Art Academy: Learn Painting and Drawing Techniques on DS

Art Academy: Learn Painting and Drawing Techniques

If you dream of becoming the latest Picasso or fancy brushing up on your artistic skills, now’s your chance as the Nintendo DS Touch Screen transforms into your very own canvas. Art Academy: Learn painting and drawing techniques with step-by-step training gives both budding and experienced artists simple and creative tips and tricks to improve, enhance and even learn how to draw and paint.

Whatever your ability, you’ll find the step-by-step approach to lessons easy to follow. Art Academy offers lessons and art materials to get you started on your initial artistic journey, as well as more advanced art courses for those more adventurous artists wanting to take their art to the next level.

The helpful tutor, Vince, is on hand to show you how to use the art materials and what to draw, as well as teaching you art theory and techniques to explore independently. Some lessons are inspired by work from famous artists such as Albrecht Dürer (German), Paul Cézanne (French), Leonardo da Vinci (Italian), Jan van Huysum (Dutch), John Constable (English) and many more to get your creative juices flowing.

The Touch Screen on the Nintendo DS console enables you to effortlessly paint or draw with realistically-behaving paints and pencils. The pencils come in three different grades of lead: 2B, HB, 2H and also enable you to draw in soft or hard lines to blend and layer your pencil mark. Learn to use the eraser function to create interesting effects and, of course, unlike with a real life painting, should you make any mistakes, these can easily be erased without wasting any paper. The paint function behaves similarly to acrylic paint. The paintbrush set comes in three round or flat brushes allowing you to paint in thick or thin lines simply using your Nintendo DS stylus.

Ten paint tubes make up the game’s basic paint palette and there are 20 empty spaces for you to mix your own original colours. You can also control the amount of paint on your brush to give different effects such as dry brushing, and the level of brush wetness which will affect the transparency of paint to allow for a variety of painting effects in your artwork. Zoom in to your masterpieces to perfect the finer details close up and why not take advantage of the grid function, to help you achieve the right scale and proportions?

Use the Free Paint mode to allow you to freestyle your artwork, letting your imagination run wild and check out the material library for a wide range of stock images to get you inspired. If you are a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL owner, why not also use your built-in camera to capture images and redraw them at leisure. With such realistic artist training, you can use your Nintendo DSi & Nintendo DSi XL to help improve painting and drawing skills in real life!

Toy Story 3: The Video Game on PS3, Wii, DS, PSP & Xbox 360

The toys are back in town and at last they’ve got a video game to equal the brilliance of the movies. You can relieve the story from the new film if you want, but there’s much more to this game than the usual film tie-in.

The best bit of this game is the exclusive Toy Box mode, where you can play as Woody, Buzz or Jessie in the role of Sheriff in a toyland town. This mode uses all the same characters from the films but gives you complete freedom to play with all of them however you want – from exciting car (or horse and dragon) races to catching ghosts.

One special element of the Toy Box is magic goo that can change the size of any of the characters, which together with all the other collectable objects lets you completely customise the town, and the world of Toy Story, however you want.

Key Features

* Infinity and Beyond: More than just a film tie-in, explore the entire universe of Toy Story with all the familiar characters, locations and freeform sandbox style exploration.
* Game of the Film: Recreate the events of Toy Story 3 in story mode, complete with all the new characters and adventures.

Crackdown 2 on Xbox 360

Crackdown 2

The sequel to the award-winning vertical-world adventure, Crackdown 2 is the ultimate open-ended world action experience, only available on Xbox 360. The game lets you be judge, jury, and executioner for a huge, fully explorable city. Crackdown 2 takes multiplayer gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate co-op and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy, and play your way as you restore justice and peace to Pacific City – by any means necessary.

The surprise hit of 2007 returns and this time you aren’t just battling criminals but mutant creatures that have already overrun the city at night. Law and order has completely broken down and normal citizens have rebelled against the Agency to form their own group of fighters.

Despite the increased dangers your mission remains the same: to make Pacific City a safe place to live again. As a super human “Agent” that means you’re going to have to power up even more with all-new superpowers, more explosive weaponry and a whole range of new vehicles.

Even then the odds only start to come in your favour if you team up with friends in the new four-player co-operative mode, as you take on the whole of the story campaign together. Mixing classic shoot ‘em-up gameplay with platform jumping and open world adventure Crackdown 2 has everything except a quiet moment.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on PSP

Japan’s most successful PSP title, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G has finally made its way to the west. Renamed Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, this latest installment in the epic Monster Hunter series delivers over 500 hours of gameplay, spanning some 400 missions. In addition, using the Ad-Hoc connection players can adventure with up to three friends for a savaging multiplayer hunting party.

Social Play
One of the most important features contributing to the Monster Hunter series’ rampant popularity in Japan is the social aspect of the games. This feature continues via the PSP’s Ad-Hoc connection in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. From devising strategies to executing attacks, players will need to work together in order to hunt down the ferocious beasts and progress through the wide range of quests on offer. And this effort and cooperation is never in vain. Succeed in this and players will be rewarded for their use of the deep fighting combat systems, encouraging them to seek out even more experienced hunters and team up in order to learn from their experience.

New Game Features
New to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the fully customizable AI “felyne” companion who accompanies players on quests and gathers extra resources. He can even can be shared and traded with other players. Also new to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the improved “Media Install Option.” This new way to play gives players the ability to save portions of the game from UMD to Memory Sticks. This results in much faster load times, as well as improved PSP system battery life since your UMD will not have to be engaged every time your game requires a new file. Finally, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite features a certain level of compatibility with the rest of the Monster Hunter franchise. Fans of the series will be pleased to hear that they can transfer their character and data from Monster Hunter Freedom 2 over to the new game.

Crusader Kings Complete Pack

The game itself is a bit dated now, but still worth a look if you like this type of genre and particularly if you like anything from Paradox. Large map and choice of lordships/lands to start with.
