Capture This

Most Mac users are familiar with iPhoto, the photo management componentof Apple’s popular iLife suite of products. In October, Apple releasedAperture, a photo management and image processing solution designed for professional photographers.Aperture also comes at the professional-grade price of $499.

Video Raised the New Gadget Bar

The holiday shopping season is again upon us. All around the world,consumers by the millions will be buying the latest electronic gadgetsfor friends and family. Trumping the digital music player competitiononce again, Apple released video versions of the iPod just in time tosatisfy the excessive spending appetites of holiday season shoppers.

The day before the introduction of the video iPod, Apple executives intheir quarterly conference call with Wall Street analysts stated inresponse to an analyst question that the then-unnamed new product wasincluded in the company’s conservative holiday quarter financialforecasts. We’ll see come January if Apple hands its investors one moreholiday season surprise.

Evolution and Intelligent Design

Communities across the country are debating whether or not the theoryof Intelligent Design should be taught in science classrooms alongsidethe evolving theory of Evolution.

Mac buyers need not engage in such a conflict when it comes topurchasing a new computer. The recently updated iMac is an evolutionarystep in Apple’s product development, while evidencing the next stage ofintelligent home computer design.

The new iMac has a remote control for the new Front Row multimedia experience and a built-in iSight video camera.

The Quad

A quad is often described as a rectangular open space surrounded bybuildings or one of four children born at the same time with threeother siblings. In this case a quad is the latest in chip technologyintroduced into Apple’s Power Mac product line.

Sporting dual-core G5 chips, the new Power Macs provide users with enhanced performance and fresh video card options.Representing the last of the four October new product announcements,the new Power Macs should be quite popular with buyers in highereducation, allowing students who often walk through a quad on the wayto classes the opportunity to use the best in Apple technology toadvance their pursuit of knowledge.

Record-Setting Results

When ATPM began publication over ten years ago, many PC industry punditsand Wall Street analysts considered that Apple’s best chance for survivalwas as a strong division or semi-independent subsidiary of a muchlarger technology company.

Today, Apple remains an independent, publicly traded company and is nowconsidered one of the most successful technology and consumerelectronics companies of our time. While the company finds itself in apleasant juxtaposition due to its success in both its personal computerand consumer electronics businesses, the company is also experiencingrecord-setting results. For the fourth fiscal quarter and the mostrecent fiscal year Apple reported the following:

For the three months ended September 24, 2005, Apple Computerreported revenue of $3.68 billion and net quarterly income of $430million. For the full fiscal year ended the say day, Appleannounced revenue of $13.93 billion and net income of $1.335billion. The quarterly and fiscal year results set new revenue andearnings records for the Cupertino-based company. In the fourthfiscal quarter Apple shipped 1.236 million Macs and 6.451 millioniPod digital music players. Apple ended the fiscal year with about$8.261 billion in cash and short-term investments.

In other news Apple announced that Timothy D. Cook has been named ChiefOperating Officer.

Commandos Battle Pack Mac Download Torrent

Price: $50

Requirements: 500 MHz Mac with Mac OS X 10.2, 256 MB RAM, 1.85 GB disk space

Recommended: 867 MHz Mac, 32 MB VRAM, 2.5 GB disk space

Trial: Feature-limited (Commandos 3 Demo)

The Commandos Battle Pack includes two games, Commandos 2: Men ofCourage and Commandos 3: Destination Berlin. Both are real-timestrategy games from an overhead viewpoint, similar to Myth. Thestorylines follow WW II missions that take advantage of the commandos’special skills and span much of Europe.

In each mission, you control one or more members of an elite Alliedunit, usually facing off against vastly superior German forces behindenemy lines. The size difference means that stealth plays a big role,so save the trigger finger for the first-person shooters.

The Green Beret’s knife will silently dispatch enemies, but hidethe body afterwards.

Installation

Both games install from the DVD, and you need it mounted to play.Included are print and PDF versions of the user manual. Keep the manual closeat hand for Men of Courage, but you’ll need it less during DestinationBerlin.

Note that the printable Keyboard Guide uses the default settings forMen of Courage. Destination Berlin, however, changes the defaultlayout. If you want the same layout for both games, select “UseCommandos 2 shortcuts” from the setup options. This can affect howcomfortable you feel moving from one game to the other.

Gameplay

Both games progress in a similar way. An intro storyline lays out themission objective and shows you which commandos are involved (usuallytwo or three, sometimes just one). Study the layout and movement ofNazi soldiers and vehicles on the map, explore buildings to find ammoor equipment, and slowly work your way through the objectives.

You start with the training missions, and it’s a good thing, too.(Don’t worry, they’re not insultingly simple.) After finishing them,you’ll have a better understanding of how to switch between commandos,use weapons, and maneuver around enemies.

You do a lot of crawling to avoid alerting enemies to your presence.Watch their fields of vision to find openings. You can usually get veryclose to soldiers without their knowledge—if you’re quiet about it.

Each commando’s name says something about his skills: Sniper, Thief,Spy, etc. The cut scenes and in-game responses have decent voiceacting, giving each a little personality. (Too much would probably be adistraction.) Typical objectives include blowing something up, stealingsomething important, or contacting Allied spies already in the field.

Grenades can take out small vehicles and groups of enemies.

A major difference between Men of Courage and Destination Berlin is themission help. In Men of Courage, you start with a primary objectivethat gains secondary goals as the mission proceeds. A checklistmeasures your progress and gives you pointers to the next importantlocation.

In Destination Berlin, the creators apparently decided that was way toomuch help. You get a vague goal description, a little introconversation, and no friendly checklist. It’s like night and day andcan be very frustrating when you start playing Destination Berlin. Tocompound that, its manual is very sparse on gameplay. The Men ofCourage version at least includes weapon-usage notes and more detail onthe game controls.

The game supports Internet multi-player through GameRanger. However, Iwas unable to find GameRanger opponents after checking a number oftimes. If you do choose multi-player, Men of Courage has a co-operativemission mode, but Destination Berlin has competitive missions such asCapture the Flag.

Graphics

The game graphics show care, even if they’re slightly dated. The mapsin both games have sophisticated layouts of 3D areas, but are renderedwell for an angled 2D viewpoint. There are four fixed outdoorviewpoints, which you switch between as needed. Indoors, you can freelyrotate the camera. Sometimes, building angles hide spots you want toinvestigate, though (which can be frustrating).

The Sapper confronts a Nazi inside a town building.

Destination Berlin adds great weather effects, such as a drivingsnowstorm or plodding rain. You can zoom in and out to see actionacross the map, but play slows down notably when zoomed out. Playerswith good 3D cards will benefit.

Play Control

Control in both games is much like Myth and other overhead real-timegames. You scroll around the map, direct characters to one or morelocations, and do a lot of clicking because fine-tuned locations arehard to specify on a wide view. Changing perspective is easy enough,but Commandos does little to solve the persistent interface issues of“Go there! No, there! Not around the fence!” and “Can’t you seethe tank bearing down on you? Run!”

The Nazis respond to actions with some intelligence, but all Commandoactions are up to the player. (However, you can tell them to watch an area andshoot anything that walks across it.)

Adding backup commands to your players would be a huge help, such as“Duck if someone starts shooting at you” or “Retreat to this safe areaif a patrol comes around.” The clumsy nature of the controls basicallydemands a stealth game, since actually shooting it out with enemiesquickly exposes how slowly your players react.

The red view means the Nazis have seen you. Get ready to reloadyour game.

Annoyances

Passing one of the Destination Berlin’s tutorial missions requires theSpy’s “Distract” skill. Thanks to IGNfor noting that it requires a Control-click to open this command menu. Themanual says nothing about it, but you can’t finish the training missionotherwise. After the Spy dons an officer’s uniform, Control-click theaction commands.

Settings

My 32 MB Radeon 7500 video card provided clean graphics at 800x600pixels, but action slowed down when zoomed out on the map.Higher-performance cards with more VRAM will no doubt perform better.

Tips

Learn and use the functions keys instead of clicking through the menus.

F5 makes enemies glow red.

F7 highlights boxes and building entrances.

F9 does a “quick save” of your game.

F11 is “quick load.”

You’ll use F9 and F11 a lot as you work through the mission, usually torecover after making a strategic mistake (i.e., wandering into a hailof bullets).

Bugs

In 30-plus hours of gameplay, the game crashed a few times, but therewere no repetitive bugs. Check the Feral Interactive site for updatesjust in case, but there were no patches at press time.

Summary

The two games have interesting storylines and challenging missions, butcome with a third game called “How many times will you click in thewrong place and reload your game?”

There’s obviously care in the graphics and level design, and thechallenge of overcoming hordes of enemies with just a handful of troopspulls you in. If only there were situational commands and improvementsto the player movement, it would rate a Very Nice. As it is, Good willhave to be good enough.
