Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Merdeka — Tue, 23 May 2006 17:12:12 +0800

EGM Previews Double Agent
from: http://splintercell.3dretreat.com/

EGM emphasizes that SC:DA "ditches the dark" since Sam Fisher does not have his trademark headgear for a significant portion of the game. The article says that there was a lot of great texture art in Chaos Theory, but most gamers couldn't see it because the game was so dark! In SC:DA, you will be able to appreciate more brightly lit gorgeous environments.
Settings include swimming in the freezing waters of Iceland, infiltrating a cruise ship in Cozumel, Mexico, witnessing a civil war under the harsh daylight of the African sun in Kinshasa, Congo.
The article summarizes the game nicely saying: "The greatest tension is the notion of choice." There are multiple endings to the game, main characters will die depending on your decisions, and certain missions become playable depending on what path you chose.

I met a friend who when to E3, he tried it and told something abt SC:DA which make me wanna buy the game..spoiler?

Halo 3

Merdeka — Thu, 18 May 2006 12:21:43 +0800

No thread for Halo 3?

Here some news fr cnet.

So maybe Halo 3 will be launch simultaneously with PS3 (Nov 06)..

Time quotes Bill Gates saying that Sony's next-gen console will "walk into" the Xbox 360 follow-up to the best-selling sci-fi shooter.

For months, the Web was rife with rumours that Microsoft would ship the sequel to Halo 2 for the Xbox 360 simultaneously with the launch of the PlayStation 3. Now, that has been confirmed -- by none other than Bill Gates himself.

In this week's issue of Time Magazine -- which features Gates holding the Xbox 360 on the cover -- Gates mentioned plans for the release of the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling console shooter. In a parenthetical sidebar in the article, Time says the following: "Note to the hard-core faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360. It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. 'It's perfect,' Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. 'The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.'"

Gates' comments appear to confirm the theory that Microsoft will release Halo 3 either simultaneously or near the release of Sony's next-gen console. It also marks further official confirmation that a third Halo is indeed in the works and will be released for the Xbox 360.

Although such statements might be interpreted as grandstanding, such a maneuver definitely would have an impact. Halo 2 sold more than 6.5 million copies to date and is credited with doubling the subscriber base of Xbox Live from around 750,000 to more than 1.5 million. It is also credited by industry-watchers as one of the main reasons for boosting sales of the original Xbox last holiday season.
