Rare Replay offers even more games

Rare Replay is a video game compilation developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios. The game is set to be released on August 4, 2015 for Xbox One. 
Rare-Replay

Rare-Replay

Rare Replay is a collection of 30 video games all previously developed by Rare in celebration of the company's 30th anniversary. Rare brings together the adventures of its iconic characters in a collection that spans the decades. The compilation will include the Xbox 360 ports of Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Perfect Dark, not their original Nintendo 64 versions. Xbox 360 games that originally included online multiplayer, such as Perfect Dark Zero and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, retain these features in the compilation release, and will include most of their downloadable content. Some older games have an option to add the appearance of scanlines by clicking the right analog stick, or an option to "rewind" progress in the game. 
Rare took their time deciding which games to include in the Rare Replay collection, even if it went against personal choices of some team members. The game collection is not pleasing everyone, especially those who expected their favourite games to be included. But those 30 games are not the end of it though, as more could be added in the future, according to Rare's James Thomas. 'There is a wealth of titles that we could dip into; a huge heritage beyond the 30 that we chose,' said Thomas.
Coming to the Xbox One next Tuesday! Are there a favorite of yours?

How to play Black Desert from outside of Japan

The article is for players who want to play Black Desert but is not from Japan. If you do not wish to spend time and money on a game that will come out until around mid 2016 for NA area, a Japan VPN allows you play it now.

black-desert

Some players may meet a problem when try to test the game by running it to see if it will even run on your computer before obtaining an account, then that will not be possible. Trying to run the game without an account will run you into an error. To reach this error, you must download the full game. Clicking the orange launch button after completing the install will incur this error. The reason why is because you are suppose to log in from the website, and launch from there. However If your goal is to reach this error before committing to obtaining an account, then you are on the right path.

Another problem, you are unable to access to Black Desert due to outside of Japan. A VPN can change your IP address to a Japanese one. I have tried some Japan VPN servers, but most of them are blocked by the game. Finally, I found FlyVPN, not all of their Japanese servers are able to unblock Black Desert, only their new servers like Japan 12, 13 or 14 are able to unblock Black Desert. Their basic premium shared IP VPN package users are able to obtain these Japanese servers. 

If you don't know how to use VPN, read on their VPN setup guides.

The Swindle coming next week

The Swindle will be launched 28th July on PC and PlayStation platforms (PS4, PS3, Vita), 31st July on Xbox One, and then Wii U shortly after. The Swindle is a mix of stealth and platforming gameplay, with some roguelike and RPG elements thrown in.

The-Swindle

The Swindle is a game about breaking in and robbing, and then breaking back out again. It combines the rigour of Spelunky with the panic of a ticking clock. And it's a side-scrolling platformer. It is the new game from Dan Marshall, known from such games as Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please!. 
Curve Studios is bringing the game to PlayStation systems, Xbox One and Wii U later in 2015 alongside the Steam release from Size Five Games. The game is about infiltrating various facilities to steal their money and escape with multiple ways to complete that task. Players can, for example, take the stealthy route and try to enter through a skylight on the roof, or tackle it head-on and hack the security cameras before blowing up a wall and going in guns blazing.
Everything is prepared, but gamers are often confused by high ping when play games. At this time, change into a better server is the only choice that is left. However, some gamers have complained that even if they had changed into several VPN servers, they could not still achieve the low ping that they had expected. Choosing a good VPN is very important. Then which VPN is good? First, they should provide lots of servers in different countries. Second, the servers need to be well performed, smooth, high speed, stable and reliable. FlyVPN is a VPN that highly be used for players. You can have a try of their service by using their free VPN accounts

Lost Dimension

Lost Dimension is a 2014 video game developed by Lancarse for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The combat seems fairly common, just like any other RPG, you'll be playing turned based battles with attacks and skills. It is a tactical role-playing video game with visual novel-like elements, where the choices of the player determine the fate of the game's story, as well as its characters. 
But what makes this game unique is its story. You are a team comprised of 12 psychics, each having a different power, which an agency called SEALED brought together to save the world from a new threat who calls himself The End. He plans to destroy the Earth in 13 days, and it's up to you to stop him. The interesting thing about the game is how there will be traitors among you and you must figure out who's who.

How to buy games in lower price

Players from different regions need to pay different prices for the same game on Origin. Using VPN service to change IP address is a very easy and cost-effective method to get better prices for online games
origin

I came across an interesting fact that I could buy games on Origin at a cheaper price when buying through a different country. I noticed this when I buy Witcher 3. Origin quoted $53.99 while I'm connecting to a USA server, but showed the same game listed for 35.99 USD when Mexico server is on and €53.99 for European IPs. I finally bought the game through the Mexico server, saving a lot. In case of not be tagged as a fraud transaction, you can inform the bank that you would be making online purchases through a foreign online shop. Even with geo-location tagging in place, this trick is not illegal, as long as you inform the credit card company beforehand about using your card on a foreign website, the transaction will process.
Activating a VPN simply changed my IP address, and displayed my status as a user located in same region as that of the VPN server I had selected. Restricting access to content based on where you are in the world is a popular strategy, and it's used far too often by multinational tech giants. The brilliant feature of using a VPN is that your IP address and location are hidden from websites, ensuring a private and anonymous online experience. A free VPN is enough for change your IP and purchase the game in a cheaper price. You can use FlyVPN's VPN free accounts, offering about one hour for free each day.
Try purchasing games through a VPN, maybe you'll save a few bucks.
