Raptr

Just trying out a new client that goes by the name Raptr. It claims to be a cross between Xifre, Xbox Live, Facebook and Jesus. I'll be the judge of the latter.

Join up and see for yourselves, I'm off to try the in-game interface (if it has one)

Online Gaming? Peh!

You know what? Sod online gaming. Nothing can ever beat a two player session on Timesplitters Future Perfect. 5 minutes, Thief and Mexican mission.

Pure, classic fun.

Unskippable - Dead Rising

These are immense. I had to share :P

Proper blog tomorrow! 

Timesplitters 4

If you haven't already heard, Free Radical are back in business. How you ask? Well it’s actually a one of those stories that restores hope in the industry .None other than Crysis developer Crytek has provided them with financial stability. Crytek! Crytek have saved Timesplitters 4! How amazing is that!

 

I can’t wait for the next installment in the Timesplitters series. It’s going to epic. I can FEEL it.

Resident Evil 5

After playing the demo for the first time yesterday, I posted this as a topic on nFortress:

 

Decided to make a new thread, because It was released on the PS3 today. Well the demo was.
Here's my impressions then. I played through the first chapter and hated every second of it. It wasn't Resi 4, and it wasn't the original Resi's and quite frankly I was dissapointed. I sat in quiet hatred, mumbling to myself over every flaw.
Then I played the second bit, and ADORED every second of it. Then I played the first chapter again, and loved that too.
This game is everything I hoped it was going to be. The graphics are superb, the controls are perfect and the enemies are as good as they were on Resi 4. I'm not too keen on the co-op online, but who cares. You don't have to play it.
It's not the "Bastardisation" of the series that everyone was raving about. It's different, and that's never a bad thing. It's just changed that's all, and I wish more people would accept that.
Oh, and bear in mind, this is coming from a hardcore Resident Evil fan.
P.S. if anyone dares say "OMG YOU CAN'T MOVE AND SHOOT" I have one thing to say. GTFO of my game, you never could and you never will.

And would you believe it, everyone basically slated it. Beh.

 

Anyway, I personally can’t wait for release day!

All Will Be Revealed… In The Credits

 

Ah Still Alive from the Portal credits. Let’s face it, whether you like it or not, it was genius. I mean, who saw that coming? Honestly. It was immense, and I don’t think I’ve laughed so much because of end credits… well ever.

 

I never thought I’d be impressed with another credit song, but then I finished Precipice Of Darkness and… Well. I discovered the song below :P

 

It takes a while to get into, but the lyrics are hilarious.

 

Red Alert 3

Finally got my hands on a copy of Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 today and I can safely say it’s one of the best RTS’ I've played in a long time. It’s not as good as the legend that is Warcraft 3, but it’s certainly on par with Warhammer: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.

 

Consisting of insane gameplay (Soviet Bears?), fantastic cut scenes (Casting Tim Curry as the leader of the USSR is just sheer genius) and a rather disturbing view on the role of women (A free poster that consists of nothing but women in low cut tops was included in the game box) means that Red Alert 3 is everything that I expected.

 

A must buy, comrades.
