Lindsey Stirling & Peter Hollens made a lovely cover for Skyrim’s theme, in which Lindsey played the violin while Peter made all the vocals for it. Yeap, that’s right. This is a cover with one violin and one voice. The result is great and it certainly deserves your attention. Bill Hare mixed the clip, whereas Ben Lieberman edited it. Those interested can also download this theme from here. Enjoy! Continue reading Lovely Skyrim theme cover by Lindsey Stirling & Peter Hollens→
Fireandicemc.com is a group of people dedicated to recreating the world of Westeros, made popular by the Game of Thrones HBO show and book series, out of blocks in the game Minecraft.

We always liked Bugbear’s games. FlatOut was a great arcade racing series and run flawlessly in a lot of PC system configurations. Naturally, we thought that Ridge Racer: Unbounded would live up to the standards that were set by the Finish studio. Sadly though, what we have in our hands is a shoddy console port of a really promising game. Not only, that, but Ridge Racer: Unbounded suffers from all the flaws and issues that plagued the entire FlatOut series. Yes, there is rubber band and yes the controls are a mess, especially if you try to play the game with the keyboard, something that was no issue with the FlatOut games.

As we informed you two days ago, Markus ‘Notch’ Persson and his team have been preparing a new game. This game got a name and will be called ‘0x10c’. Think of it as a Firefly/Elite Hybrid Space Sim. The game is still extremely early in development, but like they did with Minecraft, they expect to release it early and let the players help them shape the game as it grows. Now I don’t know if this will have the same impact as Minecraft, especially with all those Kickstarters campaigns that started appearing the previous weeks. Moreover, the cost of the game is still undecided, but it’s likely there will be a monthly fee for joining the Multiverse as they are going to emulate all computers and physics even when players aren’t logged in. Monthly fee and beta phase in which gamers have to pay to gain access? Ouch. Continue reading Markus ‘Notch’ Persson’s new game is called ‘0x10c’ and will be a Firefly/Elite Hybrid Space Sim→
