Microsoft announced earlier this year that MS Office 2010 will officially be released in the first quarter of 2010. Originally planned for a 2009 release, probably along with the Windows 7 launch, Microsoft was unable to meet its own deadline and had to further push the release to after the launch of Windows 7.

Office 2007 had the codename Office 12, which would raise questions as to why the new revision was not codenamed Office 13. Well, looks like Microsoft is also superstitious, as the reason for skipping 13 is…simply bad luck. A new addition to this release will be “Office Web” which will consist of online versions of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote.

If your a sniper If you love games involving sniping, then this is for you! Based on the movie Shooter by Paramount Digital Entertainment from 2 years ago, this game centers at using sniper rifles and killing enemies from long range. This is a “the game of the movie” game and follows the movie very similarly. It consists of 6 missions and 5 submissions and for each mission, you choose a rifle before each mission and are camouflaged and then the action begins. This game is based on the the accelerometer of the iPhone/iPod Touch, which means patience and accuracy is crutial and takes some work to perfect (just like a real sniper).
