Trek-ing
I love the Star Trek universe, its space-time continuum and its stories. Now I look forward to play its games. There have been many ST games released in the past (ST: Voyager Elite Force is highly rated); but I haven’t played any(I am eyeing many good deals on amazon). While we were watching Deep Space Nine few weeks ago, I often dreamt of participating in the narrative. Hopefully the new games that Bethesda Softworks are working on will provide me of the opportunity.
Bethesda is of course responsible for ElderScrolls4:Oblivion.
Here are some sceencaps.
This game is due to come out in september, for the PC and xbox360.
Lord or Empereur
I got Age of Empires 3 today. The price was right. Thanks to this deals and bargains site.
Now, I need a character name. I think Empereur Guerrier is too beligerent. Kaiser Dig might be right.
Here is a link to a forum that usually cool mods and others user-contributed items.
Scorpion vs. Ryu
Proxicide, world-(wide-web) famous flash animator, has release Mortal Kombat versus Street Fighter 2 (Scorpion vs. Ryu Hoshi) via Joystiq.
Here is the first animation and an interview.
This is the stuff of a Remx and Free Culture.
good for me
Microsoft and Ensemble Studios just released a demo of Age of Empires III. Now, AoE2 is one of the best real time strategy games out there. It features players competing as 13 different civilizations by getting resources, progressing a technological line, raising armies/navies, battling and ultimately, trying to conqueror one’s enemies. Mac-users go here. Well, AoE3 uses a gorgeous, brand new game engine. The game itself seems to be a mix between Aoe2(resources,technology timeline and battle) and Conquest of the New World(‘Home City‘, colonization, more Native American tribes).
I don’t need Steven Johnson to encourage me to play. I just don’t have the time. Now that the art season is in full engagement, time to play is dwindling. Plus there is the issue of the minimum requirement of contemporary games. Nowadays a fancy 3D video card is required. AoE3 will not be an exception. I am not a fan of first-person shooters, but i do want to play Doom3, Half-Life2. Those two games, features awesome game environments, are now the yard stick for hardware requirements. Even The Sims2 is dependent on some decent hardware. The good thing though, is that a good platform to play games is also a good platform to do multimedia works like video and surround sound audio projects. So a computer upgrade is in my future.
