Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Is Coming Soon! Release Date Included.
Sniping fake people on my screen makes me happy. VERY happy.
Oh yeah, you read that correctly. The sequel to the mega-fun Sniper: Ghost Warrior is dropping for PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, in the near future and if it’s anything like the original, it’s going to be HOT! And by “HOT” I mean overflowing with snipey goodness.

Your Dream Arcade, In Your Home? YUP!
Arcadey goodness, in your home! Sign me up!
So, I got this press release today about arcade games and Valentine’s Day. It was really just a sales pitchy kinda thing in which they were letting me know that a company that makes arcade machines (the kind where you can play like 150 different games) is having a super-mega sale on their wares, for Valentine’s Day.
I read the release, went to the site, looked around for a bit, and then I saw it… choirs of angels sang out and a magical light shone down upon me from the heavens.

Gaming’s most horrifying villain can’t come to digital storefronts soon enough.
System Shock, the cult favorite PC horror franchise, is ready for new life incredibly soon, FleshEatingZipper has learned. According to our sources, a “new development/publishing studio will be handling the release”, spearheaded with a new digital release of System Shock 2 on GOG within days, the perfect starting point for any classic PC gaming connoisseur. A Steam release is said to follow within the next month at a later, undetermined date. While the complexities of such a new deal were not revealed, for many years following the dissolution of Looking Glass Studios, the legal rights to the series have been up in the air and long-time fans have had to resort to abandonware or other, illicit means to acquire their rad cyberpunk dosage of Shodan’s madness. No longer!
SimCity Teases Us With Another Beta & Surprise Game Addition
Need more super powers.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that a closed beta of SimCity was activated and quickly went away. Well it’s happening again and this time the beta will only be active for 24 hours starting on February 16th at 8 AM PST. It will still only be an hour at a time game limit but an enhanced version. I don’t know what that means but I want to play it. I didn’t get enough time to play it in January so I need to get in this one and make it count! Read the rest of this article…
Rise Of The Triad – Production Diary, Screenshots And Concept Art
This is shaping up to be a very pretty game.
I love PR people. Really I do. I deal with them a LOT and they nearly always seem to be willing to go out of their way to make sure they’re putting a smile on your face while they do all the things you need them to do in order to help you do all of the things they need you to do.
That may not have made sense to you, but it makes PERFECT sense to me.
So when I get an email from a PR person, which starts out with
It’s Friday, sucka!
As usual, here’s the skinny on all the phat news (yeah, I said “phat” for the first time since 1995)
I giggle a little…Because that, truly, helps make my day…Oh, and keep reading for some cool news about Rise of the Triad!
Dead Space 3 (Xbox 360) Review: More Action, Less Horror
It’s odd thinking back on my experience with the series thus far. My first impressions of Dead Space 1 were that of being awe struck in a sense. An In-Game HUD, a third person over-the-shoulder view that didn’t obstruct the action, a unique style to art direction, using dismemberment as a means to kill baddies, and a reasonable story, as the horror was contained in a derelict space ship that forced you to take it slow, and avoid air-ducts constantly. You were an engineer, not some space marine hell-bent on killing everything in sight. It was a decent twist, taking elements from various sci-fi horror movies and mixed them up a little to create a very fun experience. Read the rest of this article…

Sharkoon Xtatic Pro 5.1 Headset Review
The name may sound funny but this headset is no joke.
Several weeks back, we reviewed a couple of headsets from Turtle Beach, which we were really impressed with; Specifically the Sierra and Tango headsets from the black ops series.

So how did it do?
Think You Can Hax? Quadrilateral Cowboy Reveals New Trailer, Blows Your Mind
Look at these displays! These are all yours!
Have you ever played a cyberpunk game like Deus Ex and wondered why you weren’t typing on a virtual keyboard with your keyboard, hacking each camera, door, and trap line by line, rather than just pushing some easy buttons? Do you really feel like a hacker when you’re hacking with a mouse or a few face buttons? That’s not real hacking, that’s for poseurs. Quadrilateral Cowboy from Blendo Studios wants you to get into the nitty gritty and script your way through and past a score of defenses. Are you hardcore enough for that?
