Dead Space 3

samsk — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:41:12 +0800

Dead Space 3 Takes Place On A Frozen Planet, First Details Inside

Electronic Arts is developing a new Dead Space game. No surprise there, but it doesn’t take place on a spaceship. Dead Space 3 is set on Tau Volantis, an icy planet where Isaac Clarke has to wade through white-out blizzard conditions.

Early in Dead Space 3, Isaac crash lands on the planet. He believes he may be the only survivor and makes his way to an abandoned waystation, which he uses for shelter from the snowstorm. There he finds a survivor who is severely injured. Isaac speaks to the near dead comrade who reveals there are other survivors that trekked off to another facility. One of them is Ellie, a key character from the original Dead Space game. Isaac grabs a snowsuit and heads into the blizzard.

Later in the game, Isaac reunites with Ellie and a new character named Jennifer. The trio scale a mountain, but Jennifer is reluctant to do so. She’s a tech type excited over finding a codex and plans to reverse engineer research by a group called Rosetta to gain access to it. As they climb up the mountain, they hear a howl from below, but cannot spot what kind of creature made the sound.

The enemies in Dead Space 3 are being referred to as "the hive mind."

Blackwater is a first-person shooter with optional support for the Kinect motion-sensing camera which will let you move, aim and fire with totally realistic and accurate movements and gestures.
Set in North Africa, the game takes you along on a mission to quell opposing warlords and militia forces and rescue a UN envoy that has been taken hostage. Just like a real-life Blackwater operative, you must use military tactics and full body gestures to complete high-stakes assignments in some of the most dangerous places on the planet.
With more than 25 different Kinect moves: from shooting to ducking, avoiding enemy ambushes, throwing grenades or protecting VIPs, Blackwater takes virtual combat to the next level.

Rise Of Nightmare (Kinect Horror Game)

samsk — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:18:25 +0800

RISE OF NIGHTMARE..

Way back at Tokyo Game Show, Sega announced Rise of Nightmares was in development as a Kinect enabled game for Xbox 360. The house of House of the Dead said Rise of Nightmares was slated for spring 2011, shared a logo, and we haven’t heard about the horror game since.

Fortunately, the ESRB knows a lot more about Rise of Nightmares. They gave the game a "M" rating and a revealing description.

This is a horror-adventure game in which players assume the role of an American tourist who must rescue his wife from a deranged scientist. From a first-person perspective, players use brass knuckles, knives, hatchets, and chainsaws to kill zombie-like creatures and disfigured monsters inside a mansion environment. Combat is highlighted by exaggerated sprays of blood, and damage often results in dismemberment or decapitation—stray body parts sometimes litter the ground.

Some sequences and cutscenes depict more intense acts of violence: a man screams loudly as spikes impale his body; a restrained character’s hand is chopped off before he is killed; a character (cut in half) crawls away in a pool of blood; a soldier is ripped apart by a monster, causing blood to stain the screen. During the course of the game, some female creatures are depicted in revealing outfits (e.g., ‘pasties’ that partially cover their breasts); in one sequence, a woman sits on the central character’s chest and engages in suggestive dialogue (e.g., ‘Oh, how I’ve thought of this—night after night. How I’ve missed these lips.’). Dialogue also includes phrases such as ‘Best sex of my life.’/'Worst sex of my life,’ ‘f**k,’ and ‘sh*t.’

That’s a bit more brutal than I imagined. More interesting than scenes with chopped off hands is how Rise of Nightmares is played. The ESRB revealed Rise of Nightmares is a first-person perspective game where players use a variety of sharp weapons to kill monsters. Since this is a Kinect game, perhaps players will punch at the screen with (virtual) brass knuckles?

Alice Madness Return

samsk — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:09:57 +0800

Alice Madness return

Madness Returns takes place directly after the events of its predecessor.[5] Alice was released from Rutledge Asylum for the Wayward and Lost Souls at the end of the original game, and now lives in Victorian London under the care of a psychiatrist, where the traumatic memories of her parents' deaths in a fire continue to haunt her. Although she seemed stable for a decade, she now begins to experience previously repressed memories that indicate that the fire which claimed her parents' lives (which in the original game was seen to have been caused by a cat knocking over an oil lamp near the fireplace) may not have been as accidental as she remembered; these memories will take the form of retcons to the existing backstory. However, the stress caused by regaining these lost memories has caused her hallucinations and internal struggle to increase in severity, and she returns to Wonderland in hopes of security and comfort. Unfortunately, it has once again become warped by her growing insanity, and she must save its residents—and herself—from the evil that is taking over Wonderland and also embarks on finding the true cause of her family's mysterious deaths if she wishes to retain her precious sanity.

Characters
New and old characters will be appearing in the game. Alice will be the main protagonist, once again braving the horrors of Wonderland, armed with several unique weapons including her trademark Vorpal Blade; the Gatling gun-like Pepper Grinder; the Hobby Horse, a heavy-hitting melee weapon; the explosive Clockwork Bomb, which can be placed or thrown and then detonated; and the grenade-launching Teapot Cannon.[16] Gameplay footage has shown she can use an umbrella for defence. Alice can wear several dresses which are obtained in each new area of Wonderland.[17]
New characters in Victorian London will appear, influencing Alice's psyche and having connections to her past. These include Doctor Bumby, Alice's London psychiatrist who uses hypnotism in his work; elderly Nurse Witless; Nanny, Alice's childhood nanny turned prostitute[18]; and Radcliffe, a kind, obese lawyer.[19] Doctor Wilson, Alice's psychiatrist during her time in Rutledge Asylum will also appear.
Wonderland will play a prominent part in the game, with its numerous inhabitants corrupted by Alice's madness and other origins. The Cheshire Cat returns as Alice's guide and cluemaster throughout the game, as well as the White Rabbit. The Duchess, now an ally to Alice, sends her on a quest to find pig snouts, which becomes a side-quest throughout the game. The Mad Hatter's steampunk domain has been taken over by the March Hare and Dormouse, who have embraced their automaton bodies and have constructed the Infernal Train, the new manifestation of Alice's inner turmoil.[20] The Dodo will appear as a victim of the March Hare and Dormouse's Industrial Revolution-inspired factory.
The Walrus and the Carpenter appear as antagonists, ruling the Deluded Depths, an underwater realm. The Carpenter acts as a monstrous but eccentric showman, with the Walrus desiring to eat the oyster showgirls.[21] The Mock Turtle appears as the admiral of "HMS Gryphon", named after the Gryphon. The Caterpillar appears in the oriental Mysterious East area, and will transform into a butterfly.[22] The resurrected Queen of Hearts appears, guarded by undead card guards and the scythe-wielding Executioner. Tweedledum and Tweedledee appear in Alice's hallucinations of the asylum. The Insane Children from the first game reappear, fleeing from the Dollmaker, the mastermind behind the Infernal Train.[23]

Shadow of the damned.

samsk — Tue, 31 May 2011 13:14:45 +0800

Shadows of the Damned

With Shadows of the Damned (officially abbreviated to DMD or “Damned”), creative geniuses Suda 51 (No More Heroes 2, Killer 7) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil series and Resident Evil 4, Vanquish, Devil May Cry) present an all-new vision of hell unlike anything seen before!

A psychological action thriller, Shadows of the Damned follows a demon hunter deep into a hyper-twisted re-imagining of hell where he must rescue the love of his life by defeating the armies of darkness with the power of the light.

Garcia is a hard-as-nails, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding professional demon hunter who finds his true love kidnapped by vengeance-seeking demons. As he explores the farthest reaches of the netherworld, Garcia battles through hell and back, with danger and turmoil around every corner. Throughout Shadows of the Damned gamers will find themselves challenged by demented puzzles and thrust into gruesome battles with vile and deformed creatures that can only come from the darkest recesses of hell.

Having the mix of Goichi Suda, Shinji Mikami and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka will go a long way in ensuring that this title is a work of pure creative talent and of the highest quality, with each contributor bringing something unique and interesting to the world they’ve created.

I am somewhat underwhelmed though that they chose to go with the whole “Light and Shadow” concept, complete with having to shoot at light orbs to give yourself a more advantageous atmosphere in which to fight the evil and demonic creatures of the night. Having recently pumped around 50 hours into Metroid Prime 2: Echoes on the Wii (Metroid Prime Trilogy collection version) which features essentially the same exact concept, the Light and Dark theme already feels tired to me. However pumping it up with a punk-rock vibe and adding all kinds of crazy to the standard third-person shooting action may liven it up enough to compensate

The game opens like a grindhouse movie. The developers' names flash across a graveyard followed by "Shadows of the Damned starring Garcia Hotspur." Garcia, an unassumingly Hispanic (he often speaks Spanish, usually bad words) demon hunter that spells an ample amount of time at the gym. His muscles have muscles, and they have tattoos. Sans shirt, Garcia is first seen talking to something he calls a "hellmonkey" but that resemble some type of demonic, bleeding reindeer. Garcia is grilling him (or it) for details about Paula's whereabouts. Rather than answer, the demon warns Garcia that if he strikes him down now, he will become more powerful than he can possibly imagine, or something like that. Unphased by the warning, Garcia shoots the demon in the head.

The credits end and now the player is in control of Garcia, still shirtless. We navigate through Garcia's swanky apartment: wood floors, zebra skin rug, guitars on the walls, and a huge portrait of Paula. Upon opening the bedroom door, I discover Paula, hanging from the ceiling fan, dead. Well, as dead as you can be in this game. Paula momentarily regains life, only to have a humanoid demon rip itself out of her back. Several of these demons burst through the walls and windows. The only way to take them down is via headshot, which will be your choice way to take down enemies throughout the game. Not only do they take down demons in one perfectly executed shot, but they also often come with an over-the-top gory, slow-motion, action scene.

The sequence escalates as an even bigger, more grotesque, eight-eyed demon appears. His name is Flemming, and he's the Lord of the Demons. He's the one who has a problem with Garcia's occupation. He opens a portal and plunges into hell, with a once again living Paula screaming for help. Garcia runs back inside, grabs his purple leather jackets, and jumps in after them.

Understanding light and dark is key to playing through Shadows of the Damned. The darkness, which is actually dark blue and sparkly, is detrimental to your health bar. Once a demon walks through the veil of darkness, they become covered in it, shielding them from attacks. If a demon is blue, punch them in order to shoot them in the face. If darkness is overtaking an area, which it will often try to do, find a goat. Turns out mounted goat heads littered through hell provide light when you shoot them with light bullets. "Everybody knows goats are a source of light." In areas where light is absent, you'll only be able to survive by finding human hearts.

The first few areas involve Johnson, a former demon turned shape-shifting weapon, explaining the ins and outs of the game. Alcohol "un-kills" you and is the source health. Sake is cheaper, but Absinthe gives more HP. Gems are the game's currency. White gems buy drinks from vending machines. Eventually you'll meet Christopher, who claims to be half human and half demon, but there's nothing human about him. He's a friendly though and will act as the store where you will buy ammo, health and red gems. Red gems are used for upgrades and are "performance enhancers; very shady, very illegal," and can be accessed from the select menu to upgrade you guns, you health, your speed, etc. It's an interesting RPG-style addition. Blue gems are the rarest and in the two acts I played, only appeared after a boss battle. If you give a blue gem to Johnson, he'll unlock a new weapon to morph into. The two weapons I unlocked were the teether, which shoots teeth, and the skullcossioner, which shoots skulls.

Next was Act 2. The first few chapters I saw already at GDC involved Garcia looking for Paula through a rundown carnival type area. The demo I saw in March ended right as I was about to face-off with a meaty, decaying, harmonica playing demon named George. In this build, I got to kick his ass, and by kick his ass, I mean manipulate light to disable him and repeatedly shoot him in the head. After I beat his "human form," I learned about his back story in the form of a rated M for Mature storybook. I'm trying to avoid spoilers here so you'll have to play to learn his origin story.

Several rooms, alleyways, and veils of darkness later Garcia is in a graveyard. After all the bizarre things I had seen in this game up to this point, I didn't question why there were graves in hell. Garcia had a few questions though; one of the graves had his name on it. Just as we began to query the situation, darkness poured over the level revealing a mini-boss. The boss was a giant-skull looking demon that was...well, just a head. I panicked, because I didn't know how to beat him, but Johnson gave me the instruction "aim for the head." I laughed.

Every mini-boss and boss (and even some switches) I encountered had an obvious weak point. A red sack appears on the enemies, usually on their backs or bellies. This is their life support. If an enemy has a blue sack, it means you need to be inside the darkness for it to appear red, thus making it vulnerable to bullets/bone/teeth/skulls and whatever bodypart you unlock in the game. Enemies with these sacks have an obvious weakness but figuring out how to access these weakness wasn't always easy.

Finally, understanding how to manipulate light and dark helped for the boss in Chapter 2, George in beast form. I don't want to spoil the boss fight but I will say a few things: 1) The darkness is spread through defecation. 2) There are multiple boss forms, which means multiple ways to defecate. 3) If penis jokes weren't enough for you, now you have poop jokes too. Something for the whole family!

Based on what we've seen so far, Shadows of the Damned walks the line of grindhouse-inspired horror and silly, perverted humor, and it walks it in a purple leather jacket. I'm sure we'll see a bit more from Shadows of the Damned at E3 next month. The game launches on June 21 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII

samsk — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:35:01 +0800

Final Fantasy Versus XIII involves Noctis Lucis Caelum, the last heir to an isolated nation, which holds the last Crystal protected by kings. Its isolation is due to the city's resistance; to protect itself against invading heretics. The game has been said to initiate at the "clearing" of a long cold war between warring nations that revolved around the crystals.
The official trailer starts with the words, "This is a fantasy based on reality." The trailer shows modern technology such as cars, freeways, and automatic weapons and bears a striking resemblance to the real world today.
Very little information regarding the plot of the game has been revealed since E3 2006; however, Square Enix representatives have commented that Versus may be the darkest Final Fantasy game yet.
Screenshots from Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, have revealed a large city reminiscent of Tokyo which showcases a recreation of the real-life Shinjuku, surrounding Square Enix's office, in game. The lead character is seen battling a Behemoth in the dead of night with cars and flames in the distance.

The protagonist of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Noctis is the last heir to the Caelum Dynasty, which rules over the only remaining city-state that controls the Crystals. Noctis attempts to protect his city-state against those who seek to conquer it and take the Crystals by force. Nomura has compared Noctis's family to the modern-day Japanese mafia. The color of his eyes have been shown to change from blue to crimson during battle; according to Nomura, the color changes are both intentional and significant. Noctis's full name is Latin for "Light of the Night Sky," and his nickname is "Noct".
Noctis wields many weapons, ranging from swords, spears, and lances to guns. He controls them with telekinesis (through the power of the Crystal), using them for both attack and defense. Nomura has stated that each weapon has a different usage and is not directly limited by normal standards of attack; for instance, some weapons are also usable as shields. Noctis also has the ability to teleport or to suddenly move at a high speed, though it is unknown what role this skill will have in the actual gameplay.
Noctis's personality is different from other characters in the Final Fantasy franchise and is one that Nomura had wanted to try out for a long time. In the past, protagonists were not given strong personalities while distinctive ones were delegated to the supporting cast, but Nomura states that Noctis's idiosyncrasies mark a departure from this tradition.Although his character is said to be hard to define given his complexities, a good measure of his personality can be sensed from his first meeting with Stella. Noctis hides his shyness underneath a façade of coolness in front of her, which creates a cold and unsociable impression. However, he smiles and acts more openly around his friends, a testament to Nomura's statement that "[Noctis] is not the least bit a silent, gloomy little boy.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

samsk — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:25:23 +0800

Final Fantasy XIII-2

The story of the game takes place directly after Final Fantasy XIII and follows on from the -Episode i- novel which was released with the international version of Final Fantasy XIII.Unlike Final Fantasy X-2, which had a more cheerful and humorous feel than Final Fantasy X, the overall tone of the story of Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be darker and more mysterious than the original. Director Motomu Toriyama said that considering Vanille and Fang are gone and the world is in a state where Cocoon had fallen, there's no way for the new story to be totally peaceful. Yoshinori Kitase, the producer, has said the story will have the serious feel of a true numbered entry in the Final Fantasy series.
The actual story will delve deeper into the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology and this time focus on the goddess Etro. The game will once again feature Lightning as the protagonist. The personality of Lightning will be the same as it was in the original game and not experience a change like Yuna had in Final Fantasy X-2. The game's story will continue to value the refined and noble qualities of Lightning's personality. Other characters will also appear in the game but in new and unexpected forms and some of these returning characters will see major changes to their personality. The game will also have a number of new characters, in addition to the mysterious man shown in the teaser trailer. The mystery man in the teaser trailer is in direct conflict with Lightning and equal to her in strength. Lightning has a new mission this time, and as she attempts to fulfill this mission, she'll end up in a confrontation with this mystery man.
The original game ended with a lingering question: "Is Lightning really happy?" The conclusion of the story in Final Fantasy XIII-2 will provide a clear answer to this question.

In Game Trainer vs Saved Game Modifier

samsk — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 11:47:16 +0800

Hi Guys,

Which one do you guys recommend if you stuck in a game that is very hard and you hope for unlimited health,unlimited ammo & etc. Walk through wont help you either and you almost give up on this game. Forget about gameshark as it is already phased out.

In Game Trainer or Saved Game Modifier?

Example : Dead Space 2, Dead Rising 2.

I read from the forum, Saved game modifier are safer than trainer.

Custom Made TV Cabinet

samsk — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:06:53 +0800

Item that you need :

1. TV Table
2. Industrial Fan x 2 - the one use for computer server rack.. Steel type is more recommended.
3. A power point for the fan
4. Bosch Electrical Saw or Hand Saw.
5. Screw or Hard Wire to hang the fan.

Or Steel plate

Instructions :

1. Cut 2 holes beneath the TV table
2. Mount 2 industrial fan in that hole or mount it on top of steel plate with few holes on it.
3. Place your Xbox 360S or Elite or Arcade or etc on top of it.
4. Turn On the power.

This proven to make the XBOX 360 more cooler because server rack fan are design to cool down the temperature inside the rack contains 3 network switch and 2 HP server. It had more power heat suction because it is using 13Amp socket to power up.. Not using integrated power supply.

You can try custom made your own cooling TV table. I believed this is better than using laptop fan or PC fan .Their fan power is not strong enough because sharing the power from laptop or PC.

This is my idea.. I am going to try it.. i had try put 3 industrial fan beneath my XBOX 360S and the box is very cold. Maybe the next one try the method above.

By the way, i do sell this industrial server rack fan.
