They have taken out a blacklist which shows a record of attacks they will carry out on the US assets, unless all the soldiers deployed on foreign shores are called back. Like all Splinter Cell versions, Sam has been called to take down the threat and bring the enemy to justice. <keyword id="130164" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="The-Game">The game</keyword> is an eye candy which gels well with the sound. You get numerous weapons, which one can be upgraded through the money earned after completion of each stage. 
 
Most starting levels are a bit slow and require you to take to the dark spots or covers to weaken and kill the enemy. This might be slow or putting off at times. We would suggest you to take a breather and come back to the game as it picks up rapidly after the initial levels. As your weapon arsenal increases, so does the fun. There are numerous missions in the campaign mode to keep you occupied for long. Along with the co-op mode, the Merc vs Spy mode comes back to the game and is an excellent multi-player mode for non-stop enjoyment after you complete the single player mode.

2) Rayman: Legends (Xbox 360) - To tell you the truth we have not been a big fan of the Rayman series. However our perception of the game has changed ever since we played Rayman: Legends. We won’t be wrong if we call it the Super Mario of current times. Legends takes 2D platform based action game to a never seen before point. This is a game worth playing and here is why. You play a duck called Rayman who with his friends has been sleeping for almost a century. While they were sleeping the dark forces of the dreamer grew in number and took over the lands with its princesses. 
 
Murfy (Raymans friend) wakes Rayman up to tell him about the ordeal and he with his friends sets out on a quest to get them back and bring order to the lands. The 2D platform in this game is very mature. The level of world and character detail is breath taking, so much as one wants to wait for a while to take a look at the beautiful landscapes and game designs. However, you do not have much time to do so as there are foes to be fought. Rayman can climb the greatest walls, fight the mightiest rivals and quickly move the next. There is plenty of action in the game and one does not get the ‘been there, done that’ feeling from any level. Each stage of the game brings something new to the table. The boss fights are great and you might want to take cover at times otherwise you might end up playing the level from the last check point.

3) <keyword id="1544626" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="GTA-V">GTA V</keyword> (Xbox 360): the game has already sold 2.5 million copies in week’s time. <keyword id="293685" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="Grand-Theft-Auto">Grand Theft Auto</keyword> is by far the most anticipated game of 2013. This is a game that has splendid graphics, great sound and a triple threat team consisting of Trevor, Michael and Franklin. Trevor and Micheal are ex-partners in crime who have reunited after 9 years. Micheal recruits Franklin into the nexus and is one of the main characters you would play in this edition of the game. 
 
The best feature about the game is its vast open world. Like previous GTA games, you get to ride lot of cars, bikes and trucks. There are plenty of vehicles to go through in this edition of the game and our tip is to keep the best ones in the garage, because you never know when you would be required to go on a high speed chase. Unlike any other action game you can change between characters in GTA V on the fly, this makes the game more interesting and engages you further. Most cut scenes and character morals in the game are incredibly interesting. While Micheal and Franklin are slightly conservative (yet lethal), Trevor is outright mad and the deadliest of the three. GTA V is a fabulous game that will give you hours and hours of brutal action. Children under 16, stay away.

This Week's Must Play Games

She was one of Ray Dalio's favorites. And now she had collapsed into tears — not with ordinary crying but in a full-on meltdown, complete with chest heaving, gasping for breath, and animalistic sobbing.Katina Stefanova, until that day, was known as the Ice Queen at Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Thirty-something, with shoulder-length blonde hair, she wasn't afraid of conflict, particularly if it came with a fat check. She was Dalio's mentee and friend, and as she rose through the ranks in the firm, he took to telling others, "Katina is one of my people," which nearly made her blush with happiness. Some at Bridgewater even began to whisper that she could someday be a candidate to succeed Dalio.It was the cusp of early fall 2009, on one of the days when the weather couldn't quite decide if summer was over yet, the Bridgewater founder Dalio's mood, too, waxed and waned. At 60 years old, the billionaire was beginning to say he might need to hand off some of his operational responsibilities in areas like recruiting to underlings such as Stefanova. But she couldn't keep up the pace at bringing in new staff. Dalio told Stefanova he wanted to get to the bottom of the problem — and he wanted to do it in front of a crowd.Stefanova entered a conference room at Bridgewater's Westport, Conn., headquarters, and watched as the seats around her filled with Bridgewater's top brass. Dalio sat across from her and began ranting, as by now she knew he was wont to do.Dalio announced to the room that he would first "probe" and then deliver what he called a "diagnosis." In the probe he asked her to confirm that she had fallen short in his assignment. The diagnosis was that she was an idiot, a point he made over and over."You're a dumb shit!" Dalio spat. "You don't even know what you don't know."No one else made a peep."I was working really hard," Stefanova eked out. "I was doing my best. What would you have done?"If he had approved the pace of the hiring, he responded, then it was her fault for not telling him he was wrong. He repeated his diagnosis, calling her dumb, grabbing the table for emphasis. People in the room remember him screaming, waiting for her lip to quiver, then screaming at her again for failing to control her emotions while he screamed at her.</blockquote>Mascara, mixed with hot tears, streamed down her face. Several others in the room forced themselves to look away, fearful that they, too, would crack.Stefanova pushed her chair back from the table and, still crying, ran from the room. Dalio, who would later proclaim himself an expert on human behavior, was apparently unmoved by extenuating circumstances surrounding Stefanova's meltdown. She herself had told him about it before that awful day. She wasn't only losing her composure because her billionaire boss was inches from her face. She wasn't just fearful for her job. She was pregnant.Dalio must have known he'd crushed one of the firm's alpha dogs, one he'd helped build up. Now, he would make sure no one could forget it.This was easier than it might have seemed. In the center of the table that day sat a chunky black box, roughly the size of a VCR. A recording device, it captured every groan, grunt, and whimper as Dalio roared, and Stefanova crumbled. A handful of Dalio's lackeys would later listen to it over and over, marking up their favorite parts.Dalio made clear that he wanted all to hear it. The tape was loaded into one of his most prized creations, Bridgewater's Transparency Library, an electronic repository of tens of thousands of hours of internal meetings, eventually encompassing both audio and video, ranging from raging debates among the management committee to dull economic chats between junior wonks.There were so many tapes that some were never replayed, but Dalio made playing this one a requirement. He ordered his team of editors to create a short version of the episode. In it he was cast as the hero. In his version of events, which focused largely on Stefanova's howling distress, Dalio was portrayed as a kind but firm questioner. The probe was cut down to just a few minutes, making Stefanova's reaction seem extreme and inappropriate.</blockquote>Never one for subtlety, Dalio also wrote the title, "Pain + Reflection = Progress." After having it sent out to all thousand or so Bridgewater employees, he ordered that a version of the tape be played for job candidates, making it one of their first impressions of the firm.Stefanova's interrogation reflected an increasing pattern of Dalio's. He was seemingly constantly agitated, and perhaps most unforgiving about the lowest-level tasks of the firm. He exhibited a short fuse when he became aware of what seemed like rudimentary problems that could easily be fixed through the careful application of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bridgewaters-ray-dalio-explains-his-guiding-principle-2017-4">The Principles</a>.Thus the blue-collar men and women in charge of custodial, secretarial, and other such tasks at the hedge fund were in a danger zone. They had inarguably the most limited prospects for a lucrative future outside of the hedge fund; their day-to-day responsibilities were not obviously different from those at any other business, there being only so many ways to stack paper next to the printers, or to patrol a parking lot. But Bridgewater paid lavishly — more than $200,000 a year for secretaries, one recalled. In exchange, they were expected to hew to — and be graded under — The Principles like everyone else.Their professional lives were consumed with tumult. The bus drivers were often under investigation for keeping their vehicles too hot or too cold (sometimes both at the same time, per competing complaints). Then there was what became known as the whiteboard case. During a meeting, Dalio rose from his seat and picked up a dry-erase marker to draw on the room's whiteboard. Midway through sketching a flow chart, he went to write over some of the work, grabbing an eraser attached to the board. For a few seconds he rubbed the eraser on the board, then froze. He turned to the group, gesturing behind him.The eraser hadn't fully eliminated the marking; instead it had smeared, almost imperceptibly; light ink remnants across the board.This is badness, Dalio announced. Who was responsible? Whoever it was, wasn't in the room. One of Dalio's leveragers rushed out to find the responsible party, but there was no record of who had chosen the whiteboards.No responsible party meant the whole facilities department was responsible. For roughly the next six weeks, Dalio devoted himself with fervor to a drill down of the team. With cameras rolling, he called them in for a demonstration at the whiteboard. He kept drawing on the board and erasing it, over and over. How could he have been the first to notice?<div type="image" title="The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend by Rob Copeland" height="3800" width="2504" msid="105021231" hostid="261"></div>The facilities staff reacted as if their jobs were at risk, which was true. First they brought in giant pieces of cardboard as mock-ups and asked Dalio to show them exactly how and where he planned to use the equipment. Then, said one person involved, "We ordered every single whiteboard on the market." As each board came in, the staff paraded it past Dalio and took notes on his requests. They even tried electronic whiteboards, which didn't have to be manually erased. Those were quickly thrown out because, according to a little-known state disability rule, such boards had to be set relatively low to the ground for wheelchair access and Dalio didn't like the height. And he didn't like that the problem was taking so many man-hours to be solved."You're all bumping into one another!" he said.The whiteboard case created two lasting legacies (three, if one counts that the whiteboards were eventually replaced). The videos of the investigation were edited together under a particularly memorable title: "How many facilities people does it take to put up a whiteboard?" This offended many members of the department, who felt that they were being mocked for following the boss's orders.The second effect was that a new phrase entered Bridgewater's vocabulary. For years to come, whenever Bridgewater's professional staff were frustrated with the services of the firm's facilities staff, someone could be counted on to jump in with the quick diagnosis: You're all bumping into one another.The intense focus with which Dalio attacked even the most mundane problems earned him a nickname among some of the rank and file. He was Ray-man, after Dustin Hoffman's Oscar-winning portrayal of an autistic man.Excerpted from <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-64300-20&amp;h=4c12bffc02008c7af13c00fc3a1b6de7a3a1c9cbf9d964e74d061d9aa5f97bb0&amp;postID=6544fa582ef354b8a30f4bf4&amp;postSlug=ray-dalio-screamed-the-fund-book-excerpt-2023-11&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FFund-Bridgewater-Associates-Unraveling-Street%2Fdp%2F1250276934" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THE FUND: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend</a> by Rob Copeland. Copyright © 2023 by the author and reprinted by permission of St. Martin's Publishing Group.A spokesperson for Ray Dalio told Insider, "This book is just another one of those classic tabloid books, authored by someone who applied for a job at Bridgewater and was rejected more than a decade ago. He then became an investigative reporter at a prominent newspaper and made a career of writing distorted stories about Bridgewater and Ray Dalio, at first in articles and now in this book. He did this by speaking with former employees who had been dismissed, seeking out negative rumors, and making up the stories he wanted to fit his narrative because he wasn't there for the events he describes. In fact, the author states in the preface that the book is filled with made-up dialogue and the book's footnotes are full of statements from people directly contradicting what is written about them. The picture the book paints is obviously implausible given Bridgewater's long track record of investment performance and its high percentage of long-tenured employees. Mr. Dalio doesn't want to divert his attention from more important things to discuss this trivial gossipy book."Rob Copeland is a finance reporter for the New York Times. He was previously the longtime hedge-fund beat reporter at the Wall Street Journal, and has also covered Silicon Valley and the hidden worlds of the wealthy and powerful.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>On a lark, I picked up a copy of 2013's Rayman Legends for my Sony PlayStation 4, looking for a fun cooperative game to play with my girlfriend.&#xa0;On that front, I hit the jackpot: Rayman Legends is a real diamond in the rough&#xa0;- it looks like a playable cartoon, and plays like a dream.If you've ever played a Mario game, you know what to expect. Run from left to right, collecting fairy-like Lums while evading deathtraps. Like the recent Mario games, too, you can play with up to three other people, which makes it a great couch game even for the inexperienced (or younger) player.But&#xa0;the best part of Rayman Legends are its musical levels, where every jump, run, and slide is timed to to the snares, guitar, and vocals of world-famous rock songs. It's an insane idea that works incredibly well in practice.Here, check out "Mariachi Madness," a level where you have to dodge trumpet-wielding skeletons and spiny worms while rocking out to "Eye of the Tiger:"&#xa0;<div></div>&#xa0;Or "Gloo Gloo," an underwater chase set to the 5 6 7 8's "Woo Hoo:"&#xa0;<div></div>There are a dozen of these levels in the game, most of which I haven't even discovered yet. You get the chance to play one of these musical levels after beating each episode's boss, making it a really fun reward for making progress in the game.&#xa0;Apparently, Rayman Legends <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-16-ubisoft-splinter-cell-rayman-legends-missed-sales-targets">was a sales disappointment for publisher Ubisoft</a>, which is a shame, because it's loads of fun and has some great, crazy ideas.&#xa0;If you want to play, Rayman Legends is available for the Nintendo Wii U, the Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox One, Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PlayStation 4, the Sony PlayStation Vita, and the PC.

Your Xbox One is about to get dozens of new games that previously weren't playable. Only these games aren't brand new - they're some of your favorite Xbox 360 games, now playable on the Xbox One!This <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/microsoft-xbox-one-backwards-compatibility-video-2015-11">Xbox One backwards compatibility program</a> starts on November 12 with the launch of the "New Xbox One Experience" - a major update to the console's dashboard, powered by Windows 10.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Microsoft</div></div></div>If you don't know what we mean by "backwards compatibility," we're talking about "the ability to play a select number of Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One."You don't have to buy 'em again - just stick your old disc into your Xbox One and you'll be prompted for a download. After snagging the digital version, your old Xbox 360 game will run on your new Xbox One. Pretty sweet, and it's the kind of thing that differentiates the Xbox One from the PlayStation 4 (which can't play any PlayStation 3 games).There's some great stuff on there: "Assassin's Creed 2," "Mass Effect," "Mirror's Edge," and (the best "Pac-Man" game ever made) "Pac-Man Championshp Edition DX+."Unfortunately, the list of what's compatible doesn't include some games folks have been asking for, like Rockstar Games' "Red Dead Redemption," and even Microsoft-published "Halo Reach" (which is even pictured in Microsoft's own marketing, as seen above).

These are the 100+ Xbox 360 games you can soon play on Xbox One

Remember Nintendo's Wii console? Remember playing "Wii Sports" tennis for hours on end? It was a cultural phenomenon that was nearly impossible to walk into a store and buy for nearly two full years after going on sale.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Don't expect that same reaction with <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/heres-the-new-apple-tv-2015-9">the new Apple TV</a>.First, a caveat: I've yet to use the new Apple TV. That said,&#xa0;there's a few good reasons to already be skeptical of Apple's gaming ambitions on the new set-top box.<h3>Apple Isn't&#xa0;Nintendo</h3>Unveiled Wednesday at a San Francisco Apple event, the new Apple TV arriving&#xa0;this October has Apple's massive App Store built right in. That&#xa0;enables you to download popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu and HBO GO, as well as doing stuff like shopping for clothes (with Gilt) or securing a place to stay in your favorite vacation spot&#xa0;(Airbnb).&#xa0;Most importantly, the App Store means games. Not games streamed over WiFi from your iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV, but games played locally, powered by the Apple TV itself. Doubling down on games, Apple's including a remote control that acts similarly to Nintendo's Wii controller.&#xa0;Take a look&#xa0;at Apple's and Nintendo's controllers side-by-side:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Pretty uncanny, no?Similar to the Nintendo Wii's gamepad, the Apple TV remote has motion sensing technology built in. The first game shown during Apple's presentation was "Asphalt 8" - a motion-based racing&#xa0;game popular on mobile already.Here's a look at the Apple TV remote in action:<div></div>Looks an awful lot like someone playing "Mario Kart Wii," the kart racing game starring Nintendo's all-stars, no? Except it isn't "Mario Kart." It's "Asphalt 8," which is a perfectly fine game, but is no "Mario Kart."&#xa0;And that's why Apple TV, despite being an Apple product with a <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/the-best-games-on-apple-tv-2015-9">vast library of third-party apps</a> and a relatively low price point ($150-$200), doesn't compete with even a 10-year-old home game console: it's not made by Nintendo and doesn't have Nintendo's long history of game making backing up the initiative.&#xa0;Apple's great at making hardware and software that fits into your life. Nintendo's great at making video games. These two things are not the same.People bought the Nintendo Wii for "Wii Sports," which came packed in with the console. People then bought "Super Mario Galaxy," and "Mario Kart Wii" and "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" - Nintendo-created games. While the Wii was a comparatively underpowered system with an extremely basic gamepad (by gaming standards), Nintendo smartly made games tailored to its strengths.Apple doesn't have that benefit.<h3>Developer Limitations</h3>On paper, Apple TV is a newer version of the Wii with a focus on media over gaming. In reality, Apple TV is a set-top box with mobile games. Even if Apple TV app developers wanted to make something really ambitious and made for living rooms, they'd hit Apple's 200MB imposed limit on games.&#xa0;Oh, you didn't know? Apple TV apps have a hard limit of 200MB of usable storage. <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/">Here's Apple's developer fine print</a>:There is no persistent local storage for apps on Apple TV. This means that every app developed for the new Apple TV must be able to store data in iCloud and retrieve it in a way that provides a great customer experience. Along with the lack of local storage, the maximum size of an Apple TV app is limited to 200MB. Anything beyond this size needs to be packaged and loaded using on-demand resources.Though the limit will surely increase over time, this means that - at launch in October - you're unlikely to play anything much larger than the light&#xa0;fare you've seen thus far: "Crossy Road" and "Rayman Adventures" and the like.Anything bigger than 200MB "needs to be packaged and loaded using on-demand resources" just means that you'd have to stream any additional content. That works fine if your app is Netflix. Not so much if you're making "Guitar Hero" for Apple TV.<h3>The "Controller"</h3>And what of that "gamepad" that comes with the Apple TV?&#xa0;Well, it's&#xa0;not a gamepad - it's a remote control with a touchpad at the top. This bit:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Games like "Crossy Road" work because the touchpad approximates the touchscreen on your phone/tablet. Games like "Asphalt 8" work because they approximate the motion control on your phone/tablet. But what about the trillions of other games that require more complex input in your living room? Any game that requires more than a single input method at any given time is going to have serious trouble being played without a third-party Bluetooth gamepad. Which, yeah, you have to buy separately. Of course.Try and turn the Apple TV remote&#xa0;sideways like a Wii Remote and it becomes even more cumbersome. Imagine trying to use those center buttons to interact with a game! It'd be painful and frustrating and not worth your time.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Most&#xa0;importantly, the Apple TV&#xa0;remote&#xa0;wasn't built for gaming. A volume rocker isn't a stand-in for actual buttons, and the design isn't intended for use as a gamepad. Hell, even the wrist strap seen in images isn't included with Apple TV - it's a separate purchase (somewhat unbelievably). It's a standard remote control with a few workarounds that will work with already popular mobile games.But Apple TV isn't a mobile device - it sits in your living room, next to your actual game consoles, and attempts to&#xa0;also do gaming. It's a starkly different approach than the console makers.Sure, it'll be interesting to see how app developers work within these constraints. And sure, Apple TV has support for Bluetooth gamepads if you want to get more serious (with the handful of games that support Bluetooth gamepads). But don't expect Apple&#xa0;to step up to gaming with the proficiency of Nintendo, despite having a box that's shockingly similar to Nintendo's wildly popular Wii. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/new-apple-tv-video-2015-9">You can talk to the new Apple TV - here's what it looks like</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="N3aDBndzr8NmTOtFuScQLml7yumihEoz" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
