Unlike a computer wallpaper, customized posters can be hang on your room, living room or in any available wall space in the house. CustomWallScrolls is an online store that offers custom wall poster services. All you have to do is send them the picture you want to be printed on the wall scroll and then they will review the file you sent them to determine if the quality is good enough to be printed as a wall scroll poster.

Shipping and handling is not yet included so it would be better if you inquire to them directly to know how much it would cost to order a custom scroll poster.

Just like when searching for free wallpapers, I highly suggest that you take as much time as needed in buying wall scrolls to ensure that you will be getting value for your money. Wall scrolls featuring anime characters now abound in the internet so finding the favorite anime of your kids won’t be that difficult. Choose from Naruto, Soul Eater, Astroboy, Athena wall scrolls, and more.

Are you familiar with StarCraft? If not, here is a short overview. StarCraft (SC) is a computer game which uses real-time strategy. It was introduced in 1998 by Blizzard Entertainment and has similarities to Warcraft II, but SC has a space opera setting while Warcraft is set on a high fantasy background. This was considered as the best-selling computer and video game of 1998. StarCraft’s original plot revolves around the zerg’s arrival in the Koplrulu Sector. The zergs will later on invade the protoss home named Aiur.

Another RTS space game is the Gemini Wars from the independent publisher Camel 101. This game features a campaign controlling fleets of ships in a number of battles. Gemini Wars allows you to become a “fleet commander” by starting with a group of frigates. You need to climb up to control battleships and engage in enormous battles. The game features three unique factions which possess different strategies and units, capacity to control fleets of starships, planets and space stations, cinematic battle camera, multiplayer action and many more.

The Imperium Galactica is another RTS game that is characterized by graphics which can be considered sometimes as “excessive” with the numerous special effects made to the delight of video gamers. Players have described Imperium Galactica as a game which has been able to create mind-boggling images, graphic clarity and sense of scale. This has been able to produce three versions: the Imperium Galactica I, IG II and the IG III. Imperium Galactica promises to give gamers the chance to colonize systems, manage their colonies and customize their warships with a wide selection of cool gadgets and powerful weapons.

With all these great real-time strategy space games, it is expected that you will try many if not all. The key to success in these kinds of games is focusing on the battle and fighting it all out until the very end.

Of the myriad of features and applications, aside from the obvious improvement on the camera, it all boils down to only 3 noteworthy new features. If you would like to consider its looks, there are very few improvements. The iPhone 4s looks pretty much like its older brother, including the screen size, materials, and placement of the buttons. The only new additions are the glass panels in both the front and back of the phone to make it look classier. Both Glass panels have oleo phobic coatings, though, so they are not very attractive to fingerprints and facial grease.

Another improvement from the newer version is the addition of two built-in antennas, which solves the network issues of the previous model. The previous iphone received bad reps regarding dropped calls and reception issues. This time, Apple solved these problems by adding another antenna where network reception and calls can be handled better, with the hopes that people will not be compelled to learn how to unlock iPhone 4s just for that issue.

Finally, the most noteworthy change in the iPhone 4s is Siri, which is part of the built-in iOS 5. Voice recognition technology is highly improved on the phone and Siri is considered as a smarter voice recognition software than those featured by other smartphones. It is not yet clear though if Siri will still work on iPhone 4s unlocked units.

Let me tell you my top 5 scary space games and the reason why they often scare the hell out of me.

#1 – Dead Space

Among the horror space games that I’ve played, Dead Space is definitely the scariest. If you haven’t played this game yet, which is impossible if you are an avid horror gamer, then you better try it out and know firsthand how downright scary it is. Dead Space can scare the living days lights out of you, and I’m not exaggerating because I’ve already played it a lot of times but still get a good scare every time. It is basically a third person shooter horror space-based game that was developed by EA Redwood Shores, also known as Visceral Games. The game centers on Isaac Clarke, the role that players take when they play the game, who is an engineer that need to fight his way out a mining starship that has been infested by grotesque and hostile monsters, referred as ‘Necromorphs’. Many gamers dubbed Dead Space as the scariest game ever. This is mainly because of its high fear value which is accentuated by the game’s deferred lighting and real-time user interface. The second sequel of the game, Dead Space 2, was released on the 25th of January of this year.

#2 – Doom Series

If there is any horror space survival game that can go head to head with Dead Space, it will definitely be the Doom Series. This first-person shooter game is the brainchild of ID software, which focuses on the exploits of an unnamed UAC (Union Aerospace Corp) space marine who have to fight hordes of demons and the undead to ensure his survival. Released somewhere in 1993, this game classic has won the hearts of many horror space game fanatics. If you like to enjoy better graphics and a more realistic game platform, then you need to check out Doom 3. Pump up those speakers, turn off the lights and start playing the game. If you don’t get a good scare while playing this game, then maybe you are not from this planet. I almost get a heart attack when I played the game or maybe I am really just a scaredy cat. Doom 3’s excellent graphics help a lot to set up the spooky ambiance.

#3 – System Shock 2

This is a first-person RPG space game that was released in 1999. System Shock 2 is the sequel of System Shock, a 1994 PC game that was developed by Looking Glass Studios and Irrational Games. Set on 2114 on board a starship, players of System Shock 2 assumes the role of a soldier who tries to contain the outbreak of an unknown genetic infection that has desolated the starship. This game may not be as scary as Dead Space or Doom 3 but it sure provides a very intense playing platform. It also offers excellent visuals and superb game effects.

#4 – Unreal 2: The Awakening

For Unreal 2, players take on the role of Marine John Dalton who is a Terran Colonial Authority Marshall tasked to patrol remote space areas. Dalton was called back to retrieve pieces of an ancient artifact that is believed to be a powerful weapon once assembled. This game certainly has some scary moments that can terrorize players, particularly the younger ones. I, on the other hand, do not find Unreal that frightening but I admit it did give me a few good shocks while playing the game.

#5 – Martian Gothic: Unification

This horror space game successfully welded a classic-adventure style puzzle gameplay into a real, action-based interface. Martian Gothic: Unification offers excellently rendered graphics and decent sound effects thus giving players a great space gaming experience. The horror adventure presented by the game is also very gruelling and it is very much capable of providing a great scare in more ways than one.

Today, playing car games does not require one to download the whole game to their computers.

Another great thing about playing online car-based games is the fact that you can compete with players living across the globe. Of course, this will depend on the type of game you are playing, but there are some that support a multi-player gaming platform.

Over the coming years, newer, more amusing and arousing games will be introduced online. But one thing is for sure, car-based games are here to stay since they already have established a solid and loyal following.

So, here is the rundown of some the greatest space games of all times, at least according to my opinion. Please note that the space games below are listed in no particular order.

Super Mario Galaxy

There has been much debate if I should include Mario’s space trip adventure in the list. It may not be designed purely to be an RTS space game but since Mario is out for a galaxy adventure I’d say it should definitely made the cut. The Super Mario franchise has always been a success and Nintendo absolutely take any Super Mario project seriously. If there is one thing I have proven in the many years I have been playing all kinds of Super Mario games is that all of them are simply amazing and undoubtedly entertaining. This is exactly what Super Mario Galaxy offered gamers, like me. Graphics were fantastic as ever and the game oozes a lot of creativity thus making it all the more engaging to play. With Super Mario Galaxy’s impressive visuals coupled with challenging game levels and a streamlined pick-up-and-play approach, this game is indeed one of the best space games I have ever played.

Mass Effect 2

Any avid RPG space gamer would agree that Mass Effect 2 should be included in this list. This rich, action-packed and very challenging space adventure provided gamers a very entertaining gaming platform. It is the sequel of the also successful ‘Mass Effect’, the very first installment of the game. The game efficiently combined RPG with adrenalin-pumping shooting actions. While some call it RPG with strong emphasis to shooting, others branded it as a third-person shooter with some RPG element on it. But no matter, how they see this fantastic space game, it is undeniable that Mass Effect 2 was one of the best and finest RPG space games of 2010. But if you ask me I consider it best space game of all time.

Shadow Complex

This award-winning space game definitely deserves a spot here. Shadow Complex gives gamers a lot of great playing options, such as challenge rooms where they can test their gaming skills, a number of power-up opportunities, and in-game notifications allowing them to keep a competitive game with friends.

Other great space games that have surely earned the merit to be included in the list include Star Wars: X Wing, Elite, Project Space Station, Dune 2 and Outcast.
