A l'approche de la coupe du monde, de nombreux éditeurs souhaitent sortir leur jeu mettant à l'honneur le sport le plus populaire au monde : le football. Gameloft, l'éditeur le plus prolifique sur DSiWare n'est pas en reste, et après une édition 2009 de Real Football, l'éditeur récidive avec Real Football 2010.

Mais que vaut cette simulation de football sur notre célèbre console aux 2 écrans ? C'est ce que nous allons voir dans les lignes qui suivent.

Real Football 2010 vous propose donc de participer à de grandes compétitions de football. Pour 800 Nintendo Points, Gameloft semble nous avoir gâté et le jeu semble très complet.

Entrons directement dans le vif du sujet en évoquant les différents modes de jeu. Bien entendu comme dans tout bon jeu de sport que se respecte vous pourrez jouer en multijoueurs en wifi local. Et oui désolé mais pas de mode online pour ce coup ci.

Par contre Gameloft se rattrape pour ce qui est du mode 1 joueur. En effet vous pourrez participer à un match amical ou à un tournoi. Dans ce dernier mode il vous sera proposé de disputer une coupe (coupe internationale, européenne en club, coupe d'Europe avec une équipe nationale, coupe d'Asie, coupe d'Amérique ou d'Afrique), ou à une ligue et ainsi remporter un des plus grands championnat Européen ( Français, Anglais, Allemand, Espagnol et Italien). Vous pouvez même participer à un championnat du monde des clubs. Voilà donc un programme très chargé. Le choix des équipes est tout aussi garni, car si on compte les 5 championnats nationaux composés de 20 clubs ajouté au 60 pays des différents continents, vous n'aurez que l'embarras du choix. Cerise sur le gâteau les noms des joueurs sont respectés. Vous pourrez donc avec bonheur jouer avec Niang, Henry, Ronaldo, Rooney ..etc

Une fois votre mode de jeu et votre équipe choisie, direction le terrain...enfin presque car tout un tas de paramétrages s'offre de nouveau à vous. Tout d'abord la tenue de votre équipe (tenue à domicile ou à l'extérieur), le choix des joueurs en fonction de leur santé du moment, et bien sûr la tactique de jeu. Vous voulez une équipe plus offensive ou défensive, en 4-3-3 en 4-4-2, bref toutes les tactiques sont possibles et vous pourrez en plus choisir l'emplacement exact de chacun des joueurs sur le terrain. L'aspect gestion d'équipe est donc très poussé. Une fois la partie lancé il vous est toujours possible de modifier les aspects tactiques et ce sans arrêter la partie. Tout ceci se gère depuis l'écran tactile. Très facile de repositionner un joueur avec le stylet.

Le gameplay est très riche et relativement agréable. Deux types de contrôle vos sont proposés. Vous pourrez jouer de façon classique en utilisant la croix multidirectionnelle et les boutons ou utiliser l'écran tactile. Le jeu au bouton et à la croix répond bien mais le mal au doigts se fait rapidement sentir. Quand au mode de contrôle via l'écran tactile et au stylet, celui-ci demande un peu de pratique pour le maitriser totalement mais celui-ci a le mérite d'exister.

Visuellement le jeu est assez réussi et il ne faut pas oublier que l'on joue sur une machine relativement faible techniquement et que Real Football 2010 est un titre DSiWare donc de taille plus modeste.

Gameloft signe là avec Real Football 2010 un bon petit jeu de foot très complet, agréable à jouer et très réussi visuellement. Si vous aimez les jeu de foot et que vous ne voulez pas dépenser beaucoup d'argent sur un jeu cartouche, Real Football 2010 devrait vous satisfaire. Les 800 Nintendo Points nécessaire au téléchargement du jeu seront rapidement amortis. Par contre si ce genre de jeu n'est pas votre tasse de thé, le titre de Gameloft n'arrivera probablement pas à vous convaincre à vous mettre au foot.

Suite à une interview à Londres de l’emblématique Shigeru Miyamoto, on apprend que Nintendo à l’intention de débarquer dans les classes avec sa DS ! À l’heure actuelle, la console portable est déjà utilisée comme outil complémentaire dans certains musées, aquariums et galeries au Japon. Dès la rentrée (en avril), la DS va débarquer dans le système éducatif japonais (primaire, collège et lycée) comme support pour le travail scolaire, et non pas pour jouer. Qu’en pensez-vous ?

Découvrez en image et en vidéo le prochain Mirror's Edge sur iPhone. Le jeu promet d'être aussi rapide que sur consoles. Il est prévu pour ce printemps 2010.

Review The PS3 Slim sees Sony hoping to invigorate sales of the Playstation 3 with a lighter and much less expensive model. No doubt the company views this as a chance to redeem the brand before it starts to look like a fat old aunt in the console war. For this redemption to take place we would need to see some serious new features go into the rebirth of this gaming console....

If you don't already have plans to attend PAX East in Boston next weekend, consider a drive to Brookfield, WI instead for the Midwest Gaming Classic, a two-day "all-encompassing electronic gaming trade show" running from March 27-28.

Of course, the event will have hundreds of arcade and pinball machines to play and show off, but it also features lots of other entertaining attractions like the Classic Gaming and Computing Museum with its five display/play rooms devoted to vintage consoles, modern consoles, "underdog" consoles, family games, and versus games.

The show has a number of notable speakers booked to deliver presentations: Robotron and Defender co-creator Eugene Jarvis, High Voltage Software's Keith Hladik, console modder Benjamin Heckendorn (who will be bringing his Bill Paxton Pinball machine), Sword of Fargoal creator Jeff McCord, and many others.

There will be several film screenings (Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball, Pinball Passion, and Pinball 101), tournaments (e.g. Super Mario Wii, Space Invaders), and other events (e.g. The benheck.com Experience) at the Midwest Gaming Classic, too.

You can find more information on the show and ticketing details at the Midwest Gaming Classic's official site.

As a full time systems administrator, I can tell you without equivocation that IT is hard. There are lots of little problems that occur. Operating systems are fragile. Automation is great, but requires constant vigilance. So I approach things like the ClearBOX with much skepticism. An all-in-one IT solution sounds too good to be true, and it very likely is. I’m sure it offers some great features, and in the right environment it can be a good purchase. But there is no holy grail to unified IT services, because every environment is different, and the only constant is change.

The hardware specs on the ClearBOX look adequate enough for most small businesses with simple IT needs:

• System Restore (In Development)
• Bypass 2 LED Indicator
• Bypass 1 LED Indicator
• G2 Bypass Segment 1 with 2 1Gb Ethernet Ports
• G2 Bypass Segment 2 with 2 1Gb Ethernet Ports
• 2 1Gb Ethernet Ports
• Dual USB 2.0 Ports
• RJ45 System Console connector
• Hard Drive Active LED
• Power LED
• Reset Button
• 128×32 Graphic LCD Module
• 4 button LCD Module Control
• 200W Full-range ATX
• On/Off Switch
• Intelligent Cooling System
• VGA Port – Intel 82G41 Chipset
• One PCI-E x8 Expansion Slot Rear

The ClearBOX comes with ClearOS, “a powerful network and server gateway designed for small organizations and distributed environments.” It’s open source, so I’m guessing it’s a Linux distribution of some sort, but it’s not clear to me whether they’ve rolled their own distro from the ground up, or if they’re springboarding off an existing distribution.

The ClearBOX and ClearOS look like a neat offering, but I’ve seen way too many of these all-in-one “IT in a box” systems come and go through the years to have any expectations that this one will last.

Après avoir investi les musées, les aquariums et les galeries d'art, Nintendo s'intéresse désormais aux écoles, collèges et lycées. À l'occasion d'une remise de prix à Londres, Shigeru Miyamoto a déclaré vouloir faire de la Nintendo DS un outil pédagogique utile pour les élèves japonais.

Most parents would cringe at this, but that’s precisely what Nintendo’s general manager, Shigeru Miyamoto, wants to do. What are we talking about? Well, Nintendo is trying to get its Nintendo DS handheld gaming device into junior high schools in Japan. The portable gaming console is already used for guiding tours in museums, galleries and aquariums in Japan, and the company now wants to see it used as an educational aid as well. It’s not entirely clear how the DS might be used to aid education, but with games such as Brain Age, it’s not hard to imagine companies coming up with the right material/games.

As one of ReadWriteWeb's iPhone users, I'm always looking for new applications to try out. Some get downloaded for a day and then deleted right away, others slowly inch their way closer to my homescreen. Even rarer are the ones that become actively used on a regular basis. Occasionally, we like to share our findings regarding our favorite new apps. (See, for example, last month's list here). Although I can't guarantee that all of the ones on the list below will become favorites forever, they piqued my interest enough to get a coveted spot on my iPhone this month. Let us know what you think about their potential for long-lasting success.

I've been playing with Miso off and on for a week or so. Dubbed a "Foursquare-Like App for Homebodies" by yours truly, this app lets you "check-in" to the TV shows and movies you're watching and earn badges. While I like the idea, I've found that the app suffers from the lack of an easy way to find and follow other users. That leaves us TV-watching "stay-at-home" folks feeling a little too isolated when already taking part in a rather non-social, non-interactive activity. However, if the app can improve the ability to find and follow other like-minded entertainment consumers, there's potential for a fun "niche use" type of app here. (Review: Miso: A Foursquare-Like App for Homebodies)

MediaServer seems so promising, but I've had trouble getting all aspects of it to work properly. The app is designed to be an easy way to view your iPhone media on your TV set by way of a Media Center-type hardware device (XMBC, Boxee, etc.) or game console (PS3, XBox 360). And it is easy to use. You install the app, launch it, and boom!, your media console sees your iPhone - no configuration required. As far as viewing user-created videos or photos, the app excels. But streaming music or video? Not so much. Due to varying degrees of DRM applied to the files themselves and codec support on the hardware device, playing media on your TV is harder than it should be. (I tried with the Xbox in my tests.) Whether it's the app that's to blame or the hardware, I can't tell. However, MediaServer did become a great way to do iPhone photo slideshows on the TV and that alone is keeping it on my phone for now. Hopefully the rest will be improved in time.

The RWW bloggers who attended the recent SXSW festival have come back raving about the barcode-scanning Stickybits app (iTunes link). The app, which debuted at the conference, goes hand-in-hand with the online service that lets you either print your own barcodes or buy pre-made stickers which you can then associate with real-world objects. Using the Stickybits iPhone application, anyone encountering these stickers in the wild can scan them to discover whatever data theyv'e been associated with. Will Stickybits actually stick around though? It's too soon to tell, but it sure is fun to play with in the meantime. (Review: Stickbits: Portal to Another Dimension or Graffiti for Nerds?)

Although not brand-new, the Siri app which debuted in February on the iPhone is rapidly becoming one of our all-time favorites and therefore has to make this list again. If you have not installed Siri yet, do so now! Built with artificial intelligence technology, Siri functions as a personal assistant which can provide information on a variety of topics from weather to movie listings to restaurants, events and more. You can either type into the app's search box or speak your query to get started. And the more you use it, the smarter it gets. The voice recognition works well, too, although it never understood "Alice in Wonderland movie" no matter how many times I said it. (Maybe it already knew I wouldn't like that movie?) We'll give it a pass there, though - voice recognition is a tough nut to crack. Still, the intelligence of this app will soon have you relocating the apps it replaces (movie listing apps, restaurant finders, etc.) to back screens of the iPhone. (Review: Siri: Your Personal Assistant for the Mobile Web)

Obsessed with ego-tracking your Twitter stats or tasked with managing a corporate account of some kind? Then Tweeb's new Twitter analytics tracker (iTunes link) is a handy app to have. For $1.99, you get access to real-time, on-demand statistics including tweet counts, follower counts, retweets, mentions and clickthroughs on your tweeted links. You can also use the app to tweet, manage your friends, block or unblock users, view Twitter profiles, view your following lists and manage multiple Twitter accounts. The data is presented in clean, easy-to-read layouts and there is even a history section so you can measure your growing influence over time. Well worth a couple of bucks if you access this data on a regular basis!

The first app to access Google Buzz natively is pretty great, but I'll admit that I'm more likely to switch over to Buzz from Google Reader's mobile website than launch a standalone app. If the iPhone had app multitasking though, that would be a different story. Still, Buzzie has a few standout features - photo-sharing and photo browsing, most notably. It also feels "a lot snappier" than Google Buzz's web app, noted Frederic earlier this month during his demo. (Review: Buzzie: The First Native Mobile App for Google Buzz)

Part of Springpad's service, this Evernote competitor functions as a mobile note-taking and reminder app. Similar to Evernote's offering, you can write a note or snap a photo to remember something (which is then added to your online account), but it also introduces barcode-scanning as another way to "remember" an item. You can use the app to access all your saved data, too - handy for accessing shopping lists, recipes and restaurants you want to try while you're out and about. (Review: Springpad Takes on Evernote with Semantic Technology, Barcode Scanner)

Other apps getting demoed on our iPhones include the following:

• Brizzly for Twitter: Will we leave Tweetie 2 for this new Twitter iPhone app? It could happen!
• Feathers: Want to have a little fun with your tweets? Feathers lets you decorate them with symbols, icons or even post them upside-down.
• Notifio: Just launched, this app tries to bring Android-style notifications to one central place on the iPhone, but it's dependent on others to use its API to do so. If successful, it could be amazing...but that remains to be seen.

Possédant une petite console portable multimédia (une dingoo a320), il m’arrive de regarder quelques vidéos sur son petit écran. Inconvénient , son processeur sature avec des fichiers aux résolutions trop importantes car l’écran fait du 320*240. De plus, le mkv n’est pas supporté ! Il faut donc reconvertir dans un format adapté en taille à cette machine.

Pour ce petit travail , j’utilise winff qui est disponible sur la plupart des disitributions linux mais aussi sous windows.

L’interface est relativement simple. Une fois le programme lancé :

- On clique sur Ajouter et on choisit le fichier a réencoder. (on peut en prendre plusieurs d’un coup)

- Sélectionnez : Convertir en AVI / Préréglage  Xvid full screen.   (cela étire sur tout l’écran, changez l’option si cela déforme trop)

- Cochez “deux passes” et mettez 320 par 240 pour la résolution. On peut essayer de diminuer la qualité du son pour gagner de la place mais ce sera minime.

On clique sur Convertir et c’est parti pour quelques temps de patience. Le travail sera plus ou moins long selon le temps de la vidéo et la puissance de votre cpu.

Et pourquoi ne pas reconvertir un dvd ? Pour garder une copie de son dvd préféré sur son mp4, rien de plus simple ! Ici, c’est ogmrip qu’il faudra lancer. Je ne cois pas que ce logiciel soit dispo sous windows ... par contre les utilisateurs de mandriva ou ubuntu l’installeront sans problème

Pour comme winff, il n’y a rien de bien compliqué. Une fois que l’on a inséré un dvd et cliqué sur “charger” , voici ce qui apparaît :

On a donc le titre du dvd , la piste video ainsi que la piste audio. Généralement, la bonne piste vidéo est sélectionnée mais pas toujours pour la piste audio. Un encodage en langue de molière, c’est tout de même plus sympa.

Ensuite , il faut cliquer sur “Extraire”.

Le sélecteur de profils s’affiche. Dommage que la version sur mandriva ne dispose de cette grande liste de profils... donc sur cette distribution, il faudra se contenter du minimum syndical. La capture provient de la version ubuntu.... Voici la liste des différents appareils portables ou non supportés par ogmrip : Iphone / ipod / Archos 5 / Archos 605 / Blackberry bold 9000 / xbox 360 / Sony ps3 / Sony psp.

Il y a de quoi faire mais il manque ma dingoo. Quelqu’un y a pensé et un profil spécial dingoo existe ici. Le fichier dingoo.txt se trouve tout en bas du billet.

Pour ajouter ce profil, c’est dans le menu Editer / profils / importer.

Une fois le profil choisi , on clique sur extraire et il n’y a plus qu’a patienter! Le résultat se retrouvera dans votre dossier home.

Petit conseil : pour éviter de trop faire travailler le lecteur dvd, je paramètre ogmrip pour qu’il copie le dvd sur disque dur. “Menu Editer / Préférences / Avancées”. Attention a la place demandée, par défaut les fichiers sont copiés dans le dossier /tmp mais si votre partition “racine” est trop petite , il faudra changer l’emplacement.
