HTC TyTN

This is my new phone. Is been on the market for quite some time, but because there was an accident with my previous phone, I had it replaced by this one.

It was updated to a custom Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom, and is factory unlocked, so it works fine with Three at UK.

Is fast and reliable so far, although I usually have to reset it twice a day at least.

In a few days I’ll try to make a review about this phone.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

I have been playing this game for the last few days, and is really great. This is the PSP version, and it has been a while since a game has made me use so much my PSP.

I started playing on Story mode, where we follow the path of Darth Vader’s apprentice. The story mode took me around 16 hours to finish. It is very interesting on the sense that thought the history we see this dark apprendice fight and put into doubt everything he believes.

After we finish the story mode, we also have the unleashed mode. On this mode, we can have a type of Mortal Combat style: fight several opponents one at a time to climb the ladder and be the best Jedi out there.

Then we have the famous scene mode, where we can re-live famous scenes from the movies. Unfortunately, there are not so many scenes, only five, which is a shame. I would love to see some more fights, like the one between Master Yoda and Count Doku, or against the Emperor. However, is still very good to see Anakin turn into the dark side, or to relieve the fight between Anakin and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Probably the Wii or PS3 versions are better, however, to play on the train on the way to work, this little game is really a great option out there. Definitely recommended.

This is a small post to inform of a friend’s website.

For the moment he has the very interesting particle simulator written in Java. Is worth to take a look at it.

Today I stumble upon this website.

Is a really nice one, where you have a lot of free music available to download.

Basically if you are an artist you can upload your music and hope people will like it.

As a listener, you can rate and review the albums, download them or just listen to them online.

If you really enjoy the artist, you can also give donations to them.

There are some great musics there, so when you have the time go check it out. Is worth the time spent.
