Duty Calls CoD Parody Is Free PC Game Download / Bulletstorm Advert
- BERJAYA 19 Comments
Duty Calls is a free PC shooter put out by the folks behind Bulletstorm. The game is a parody of Call of Duty, and continues to put forth the message that Bulletstorm is not your average rinse and repeat franchise.

The "game" is pretty funny. If you have some time to kill then you may want to check it out, but don't expect some awesome shooter that you'll be playing for months to come. It's more about the jokes and Bulletstorm pimpage than actual gameplay. When you exit the game it plays a Bulletstorm trailer.

I hopped in for a look, here's a six-pack of images.

Derek Smart's 3000AD Working On Free-To-Play MMO
- BERJAYA 16 Comments
Florida-based developer 3000AD has announced a new free-to-play MMO called Line of Defense, scheduled for PC release at the end of 2011. Derek Smart, founder, president and lead developer of 3000AD is also president of Quest Online, best known for Alganon. 3000AD is, according to Gamasutra, partnering with Quest Online to provide "Line of Defense's" network backend.

The game takes place in the same universe as the studio's All Aspects Warfare and will focus on player-versus-player combat in an open and persistent game world. 3000AD says that while its engine and tech support player-versus-environment elements, it will explore integrating PVE content after the MMO's release.

Line of Defense's gameplay will consist of "two opposing sides fighting for control of military bases across various continents on contested planets and space regions."

Players take on the role of an infantry marine with access to "various weapons of mass destruction," land and naval vehicles, and aircrafts and gunships.

Dragon Age 2 PC DRM Detailed
- BERJAYA 9 Comments
BioWare has outlined how DRM will work with Dragon Age 2, in the hope of alleviating some of the community concerns. Looks like people can relax, it's not overly harsh. Here's the dilly-dally:

Steam versions use Steam DRM, no other DRM is added.

Non-Steam versions (digital or retail disc) are as follows:

  • No disc check, you do not need the disc in drive to play.
  • No limit on the total number of PCs you can install and play the game on.
  • There is a limit to the number of unique/different PCs that can start/play the game within a time window [5 PCs in 24hrs].
  • Each install requires logging in to your EA account to verify game ownership and if you are a member of these forums, you have an EA account.
  • You can play offline but the game will require a login check after a select period of days.

Release Control (does not use securom)

  • It does not install anything to the PC.
  • Sole purpose is to check with a server to validate whether the game release date has passed or not.
  • It completely removes itself after the game release date has passed.
  • You will not be able to play until that date has passed.
  • Dates & times are set to the retail street date per country.

Darkspore Hero Spotlight: Andromeda
- BERJAYA 2 Comments
This new trailer from Maxis showcases the abilities of the gravitic war master Andromeda in their upcoming action RPG Darkspore. Andromeda is a Tempest Class hero and one of the more than 25 characters that gamers will be able to collect, upgrade and customize in the game.

Andromeda's arsenal of abilities includes:

  • Force Pulse - a ranged attack that knocks an enemy back several feet. The attack requires a recharge time, so it must be used strategically.
  • Gravity Storm – flings enemies into the air and immobilizes them before slamming them to the ground, dealing a significant amount of damage. This ability is especially useful in co-operative multiplayer, as friends can attack enemies immobilized by Gravity Storm.
  • Time Bubble - selectively distorts time and slows both enemies and projectiles
  • Repulsion Sphere - redirects enemy blasts

Short DCS: A-10C Beta 5 Teaser Gun Run By Producer Matt Wagner

Eagle Dynamics Producer Matt Wagner sent over a short little clip of him doing a low altitude gun run on a T-72 battle tank in the currently in beta DCS: A-10C. I gave him a challenge to which he hasn't responded yet specifically stating that I'd like to see him pull some low altitude gun runs while also dealing with anti-air threats. Is he a bad enough dude to pull it off? Guess we'll see!

It is worth noting though that his video was made with an internal build of the soon to be released Beta 5 update. In it are the new GAU-8 cannon sounds that fans have been clamoring for. The cannon lag issue as seen in my recent coverage seems to be fixed as well, his gun run was smooth as butter.

The Stardock Game Roadmap 2011
- BERJAYA 0 Comments
In the Elemental: War of Magic forum, Stardock's Brad Wardell talks a bit about his upcoming sabbatical and what the company has been up to. Late last year it was decided that Stardock would develop a fantasy strategy game in the Elemental world to follow War of Magic. Elemental: Fallen Enchantress and a third yet-to-be-named title is what they're looking at doing right now.

Fallen Enchantress is a pretty radical departure from War of Magic. Based on what I’m seeing, I suspect most people will prefer that by far to War of Magic but only time will tell. But in any event, we will be making a v1.3 of War of Magic that will be on its own code branch.

On the topic of staffing decisions:

Now, as some people may recall, after War of Magic’s difficult launch, we had to re-evaluate our staffing levels and reorganize. This meant some painful layoffs back last Fall which came from people slated for the RPG title. After War of Magic, it was recognized that the game studio was being run like a hobby and not as an engineering process like our enterprise software unit. This meant we needed to bring in full-time designers and full-time project managers onto the studio. Thus, the second studio team, designated for the Elemental: RPG, got largely zapped. This year we will begin to reconstitute this team as we bring in a lead studio developer and some senior developers to help ensure that we don’t have another War of Magic episode.

On the topic of Wardell's sabbatical:

As some people may remember, I was planning to take a sabbatical last year. Clearly that didn’t happen. I am still planning to do this sometime early this year. With Kael and Jon Shafer here now, I am comfortable that the games unit won’t need me to intervene...

Crimecraft: Bleedout Episode 6 Out Soon
- BERJAYA 0 Comments
Vogster Entertainment announced today the next major update to their ongoing episodic expansion to their third-person shotter MMO, CrimeCraft: BLEEDOUT.

The expansion puts into place a background story for Sunrise City, the game's gang-infested near-future metropolis setting. When the game first launched in 2009, all it had was a crime theme with no back story to it. The idea was to leave it open for the players to develop their own stories but the community wanted an official story. In Bleedout, Vogster finally supplies the whys and wherefores of the game world.

In Episode 6: THE ACHILLES HELIX, premiering Saturday February 5th, the secret behind the world's collapse begins to unravel. Written by Mike Kennedy (Star Wars, Superman, Alien vs Predator) and featuring artwork by comic book veteran Gary Erskine (Dan Dare, Star Wars, Terminator, Transformers), Episode 6: THE ACHILLES HELIX takes players deep into the secret labs of the Sons of Liberty, where deadly experiments threaten to blow the lid off of a dangerous secret agenda.

- BERJAYA 7 Comments
Aeria Games has announced the start of Closed Beta registration for its upcoming DotA-inspired multiplayer title, Realm of the Titans (ROTT).

Realm of the Titans is a bold, new take on the popular action strategy genre. In ROTT, two teams of up to five heroes face off on a dangerous and dynamic battlefield in an attempt to take total control of the map.

Players who perform well in battle are awarded points that can be used during the match to upgrade their hero’s powers and abilities. The game is meticulously designed to reward teamwork and tactics, and encourage fluid and fast-paced competitive gameplay.

Apart from offering players dynamic battlefields, enhanced item purchasing, and the return of key DotA features, ROTT also includes:

  • In-Depth Ranking Features – Level up in the game while making your way up the leaderboards by defeating higher-ranked players.
  • Advanced Matchmaking System – In ROTT, you can automatically be matched up with other suitable partners and competitors.

LOTR: War in the North "Black Numenorian" Trailer
- BERJAYA 5 Comments
Warner Brothers has released a trailer and some screenshots featuring the antagonist Agandaûr in their upcoming RPG, Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

A brutal Númenórean, Agandaûr is extremely dangerous on his own, but is even more so due to his orders from Sauron to rally an army strong enough to take down key Elf and Dwarf strongholds. The ultimate goal: attack on all fronts and destabilize the whole of Middle-earth.

The game focuses on events taking place in the northern regions of Middle Earth as a background of the main story in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It will allow you to take control of one of three heroes, with a three-person co-op play feature that will let you team up with the other two.

An exact release date has not been announced but it's supposed to come out sometime in 2011.

They bring with them even more powerful units and abilities to engage on six additional skirmish maps, some of which have random tile generation for unique gameplay.

"With the success of Guardians of Graxia and its first map pack, we're excited to announce the most compelling content update to the game yet,” said Tony Mullins, Associate Producer. “While Flist and Broxin are worthy Guardians to command into battle, winning a game on the new randomly generated tiled maps is sure to put a twist in your previous strategies!"

“Guardians of Graxia now provides even more engaging encounters the community has been waiting for, starting with the Elf and Dwarf races on expansive new maps," said Mathew Anderson, Community Manager at Petroglyph. " Haven't played Guardians of Graxia yet? Give the new demo a try!”

Guardians of Graxia features fantasy turn-based strategic gameplay using cards that are your units and actions, on a tiled map representing floating islands. The PC version combines the best of both online and board game aspects, and contains more than 240 unique units and spells. The game supports a single player campaign and numerous skirmish maps. Currently released are the core game, Map Pack 1, and today's expansion.

Donka donk! I have a strange mystery surrounding a tube of lip balm. It smells like ass! The mystery is... how did it come to smell like anus? Yes, someone could have used it as a butt plug. But would that have been during manufacturing or after? I don't personally know anyone that would stick my lip balm up their poop chute. So is the lip balm naturally stinky? And why do I keep using it when it smells like bungholio? So many questions.
