Player endorsements are a big thing in cricket games – Allan Border, Brian Lara, Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting are just some of the players who have put their names to cricket games in the past – all greats of the game and all doing their bit to sell copies of games, but no one really worried about destroying Shane Warne’s reputation with a cricket game. Don Bradman – that’s different. The Don comes with a weight of history, a legendary status in the cricketing world and a name that defines cricket perfection. Putting that on a cricket game takes a lot of confidence, and developer Big Ant Studios think they have the game to live up to the biggest of names.
Releasing in 2014 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, Don Bradman Cricket 14 has spent nearly five years in development, funded and supported by CEO Ross Symons’ passion for the sport. Only recently to get wider distribution of the game has a deal been made with publisher HES, but Big Ant’s logo sits proudly on the front cover, unlike their previous titles.
To make the game the revolution it needs to be to match up with the name, it has a long list of firsts and total changes from the past – becoming the first cricket game with a full career mode, a built in player creator and the first with the ability to save games in progress online – finally making it viable to play a test match online in a cricket game. There is also innovation in control schemes, with batting and bowling all totally different from previous titles, all adding up to the impression that Big Ant may succeed at the finer points that previous titles have failed at.
The Sydney Cricket Ground and Bradman Oval are the two licensed stadiums in the game with a further eleven unlicensed grounds included from around the world.
While the game is still awaiting a release date, you can practice batting in the nets of theCricket Academy Beta. As well as being able to bat in the nets, you can also create players, tours, tournaments and unique match types, showing off some of the huge flexibility included in the game. Players created in the editor are able to be shared, including across platforms. The career mode will allow you to take your created player through a 20 year career, go on tours, get endorsements and earn your way into the national team. Other features included in the game are the ‘Big Ant Review System’ implementation of DRS, manual appealing, stats tracking as well as stamina, fatigue, injuries, form, etc. as factors in player performances.

LAS VEGAS—It seems like a bit of a disconnect for HP to announce new commercial PCs at a trade show focused on consumer electronics, but HP—which didn’t book exhibit space at this years CES—is wise not to waste the opportunity.
The company unveiled seven new products Sunday evening, including its first all-in-one that runs the Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) operating system instead of Windows. HP is positioning the Slate 21 Pro AiO as an everyday business machine that also has applications in the education and hospitality markets.
HPs Slate 21 Pro all-in-one runs Android, but you can also use it as a touchscreen display for a Windows PC.
The Slate 21 Pro is powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, 2GB of DDR3/800 memory, and 16GB of eMMC flash storage. Its 21.5-inch IPS optical touchscreen (two touch points and three cameras) has a native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The all-in-one also comes with an HDMI input and can be used as a display for another computer, such as a laptop. Connect a USB cable and you can control the computer using the Slate 21 Pro’s touchscreen.
The Slate 21 Pro will have three USB 2.0 ports, one USB 2.0 upstream port, an SD media card reader, and a 720p webcam and mic. Its networking capabilities include an onboard 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi adapter and 10/100 mb/s wired Ethernet. HP envisions buyers using cloud-based applications such as Google Docs but the company is also bundling a number of first- and third-party apps with the machine. These include the HP File Manager and copies of Kingsoft Office, Evernote, Hulu Plus, Skype, and Box (with 50GB of free cloud storage).
Citrix XenMobile and Citrix Receiver are preinstalled, so that enterprise buyers can deploy the Slate 21 Pro as a smart thin client. With these apps, users can run Windows apps in a virtual workspace running on a remote server. For deployments in classroom environments, HP will also provide the student version of its Classroom Manager software.
HP says the Slate 21 Pro is available now at prices starting at $399, including a wired keyboard and mouse.
The rest of the lineup HP announced tonight are all Windows machines.
HP ProOne 400 AiO and HP 205 AiO
The HP ProOne 400 all-in-one PC will have a 19.5-inch display with native resolution of 1600 by 900 pixels (in touch- and non-touch configurations). The computer will be powered by a fourth-generation Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor and up to 16GB of DDR3/1600 memory, and will have up to 2TB of storage (options include mechanical, hybrid, and self-encrypting solid-sate drives). Several optical drive options are available, including none at all, a simple DVD reader, or a Blu-ray burner.
The HP ProOne 400 is available in touch and non-touch configurations, with prices starting at $649.
The machine has two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.2 with multi-streaming (to drive up to two additional displays), gigabit Ethernet, dual-band 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and—to support legacy hardware—an RS-232 serial port (betcha haven’t seen one of those in a while). Prices for the HP ProOne 400 start at $649 (non-touch) and $799 (touch); both machines are available now.
HP is targeting the low-cost HP 205 AiO squarely at the small end of the SMB market. This desktop computer is powered by a dual-core AMD E1-2500 processor, 4 or 8GB of DDR3/1600 memory, and a 500MB, 1TB, or 2TB 7200 rpm hard drive. Its 18.5-inch non-touch display delivers native resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels and is driven by integrated AMD Radeon HD 8240 graphics. I/O ports include two USB 2.0 and four USB 3.0, a 7-in-1 memory-card reader, a 10/100 mb/s Ethernet adapter, an optional 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi adapter, and a 720p webcam. The HP 205 is available now and starts at $449.
HP 200 Microtower
Prices for the very basic HP 200 Microtower start at just $349.
If that’s still too rich for your blood, the HP 200 Microtower will be available March 5 at prices starting at $349. But you’ll need to provide your own monitor.
Processor choices range from a dual-core Intel Celeron J1750 to a quad-core Intel Pentium J2850, with base configurations coming with just 2GB of DDR3/1600 memory (you can also order one with 4- or 8GB of memory).
With specs like that, this machine won’t break any benchmark records, but if your needs are modest, it sounds like a decent computer for the price.
HP Pro x2 410 and HP 350 G1 notebooks
HP also announced two new commercial notebooks at CES: the HP Pro x2 410 and the HP 350 G1. The former is a 2-in-1 design with an 11.6-inch, 1366 by 768-pixel display that detaches from its keyboard dock.
The tablet and keyboard dock weigh 5.3 pounds when combined.
It’s available with either a fourth-generation Intel Core i3 or i5 processor; 4GB of DDR3/1600 memory; and a 64, 128, or 256GB SSD. The laptop has an Intel HD Graphics 4200 integrated GPU and HDMI 1.4a. It comes with a gigabit Ethernet adapter and can be configured with one of three 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi adapters. The tablet half of the product weighs 1.8 pounds, and the keyboard dock weighs 3.48 pounds. The laptop is available now at prices starting at $899.
As it did with the HP 205 all-in-one, HP is targeting small businesses with the budget-priced HP 350 G1 laptop: Prices start at just $399—not bad for a notebook with a 15.6-inch display at a native resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels.
Prices for the HP 350 G1 will start at just $399, but will likely rise quickly as you add or upgrade components.
Now, the base configuration consists of a dual-core Intel Celeron processor, 2GB of DDR3/1600 memory, and a 320GB hard drive, but other configurations are also available. You can order one with a dual-core Intel Pentium or an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor; 4 or 8GB of memory; and up to 1TB of mechanical storage. The HP 350 G1 is available now.
We already knew Samsung will be all over CES 2014 and it most certainly is! After announcing its brand new line-up of Televisions and Tablets, Samsung has just unveiled the ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition Ultrabook and ATIV One7 2014 Edition.
Samsung ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition features a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display which offers a 20 percent brighter, 125 percent higher definition display than the previous generation Book 9 with wide-angle viewing angles, Intel’s 4th generation (Haswell) Core i5/i7 ULV CPUs, 8GB of RAM, 720p HD front facing camera and up to 1TB of flash storage. The ultrabook also comes with Windows 8.1 out of the box.
Samsung claims the new ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition ultrabook has a 14-hour battery life. Samsung actually downgraded the display resolution from 3200 x 1800, the one found on the previous generation 13.3-inch ATIV Book 9 Plus, to 1920 x 1080 just because of battery life as the previous model simply had terrible battery life. It measures in at 374.3 x 249.9 mm and weighs around 1.85 kg. The device will be offered in Solid Black, and will be available globally.
Alongside the ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition, Samsung also announced the ATIV One 7 2014 Edition All-in-One PC. The Ativ One 7 includes a 24-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display, Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 1TB of HDD storage.
As of this moment, exact release date and pricing on the latest ATIV products isn’t available.
