Volume is set to be released on 18 August 2015 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita. It's developed by Mike Bithell, who previously developed the award-winning Thomas Was Alone. New Zealanders can get the game in less than three hours, but you may need to wait another ten hours or even one day. If you would like to play Volume as earlier as possible, then change your IP to a New Zealand one.
Volume is a stealth game about being heard and committing crimes. Mike Bithell stops by to give the GameSpot staff a quick look at this unique-stealth, puzzler. Volume 's story is based on a modern take of the Robin Hood legend. Robert Locksley is a petty thief that finds a device called "Volume", which allows the user to simulate heists that is part of a secret military coup attempt. Enter the Volume to halt the corruption of Gisborne Industries and train the masses to rob from the rich in this reimagining of the Robin Hood legend. A hundred challenging and exciting levels lie ahead, but that is only the beginning of the Volume.

Galak-Z: The Dimensional is only a few days away from release as part of Sony's PlayStation 4 summer downloadable game promotion. GALAK-Z is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter.
August is only less than a week away so unsurprisingly, members of the Playstation Plus subscription service are already very excited to find out which free games are in store for them. While there has not been a confirmation from Sony (as new games usually come out in the first week of every month), a lot of speculations regarding the line-up of the free games have already surfaced online. And by the looks of it, subscribers would really get their money's worth in August. According to a forum dedicated to next month's titles predictions, "Galak-Z: The Dimensional" most likely would be included in the offering.
Galak-Z offers the next-generation of shoot-em-up action, combining modern A.I., physics-driven mechanics and open-world expanse with classic 16-bit space shooter blasting. Turns out your ship can turn into a combat mech in Galak-Z. You come equipped with a sword, shield, and the ability to grapple and throw rocks, ships and more. It isn't just a game about flying around space in a ship ... because your ship can also transform into a mech wielding a giant laser sword.
Described by 17-bit Games lead Jake Kazdal as "Far Cry 3 shoved down the throat of R-Type 3," Galak-Z was one of many indie games featured during Sony's E3 2013 press conference. The games has you playing as a ship exploring space, avoiding and engaging in combat, and collecting resources in order to make your ship more powerful through upgrades. The game is randomly generated making each level unique each time you play it.
Players will take control of a variety of a spacecraft inspired by anime of the late 70s and early '80s, piloted by a cast of characters every bit as colorful as the rainbowhued explosions erupting all around them. Newtonian physics take center stage as players experience finelytuned control, blasting enemies, unleashing missile salvos, and tossing enemies into explosive obstacles.
XMPT Games is bringing DiscStorm to Vita, PC, Mac, and Linux this summer with the help of publisher Mastertronic. DiscStorm for PC is scheduled to be launched next month, on August 14.
Fast-paced and furious, DiscStorm is an arena combat game where split-second reactions are essential to dodge flying discs as they ricochet around at breakneck speed. This article will give you a few tips and tricks for the multiplayer combat.
First, the game is set to coming to North America, Australia and Europe the same day. So players who want to play the game earlier than others can use a NewZealand VPN to switch IP address to a New Zealand one, and get the game at NZT, among the earliest to enter into a new day. If you don't have a VPN account, you can resort to a free VPN account. The settings are simple, a free VPN is enough to download the game with a New Zealand server.
It's a generic 'first to ten' match that most players familiar with the genre will recognize. That's you get a point every time you hit another player and the first player to score 10 points wins the match. This game mode can be played either with or without power-ups. Using the power-up chest as a trap is a worthwhile strategy in nearly every case. You can also catch your opponents off guard by throwing all of your discs out at the very start of the match.
In certain levels, you can take advantage of unusual banked shots to fire around corners, or in the case of the space level, you can even wrap the disc around the arena to hit someone from behind.
The next mode is called 'Survival': each player gets three lives and once they're gone, you're out of the match. Much like First To Ten, you can play with or without power-ups. Use the power-up chest as bait to land hits on unsuspecting players. Either hide behind them and through through or keep your distance and wait for someone to try to take the chest.
Let your opponents kill one another off without doing any of the killing blows yourself. This is a strategy that can backfire when they realize you aren't losing any lives and then gang up on you to even things out…Deflecting is incredibly useful in this mode as you don't care who you hit, as long as you do hit them!
Another of the modes is called 'Death Disc' – a mode that has caused some of the most frantic matches we've ever had. A single disc spawns somewhere in the arena. It will be somewhere that we've determined to be a fair location regardless of how many players you have in the match. If any player is hit with the disc, including the player who threw it, that player is out of the match. If you find yourself in a Death Disc battle, try these strategies if you want to get an edge on your opponents:
Remember that you can pick up discs whilst dashing, it's a great way to get to the disc as quickly as possible at the start of the round.
If you get the disc first, the best way to secure a hit is to get as close to someone as possible. Use the deflect move to stun them and immediately throw the disc at them.
Picking up the disc after it's been thrown is tricky. A good strategy for this is to dash over to the spot where you think it will land just before it hits the ground. This should mitigate the danger of getting hit by your own disc, if you do it right…
Some of you may not familiar with VPN or don't know how to setup a VPN, just refer to the VPN tutorials.
It's more and more popular to surf the Internet on smart phones. To protect our privacy, we have to know about how to setup VPN on android. You could also use the VPN to access Netflix or Hulu when you are outside of America for example.
VPNs are not all created equally, there are so many VPN providers that it's difficult to choose a really good one. First we have to make sure the VPN we choose can be applied to Android since there are some VPNs don't compatible with Android system. Then we need to ensure the VPN is fast and stable. No one would like to disconnected and setup again and again or have high ping. The best VPNs offer a solid balance of features, server location, connectivity protocols, and price.
When you connect to a VPN, you usually launch a VPN client on your computer. But for most VPN, there is no app for Android system. Now let's guide how to setup a VPN on your Android phone.
Step 1: Open on your phone accordingly: Settings - Wireless & network - more settings - VPN - Add VPN.

Due to private copying and copyright laws, lots of music streaming are not allowed to free download songs. Today, I would like to recommend several Chinese free music app for iOS. If you don't have a Chinese IP, refer to VPN service.
Earlier this month several music industry organizations in the UK won a judicial review which renders the Government's decision to allow copying for personal use unlawful. Following this unexpected decision are UK citizens now breaking the law if they copy their own CDs? How will the fate of the legislation be determined?
Ripping a music file from a CD to .MP3 format for playing on a smartphone or tablet being one typical example. This exception does not allow copying of copyright protected material for family and friends, neither does it legitimize downloading files from the Internet, as in most cases the downloader will not already own a legitimate licensed copy.
Thankfully, there are still a host of excellent websites that allow you to legally download and locally store your music free of charge. The most used Chinese music apps, Baidu Music, Xiami Music, QQ Music, and Kugou Music are free. You can listen to artists and albums, hot and latest songs, download them totally free. If you don't have a Chinese IP, just refer to FlyVPN. They provide a free VPN account, containing several Chinese servers. There is no time limit for this account. What's more, it's totally free. It's easy to setup this VPN, refer to their tutorial: http://www.flyvpn.com/tutorial. After setup the VPN, just login with their free account to change the IP.
