the streets are rendered perfectly, fight scenes are seamless and accurate to physics and the landscapes are beautifully depicted.
#6: F.E.A.R is paranormal intrigue at its best. You are an agent ordered to rescue hostages but find, instead, poltergeists! The buildings are utterly realistic and the word perfectly to scale. The storyline is positively gripping.
#5: Half-Life 2 was a game of the year nominee along with its predecessor. Aliens and disease spell a very yummy combination.
#4: HALO is one of those game series that comes around once in a generation that gets so much world wide fame and notoriety and for good reason because it is great. An enriching storyline wrapped around an expansive world.
#3: Clive Barker's Jericho, a surreal horror story, is a game that scare the pants off of you if you. Turn down the lights and just play it. The surreal backgrounds and vast landscapes coupled with eerie scenarios and music make this a game that rivals that of Silent Hill.
#2: The Medal of Honor games are the choice of warfare players everywhere but none have captivated the realism like that of Medal of Honor: Airborne. It is a visually breathtaking game with factually inspired scenarios.
#1: Call of Duty has long been one of the most realistic games ever made. Modern Warfare is the 4th installment of the game offering intense action in a modern world where you get to utilize current machines of war and where current politics play a part.

Cell Phone Use While Abroad - 3 Options For Staying Connected

!±8± Cell Phone Use While Abroad - 3 Options For Staying Connected

Communication - being "connected" - 24 hours a day, 7 days per week has become not just a need but an expectation for most people these days. One of the main ways that we stay connected is through the use of our mobile phones.

The situation is no different when we travel abroad. With all of today's technology options, being on the road should not have to mean giving up our cell phones. Here are some examples of how to use your cell phone abroad, using Japan as an example.

When traveling to Japan, in particular, cell phone use is important. Over 75% of the Japanese use cell phones, and that country's electronics manufacturers keep the Japanese population up-to-date with the latest cell phone technology. According to the NY Times (2009), Japan has twice as many third-generation smartphone users than the U.S. - despite the fact that Japan has less than half of the U.S. population.

KDDI, NTT DoCoMo, and Softbank are the biggest players in the Japanese mobile phone market. However, Japanese

phones have not made major inroads in foreign markets - much to the dismay of Japan's own cell phone manufacturers. This is primarily due to the fact that Japanese makers have pursued their own, proprietary networks rather than trying to be in synch with the global standard. The result: excellent sales and amazing technology within Japan, but little overseas sales are very little foreign phone compatibility.

If you are curious about cell phone use in Japan, you have 3 main options for staying connected via a cell (mobile phone) in Japan as a foreigner.

Your first option is to simply bring your own phone with you to Japan. However, note that this will only work if your phone is technologically compatible with the networks in Japan. Currently (as of this writing), Japanese carriers do not offer connectivity for GSM-based phones. However, some 3G/4G phones will work in Japan. Check with your own cell phone carrier before you travel to find out whether your phone will work once you arrive.

If you do plan to use your own phone in Japan, you will need to decide whether it makes the most sense for you to just pay your domestic carrier's international roaming rates while in Japan (which could get very expensive fast) or whether you should rent an SIM card in Japan. If you rent an SIM card, it is likely that your rates will be lower.

Your second main option is to rent a cell phone once you arrive. You can rent a phone at airport kiosks, and some mobile phone rental companies will even be happy to ship your phone to your hotel or other place of temporary residence there. You will need a picture ID and credit card in order to obtain your phone this way. At Narita International Airport, you can find phone rental kiosks and vendors such as Air's, Digitel, Inc., DoCoMo, DreamCell, E-Phone, eCom, G-Call, KDDI, and more.

Finally, consider getting a prepaid cell phone once you arrive in Japan. Note that most carriers will require that you have an alien (foreigner) registration card or a Japanese driver's license in order to obtain a prepaid cell phone. The reason for this is that some foreigners and domestic Japanese alike have used these phones for criminal purposes in the past: hence, the current need for the added security. Some carriers will allow you to use your foreign passport and a hotel address to buy a prepaid phone, however, so check around.

Consider these 3 options for cell phone use abroad on your next trip.
