Early predictions for the postseason have already given the Lakers a back-to-back title win, giving Kobe Bryant his fifth ring. However, many feel this could be the year that Lebron James finally gets his. James and the Cavs are on a mission, and this time around Lebron has the help of Shaquille O'Neal. They've also got the services of Antawn Jamison who was added during the season's trades. It could very well be a Lebron vs Kobe finals and that would be quite a matchup to watch!

There's plenty of great players to watch in the 2010 NBA playoffs, including super sophomore Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, rookie star Brandon Jennings of the Bucks, Dirk Nowitski of the Mavs and Dwight Howard of the Magic. Also don't count out prolific passer Steve Nash of the Suns and his counterpart Amare Stoudamire in the Western Conference playoffs.

The 7 Adventures of Sinbad Online Review Fall Out Expectation

Posted: 30 May 2010 12:20 PM PDT


The 7 Adventures of Sinbad: Sinbad, the original Prince of Persia, must complete seven tasks in order to save the world from catastrophe. A modern adaptation of the classic tale of the original Prince of Persia. Sinbad, a rich industrialist, must complete seven ordeals in order to save the world from catastrophe.

The Asylum is ready to bring us their thoughtful and honored approach to top tier film making with The 7 Adventures of Sinbad. Sorry. sorry. No sense lying about it. We're all familiar with The Asylum brand by now we know what to expect. And we appreciate them for it. So while there have been many, many cinematic interpretations of the tales of this intrepid adventurer rest assured this one will have its own flavor. After Mega Piranha I'm ready for anything.



Am so glad they limited the film to '7 Adventures,' as my heart would not take any more in one dose. Jaw dropping action is suggested here in this great trailer. You might have heard about the exploits of Sindbad the Sailor, but now in this new hidden object adventure you find out how he met his one true love and saved her from a fate worse than death.

Great Game That Dont Requires Great Hardware - Pentium 3 Capable Game

Posted: 30 May 2010 11:40 AM PDT


We put together a list of recent games and several past favorites that all run decently on less-powerful hardware. We tested all the games on two systems: an Athlon XP 3200+ system with a DirectX 8-compatible AGP Radeon 9250 video card and 256MB of system memory, and an Athlon 64 2800+ system with a PCI Express DirectX 9 GeForce 6200 video card and 256MB of system memory. Even though both of our test systems had weak CPUs and underpowered video cards, we found that limiting our system memory to 256MB hurt game support the most. Games like World of Warcraft become unplayable with such a small amount of memory, because the system slows to a crawl as it thrashes the hard drive to load information that would normally sit within system memory.





Pentium 3 compatible game


Warcraft 3 and 

Sid Meier's Pirates!
FALLOUT 1 AND 2
Diablo 2
-Soul Reaver 1 (even the sequel can run fine on a 900Mhz+ CPU)
-Max Payne
-Halo 1 (even better, Custom Edition)
-Ragnarok Online
-Resident Evil 1,2 and 3 if you're running on 95/98 (won't work on 2000/XP)
-Half-Life 1
-Phantasy Star Online PC
-Age of Empires 2
-Neverwinter Nights
-Morrowind + Tribunal & Bloodmoon
-Aliens vs. Predator 2 (AWESOME GAME and runs VERY well on 500Mhz+)
-Any PS1 games on an emulator runs flawlessly even on a 500Mhz P3
