Can My PC Run This Game Tutorial
When you have looked for a game, there is a question in your mind whether or not it can run on your PC. Who would have thought as to a specific game is created for a specific machine! If you have got a game in hand, make sure that it meets all of the requirements. It is not necessary that it is easily played on every PC, but rather if it is created for a specific machine, then such machine can only play it. Note that a good reader always checks the author of the book before he starts reading it. Similarly, look at the requirements of that game just before you install it. Wait! You must compare the requirements of the game with that of your computer’s specs.
How To Check Game Requirements ?
For a game, the requirements are split into two; minimum and recommended. Keep three things in mind. One, your PC meets the requirements of a game completely; second, your PC fails to meet the requirements of a game, and the last but far from the least your PC meets the minimum requirements of a game. A game will run on your PC or it will not – there is nothing in between. However, the minimum requirements of a game have made it easier for you to run a high-graphical game on your PC. Since it enables a particular game to run on the minimum requirements, you must compromise over high graphical and other details in the game. In order to play a game, first get a reliable source to download free full version PC games and then check whether it meets your pc requirement or not.
The recommended requirements of a game are special, as a PC that meets the recommended requirements a specific game will be able to run such game properly. It has been discussed earlier that that you must evaluate whether your PC can support a game to run or not. In addition, you must also determine that your PC must have the minimum and recommended requirements for a specific game. Why do the developers provide the recommendations? Well, they do so in order that you should update or upgrade each spec that fails to meet the requirements of your desired game.
I hope that this article will help many of you to choose a proper game to play and to save your precious time.
Microsoft may announce the iPad Killer this Monday
Microsoft has been sending invites to a super secretive event this Monday June 18 at 3:30pm in Los Angeles where the company plans on a ‘major’ announcement. No other details about the nature of the event have been disclosed. Not only that, even the event venue is still shrouded in mystery. We did post a question to our Twitter followers as to what could be announced and replies included ‘buying Nokia or new Xbox’, ‘drastic changes in hotmail’, ‘new Windows tablet’. While the last reply was pure guesswork, chances are high that this could indeed be true. Reports have surfaced online that Microsoft may just be announcing the iPad Killer.Wrap.com has reported that, “an individual with knowledge of the company said that Microsoft would introduce a Microsoft-manufactured tablet at the event, marking a foray into a new hardware category that would put the company in direct competition with giant rival Apple.”
Coming soon?
Microsoft has chosen to keep quiet on this particular topic and they haven’t responded to any replies or requests for comments. However, if this piece of information is indeed true, then we could have a new Microsoft tablet running on Windows 8 or Windows RT, the ARM based variant. A whole slew of Windows 8 tablets were announced at Computex 2012 by manufacturers and if Microsoft itself is entering this section, then it’s be going to be one interesting ride.
So, MS wants to kill the iPad? Well, we hope they’ve taken a cue from this article that we have done in November 2011 on how to beat the iPad. The tablet war has been waging since quite a while now but Apple has still been reigning numero uno. Competition from the entire range of Android tablets hasn’t been able to topple the iPad so if Microsoft is planning to launch the iPad killer, they sure know how not to do it. If any tablet has to beat the iPad, here’s the list we had mentioned earlier:
- Price your tablet sensibly
- Focus on the feel and aesthetics
- Be unique
- Try to build an ecosystem around your device
- Offer better performance, by optimising
- Stop trying to make a computer replacement
- Bug test your products thoroughly
- Make one product, make it better
Come Monday, all will be revealed on Microsoft’s new announcement. If a tablet is indeed announced, for sake of competition, we hope it matches up to the iPad.
Windows Phone 8 officially announced hitting new phones later this year
he news about Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 operating system has been doing the rounds for quite a while. Yesterday, the tech giant said that they would offer a sneak peak at what one can expect from their smartphone OS once it becomes available. At an event in San Francisco, the brand officially raised the curtains on their latest mobile operating system and claimed that it is the most advanced mobile OS Microsoft has ever made. This OS will be available on new handsets that will be launched later this year.
According to a blog post, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore claims that many of the new capabilities available on the Windows Phone 8 OS comes from Windows, which is the most successful and powerful operating system on the planet, and one used by more than a billion people. Windows Phone 8 is based on the same core technologies that power Windows 8. As a result, Windows Phone 8 will come equipped with a new wave of features for consumers, developers, and businesses.
Microsoft claims that with Windows Phone 8, similarities between Windows 8 and this latest smartphone OS is more than just skin deep. He states, “We’ve based the next release of Windows Phone on the rock-solid technology core of Windows 8.” Expanding on this, Belfiore states that Windows Phone and its older sibling will share common networking, security, media and web browser technology, and a common file system. These features will translate into better performance, more features, and new opportunities for app developers and hardware makers to innovate faster.
Here is a look at some of the highlighted features available on Windows Phone 8:
The Windows Phone 8 OS also comes with a flexible new Start screen. Microsoft states, “We’re making Windows Phone 8 even more personal, with a new palette of theme colors and three sizes of Live Tiles, all of which are under your control. We know Live Tiles are one of the things current owners really love about their Windows Phones, and we wanted to make them even more flexible and unique.”
Unfortunately existing handsets will not receive the Windows Phone 8 OS but instead will receive an update to their existing OS in the form of Windows Phone 7.8. (via Tech2)

These features will translate into better performance, more features, and new opportunities for app developers and hardware makers to innovate faster.
Here is a look at some of the highlighted features available on Windows Phone 8:

- NFC wireless sharing - In Windows Phone 8, NFC helps make sharing photos, Office docs, and contact info easier. One can achieve this by tapping their phone on another NFC-equipped device.
- Internet Explorer 10 - The next version of Windows Phone comes with the same web browsing engine that’s headed for Window 8 PCs and tablets. Microsoft claims that IE10 is faster and more secure, with advanced anti-phishing features like SmartScreen Filter to block dangerous websites and malware.
- Wallet - Windows Phone 8’s new digital Wallet feature does two things. It can keep debit and credit cards, coupons, boarding passes and other important info right at one’s fingertips. And when paired with a secure SIM from your carrier, users can also pay for things with a tap of your phone at compatible checkout counters.
- Better maps and directions - Windows Phone 8 builds in Nokia mapping as part of the platform. This partnership will provide more detailed maps and turn-by-turn directions in many countries, plus the ability to store maps offline on your phone so you can work with maps without a data connection.
