And you’re reading my uncensored review of what I really thought about Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide.

Note that this is a review. If you’re looking for the official Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide website, then click here: Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide

Why am I writing this? Well, when I was thinking of buying Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide, there wasn’t many real reviews around.

So, I thought I’d do a quick write-up to help any of you who are in the same position I was.

But be warned, I’ll be going into the good and the bad points of Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide, so if that’s not something you want to read, you might may as well leave now.

What Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide has helped me achieve:

One of the best things about this StarCraft 2 guide and separates it from the rest is how it doesn’t offer generalized information. It offers a variety effective strategies depending on your race of choice and who you’re playing against including strengths and weaknesses for each along with build orders.

The top 5 things that I learned from Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

1 A complete hot key guide for whichever race you choose.

2 Build orders for each race to get you up and running as fast as possible. Combined with the hot key guide, first time gamers can improve their level exponentially by employing these two sections.

3 A section on StarCraft 2 terms/lingo so that you can hold your own with the best of them when you’re in game.

4 A scouting guide so that you can most effectively and safely check up on your opposition’s progress in a game.

5 A guide on the XEL Naga cliff trick so that you can use the watch towers without being attacked.

What I find most useful about Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

This is a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the guides which lump everything all into one strategy. If you try one across-the-board method, it’s likely going to work in less than 50% of the games which you play in.

In addition to the guides in the member’s section, there are dozens of videos taken from real matches which showcase effective and winning strategies firsthand which I found to be a major help, as reading something is one thing but seeing it in action and having it being explained there is so much better.

Who would benefit from purchasing Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

Shokz’s is one of the first StarCraft 2 tip guides available to give players of this sequel to the best selling original all of the tips and edge that they need to smoke out their competition, regardless of their race choice and game play strategy. It was written by a diamond level (Battle.net) beta testers of the game who knows all of the ins and outs and wrote the guide so that first time players can expontentially improve on their level while focusing more on a wealth of strategies for more experience players.

What I think was left out of Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

Nothing that I can tell unless you’re a purist who likes to endure the pain of learning by trail and error.

How quickly Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide can help someone:

Almost instantly and it should be noted that with the guide you get constant updates for life so given that the game is still in its infancy we can expect multiple additions in the coming weeks and months.

Proof that Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide really works:

You will find you plan better and play more successfully by using Shokz Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide & Campaign Guide

Carbonite Review http://www.netthrowpc.com/pc/carbonite-review http://www.netthrowpc.com/pc/carbonite-review#comments Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:59:59 +0000 admin http://www.netthrowpc.com/?p=4346

Protect your files with Carbonite Online Backup

Carbonite backup is one the many online backup storage services available in the market today which are designed to provide alternative backup protection in the event of computer failures or natural catastrophes. This Carbonite review takes a closer look at the service and evaluates its features to see how it keeps up with the demands of the times. Carbonite Backup Main Features Carbonite charges an annual subscription fee of $54.95 which gives you unlimited backup capacity, encrypted storage, user-friendly procedures and technical support that comes in the forms of phone, live chat and email. This software runs on Windows XP, Vista and Macintosh. Carbonite uses a single type of service which is applicable both for personal and business use. Currently, the service is free for a 15-day trial period with no credit card required. Pros Carbonite users are satisfied and impressed by many features of online backup services, as the following: Ease of Use – It is easy to set-up and use. The installation is fast and simple and the backup process is easy to follow. Security – Files are encrypted before leaving your computer and are stored encrypted on Carbonite’s secured servers, completely safeguarding them from unauthorized access. Background Worker – This online storage backup facility functions quietly in the background without slowing down your computer or causing any disruption to your work. Automatic Backup – When you are done with the installation and initial backup, you can simply forget about it. A wide range of file types are backed up automatically so that you do not have worry about doing the task on your own. Reliable Service at a Small Cost – Carbonite backup offers a very affordable way of keeping your files secure. At less than $5/month, that’s a small price to pay for convenience and peace of mind. Cons There are a number of places where this service can improve. Hopefully some of these enhancements will come soon. Firstly, even if the customer service ensured by Carbonite is one of the best ones, users think that it would still require some improvements. Most of them have complained that the queries are not handled as promised and the information delivered is sometimes not enough. Offering live chat, phone and e-mail support is a great move, but in order to maximize their customers’ satisfaction Carbonite needs to pay more attention at the services’ quality. Restoring files in volume or doing so to another operating system (e.g. Windows XP to Vista) has proven to be a difficult experience for some. Since the main intention of having an online storage backup is to have access to your files anytime you may need them, a complicated retrieval process can discourage users from utilizing the service. It is most important to know that Carbonite will only perform automatic backups on documents, photos, music files, email and settings. Large individual files as well as applications and videos must initially be backed up manually. Once you have done that, those files will be added to the automatic backup from then on. Not knowing this has caused some people to lose their music and videos when their computers crashed. Carbonite Review Summary Carbonite is one of the more reliable online backup services available today. It places a lot of emphasis on ease of use and security, which are two of the main considerations that home users look for. However, it is not perfect but none of these services are. There has to be some comprimise when you’re paying less than $5/month for unlimited online backup. The good news is, Carbonite and services similar to it continue to improve every year.
