Batman Arkham City PC FiGHTCLUB

Here we have scene release of a long awaited game Batman: Arkham City. I have played Batman: Arkham Asylum and I loved it. Can’t wait to play this one. This will be another sleepless night for me.Read installation instructions before download.Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security home for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Features:
Become the Dark Knight — Batman: Arkham City delivers a genuinely authentic Batman experience with advanced, compelling gameplay on every level: high-impact street brawls, nail-biting stealth, multifaceted forensic investigation, epic super-villain encounters and unexpected glimpses into Batman’s tortured psychology.
Play as Catwoman — Catwoman is a fully playable character in Batman: Arkham City who has her own storyline in the main game which is seamlessly interwoven with Batman’s story arc. Her navigation skills, combat moves and gadgetry have been specifically designed to deliver a fully featured and unique experience.
Advanced FreeFlow Combat — Batman faces highly coordinated, simultaneous attacks from every direction as Arkham’s gangs bring heavy weapons and all-new AI to the fight, but Batman steps it up with twice the number of combat animations and double the range of attacks, counters and takedowns.
New Gadgets — Batman has access to new gadgets such as the Cryptographic Sequencer V2 and Smoke Pellets, as well as new functionality for existing gadgets that expand the range of Batman’s abilities without adding extra weight to his Utility Belt.
New Story — Five-time Emmy-Award-winner Paul Dini returns to pen a brand-new story for Batman: Arkham City, taking gamers deep inside the diseased heart of Gotham.
Arkham Has Moved — Following the closure of Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison, Gotham’s new mayor, Quincy Sharp ordered the relocation of all inmates to Arkham City. This sprawling new super-prison is five times bigger than Arkham Island, enclosing a wide variety of industrial districts, iconic locations and Gotham landmarks.

Note:

There was some kind of custom protection on the installer, so we decided to circumvent this issue by providing own installer. Why make it complicated. Enjoy!

Install Notes

 1. Unpack the files from DVD1 and DVD2.
  2. Mount or burn the images.
  3. Install the game by running Setup.exe from DVD1. When asked to insert disk 2 point it to DVD2.
  4. Run Gfwlivesetup.exe from DVD2 to install GFWL client.
  5. To apply crack copy the folder inside FiGHTCLUB folder on DVD2 to installation folder overwriting any existing files.
  6. Start the game with /Binaries/Win32/BatmanAC.exe If game tries to connect to internet block it in firewall.
  7. When Games For Windows Live pops up choose to create a local profile.

Ps. ON FIRST RUN the game might crash at startup. This is NOT crack-related since it happens with original too.

Spider-Man & the Five List From ColomboZone

It was all any geek could get to last night: the new Amazing Spider-Mantrailer, have you seen it yet? Capitalising on all the activity around the Super Bowl, Sony decided not to join the others in releasing new trailers during the game, but just after the game. Like Beyonce, Spidey wanted all the attention for himself. 


My first impressions from the preview: OMG Andrew Garfield is so f-cking sexy. As for the nerd vote, which is really what counts here, I’ve hit up half a dozen sites and the general consensus seems to be very, very positive: so far, even though it’s only been 5 years since the last one, they’re into the new Spidey. 


Did I mention Andrew Garfield is really hot? 


Hot enough, totally, for the Five List. But here’s the thing about that - I love him so much with Emma Stone, I’m not interested in casting him in any personal fantasy. 


Anyway, they were all saying that the summer was supposed to be a fight between The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. This trailer has a few people starting the conversation: will Spidey make it a 3 way way brawl?

The new trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ offers a different – but epic – take on the Spider-Man origin story. Watch it here.

Of all the upcoming reboots and remakes on the slate for 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man is probably one of the most debated.
The film is a complete re-imagining of the Spider-Man film universe – one that carries heavy traces of the more modern Spider-Man mythos (as featured in Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Mancomic books), rather than the classic Spider-Man comics that were the basis of  Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movie trilogy early in the new millennium.



The first Amazing Spider-Man trailer left the fanbase severely divided. Some were intrigued by the seemingly darker and more modern take on NYC teenager Peter Parker’s transformation into an arachnid-powered superhero; others thought that star Andrew Garfield was offering a more “Emo” take on  Peter P., and that the differences in tone, costume, and the details of Spider-Man’s origin story were too divergent from the character’s established cannon.
Well, suffice to say that this new Amazing Spider-Man trailer does enough stuff right to at least see this as a worthy re-visit to some familiar cinematic material. Check it out for yourself, below:



Let’s be clear: This is indeed a different take on Spider-Man. Sure, there are clear shades of influence from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics – including Gwen Stacy, the role of Oscorp, how Peter’s parents’ past is tied with his extraordinary fate as well as that of Dr. Connors. Other elements – like the  contemporary NYC look of  teenage characters like Peter and Gwen, to the darker, grittier Dark Knight-esque aesthetic – are new to the Spidey universe. But in my (sole) opinion, those tweaks and changes – while perhaps initially jarring – ultimately work to make ASM a better movie experience.
This trailer  changes the game. Before, most comic book movie fans would probably agree that the big contest was between Marvel Studios’ The Avengers and Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises; however, it now seems as if Spider-Man is swinging into the ring as a potential contender. Going to be an interesting summer for superhero movie fans.


The Amazing Spider-Man will be in theaters (2D and 3D) on July 3, 2012.

New Release: K'NAAN, 'Is Anybody Out There'

K'NAAN FEAT. NELLY FURTADO
"Is Anybody Out There" (3:58)
Producers: Sham & Motesart
Writers: various
Publishing: various
A&M/Octone Records 
The first single from Somalian hip-hop artist K'NAAN'a new EP "More Beautiful Than Silence" picks up right where uplifting cuts like "Wavin' Flag" left off, this time with pop chameleon Nelly Furtado handling the chorus. Next to Furtado's breezy hook, which recalls her pre-Timbaland material like "Turn Off The Light," K'NAAN's uplifting subject matter sounds very much at home. Sometimes his musings are clever ("You can point a finger, but there's three pointing back"), but other times, his "troubled youth" anecdotes ("Adam was lonely, drugs were the only") come off a little too reminiscent of P.O.D.'s "Youth of a Nation." Even if K'NAAN is turning into an artist that a high school guidance counselor would love, his often eclectic, always earnest brand of pretense-free rap-pop is difficult to dislike. If his latest single is any indication, "More Beautiful Than Silence" is poised to keep "Troubadour" enthusiasts coming back for more.

Adobe gives Photoshop CS6 a new graphics-chip boost

Adobe uses a computer's GPU to accelerate the Liquify plug-in. (Click to enlarge.)

Adobe Systems has released a second advance look at Photoshop CS6 that shows new work to give a hardware boost to the image-editing software.

The graphics processing unit (GPU) speeds the Liquify tool, which lets people smear images in a finger-painting way, according to a Zorana Gee, a Photoshop product manager. She demonstrated the change in a YouTube video, the second in what looks to be a series of previews of the software. An earlier Photoshop CS6 preview showed new raw image editing tools adopted from the Lightroom 4 beta, a darker user interface, and improvements to brush size selection. Expect Adobe to add more previews but to withhold some goodies for the official launch sometime later in the first half of 2012.

When firing up the Liquify plug-in with the current Photoshop CS5.x to edit a 100MB image, the image arrives only gradually, broken up into multiple tiles. "And further, if I want to increase my brush size beyond 1,500 pixels, I can't," Gee said. Worse, when she tries to use the brush, there's a big lag between her stroke and the on-screen result.

In CS6, she said, the image opens immediately in the Liquify filter, the brush size goes beyond 14,000 pixels, and interactive performance is snappy.

"You can see real-time editing--no lag," Gee said. "Your edits immediately follow your cursor."

It's not clear if the GPU help applies to other new tools. Adobe has added other GPU acceleration to assorted features in earlier versions of Photoshop.

Another feature is background save, which lets you do other work while you save a large file, though apparently you can't work on the file itself as it saves.

Photoshop is one of the most popular programs from the San Jose, Calif.-based company, but Adobe is in the midst of a transition to a $600-per-year subscription called the Creative Cloud that combines Photoshop with all the other Creative Suite programs, the Touch mobile apps, and online services for publishing and connecting socially to other subscribers. Cheaper subscriptions and traditional perpetual licenses also will be available for those who want individual packages.

Adobe had wanted to add the GPU acceleration and background save features to Photoshop for some time, but programmers had been derailed by the need to move from Apple's older Carbon user interface to its newer Cocoa interface after Apple canceled its plans for 64-bit Carbon support, said John Nack, an Adobe principal product manager.

"Both of these features have been in the team's sights for a long time, but they kept getting derailed by things like the Carbon-to-Cocoa conversion effort. Nice to have that behind us," Nack said in a blog post.

Madonna, 'Give Me All Your Luvin''

When Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin'" fell victim to a widely publicized leak in November, this reviewer's main reaction was, "that's it?" Sure, the track had many elements of the song types currently dominating the radio -- peppy production, a cheerleader chant straight out of "Hollaback Girl," an easy-to-remember chorus -- but it felt like something was missing. When Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. were confirmed to appear on the finalized track, the assumed missing piece was "guest raps," but now that "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is out in full, very little has changed. What the raps add, if anything, is a temporary distraction from the tedious proceedings: Minaj spits her guest verse so quickly, the listener barely has time to register lines like "I'm Roman / I'm a barbarian / I'm Conan" before she's off the track. Ditto M.I.A., who appears just long enough to drop a few scientific adjectives ("supersonic / bionic / uranium") before effectively dropping the mic with, "I'ma say this once -- yeah, I don't give a shit." It amounts to a subpar effort from all parties, particularly Madonna, who hasn't sounded this robotic since the more tweaked-out moments on her last album, "Hard Candy." Here's hoping her other collaborations with Solveig, as well as longtime collaborator William Orbit, produce better dance-pop results when new album "M.D.N.A." comes out March 26.
