Okay, I’m sure there are a lot of you that are waiting for this military sim game that is focused on Multiplayer. And why you wouldn’t? Red Orcheastra 2 looks awesome and has some great and unique ideas.

PC gamers, here is the Top 10 UK PC Chart of last week. There is really nothing extraordinary, apart from the return of both Fable III and Civilization V. Both Starcraft 2 and Shogun 2 on the other hand lost some places and didn’t make it in this week’s Top10. The first five games are the same as last week’s and seems that nothing will be able to top The Sims series. Well, at least when it comes to retail sales. Enjoy the chart after the jump.

Trackmania 2 was never a realistic racing game so save yourselves the trouble of complaining about the drifting. This racer is all about fun and on top of that, it looks incredible. Enjoy the trailer after the jump! Continue reading Trackmania 2 – Incredible Gameplay Trailer→
We were really caught off guard by Flying Wild Hog’s first-person shooter. Not only, it’s an old-school FPS that goes against the flow of modern-day’s games, but it’s also one of the most optimized titles we’ve ever played. Hard Reset is a truly PC game, in every possible way and takes advantage of both multicores and SLI/Crossfire. And let us tell you that the scaling is phenomenal. Normally, this would be the first part of our performance analysis – since we are playing a preview build, but Hard Reset is so polished and optimized that there is honestly no need for any other, future analysis.

We already know that the gaming industry is basically just a business these days and nothing more. We also know that publishers often interfere with their games’ development and most of the times, this is not a good sign. So after Arthur Bruno’s interview with RockPaperShotgun, a fan went ahead and complained at Crate’s forum. This is natural, everyone does it. What surprised us though was a post from Crate’s designer, Medierra, in which he claimed that Titan Quest was designed so that the grandmother of the higher-ups – and basically all of our grandmothers – would want to play it. Continue reading Titan Quest was designed so that our grandmothers would want to play it→
We are pretty sure that most of you won’t know who Team Psykskallar are. Well, did you by any chance play the Afraid of Monsters: Director’s Cut or Resident Evil: Cold Blood mods for Half Life? No? Pitty. Team Psykskallar were the creators behind those fascinating mods and they are currently hard at work with their latest TC – total modification – for Valve’s legendary FPS. Continue reading 7 minutes video of Cry of Fear; A horror TC for Half Life→

I know, there have been a lot of live action films today and you’re most probably already bored. But hear me out, this is perhaps the most ‘true to the spirit of the game’ live action movie. As the title suggests, it’s based on L.A. Noire and has everything, from the facial expressions to the rotating system for the clues. Even the running/walking animations are similar. The movie is written and directed by Ryan Mitts, edited by Cliff Lloret and was made available today. Well done guys! Continue reading L.A. Noire Live Action – Justice Unfiltered→
