MIX MASTER MIKE AND QUINCY JONES III CROWN THE ULTIMATE DJ
 DJ Hymn Reigns Supreme in National Competition Sponsored by Numark® |
|
Scratch the Ultimate DJ (Numark®) recently announced LA’s DJ Hymn as winner of their wildly popular contest, Who’s the Ultimate DJ? The contest was announced in November 2009 and called upon DJs nationwide to film and submit videos of themselves scratching to one of the featured tracks in the Scratch video game. Additionally, DJs were also invited to film their submissions at The Scratch DJ Academy in front of an intimate audience of top Numark executives and noted professionals such as DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Babu (Beat Junkies).
However, in the end it would be the judges: World renowned accomplished music producers Mix Master Mike and Quincy Jones III who would narrow hundreds of entries down to three finalists, eventually choosing DJ Hymn (who was filmed scratching on the track “Slacker” by Tech N9ne) as The Ultimate DJ. Prizes include top of the line Akai and Numark equipment. DJ Hymn will also have his video featured on Scratch’s website and social network pages (Youtube, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook), as well as AllHipHop.com. “This is a dream come true on so many different levels,” says Hymn. “Not only am I humbled to be chosen as winner by two people I greatly admire, I was given the opportunity to compete amongst my peers - in my element. There’s so much talent out there and I got to be a part of it…up close and personal.” Look out for DJ Hymn’s unmistakable, hi-intensity sound on the coming video game, “Crazy Train” for Nintendo DSI coming spring 2010. |

Volvo - The Game, the free game that surpasses all expectations
Volvo - The Game was launched on May 26. By December 1, it had already been played on more than 850,000 computers the world over. About 20,000 new players take up the challenge every week.
“Volvo - The Game is of exceptionally high quality even though it is a free game,” says Magnus Ling, executive vice president of SimBin. “We generally say that a game from SimBin should be easy to drive but hard to master, so the player grows with the challenge. It is typically difficult to find the best braking points and track your ideal line in the beginning, but after a couple of laps most players have control over their driving and frustration is replaced by pleasure,” he explains.
The cars and the tracks are also extremely realistic. Both the Volvo C30 and the Volvo S60 Concept are eye-catching new cars. For enthusiasts of older cars there are classics such as the Volvo 855, Volvo 240 and several more to choose between. Each car has its own unique driving feel, and is “built” to replicate the original as faithfully as possible.
Don’t be tempted to assume that it is only youngsters who are playing this electronic game, because it has a dedicated following of men and women aged 30 or 40 and up.
The Chayka Racetrack in Kiev in the Ukraine was an entirely new venue in the car game context. It has also helped boost the appeal of Volvo - the Game.
Volvo - The Game was launched on May 26 2009 and can be downloaded for free from www.volvocars.com/game.

NINTENDO BRINGS MULTIPLAYER EXCITEMENT TO THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM WITH NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. Wii
Mario’s Newest Adventure Offers Simultaneous Four-Player Mode, In-Game Guides
From fans who grew up playing the NES™ console to gamers with a passion for the Wii™ console, generations of Canadians have enjoyed the imaginative fun of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros.™ video game series. Now the launch of New Super Mario Bros. Wii heralds the first time in the history of the series that up to four players can compete at the same time, either cooperatively or competitively.
Packed with beloved characters and remarkable new features, New Super Mario Bros. Wii takes the classic side-scrolling adventure of the Super Mario Bros. series and gives it a manic multiplayer boost. Featuring free-form multiplayer action, players can save their companions from danger or literally toss them right into it. While controlling Mario™, Luigi™ or one of two playable Toad™ characters, players can jump in and join a friend’s Story Mode game at the start of any level. The game also features two dedicated multiplayer modes, Coin Battle mode and Free For All mode, that let players easily select their favourite stages and compete across a variety of objectives. Each copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes in a red case with a foil-stamped cover.
Among the new features in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is Mario’s ability to transform into Penguin Mario, which allows him to toss snowballs and slide on his belly at breakneck speed. Players also can hop onto a Yoshi™ character and use his tongue to eat enemies, items and fireballs. The game also makes use of the Wii console’s unique motion controls, allowing players to tilt the Wii Remote™ controller to control seesaw platforms or shake it to send Mario skyward in his new Propeller Suit.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii introduces a new feature called Super Guide that offers players optional game-play tips if they are having trouble getting past particular parts of the game. Super Guide lets players watch as a computer-controlled Luigi character makes his way through any stage that the player finds difficult. At any time in the video, the player can take control of Luigi and complete the stage at his or her own pace.

SwiMp3 waterproof MP3 player HANDS-ON REVIEW
The SwiMP3 V2 player manufactured by technical swimming development company Finis is an underwater MP3 player aimed at the recreational and competitive swimmer who is looking for an extra boost to their training routines. Having swam competitively as a teenager, I was excited to try out this device to see if it lived up to its hype. And did it ever…
Loading MP3s onto the device was a simple matter of plugging in the attached USB connector to my PC, and dragging files from my local drive onto the player. With no required software to be installed, it was literally plug-and-play (Windows 98 users may need USB support to be installed). Charging is also done through USB, and after a short while the player was ready to hit the lake. The SwiMP3 device has 256MB of internal memory for your music files, which translates to approximately 3 hours of continuous music. This may not seem like a lot in this day and age of multi-gig players, but unless you’re training for cross-lake marathons, it should be more than enough to get you through the hardiest of workouts.
I attached the player to the included goggles and dove in for a swim. You have to turn up the volume quite a bit to overcome the ambient noises associated with being under water, but once the levels were set I was amazed at the audio quality. Music sounds a little tinny above water, but once your head goes under the audio comes out full and clear. I kept swimming and listening and in no time found myself halfway across the lake. Since the device uses bone-conductive technology, your ears are left open to hear outside noises, such as an oncoming boat or your coach’s whistles while doing laps in the pool. The control buttons are difficult to use while the player is on your head, but I’m sure with a bit of practice it will be second nature to reach up and adjust the volume or select a new track.
The SwiMP3 players comes bundled with a pair of comfortable and clear swim goggles, a bright pink swim cap, along with the instruction guide, and has an MSRP of $149.99 USD. If you spend any amount of time in the water and are jealous of the folks on the treadmills with their music and tv’s, the Finis SwiMP3 V2 player is just the thing for you to spice up your workouts.
