]]> 25 Nov 2006 04:10:36 BioShock
The idealistic surroundings and grim reality are constantly at odds.

Often touted as the "Spiritual successor to System Shock 2", BioShock is a long awaited fps in development by Irrational Games, with lead designer Ken Levine promising to advance the definition of first person shooters.

As a likely 2007 release grows closer more screenshots and trailers are being released, and one thing that's apparent is a gorgeous environment, seemingly inspired in great part by the art deco period of the last century.

Game overview and features as reported at the official site
BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.


Features:

  • Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
  • Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.
  • Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.
  • Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.
  • Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.
  • Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

Developer: Irrational Games
Publisher: 2K Games
Released: currently targeted for August 2007 release!

System Requirements
To be announced.

In motion, the water effects are truly amazing. In fact, Irrational has someone on staff whose sole job is to handle water effects - everything from the fountains and ripples to the distortion of the fish beneath the surface.

    ]]>     02 Dec 2006 05:17:22     Echoes Echoes is sort of a blend between Asteroids and Geometry Wars. Like in the classic Asteroids you control a space ship floating around somewhere in space, trying to stay alive while asteroids are flung around. But unlike Asteroids, Echoes has some extras.

    Instead of just small and large asteroids, there are four asteroid sizes (ranging from mini to enourmous) comets, meteor storms, asteroid belts, planets (with moons), black holes and the sun. There are also both energy and weapon power-ups.

    ]]>     05 Mar 2007 06:00:05     Max Payne
    PC Gamer said,
    Story is the bedrock of Max Payne. Yeah, it's chock full of mind-blowing gunplay, but at every turn, a new and clever piece of noir storytelling will motivate you forward and illuminate the action.

    Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. In the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard Max is a fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for the pain...

    The game immerses us in a dark world, aptly propelled forward by a graphic novel complete with narration in the classic style of detective film noir.


    Additional Game Features:

    • The first PC game with photo-digitized textures, radiosity lighting and hardwaret T&L combined.

    • Another first in gaming is a unique utilization of "bullet-time gameplay" in which the player can briefly enter a slow motion world of quickened reflexes to get an edge in the fierce shootouts.

    • Auto-adjusting gameplay means the action will be challenging and intense without becoming unfair and frustrating.

    • Easiest-to-use game editor ever released, with WYSIWYG-style editing (PC version only). Even recreate your house or workplace!

    • Painstaking attention to detail. Bullets even modeled accurately resulting in realistic and cinematic gameplay. Everything is destructible and comes apart realistically.

    • MAX-FX engine is built from the ground up to take full advantage of 3D acceleration. There is no software renderer in the game. MAX-FX is fully optimized for PIII's SSE instruction set.

    • Single Player only. Game completion unlocks special modes.

Your mission was to infiltrate the Nazi fortress Castle Hollehammer and find the plans for Operation Eisenfaust, the Nazi's blueprint for building the perfect army. Rumors are that deep within the castle the diabolical Dr. Schabbs has perfected a technique for building a fierce army from the bodies of the dead. It's so far removed from reality that it would seem silly if it wasn't so sick. But what if it were true?

    As an escaped prisoner in a Nazi war prison, you will move smoothly through a 3D world full of amazing detail and animation. Unlike other 3D games, you'll run through a sensational and realistic 3-D environment, with intelligent moving guards and opponents.

The often- delayed title was once shrugged off as vaporware, but when it finally arrived in 1997 it delivered console gamers something that only PC owners had enjoyed previously: a remarkably fun, innovative, intuitively controlled shooter complete with pretty graphics and an outstanding multiplayer mode to boot. The title went from sleeper hit to one of Nintendo 64's biggest success stories in no time, and continued to sell throughout the console's entire lifespan. Even today, it remains a benchmark for console first-person shooters and serves as an inspiration for developers.

    ]]>     25 Nov 2006 05:09:14     American McGee's Alice Based upon characters and elements of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", this 3rd person adventure contains elements of platform jumpers, shooters, action and puzzle games, all in a highly stylized and colorful world of fantasy.

    Years have passed since Alice's trip through the looking glass. After surviving the fire that killed her parents, Alice is driven by despair into a catatonic state and institutionalized. The famed Cheshire Cat is teenaged Alice's constant companion as she finds herself once again in Wonderland.

    The land is not as she had left it though, more twisted than ever, and her journey reflects that of the depressed, anxious, even suicidal girl battling for sanity and balance once more as she fights to overthrow the cruel Red Queen and put things right.

    Alice's arsenal includes an exploding Jack-in-the-Box, nasty dice, an ice wand, and much more.

    Powered by the Quake III engine, Alice was designed by American McGee, developed by Rogue Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, who released the game in October, 2000. It is of possible interest that American McGee's site no longer holds reference to the game.

    The game features a soundtrack composed by former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna. The voice of Alice was performed by Susie Brann.

    The related Universal Pictures film "Alice", starring Sarah Gellar in the title role is apparently set for release to coincide with the publication of Duke Nukem Forever.

    It is very much unfinished. There is only one level and after you beat the boss it will go back to the title screen.

    Axion is a 4 colour (greyscale) shoot'em up made for the Retro Remakes 4-colour TI calculator style competition.

    Story

    Thousands of years ago the Atlantians built a huge inter-dimensional portal with the intent of trapping a huge foe inside. The portal worked perfectly, but at the last minute the huge beast was able to pull their entire city in with it. Knowing the they were unable to save the city and that the beast would eventually be able to break free without anyone able to watch over it, they sent out their last hope, Axion.

    Axion was a specially designed craft known as a "Dimension diver" which made it the only man-made creation that was able to seemlesly escape the pull of the triangular portal.

    Thousands of years later after absorbing much of its surroundings including people, ships and planes, the beast was able to take control of its own prision, although it was still not quite powerful enough to escape entirely. Using all the energy it had absorbed over the many years, the beast took control of the portal and projected it into outer space using mankind's own orbiting satillites. The portal was now 50 times its original size, big enough to engulf the entire planet...and this was the plan. If the beast could absorb the entire planet, then it would have enough energy to break free from its Atlantian prision.

    After detecting the huge power surge, Axion emerged out of the ocean and blasted off into outer space to stop the beast before it was too late.

    ]]>     11 Dec 2006 06:03:40     Beast Invaders 3 Beast Invaders 3 is the follow up to ...wait for it... Beast Invaders 2.

    Beast Invaders 3 is a vertical scrolling shooter that see's you taking on the mighty sheepy hordes and their wealth of heavy artillery. No sheep are harmed in the making of or during this game.

    Contains bullet hell style mayhem and curry.

    Sadly, the entire development of this game was plagued by more trouble than is humanly believable, but being a determined muppet that I am, despite 1 computer biting the dust and a serious illness inbetween I've managed to cobble something together out of the sprawling mess. Mainly in 48 hours.

    So, its not quite the game I wanted it to be, so keep an eye out for v2 soon.

    ]]>     22 Jun 2007 12:41:51     HeXeN Raven Software's HeXen actually began development as an expansion for Heretic that was originally slated to hit the shelves as "Heretic II." However, the game design so expanded beyond the original game that this proposed the expansion of the Heretic universe took on a bold new identity of its own...HeXen: Beyond Heretic.

    HeXen was developed over a period of 8 months, published by Id Software and distributed by GT Interactive in 1995. The game introduced the 3-D gaming world to the "hub system" of level progression, rotating polygonal brushes and multiple character classes that were available in both single player and multiplayer. All of this combined to help HeXen raise the bar for the first-person shooter genre. HeXen pushed Id Software's DooM engine to its absolute limits and surpassed Heretic as Raven Software's most popular, highly acclaimed title.

    The success of HeXen prompted a mission pack, Deathkings of the Dark Citadel, and several ports to home console gaming systems including the Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64 and the Sony PlayStation. HeXen also became the first Raven Software game made available for the Macintosh.

    ]]>     13 Dec 2006 01:40:26     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.

    ]]>     13 Dec 2006 01:18:12     Starfox 64 Fox McCloud, son of James McCloud, will follow in his father's footsteps as the leader of team starfox. His wingmates, Peppy the Hare, Falco Lombardi, and Peppy Toad will fly by his side, aiding him in the fight against an evil dictator trying to control the Lylat System, and it's capital: Corneria.

    Starfox 64 was a legend in it's time. And is still regarded today as the best Starfox game to date. The game featured multiple campaign paths to choose from depending on your skill and what secrets you unlock along the way, and wingmates that seemed almost real to you. Starfox 64 is a gem, and still fun to play today.

    Shellcore is a simple tank game made in Torque Game Builder. You control the tank with "w", "a", "s" and "d" and fire shells with the left mouse button. The right mouse button fires the machine gun which is good for destroying RPGs before they hit your tank.

    The point of the game is to get the highscore. Challenge your friends and enemies to beat your score. If they are unable, point and laugh at them.

    I made Shellcore in order to get acquainted with the new Torque Game Builder. It is currently in beta stages.

    Just have a little fun with the game . . . I also appreciate suggestions.


    ---The Esteemed Creator of Shellcore
