Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
For those of you that remember, a couple of weeks ago my Xbox 360 died. The ring of fires burnt inside and I had to cry. For my time was over, a game over, and I had to speak with the devil himself. I called up the warranty service and low and behold 50 minutes later a box was one its way. This is the story of a box and how it changed my life forever…

I’m thrilled to anounce that Bungie has heard the cries of gamers from around the world! It appears as though online co-op with 4 players will be available as we once reported it was not.
[Update]
Bungie has now confirmed the report that there will be online 4 player co-op! They’ve also revealed that there will be two new characters to play as in co-op mode: N’tho ‘Sraom and Usze ‘Taham. Every character will have the same abilities and will only start off with different weapons.

We brought you news of Far Cry 2’s announcement some 11 days ago. And in a most predictable manner, we have some more news of the same. Luckily, it’s more useful news that actually says something other than “Brace yourselves. Greatest game yada yada awesome graphics yada yada”
Far Cry 2 will be free from any special alien, magical, mutant or Force powers and you won’t be seeing any nanosuits in it. Jack Carver won’t be in it either. And no Tropical islands. No Trigens.
This begs the question, what is there in Far Cry 2? I’ll tell you what is. African Savannahs. Hungry animals. Angry people. The story will involve charging the protagonist for killing an arms dealer who supplied arms to two sides of a conflict in a failed state. The player will then be involved in many more plots, missions and conflicts. The whole concept of the game will be to shape itself around the player. So the story essentially builds on the player’s actions. Now where have I heard that before?
Far Cry 2’s producer Louis-Pierre Pharand reveals:
The game takes place in two fully open worlds that are five kilometres on a side, with the second world ‘unlocking’ roughly one-third of the way through the game. This gives a playable area of 50 square kilometres, through which the player is allowed to freely travel at any time.
Sounds real sweet to my ears.

I wasn’t a big fan of the original Fable title on the Xbox. It was an RPG game that didn’t have much going for it in my mind. Now on the Xbox 360 Fable 2 is definitely building up hype with its simple combat and Love-centric gameplay possibilities. After watching the following two developer diaries you too may just fall in love with these upcoming title…

The trailer for the independent video game Project Offset is here! After nearly 2 years of seeing the first video clips we’ve finally got the trailer with tons of in-game gameplay to show off why Project Offset is such an intriguing game. Remember what you’re about to see was developed by a small team of developers, not a large studio like EA.
