Rage - iD software - E3 2008

Posted by Akiraman on July 26, 2008

iD Software first new Game IP with EA publishing it and I am really impressed with it, also its is said to be a less-action gore fest like previous iD games and will feature racing, adventure and RPG elements here and there, which sparked my interest already. What is even more impressive is that the game runs on Mac, PC, PS3 and xbox 360 flawlessly. The game is built on OpenGL which is quite impressive.

Rage is the first iD game to be developed fully in house and I am looking forward to see how they will work out the gameplay to make it interesting. Check out the tech demo links to see the iD Tech 5 engine in action.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm PS3 Demo

Posted by Akiraman on July 20, 2008

Looks like a trailer and a demo for the next instalment of Naruto fighting games have hit US PSN store. This game looks much better than the xbox360 "Rise of a Ninja counterpart". The characters backgrounds and environments retain close likeness to the anime. Check out the HD videos here at eyevio, PS3 Navi and Gamersyde. According to some websites you can select Japanese voices in the demo. Game comes out Fall 2008

The Last Guy - Gameplay Trailer E3 2008

Posted by Akiraman on July 19, 2008

Rembered the funny The Last Guy Preview? Well here is some offcial gameplay footage, released on the JP PLAYSTATION offcial site. This is a PSN game due out [2008/7/25] and [2008/7/29] I assume its an expansion. The gameplay seems like you have to rescue people from zombie monsters, it also seems to support Google earth technology which is used to render the top down map where the player will play. A really "wicked" game I might say. Gamersyde has nice High res footage for download if you can’t view it on the official site.

ACER Predator

Posted by Akiraman on July 14, 2008

Acer Predator 1

Looks like this can take on the HP BLACKBIRD. Its on the prowl. No street pricing announced yet, it does look like a transformer or maybe a gundam?? Expected launch Q3 / Q4 2008. The only thing I am intrigued by is the hot swappable SATA drives, this could be the ultimate 3d Rig workstation, but of course you will need have the software to harness its power.

Video was recorded from the 2008 Taipei PC show. Acer Predator [site here]
