Below the surface, it is not so different from older netbooks in its category, but it has WiMax. ldquo;How fast is it?rdquo; you will ask.

Plustek is showing this $700 Book Reader V100 at CES 2009. It scans books directly into MP3 audio files using optical code recognition (OCR) and a tiny little man with a mellifluous baritone voice trapped inside. Or some kind of text-to-speech program. I'm not sure which.

Given the choice between this and buying something that's available on Audible, I can't imagine this is worth doing if you value your time. You've got to manually scan each page. I'd love to see a re-make that uses some LEGO Mindstorms as a page turner, coupled with a computer, scanner, OCR, and text-to-speech.

Your time in the nuclear wasteland will increase thanks to plans that Bethesda Softworks has to raise the level cap in Fallout 3, its acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing game. Lead producer Jeff Gardiner told Eurogamer in an interview that the company will boost the level cap from 20 to 30 in the upcoming Broken Steel downloadable content pack, which is due out in March.

Broken Steel is the third DLC pack for the game. The first, Operation: Anchorage, is due out this month, and it will let players experience the liberation of Alaska from Chinese forces. The second DLC pack, the Pitt, is due out in February and will let players explore the remains of Pittsburgh. Due to an exclusivity deal, the DLC will only be offered for the Xbox 360 and Windows versions of the game. Operation: Anchorage will cost 800 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

In addition, Broken Steel will also remove the game's ending, meaning that once you finish the storyline you will be able to continue to adventure around the wasteland. Currently, once you finish the game the credits roll and that's it. By removing the ending, Bethesda will let you work your way toward building a level 30 character.

This brand new v1.11 demo showcases both the basic Shock Force game as well as the Marines Module, sold separately from the basic game. The Combat Mission: Shock Force Demo will require approximately 1 Gigabyte of free space on your hard drive in order to install.

DEMO LIMITATIONS:



Includes three scenarios which can be played as either US or Syrian

Includes a fourth scenario, "Demo Training" which was designed to only be played from the US perspective

All multiplayer modes are active (TCP-IP, PBEM, Hotseat)

You can access the full Game Editor, but the save function is disabled.

The original full game manual is included as a pdf file

The demo scenarios are only in English. See Game Language Info below for more details on how to play these battles in other languages.


DEMO SCENARIO INFO:


Demo Training, a small training scenario designed to familiarize new players to Combat Mission before engaging in "real" combat. (Blue play only)

Smashing Steel: A Syrian mechanized force heads south as an American Stryker and tank force heads north. (Battle begins before dawn in the dark, but as time progresses and the sun rises, visibility and lighting will increase)

Going to Town: Stryker infantry mix it up with the Syrian forces as they enter a small town.

USMC Going to Town: Marines combined arms force fights it out with a Syrian force in a small town. The battlefield is the same as the Stryker based Going to Town scenario in order to highlight the differences between the units in each.

Being torn over which character design to pick for the Dark Templar class in the multiplayer portion of StarCraft 2, Blizzard Entertainment is allowing fans to decide. Over the next month, fans can choose between the Lenessa or Zer'atai designs. Blizzard is even allowing fans to choose a third option, which spawns a mixture of both. Official descriptions and pics are posted below:

"The first option represents the Lenassa tribe of dark templar, which made its debut in the original StarCraft. This unit carries a single warp blade, and a cloth shroud covers its face."

"The second option represents the Zer'atai tribe of dark templar, who wield dual scythes and wear an ensemble of heavy armor and the bones of slain zerg."

Now what? It is one among the myriad of daunting questions that the more than 1.3 million Americans who are diagnosed with invasive cancer each year find themselves asking.

There are, however, certain things that all individuals affected by the disease can do to help navigate their way though this life-altering ordeal.

A new patch for GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is out. Patch 1.5.08 improves both the download and retail version of the first-person shooter. Patch notes, taken from the game's official web site, are posted below:

1.5.04 - 1.5.07 saved games will be compatible with patch 1.5.08.

Changes:
- Added the possibility for admins to take screenshots of a player's screen (as an anti-wallhack-cheats measure) by console commands (make_screenshot, screenshot_all).
- Fixed bug with banning the players.
- Fixed bug with saving the rank and money amount of the player upon the round restart (if the player deliberately closed the game process in the task manager, and then reconnected).
- Increased the stability of the network play.
