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...
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...
Calculator video camera
I remember the time in high school when calculators only functioned as those dumb 12-digit arithmetic machines good for typing S8008 then flipping the thing over. Well, that was until we got hold of graphing calculators which we hacked and programmed to be our ultimate geektool. Yup, we even used it for our Christian morality classes. Hehehe. Anyway, now I just wish we had this baby back then – the Calculator Video Camera. It is...
Midway releases new Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe screenshot and trailer
In my opinion, fighting game cross-overs are so Capcom. I liked them while they lasted. Street Fighter IV is probably the next big fighting game and this latest cross-over by Midway doesn’t seem to appeal to any more than your daily celebrity bikini photo post. To answer Ace’s question as to whether this MK vs DCU game is a good idea or not, I say, it’s a hell of a bad idea. For one, the franchise just bastardizes...
Stephen Fry loves his pink DS Lite
I guess it’s time to dish out some more magic into this thing. Sheesh, crappy average blog postings per month and we’re supposed to be committed to bring you nothing but the best in everything sugoi. For those of you who don’t know who Stephen Fry is, stop watching Pinoy Dream Academy and those other brainless Pinoy TV and start watching some British TV. (Yey! Pelt me with stones for being unpatriotic. Come on, PDA...
