Grand Theft Auto 4 Like Gears of War
As the GTA4 marketing campaign livens up for a Q2 release of GTA4, IGN got some poop about how the shooting mechanics in GTA4 will be much more like Gears of War (with a proper cover and aiming mechanic) that gamers have come to expect from shooters (cough COD4) like Uncharted and Gears of War. That’s [...]

Saturday, January 26, 2008
Ted Regulski sends in news of simply “This is why you own a PS3″ then points to the NeoGAF thread with the new released screenshots for Resistance 2 are. Given what Insomniac did with Resistance: Fall of Man, and the expertise they showed to create the best launch title for the PS3, then following that up [...]

Holy piss-goblins… World of Warcraft officially passed the 10 million player mark. Let’s break that down… 10,000,000 x $15/mo = $150,000,000/mo 150,000,000 x 12 months = $1,800,000,000 Umm… this game makes Blizzard almost $2 billion a year. I think… yep… that’s more than I make right now. I think the US Govt should retire the Fed and just use [...]

Monday, January 7, 2008
I’m giving this the “stupidest tech at CES” award. With multiplayer on the rise, broadband becoming more and more pervasive… the need to invest a dual-display DLP that requires wearing stupid special glasses in order for 2 players to see 2 separate images from the same TV in order to cater to local multiplayer only… [...]

Monday, January 7, 2008
Grant Gochnauer just sent in this goodie. It’s the new Alienware curved gaming monitor: And yes, for the astute folks out there, it is a DLP-based monitor (just as the tech is dying in HDTVs, gaming monitor folks pick it up… why?) and has a response time of 0.02ms, so more or less instant. The interesting part [...]

Saturday, December 15, 2007
For the readers that remember the “Crysis Extreme Physics” post from a few weeks ago, here’s a new one to whet your appetite: Just a reminder, this isn’t a movie recorded at real time. The processing power required to actually calculate all those physical bodies is something that no PC can do right now. The actual How-To [...]

Summary Introduction Review Running and Gunning Jumping Around (Platforming) Story and Environment Conclusion Areas of Improvement Bonus (End of Game) Summary [7.5 out of 10] Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a diamond smeared with peanut butter. Uncharted oozes polish from every pore except for shooting mechanics… and unfortunately for it, shooting makes up more than 1/2 your time in this adventure. The constant dying you will [...]

Saturday, December 8, 2007
This is the question Deep Shadows, developers of White Gold, asked their users recently in the official forums. Seriously? What would gamers, say 90%+ ratio for FPSs, think of topless women in games? Here’s a hint… topless women have been awesome since Duke Nukem 3D: Also it’s a scientific fact that boobs are more awesome than [...]

Tuesday, December 4, 2007
We covered Ghostbusters before with a brief segment showing what the gameplay with the proton pack looks like, but IGN AU has coughed up a great preview of the game along with lots of snazzy screenshots. Word on the street is that the tech lead on Ghostbusters is really toughing just how much time they are [...]

Monday, December 3, 2007
Summary [8 out of 10] Assassin’s Creed, if played right, is fantastic. The epic story (dual-intertwined story arcs), flawless animations, excellent voice acting, striking environments and generally excellent graphics will have you hooked if played in chunks. Trying to burn through the game end-to-end in a marathon could leave you annoyed with some the repetitive game [...]
