WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is one of the few telecommunication technologies that will provide the users a fast way to access the Internet with their communication devices or laptops. For end users, this revolutionary technology means there will be new devices that will easily connect to the Internet.

WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard and also known as WirelessMAN. In this technology, WiFi-like data rates are easily supported, but the issue of interference is lessened. It operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies, providing a regulated environment and viable economic model for wireless carriers.

Recently US leading wireless broadband internet and phone service providers Clearwire and Sprint Nextel tie up their hands to develop a high-speed mobile network based this kind of technology. The companies are planning to launched their WiMax network launched by the end of this year and covers approximately 10 to 15 million people in the United States.

Hitman: Blood & Money is a game created by IO Interactive, published under Edios Interactive and directed by Rasmus Hojengaard. It is the fourth part in the Hitman game series and it came out on May 26 in Europe and in Usa it came out on May 20, 2006 for the Playstation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360. This game was also made available for Mobile Phone but with different gameplay, graphics and overall style.

The story is about the life of a professional Hitman Agent 47, which is being told by a former FBI director to a journalist who is interviewing him at his own home. This story is told in short scenes in the game. The former FBI director is on a wheelchair and he recounts his memory on how his agency tracked Agent 47 over a period of two years. The tone of the Hitman: Blood & Money, is completely different from the previous versions of the game like: Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. The game is also different in many other ways from previous three versions like: the “covert ops” settings of Silent Assassin, Codename 47 and Contracts missions.

Gameplay

The concept of the game Hitman: Blood & Money is somewhat similar to the previous versions of the game in which the player character (Agent 47) has to kill one or more individuals in order to accomplish the mission. In order to stop him from completing his missions there are many obstacles such as: security checkpoints, armed guards and many more. In order to guide the Agent 47 through various levels in the game he can take the help of a satellite map whenever he wishes too. The map shows the layout of every topographical area in the various levels, in which he can see his main targets, and other CPU-controlled characters. In order to complete his missions, Agent 47 can take any measures without thinking about witnesses or other people (Innocent People) which gets killed during his mission. In the series rewarding stealth over bloodshed was traditional but Hitman: Blood & Money also includes a feature in which the player is directly penalized for making too much ‘noise’.

Various new features were included in Hitman: Blood & Money. These are: able to climb through more obstacles, improved hand to hand combat, able to use an NPC as a human shield, more detailed features for a character (Face, Eyes, etc), a new game engine and also able to upgrade weapons and equipment. Well, only five of the featured weapons along with some assorted pieces of equipment such as bombs and armor, can be upgraded. Every level contains some kind of a method to make a target’s assassination look like an accident for example, grills are being tampered so that they can be made to explode when they are turned on, making a chandelier to fall on a target, or the target ‘accidentally’ falling of a balcony. There some other things which can also be used as weapons, like a nailgun or a pair of hedge clippers.

A new gameplay feature was also added to the Hitman series, the “Notoriety” system. Suppose, if the player, during his mission, kills an innocent person, gets caught on CCTV or is witnessed during the killing, the notoriety of Agent 47 will rise. On the contrary, if the player completes his mission without committing any of the mistakes mentioned above, then his notoriety level will be less. It gets easier for NPC to identify, Agent 47 when his notoriety level is high. Agent 47 can also use the bribery system to negate accumulated notoriety. In the “Rookie” mode, the notoriety system is not enabled, it also allows you to make unlimited saves and the general difficulty is also lower.

A newspaper article is displayed regarding the hit, in which the investigation information is available along with the Agent 47 (Player’s) notoriety, when each mission is accomplished. In detail, it shows the most frequently used weapon, how perfectly was the weapon used, the number of civilians, security and police killed or injured, and if there was any witness for the crime. Injured people are counted as witness. The number of witnesses will also affect Agent 47’s (Player’s) Notoriety. Sketch drawings of Agent 47’s (Player’s) face gets more accurate with the rise in the notoriety. The article’s title relates to the Agent 47 (Player’s) mission rating. The best possible rating for a mission is “Silent Assassin” in which you kill the target as cleanly and quietly as possible, and without drawing any unnecessary attention to yourself (blow your cover, leave no extra bodies, etc).

Hitman: Blood & Money has also improved the melee weapons system, which allows Agent 47 (Player) to throw certain things at NPCs (i.e. Kitchen Knives, Stilletos, etc.). Once these things are thrown on to anybody, then they cannot be retrieved.

Hitman: Blood & Money also has a rival assassin for the storyline.

The world of technology changes every day. The Oz scientists have now introduced EPOC headset that allows the player to control their video games by the power of their minds. So, the joy sticks are becoming the part of the history. Australian technological concern Emotiv Systems will release this revolutionary range in US market this year at a price tag of 299 US dollars. However, Australians can buy this headset online.

This headset works on the principles of voice recognition. Embedded with 14 sensors for measuring electrical impulses from the brain, the headset - which plugs into the PC’s USB port - will enable games to register facial expressions, emotions and even cognitive thoughts, allowing players to perform in-game actions just by visualizing them.

This technological innovation enables the player to perform those same thoughts in the game the software knows to associate them with the correct action, such as rotate object or push object. (Agencies)
