The new Sony Ericsson Yari is specifically targeted to give consumers the ultimate gaming experience. It may lack the most innovative slider but don’t fret this little device has many surprises in its sleeves. The Yari has a decent 5-mega pixel camera with auto focus. But its real focus has to be its gaming functionality.

Thanks to the built in GestureTek, the new Sony Ericsson Yari can use its own camera to detect your moves and translate them into gaming moves. It can also do some wireless multiplayer games. The technology has already been introduced in Japan through its DoCoMo cellphones but it is only now that it has been readily available for worldwide use.

The design of the Sony Ericsson Yari is simple and neat that will attract many conservative users. But the hood may seem a bit obnoxious that might not appeal to many tech freaks. For starters it has two small knobs present above the display which are actually dedicated for gaming. Between the keys are the light sensors, earpiece and the secondary camera.

It sports a 2.4 inch screen with 262K color display, pretty well for viewing pictures. Underneath the LCD screen lies the ample D-pad which is sided by six controls topped with thin soft key followed by a huge call and end key.

Sliding up the phone reveals the 12-key alphanumeric keypad. The phone also supports a standard 3.5mm jack and the micro/mini USB port for transferring files in a breeze. To our surprise the phone is equipped with the same Walkman music player but not being a complete Walkman device. Consider this phone more of a hybrid combining both Cybershot and Walkman elements all into one.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson Yari is a great phone with excellent gaming capabilities. It has revolutionized the way we think of phones and it is well suited to many gamers.

Dragon Age: Origins Review

If you’re hunting for dragons then Dragon Age: Origins is the game suitable for you. When was the last time you set foot on a fantasy world only to be whacked in the head by a newspaper for daydreaming in Physics class? Dragon Age: Origins is that kind of game which has rich storyline and excellent graphics that bring the wicked of imaginations to life.

Set in the fictional life of Ferelden, you meet many memorable characters in which you fight and make a cause for which you believe in. Dragon Age has the best storyline to date. BioWare’s new role playing game has set gamers to pit of one hell of an adventure that would leave them begging for more. The story is simply brilliant and well crafted. It is lengthy though but proves to be entertaining in the end.

Dragon Age’s plot is set on the time when hordes of demonic creatures called as Darkspawn. You create your own party of heroes and develop a close connection with them in return for a great adventure you lead your party on. In the world of Dragon Age you develop your character and make them strong all throughout the game. Meeting new companions and completing quest is one of the few things you can do as you progress the storyline early on in the game.

All in all the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions have their own set of unique challenges. Sound quality is decent from the character dialogues and background music. Not very much epic compared to that of God of War. In terms of graphics, its pretty good with excellent rendering of creatures and character details.

Dragon Age: Origins is definitely worth playing as it can easily rival many modern day RPG’s. Bioware did a great job on putting a game like this and ended up a decent action paced RPG that doesn’t get old.
