Heretic and Hexen released as open source
Holy sh*t! The age of open source is nigh. And I just hoped that this was the case years ago. Yeah, so I started my computer gaming career more than a decade ago when the best games were Frogger, and, if you’re lucky, Prince of Persia. Then came Wolfenstein 3D and then Doom. Sometime during that era were spin-offs like Heretic and Hexen. I love revisiting my childhood but getting those games always meant having to resort to some...
GTA: Chinatown Wars coming to the Nintendo DS
I still can’t afford getting an HD monitor and an XBox 360 or a PS3 so as far as any Grand Theft Auto action, the last time I got some was playing San Andreas. Since I opted to get myself a Nintendo DS over a PSP, I wasn’t able to touch the Stories games. But all of that will change soon as they have decided a GTA game exclusive for the DS. Dubbed GTA: Chinatown Wars, the game will be set in Liberty City and would involve...
‘Room of King’ to star Hiro Mizushima and Anne Suzuki
Return of the fall season has always been a welcome time for TV junkies. Well, for one, it’s the time when the best shows in the US resume airing. I can’t wait for my favorite TV shows to be back on air again myself. House, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, Life… and I just finished watching episodes 1 and 2 of Prison Break. Damnit! Air them already, why don’t you. For Japan, fall season is also a time for new shows to...
Maguire, Raimi to be back for Spider-Man 4 (and 5?)
Quite honestly, I don’t quite like Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Sure he was able to pull off that dork-turned-hero role nicely but for the last movie, I was disappointed when he agreed to reprise his role. I think Jake Gyllenhaal would’ve made a better Pete. And oh, Kirsten Dunst. Yelch. But I guess Maguire would be the real-world visage of Spider-Man as he is nearing locking an agreement to reprise the role for the next...
British gymnast is new Lara Croft
Okay, this newsbit is more than half a month old but since I’m a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise, I’m giving it a take. I just hate it when some of these newsbits get past me. Tomb Raider is a twelve year-old franchise and Lara Croft has undergone makeovers complete with fluctuating breast sizes. Many a reason for hot-blooded gaming geeks to rave about the game. As far as real-life people portraying Lara Croft go, it has...
