]]> 20 Apr 2007 09:41:49 Inago Rage In Inago Rage, players battle hundreds of mechanized enemies at once, donning rocket boots to fight both on the ground and in the air. The game offers 50 frenetic levels, which take place on city rooftops, above gas giants, and in deep space. As players progress, a storyline illustrated in graphic novel format introduces them to elements used in the game's building stage.

Inago Rage allows all gamers to create their own levels, a process once reserved for professional developers and technically proficient mod creators. An integrated arena designer makes building easy with its simple drag-and-drop interface. Players construct levels by arranging architectural elements such as platforms, towers, and skyscapers. They then place markers where enemies and power-ups will appear. Special effects are created through a graphical interface, allowing players to simulate everything from a calm day on an alien world to a storm-charged nebula above a black hole.

Players build in real-time, allowing them to test their creations simply by switching from "build" to "play" mode. The game stores levels in individual files, which are compact enough to be traded in forums or via e-mail.

]]> 04 Jan 2007 05:17:20 Tron 2.0 Twenty years have passed since Kevin Flynn defeated the MCP with the help of his Tron program. In doing so, he also destroyed the technology he'd used to digitize himself. He's long since left ENCOM in the hands of Alan Bradley, who is raising a family of his own.

Now ruthless global corporate powers want to send humans into the digital realm once more in order to control world finances, and only Alan knows the answer to perfecting their faulty code. Alan encrypted his secrets in time to prevent their theft, but now he's been kidnapped, and the search for the code is on.

You enter the fray as Jet Bradley, Alan's brilliant but rebellious son, who finds himself enlisted by Ma3a to fight the now viral corporate security officer within the digital realm and prevent global domination.

The Tron series of games are based upon the 1982 Walt Disney movie of the same name, beginning with a Tron arcade game and arcade sequel. Tron 2.0 is the first game of the series to be produced for the PC, and subsequently was released for Mac. A related title, "Tron 2: Killer App" was later released for the Xbox, but with significantly altered content.

Additional Game Features:

  • Single player campaign entirely in the digital realm (excepting some cutscenes) immersing you into story-driven, first-person action.

  • As Jet Bradley you will combat digital opponents using guns, rods, grenades, missiles, and the iconic TRON disc, gaining abilities and new weapons as you overcome various challenges to go deeper into the system.

  • Defrag and disinfect your inventory or live with the unpleasant consequences (You're in a computer after all!)

  • Intense action, intense and deadly battles, and the trademark high-speed light cycle races, featuring a new light cycle design by Syd Mead, who developed the cycles for the original film.

  • Musical score by Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film score.

  • Vocal performers include Bruce Boxleitner, Rebecca Romijn, Ken Boynton, Cindy Morgan and many more, and featuring Jason Cottle as the voice of Jet Bradley.

]]> 22 Dec 2006 09:51:54 Postal 2 Notice: Not suitable for children

It's always funny until someone gets hurt... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!

In the second game of the series, you are "the dude", living in a shabby trailer on the edge of the town of Paradise with a significant other whose nagging is just one of the many reasons you might just go over the edge.

Each day you leave home with a list of chores, and day one finds you heading to the office to pick up your check, but a pink slip awaits, as the game continues to urge you to cross the line.

Unlike the 1997 Postal however, in this game you can choose not to let things push you over the edge, instead following a pacifistic route, though you are certain to witness mass carnage either way.


Additional Game Features:

  • Walk a week in the Postal Dude's shoes.

  • Freely explore full 3-D open-ended environments.

  • Interact with over 100 unique NPC's including Gary Coleman, marching bands, dogs, cats and elephants, protesters, policemen and civilians, with or without weapons.

  • Accessible map of town shows all main locations.

  • HUD displays current weapon and available ammo, inventory button displaying current selected item, and health status.

  • Arsenal includes a pistol, shotgun, fully automatic rifle, gasoline can, Molotov cocktails, frag grenades, rockets and more.

  • POSTAL 2 is all about choice; experiment with everyone and everything.

  • Originally a complete single player game, various multiplayer modes were later added in the "Share the Pain" edition.

  • Powered by the Unreal 2.0 engine.

  • The "1337" patch reduced long load times, and added levels, such as "Tora Bora Cave" where the dude comes across Osama Bin Laden in the course of his search for weapons of mass destruction.

]]> 21 Dec 2006 12:16:09 Halo 2 Halo 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie Studios. Released for the Xbox game console on November 9, 2004, the game is a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed blockbuster Halo: Combat Evolved.

]]> 19 Dec 2006 02:18:15 Kingpin: Life of Crime In Kingpin you start out with nothing but a bruising from the henchmen of the local crime boss. After that it's all about revenge, and surviving the roughest parts of a gritty urban environment that has elements of a historical past, but never quite existed.

As you work your way up you win the respect of those you need to help you, as well as do what it takes to acquire the wealth needed to keep rising through the ranks until you're the top dog. Among other things, cash is useful at the "pawn-o-matic" found in each chapter as a means to purchase weapons and ammunition.

The game is bloody, vulgar and relentlessly violent, and has received criticism over this. When installing, you can opt for a reduced level of violence and swearing, although that seems contrary to the inevitable objectives of the game.


The game features nine deadly weapons ranging from lead pipes and pistols to grenade launchers, bazookas and flamethrowers. Multi-player support is provided for both LAN and Internet and offers customizable pre-game options such as time limits, flag limits (maximum death toll) and a cash limit. Up to 16 players can bully and bludgeon their way through an online game at any given time.

Also featured are soundtrack music by Cypress Hill, clever level layouts, an intuitive and fully customizable gui, "area specific damage" to characters, blood, and a gritty, urban ghetto feel through carefully crafted and performed dialogue, sound effects and the artful use of haze and custom textures to achieve the best possible looks the Quake 2 engine could produce at that time.

Developed by Xatrix Entertainment on the Quake II engine, Kingpin: Life of Crime was published on June 30, 1999 by Interplay.

System requirements: 233MHz Processor, 64Mb RAM, OpenGL 3D Graphics card
]]> 14 Dec 2006 08:46:21 Heretic Raven Software teamed up with Id Software for the second time in its creation of the hit fantasy action game Heretic. Based on a modified DooM engine, Heretic pioneered a revolutionary new inventory system for character item use that has become commonplace in the FPS genre. Id Software published the game under its flag and it was distributed by GT Interactive.

Players took the role of Corvus, an Elven hero whose race was nearly eliminated by a horde of evil monsters from another dimension. The first episode of Heretic was released as Shareware as a precursor to the full version of the game, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.

Heretic won several awards for excellence, appeared in such notable publications as USA Today and Playboy, and opened many new doors in the computer gaming software industry for Raven Software and its team of developers. Heretic was Raven Software's most popular, highest acclaimed, biggest selling game to that point.
