0 Doom 3 BFG Launch Trailer

You like old games? You like old, at the time sort-off revolutionary, games to be remade? Then this must be a happy day! ID Software released a launch trailer for Doom 3 BFG. Doom 3 with better graphics, newer textures, added checkpoints (for when, you die, a lot). So have fun with the trailer. DOOM 3 BFG Edition features re-mastered versions of both DOOM 3 and the Resurrection of Evil add-on pack, as well eight new levels of content named 'The Lost Mission.' This edition will also include the original DOOM and DOOM 2 games, making it the definitive collection of the genre-defining games developed by id Software. It will be released...

0 Skyrim: Dawnguard is out on Steam

This year's QuakeCon is going on right... now. If you haven't seen it yet, there is a Steam sale for all of ID and Bethesda's games. Fallout, Oblivion, Skyrim, Quake, Hexxen everything is lowered in prices. That, and Bethesda is using the time to announce that the DLC for Skyrim, Dawnguard is out now. The vampire-centric add-on should cost $20, and for all i heard it is a lot of money for a DLC that introduces so little. Especially since Skyrim is on sale at the moment for only $25. Ofcourse you can get it via the Steam Sto...

0 Minecon 2012 held at Disneyland, Paris

Thanks to the success of Minecon last year, which took place in Las Vegas, Mojang decided to give it another try. This year they will take Minecon to the wonderful country of France, in one of the biggest and pleasant amusement parks the world has to offer: Disneyland Paris. I was going to say 'France and the city of love' but since it's not in the city nevermind. Plus i don't like most french people, sorry. :( Announcement trailer underneath this line...

0 Bethesda supposedly bought rights Stalker

According to a Ukraine blogger called Galyonkin, claims that Bethesda has bought the rights for the Stalker franchise. Bought from GSC Game World former CEO Sergey Grigorovich. The rumors are coming from Sergey Galyonkin (almost identical names to me), a blogger who previously leaked that Ukraine developer GSC Game World was closing its doors. Rumors say there is already a game going on in Bethesda town. What studio will get the job is something Galyonkin doesn't know. He does know that it isn't a studio from Ukraine, and that it won't use the commonly known X-Ray engine used for all of the Stalker games, but a new one. It will be released...

2 Enjoy this Cryengine 3 Visual Trailer

1 New Planetside 2 screenshots

So yeah, i haven't bothered you much in the last 2 months. But in that time, and before, i'm getting more and more excited about Planetside 2. From time to time i'm still playing the first part which was released in 2003. Lately it was because of the Sony hack which gave me 30 days gametime for every Sony Station game. Unfortunately those were only 2 games, Vanguard and Planetside. But none of the less it gave me some fun game-time. At the GDC (Game Developers Conference) Sony was kind enough to release some screenshots. They made my day. Enjoy these screenshots. ...

0 MMORPG Aion is now free-to-play

Okay its been a while back but i wanted to say that another mmo has opened its doors to the F2P world. The originally subscription based mmo didn't do well so NCsoft did the best thing and made it free. At the moment only the EU version is free-to-play. North-America is still paying for the game, but rumors say that this version will get it's transition to free soon. The originally German publisher Gameforge will have the task of maintaining the servers. They chose to do it for free because the member count dropped so much it wasn't really bringing anything in. Instead of dropping the whole EU version they did the good thing and made it playable...

0 Utility Vehicle Simulator has almost arrived!

0 Cities In Motion for free.

Whats the catch you ask? Complete a survey made by some students and afterwards Paradox Interactive will give you a free copy of Cities in Motion. The survey ends on March 31 and the keys will be send by Paradox Interactive a few weeks after, but in my opinion its worth it. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes of thinking and answering. To be honest i never played this game. But until we wait for the next Sim City to arrive this is in my opinion a nice way to kill that waiting time. Survey is this w...

0 Whoa. Inactivity here.

So you create a blog with gaming news, get connected to some people and all of a sudden stop with it. Yep, that's what happened. From having time almost every day my life completely turned around and now working 50 to 60 hours a week. It's fun but hard, and thanks to that i did have to give up on this blog a while. Shame, since i had people returning all the time. My play is to keep this blog going with news, although i won't be bringing it every day. This was a fun side project and certainly going to keep it. Godspeed, and please enjoy the things i wri...

4 GSC continues on Stalker 2 development

So i did mentioned lately that GSC was bankrupt and closed down. Right after that a message appeared saying that Stalker 2 still had a very big chance to be still released. The Ukraine based developer has now announced that the development of Stalker 2 will be continued after the holidays. In Ukrain Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January, so most of the company's will hold everything on hold on those 2 weeks, meaning the GSC developers can resume their work after that. The future of Stalker 2 became unclear when last december they announced that the owner, Sergei Grigorovich, had closed down the studio. Even though the exact reason was...

3 Tribes Ascend trailer

I. LOVE. Tribes. Seriously. If i have to name one game, and only one that is my all time favorite it would be Tribes. Not only was it awesome and pretty revolutionary at the time it also replaced my childhood. No other game would be that awesome. It had vehicles, you needed teamwork to succeed and you had jetpacks. But maybe the best of all.. you could go ski! No not in the snow, but when holding space you could glide down a hill and get to speed. When having enough speed you could glide back up a hill, activate the jetpack and do all sorts of weird movements across the terrain to avoid enemy's or turrets. Never ever have i been so satisfied...

A first person shooter online multiplayer game (ahh, those terms will never get boring) heavily influenced by Borderlands and Rage. Ravaged is the first game developed by 2 Dawn Games and like said its influenced by Rage and Borderlands. The last one is only single-player and the first has co-op.

Still think its a rip-off? The desert the game takes place in is called......

9 Sequal to Minicraft called MiniTale

Minicraft  He doesn't really need explanation, Markus Persson aka 'Notch'. Aka the creator of Minecraft. Wich doesn't need introduction either to be honest. Notch recently gave away his position as lead designer for Minecraft, so he could concentrate on other projects and create new concepts. But first of all he was planning to get a break from it all. A couple of weeks ago there was a game competition called Ludum Dare. The 'dare' is to create a (free) game within 48 hours. Notch was exited about the competition and long before he did announcements. The game he created was called MiniCraft. It's basically a little Minecraft from a...
