As an apology to web response to the current beginner focused demo, gamers will be immersed in true excitement of the game, experiencing the depth of game play and full game mechanics. Viewers will be entranced as the camera takes control playing out dramatic events heralding each interactive segment.

Play each of six level 92 Krabbits adorned in flaming, poison or ice bracers as you defeat the evil arch nemesis throughout numerous scenes. In the final epic battle defeat all characters you played.

Feedback from gamers has been very positive, with one gamer stating that “The game has one of the most insanely strategic combat systems I’ve ever seen in an RPG!” Another gamer felt that the new demo, which features dramatic story driven cut scene samples & easy to follow instructions is very exciting, saying that “It was cool to see what my characters can get and become!”

Victoria – Tecagora Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of PhotoCenter, an online service for consumers to order photo prints and other photo gift products.

In today’s world of technology, digital cameras are becoming smaller, camera resolution and memory card storage continue to get larger, and the price of cameras and memory card storage are becoming more affordable. Despite today’s world of advanced technology in online photo sharing and digital photo frames to display your photos, many consumers still prefer the traditional printing of photos, flipping through photo albums, and creating scrapbooks.

“Tecagora has always envisioned providing software solutions and services designed to make things easier to do for photo enthusiasts,” states Bruce Kwan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tecagora. “There is immense value and convenience in being able to select the photos to print, and order photo gifts from the comfort of your home and have them delivered right to your door. With PhotoCenter, we’re please to offer quality prints and products to help showcase your photos.”

By using the PhotoCenter services, Tecagora has eliminated the need of driving to a local retailer, waiting in line for a photo kiosk or at a service desk, and going through the process of selecting the photos and waiting for them to print. Products available from the PhotoCenter include items such as standard photo prints, canvas prints, posters, mugs, t-shirts, and puzzles. The PhotoCenter Product-Builder also helps to create and design the photo gifts right before your eyes. With PhotoCenter, ordering photo prints and gifts is simple to do, fast, and easy to use.

To end today’s Christmas Eve News, I’d like to send you over to the Bootup Labs Blog to experience their fun music video featuring “The folks from all of the companies at Bootup Labs and the rockstars of Strutta.”
