Here's a short review of the game:-

Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction®: Guerrilla™ allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.

Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.

Some screenshots of the game:-





Strategic Destruction – Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.

Evolving & Emergent Gameplay – Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics – mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.

Epic Sci-Fi Setting – Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.

Multiplayer Combat – There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.




Today's trick allows you to use popular anonymity network TOR providing you an IP address from country of your choice, we will be configuring TOR to have an exit node of our choice so that we can control our IP's country as required.

Configuring TOR to use an IP of choice :

  1. Download TOR + Vidalia bundle from here, I prefer the all in one portable version which comes with Firefox.
  2. Launch Vidalia control panel and click View the network button.
3. Now navigate to node having country you want to have IP for, right click it and copy the Fingerprint as shown below, you must copy and save fingerprints of three nodeshaving good bandwidth for best results.

4. Close Tor Network Map window and click Settings button from Vidalia Control Panel.

5. Now use the TOR configuration file-path value shown to open TOR config file in notepad.
6. Now we need to paste the node fingerprint code copied in Step 3 above as shown below :


ExitNodes fingerprint-code-1, fingerprint-code-2, fingerprint-code-3
StrictExitNodes 1

substitute fingerprint-code-1, fingerprint-code-2, fingerprint-code-3 with codes of your choice.

  1. Restart TOR and you will have an IP from one of the three nodes selected.

Using this trick you are now able to have an IP from country of your choice and no-more need to go hunting for country specific proxies when needed.

HERE'S A SHORT REVIEW OF THE GAMED:-

In Darkest of Days, the action begins with the player being ripped from his period in time by a mysterious organization moments before his grisly death. In order to ensure the future of mankind, he is then tasked with the mission to travel back and forth through time – to famous, turning-point battle campaigns in world history – acting as the organization’s agent in a larger, seemingly otherworldly, battle between good and evil.

Here are some screenshots of the game:-





Using a combination of both futuristic and historical weapons, players will be immersed in a world where in one instant they will be fighting against the Huns in World War I and the next find themselves battling at Antietam in the U.S. Civil War.Fighting on one side of the action, then sometimes coming back to fix mistakes on the opposing side gives the player a chance to experience conflicts from both sides.

In this game you will be able to use futuristic weapons like fully automatic assault rifle against the knights,etc..............................................

To get the Vista style taskbar back Right-click an open area on the Taskbar and select Properties.



The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties windows opens up where you will want to click the box next to “Use small icons” and select “Combine when taskbar is full” from the drop down next to Taskbar buttons.

Now the Taskbar look similar to how it did in Vista. It doesn’t look exactly the same but has similar functionality.

Another tweak is to unpin all programs from the Windows 7 Taskbar.


Then follow The Geek’s tutorial on adding quick launch bar in windows 7 to get a look and feel that is exactly like Vista with the Quick Launch Bar enabled.


This should help you out when you are too busy to sit and learn the new Windows 7 Taskbar or simply are not a fan of it.
