It´s always fun when regular media casts an eye on the gaming world. This time CNN’s Kristie LuStout talks to Blizzard Korea’s Jungwon Hahn about reasons behind the popularity of StarCraft and PC gaming in South Korea.
At the Games Convention in Leipzig, Microsoft has announced their SideWinder mouse, built from the ground up specifically with gamers in mind.
even though I never been a fan of microsofts gaming products this might ne something to look at if you are a hard core gamer … The Microsoft® SideWinder Mouse was created to meets gamers’ individual needs, providing custom tuning tools and a design for ultimate handling. The mouse also features a new “Quick Turn” feature, adjustable weight, adjustable glide, an LCD, a Vista Quick Launch button and more.
My friend JW at Xbox360rally is pissed …well that might be an understatement. You know the super hyped game Bioshock that I have nagged about one or two times (Now that’s an understatement). Some punks are selling the 360 version at EBay even though it has its release the 21: Th august …
If you are thinking of buying the game on eBay …please read JW’s note to you and for heaven sake buy the guy a copy to …I know you can afford it …
From JW’s letter: I understand perfectly your desire to get your hands on BioShock. Believe me. But use your [darn tootin’] head here: It’ll be out on the 21st. You already have money put down on the same damn game, so in reality it will cost you LESS to just finish off that pre-order payment than it would be to buy it off eBay.
Just so you know …the final iteration of the official BioShock Website is now live! Click over to www.bioshockgame.com to dive into the fully functional online world of Rapture, and there should be a demo out today … I will update as soon as I see it
With retailer breaking the BioShock street date, some lucky bastards have picked up the game, you got to hate them, sure you do … and just to tempt you a little more here is a video showing a glitch in the BioShock demo that lets players jump through glass and walk underwater.
I’m going to have to go try this. …
The game will be in stores the 21th of August …it’s less than a week guys so patience …
And here is what 2K Australia Ken Levine says about the game:
First of all, it’s really one of those games where you’ll want to save often — not because you die constantly, but because you’re going to want to replay rooms to try things a different way.
According to Kotaku.com the expansion to World of warcraft cat’s a little further out of its bag today, with a bunch of listings bearing its name turning up on the United States Patent and Trademark Office registry.
Remember this is just a rumor and Blizzard have not confirmed anything jet but on July 28, Blizzard had three trademarks issued. One covers the name of the expansion itself.
This text below is also what is sad been a leak about the FAQ for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (more…)
Since I am all out of words today, I just spam in some more videos here for you. yes only for you!
here is a brand new video from the upcomming MMO-game from Games Workshop; Warhammer online.
I don’t have words …just have a taste of the goodie here.
I should summarize the E3 07 for you shouldn’t I?
You probably know, by now that this year’s E3 was a lot different than in years past. There were no booths to tour, no crowds to navigate, and no lines and of course no bootbabes …sorry guys no pictures for you there …
While the nature of the show changed, the amount of games on display did not.
This holiday season should be the best the industry has ever seen, and the software at E3 is proof of that. With literally hundreds of games to sort through, choosing the nominees in each category was no easy task.
The GameTrailers editorial team locked themselves inside a conference room for hours sorting through all the nominees and winners to bring you our annual Best of E3 Awards. A year until next time and with that in mind, enjoy the very best of E3 2007!
The E3 07 videos never stop coming … well I found a goodie here. Have you ever playgames like Heroes of Might and Magic, Disciples, and Age of Wonders? You might even know that the precursor of the game was Kings Bounty?
Well talking about Kings Bounty and E3 07 …here is a trailer from the remake or sequel of the original King’s Bounty that came out 17 years ago. The original King’s Bounty was released in 1990 (by the now-defunct New World Computing) and blends RPG adventure, real-time exploration with turn-based tactical combat.
According to my friends at xbox360rally.com Call of Duty 4 now has a release date.
According to my friends at xbox360rally.com Call of Duty 4 now has a release date.
This will be the fourth installment in the CODseries and the first not to be set during WWII, we are all thankfull for that… also Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been announced to have a new mode called Hardcore Mode. In Hardcore Mode, a single shot in the chest, heart, etc. can kill, while getting shot in the leg will cause the player’s character to fall down.
Infinity Ward has now slated the US Release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for October 30th.
Some time ago Epic games Mark Rein said that the game, Gears of War will come to the PC platform. For all of us that played the game at the 360, we know you must have it!
Did you know that Gears of war was developed on a the personal computer so to publish it on the pc would be the next logical step.
Now …since its weekend and all I give you this cool trailer from the Pc-version. More action than you can shake a chainsaw gun at!
According to Mygen.com there is a copy of Duke nukem Forever out in the store shelves … He found it in China Town … If you don’t know what Duke Nukem Forever is the short version is that this is the game on everybody’s lips …it’s a standing joke among gamers, course Duke Nukem Forever has been under development for what ten years now … We get a screen now and then but no game …
But luckily enough someone got tired of that and finally finished the game …. and released the product to store shelves.
It’s unknown how the game plays, or what is even on the disc.
I doubt it’s quite the game everyone talks about … But!!! If anyone gets that game for me from Chinatown I will gladely send a copy of the new game overlord for you
You all know by now how much I love FPS games … I simply cant resist this new Call of Duty 4video. This trailer shows how you can use the double tap feature to shoot with intermittent bursts rather in Call of Duty 4.
According to worthplaying there will be an beta test for the ultimate online role-playing game Fury, starting 6:th July.
Fury takes the best elements of an MMO - combat, advancement and teamwork - and blends them with the best elements of an FPS - instant action, fast pacing and diverse game types. This has since been a fact for just about everyone under the sun and for us that really are FPS and role-playing fans this should be the ultimate game …
If you want to know earlier than anybody else, you should Sign up here to participate in the beta test. If you still are nit sure …you should look at this trailer first
Finnish magazine Pelaaja grabbed a few scans of the game
Fallout 3, in progress and what can you say other than God damn it’s Fallout it must be good especially since Bethesda is the name behind the game.
These scans look great and will probably satisfy the rabid part of the fans for a while.
The scans confirm Bethesda’s previous confirmation of using a modified Oblivion engine and keeping the 1st and 3rd person perspective for RPG narrative. The Ps3fanboys will be updating with more scans and screen shots as they come in.
Fallout 3 is scheduled for release in fall of 2008 and comes for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
Is it ever good to be bad? You know that Codemaster is about to release a new game where you (the player) take control of a mysterious and evil Overlord. Only you’re actions will determine if you will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord or not. It’s all up to how bad you want to be… evil or really evil!
These videos show the minions that you can use in the game. They have one mission; they shall use their powers to serve their dark lord, and only their dark lord.
This is a game for all of us that taught dungeon keeper was to nice …
Remember … being bad can be a lot of fun
