Brutal Legend in 2009!

This video has gotten me all excited about the game. Looks like good fun! Best of all, the main character is voiced by Jack Black. Nice character animations and solid fun gameplay. Plus, it reminds me of School of Rock!

Red Alert 3 - DRM De-authorization is here!


A major update for Red Alert 3 will be released today! You should get the auto-patch notification when you login online with C&C Red Alert 3 later today. Or you can always grab it from commandandconquer.com tomorrow. Patch up your game and say bye bye to all DRM-install-limit worries!

Here are the major highlights:

1) DRM De-authorization - if you've maxed out at 5 machines, you can easily de-authorize any installation in-game with a few simple clicks. You won't have to worry about going through any special websites or requests, we're giving you the power in-game.

2) Balance exploit fix – Added capture delay on Engineers

3) Balancing Allies vs. Empire of the Rising Sun - Specifically tuning Allied aircraft rush against Rising Sun

4) Added the ability to see player’s stats in the online lobby

5) Added Co-op lobbies - so you can easily find your next best-friend-co-Commander

6) Official Release of Red Alert 3 Worldbuilder - will be available for direct download on our website, you must be updated to 1.05

7) A critical list of balance and technical changes

[UPDATE]
DRM Deauthorization is available in both the launcher and Options menu in-game. Clicking the "Deauthorize" button will deauthorize the computer from playing Red Alert 3, allowing players to run the game on a different computer. Restarting the game on the original computer will reauthorize Red Alert 3 on that machine.

Dead Space Demo Incoming!



Its better late than never, for those who still can't decide if Dead Space is for you, you can now download the free demo off the Xbox Live Marketplace. It should also be released on the PlayStation Network this week for PS3 owners. Now's your chance to find out what all the buzz is about with Dead Space!

Now for the pitch: Download the Dead Space™ Dismemberment Demo (its only 382MB!) to get a taste of the most intense game experience of the year! As Engineer Isaac Clarke, strategically dismember the Necromorph hordes as you carve a bloody path to survival.

[UPDATE]
Just downloaded the demo out of curiosity, wondering why it weighed in at a measly 380MB. My verdict: Its the leanest and meanest demo I've played. It's an excellent showcase of what Dead Space is about, and now I know why its called the "Dismemberment Demo". Make sure you get to the end of the demo for a nice, gruesome ending.

Loads of DLCs for Dead Space available now!

For Xbox owners, you can start downloading loads of new content to make your life on the Ishimura easier, from powered up weapons to exclusive new suits. As for PS3 owners, you'll have to wait a bit longer for it to start appearing on PSN from 20th Nov. onwards.

My personal fave would be this powerful suit with unitology writing on the back:

Burnout Paradise heads 'Back to the Future'

The guys at Criterion Games have been rolling out a wonderful lineup of free DLCs so far, this next paid DLC coming in 2009 has really gotten me excited! It includes some of the most incredible cars in a Burnout game yet!

Enter the Jansen 88 Special, a 1980’s styled silver sports car is based on the fan-favourite Jansen P12, with a few special mods:

1. Fill the gauge and hit boost to trigger burning flame trails from your back wheels!
2. Hit L3 to switch to hover mode, the wheels retract and the car takes off and hovers through Paradise City at head height.

This will be the first of 4 cars to be released in 2009. In addition to the Jansen 88 Special, look out for the Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk.




This will surely make Marty McFly proud Smile

Who wants Left 4 Dead?

This title is getting more and more promising by the day. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on this one for my Xbox 360 for some kick-ass 4 player co-op zombie mashing action. Its a dream come true for zombie fanboys like myself. 18 November is the date to look out for. Can't wait!

Dominate like David!

 What better man to sell Red Alert 3 than the Hoffman himself? Haven't had so much fun on a website in a long time. I'm a fan of David Hasselhoff all over again. When you're there, don't forget to watch the 4 cheesy videos and play around with the voice sequencer. Cool
