PREDATORS

posted in MOVIE, NEWS | Leave a Comment

Well.. it seems that after (a lot) of bad movies, they are doing a (seem decent) movie in the Aliens vs Predator universe.. The last good ones were Aliens 2 and Predator, to be honest half the movie of predator imo was made by Arnold Schwarzenegger.. For me the stars are the space-colonial-marines(Aliens) and-or Special Ops(Predator).. not viceversa.

This movie is a remake or heavy inspired by the first Predator movie (no there will be no Arnold), with a twist.. there is a jungle.. but the poor humans this time are on an alien planet..

Last Note: i bought Aliens vs Predator (the new one) videogame.. and for me it was like wasting money..
The game is good, but multiplayer is empty, and bad made, plus i thought they did a 4 marines story co-operative a-la left for dead.. eansted just standard multiplayer.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is great!

posted in NEWS, VIDEO | Leave a Comment


Bad Company 2 resolution 5080×1050

Well ok now i can say it.. i really like bad company 2 on pc, still not perfect (i mean the console port it’s clearly a heavy weight) but it was quite some time i didn’t enjoy a game so much..

The graphic is amazing, the gameplay is great and multiplayer battle are really entertaining..
No idea on singleplayer, i never played it (and probably never). So far the only bad point is that all this goodness requires a really good computer (a 4 core cpu and an expensive video card) but apart that it’s Dice at its best! Last but not least the audio, it’s incredible how they implemented the enviroment.

Can’t wait for Battlefield 3.

Mabinogi: Heroes.. Now it’s Vindictus!

Formerly known as Mabinogi: Heroes, Vindictus receives a new name in the Western Market.

Vindictus, (still) called Mabinogi Heroes in Asia, is a fast paced 3D fantasy real-time action MMO that’s set in the same game world as the original Mabinogi. Even though the two games are set in the same world they are distinctly different. Vindictus is realistic, bloody, fast paced and features a solid combo system. The game is powered by the action source engine which Valve developed and used for several of its own games.

Space Exploration: Serpens Sector (Dev 10)

posted in LINUX, MAC, NEWS, RPG | Leave a Comment

Space Exploration: Serpens Sector is an upcoming RPG by Metal Beetle Ltd. It’s a work in progress, but you can download a development preview now.

In SE:SS, you are tasked with charting the long-abandoned Serpens Sector, a region of space reached through a wormhole near Earth. Each star system you visit brings you an encounter with something – aliens, ancient ruins, other humans and many dangers. The map and encounters are chosen at random for each game, which means that each game plays out differently.

Author releases new previews every once in a while and he is very interested in any feedback – so once you’ve tried it out, head over to the developer’s forum and tell him what you think – or use the feedback form. You can also follow the game’s development on Twitter.

The base game will be free and there will be expansion packs for sale. The 1.0 version of the game is scheduled to be released later this year, and will be available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
