Ayat-ayat Cinta The Movie, From Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s Novel
March 21, 2008
Ayat Ayat Cinta is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story – a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals.
Fahri bin Abdillah (Fedi Nuril) is a poor, intelligent student who wins a scholarship to complete his graduate degree at Egypt’s esteemed Al Azhar University. Very disciplined and dedicated by nature, Fahri embraces his life in Cairo, completing his studies and translation of religious books with full enthusiasm, exactly according to pre-determined targets
Only one goal is left unattempted: the pursuit of marriage.For Fahri is innocent and pure, and doesn’t believe in the concept of relationships prior to marriage. He is inarticulate and shy around women. All his life, only two women have been close to him – his mother and grandmother
Life changes drastically in Egypt for he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four beautiful, distinctly different women. Maria Girgis (Carissa Putri), a shy, open-minded Coptic-Christian neighbor who is attracted to the teachings of the Holy Al Quran, finds herself falling in love with Fahri (a fact she only reveals to her diary)
Nurul (Melanie Putria), a student at Al Azhar like Fahri, is the Muslim daughter of a renowned Indonesian cleric. Fahri feels unworthy of her and thus ignores his feelings for her, leaving her confused and guessing. Noura (Zaskia Adya Mecca), an abused Egyptian neighbor, develops strong romantic feelings for Fahri, who in turn simply sympathizes with her situation. His romantic rejection destroys her and eventually leads to a false accusation of rape
Aisha (Rianti Cartwright), a German Turkish student in Cairo haunts Fahri with her beautiful eyes. Following an incident on the metro where Fahri defends her against narrow minded bigoted Muslims, both immediately develop feelings for each other
As the story unravels, the protagonist makes the audience face the daunting decisions he himself faces, and forces us to marvel at his undying loyalty to the true ideals of Islam as he ultimately makes the choice of a lifetime

large database containing more than 75,000 historical results from various
leagues!
A powerful editor is included in the game.

over 400 elements enables you to build ultra-realistic stadiums. Create
absolutely unique dream stadiums in a matter of minutes.
- “Real” scouting
For the first time in the history of the FIFA MANAGER series, players must
really be scouted, otherwise the stats of players from other clubs are
hidden or shown as rough estimates. Agencies and a capable staff help you
in your work. This feature makes the transfer market even more realistic
and exciting.
- Dressing-room chemistry
Here the emphasis is on communication with the players. With this feature
you can make the players short-term (”You’re playing tomorrow!”) or
long-term promises (”I’ll make an international player out of you!”). But
be careful - if you don’t keep your promises, your players’ motivation and
your personal reputation will suffer.
Also new: The players can now confront you as their manager directly and
demand time on the pitch, a different shirt number, the captain’s armband,
or the job of penalty-taker.
- Transfer market
Here you can offer your own players to other clubs directly, make
long-term promises when you sign players, and use the option “Last Word”
in negotiations. All this and 25 further improvements provide an
absolutely realistic atmosphere.

The screen has been optimized for a resolution of 1280×1024 to provide a
better overview (other resolutions are also supported).
- Training
FIFA MANAGER 08 offers you a completely revamped training system with a
player analysis tool. Monitor the development of each of your players in
every area on a weekly basis. Use modern methods to tailor a personal
training schedule for each player! Choosing and practicing specific set
pieces for the 3D-matches is important to ensure that your team is well
prepared for the next opponent.
- Media
Now once again there are realistic pre-match, post-match, TV studio and
press conference interviews. Experience the feeling of being in the
public spotlight and managing a top club!
- 3D matches
Higher resolution, more detailed textures, more attractive stadiums,
better visualisation of the players’ skills, improved passing – good is
now even better.
- Series
The new Series tool analyzes the game world each day and searches for
interesting events. Whether a team has won 10 penalty shoot-outs in a
row, or a player has scored seven goals in consecutive matches, you’ll
find it here!
The analysis covers more than 150 different types of series.
- New features
There are tons of new and innovative features: Simulation mode (where
you can simulate 20 seasons overnight), set up youth camps all over
the world (simply choose the country and location), a Hall of Fame for
top players, a 24- hour ticker for transfers at the last moment at the
end of the transfer window, test matches against your own amateur and
youth teams, 20 personal prizes for you as manager (for example the
golden Key to the city), and more.
- Season history/ Europe in comparison
Now with even more statistics and overviews of the course of the
season – from the FIFA/Coca- Cola world rankings to changes in the
All-Time Table. From the best youth players to analysis of the
preparation of all clubs. A special, new statistics area allows you
to compare important data between the European top leagues at any
time.

Final Fantasy XII Games in Reviews
March 14, 2008
Final Fantasy XII Storyline : Final Fantasy XII is set in the land of Ivalice, in an age where “magic was commonplace” and “airships plied the skies, crowding out the heavens”. At this time, magicite, a magic-rich mineral, is commonly used in magic spells and in powering airships—a popular form of transportation in Ivalice. Ivalice is divided into three continents: Ordalia, Valendia, and Kerwon. Ordalia is located in the western part of Ivalice. The Rozarrian Empire makes its home in the vast inland plains of this continent, as the eastern portion of it is largely desert, or “jagd”—lawless lands so rich in Mist (the ethereal manifestation of magicite) that airships cannot fly over them. Valendia is the home of Imperial Archadia, where vast and lush plains dot the landscape. Central to the story is Dalmasca, a small kingdom between the two continents and Empires. Located in the middle of the Galtean Peninsula of Ordalia, Dalmasca is surrounded by an expanse of desert. The temperate climate of Dalmasca differs from the cold environs of Kerwon and the lush plains of Valendia and Ordalia. During this time, Ivalice is beset in pending war between the forces of Rozarria and Archadia. Caught between the two powerful Empires, Dalmasca and other small nations are subjugated by Archadia two years before the game begins. Read more
