So here we have possibly the cheapest specification list for a GAMING PC which would certainly be able to play Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) upto 40 frames per second and other famous games as well at depending considerable frames per second. If components are bought used, the cost may not exceed $100, however if new components are bought, price may rise upto $150-$170

So first we have our AMD APU. The Super AMD A8-7600 3.1GHz Quad Core with Radeon R7 Integrated Graphics, so you won't need to buy a Graphics Card, thus saving up some bucks! With 2 x 2 MB L2 Cache and a Max Turbo Frequency of upto 3.8GHz, this APU will let you play games like GTA 5, CS GO, ROCKET LEAGUE and DOTA 2 without any lag. A stock cooler is also accompanied with the processor for maintaining the temperature during the Turbo Mode. Will cost you about $70 new.

The Motherboard we'll be using for this build would be the ASRock FM2A88M PRO3. With Overclockable DDR3 Ram, this motherboard allows dual channeling as well. It has 8 x SATA3, 4 x USB 3.0 (2 Front, 2 Rear), 8 x USB 2.0,1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 and 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. It also allows Dual AMD Graphics in case you later want to upgrade. Graphics Output Options include D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI port. Will cost you about $50 new.

As for the RAM, Crucial (or any other good brand) 2 x 2 GB 1600 MHz Ram would work (However we prefer 2 x 4 GB RAM since we're using an APU) and this dual channeling will hence result in a considerable better performance. Both Ram sticks would cost around $20 new.

A Western Digital 250GB 7200rpm HARD DISK would be enough to fulfill your Gaming storage needs. Will cost you around $10 new.

As for the Power Supply Unit (PSU) and Casing, we recommend any simple casing with an attached 500 Watt PSU to keep the cost as low as possible. Will cost around $15 new.

Buying other components such as coolers and peripherals depend on the flexibility of your budget.

Introduction

Pokémon Go is a free to play augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic and published by Pokémon Company as part of the Pokémon franchise. The game was release on July, 2016 and now is available for free download on both Android and iOS devices.
The game allows players to capture, battle and train virtual creatures called Pokémon that appear throughout the real world.
The game uses device’s camera, GPS and clock to detect the location of device and what time it is in a game which increases the funny of it. And as you move around to different places while playing the game different ‘Pokémon’ appear depending on the location of your device and the time.

The environment or background of the game varies depending on your location and the time, for instance if you go near lakes or ocean you will find water types environment and Pokémon, and if you go out at night you will find fairy and ghost types. The game’s background represents virtually your current location and let you find the nearby Pokémon.

Pokemon Go imitates the environment of your location

The game has become popular after few weeks of its release surpassing the record that was held by ‘Candy Crush saga’ as the most used smart devices apps in the United States. The goal of the game is to collect as many virtual creatures as you can which looks like snakes, rats, dragons, dinosaurs, fish, eggs or trees.

An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device the Pokémon Go plus is now available to alert players when the Pokémon are nearby. The device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and notifies the player about events in the game, such as the appearance of a Pokémon nearby using an LED and vibration.

Pokémon Go plus

When a Pokémon is close, the light on the Pokémon Go plus will flash. It will also flash and vibrate when you pass a Pokémon. Once a Pokémon is close, press the button on the Pokémon Go Plus to throw a Poke’ ball. And you will only be able to throw a ball using a Pokémon Go plus if you have caught the Pokémon before. The Pokémon Go Plus will flash and vibrate to let you know that you have your catch.

Although the game has received positive comments from medical personnel that it enhance and improves physical and mental well-being of the players, there have been reports of causing accidents.

How to play the game

After logging into the app for the first, the player creates an avatar. The player can choose style, hair, skin and eye color from different number of outfits for their avatar. The created avatar along with the player’s immediate surroundings will be displayed at the player’s current location. Features on the map includes a number of PokéStops and Pokémon gyms and are located at different areas such as public art installations, historical markers, historic buildings and other memorials, public parks and fountains, places of worship and other points of cultural significance.

As you move while playing, the avatar moves along the game’s map. When a player encounters a Pokémon they may view it in either an augmented reality (AR) mode or with a pre-rendered background.

AR mode uses the device’s camera and gyroscope to display image of Pokémon as though it were in the real world. Also a player can take pictures of the Pokémon they encounter using an in-game camera both with and without the AR mode activated.

To capture a Pokémon, the player may throw a Poké Ball at it. If the Pokémon is successfully caught it will come under the ownership of the player. Factors in the success rate of capture include the right force, the right time and the type of Poké Ball used.

Candies and stardust are the in-game currencies used to award the player after capturing a wild Pokémon. The candies awarded by a successful catch depends on what evolutionary chain a Pokémon belongs to. A player can use stardust and candies to raise a Pokémon's "combat power" (CP). However, only candies are needed to evolve a Pokémon. Each Pokémon evolution tree has its own type of candy which can only be used to evolve or level up. The player can also transfer the Pokémon back to the Pokémon professor to earn one more candy and create room for more Pokémon.

The goal of the game is to complete the entries in the Pokédex by capturing and evolving to obtain 151 Pokémon.

Players earn experience points for various activities in the game and rise in level as they earn experience points. At level five, the player is able to battle at a Pokemon gym and join one of three teams (Team Valor, Team Instinct and Team Mystic). If a player enters a Pokemon Go gym that is controlled by a player that is not part of their team, they can challenge the leader to lower the gyms prestige. Once the prestige of a gym is lowered to zero then the player will take control of the gym and is able to deposit one Pokemon to defend it. Also, a team can upgrade the prestige of a gym under their control by battling the gym leader.

We hope that you will now, "not" stand as a dumbo when your friends discuss about Pokemon Go.

Kanye West has shared the first trailer for his new videogame, Only One, during the release party for his new album The Life of Pablo.

Only One is inspired by West’s song of the same name, and is a tribute to his late mother, Donda West. Not much is known about the gameplay, but players have to guide Donda “to the gates of the heaven by holding her to the light”, which we see in the trailer below.

After the trailer played through, West thanked the fans in attendance and said of creating the game “That’s not easy to do, man!”. He then played the trailer through one more time before moving on.

According to West, the game has been in development for about a year and a half. Still no news on a release date or what platforms we’ll be seeing it on, but Only One should be coming soon, apparently.

Far Cry : Primal is ...refreshing! I have always enjoyed FC games but after FC4 , which was a thoroughly enjoyable game but felt a lot like an expansion to FC3 rather than being a new game, I felt exhausted , and Primal appears to be a breath of fresh air.

The game is truly gorgeous, and the terrain of Oros is as much teeming with wild and dangerous animals as you'd expect in a Far Cry game, but the spears ,bows and clubs add a new and challenging dimension to the tried and tested FC formula.

At its core, primal is still a Far Cry game with its open world waiting to be explored and the enemy check-posts to be liberated. The enemy this time is the Cannibalistic tribe of Udum who happen to find the Wenja, the tribesmen of our hero Takkar, quite delicious. It is a slow progressing battle in the beginning against the Udum , and as Takkar gradually makes his way into the enemy territory and rescues his Wenja cousins , the Wenja village starts growing. Each saved Wenja, each lit bonfire and each liberated enemy outpost swells the village population and expands the village resources.

There is apparently a LOT to do in this game and I have barely begin to scratch the surface. Still haven't reached the shaman or even learned how to upgrade the cave but I am enjoying every second of this game. Throwin a spear at a running deer and then track it via its blood trail using Hunter Vision is quite reminiscent of Geralt of Rivia's modus operendi and it never gets old.

So Counter Strike: GO is a big game on steam. It is the second most popular game , falling right behind Dota 2. So with the popularity of e-sports in today's society, it's more of a necessity for gamers now to get going in the game to become a pro. Well that requires some tips, and here I have some for you ; Something which made me a pro in it.

1- Skins Don't Matter

It may be tempting to spend money on skins in CS, and why not? all the competitive players have high tier skins. But if you are first jumping into CSGO decide if you like it and want to get into it first, and as you get better reward yourself with skins. Another tip with skins, always buy the skins you want or save up for them, Don't waste your money trying to unbox a knife because you are feeling lucky.

2- Leveling up

So to play competitive in CSGO you must be a private rank 3, which can be achieved by gaining XP through other gamemodes. I recommend' Arms Race', as it gives the most XP and helps you improve your skills with many of the game's weapons.
Plus , Every time you play CS spend at least your first 5 minutes learning a new nade spot, and 10 minutes practicing and warming up your aim. Those two things will make you drastically better over a month or two.

3- Learn From others!

Watch guides and other people playing CS:GO to learn techniques, strategies, and map spots. I personally, when started watching Fanatic matches, learned from what they were doing. As reflected in my play-style, I personally started uploading highlights from my competitive matches, which you can find here and Easily observe some tips https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM3rLIEOn0DN2sn_pzD-1iw

4- Practice

The best way to get better at something is to practice. The pros practice everyday, and if you don't do the practice ,I can 100% guarantee that you will get yourself kicked in the match ! So go out there and if you have slow internet then , play in very hard mode in the offline mode of the game. Otherwise, go online and play with the pros. Indeed you play , You observe and then You learn the way they play...Adopt it and become the beast. :D

For more , have a little look over here :

In addition, if any CS PRO is viewing this, Don't forget to share your tips with everyone in the comments down below coz 'Sharing is caring' and show some humanity bro ! (Sorry feminists)
Hope this proves to be some help for the starters. Stay tuned for more and keep sharing ;) .

BEST OF LUCK Folks ;)

Assassin’s creed is one of the greatest game product of Ubisoft. The first release of the assassin’s creed game play was in 2007. Since then for the past years Ubisoft has been releasing at least one big game in a year.

Ubisoft has released many series of Assassin’s Creed since its first release, Assassins Creed II (2009), Assassins Creed: Brotherhood (2010), Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (2011), Assassin’s Creed III (2012), Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013), Assassins Creed Rogue (2014), Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014) and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (2015).

The Assassin’s creed Syndicate did not perform well in the market as expected by the developer, this was due to the failure of Assassin’s creed Unity. So to cover up for the gap the developing team of the Assassin’s Creed has set their mind to develop the best series.

Following its usual release, we were expecting the new release this year. Which is expected to be one of the best release of Ubisoft.

A person claiming to be one of the Ubisoft developer wrote ;
“There won’t be an AC in 2016. You may screencap this and refer to it when nothing is shown in E3 2016. You’ll have to wait until 2017 for it. The reason: It will be a complete revamp of the series. The game is going for a Witcher feel, with player progression, freeform combat system. Horse is back, and boats too. It’s made by the Black Flag team. You may leave any question you want answered."

The post has created much attentions to many people. But what he said seems to be true.

Sadly,there won’t be a new assassin’s creed this year but instead it has been scheduled to be released in 2017. The reason being to give room for the developing team to renovate the new game.

The new game named Assassin's creed Empire will have the features of the previous games like the sailing of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, freeform combat system and the horse riding. And the player will also be allowed to upgrade their character to get stronger as story progresses.

A year gap will give more room to the developing team to come up with something new that will cheer up the thirsty of game players.But Ubisoft won’t left us with nothing this year, instead they will release the Watch Dogs 2 which is set in San Francisco.

Ubisoft will also release two sidescrollers, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, in January 12 and February 9 respectively.

We hope you found us informative , so Don't forget to support us by sharing us.
