A new RPG Arises, Rise of the Argonauts.

A new game published by Codemaster’s just soon after releasing their Racing game Racedriver: GRID.

Rise of the Argonauts is said to be released this fall 2008. It is NOT an MMORPG and there has been no announcement of multiplayer action. The game will be released for PC ( Games For Windows ), XBOX 360 and PS3.

About Rise of the Argonauts

In Rise of the Argonauts, taking place in a Greek era, you take on the role of Jason, King of Iolcus he is a powerful warrior with great abilities. The tale goes, Jason looses his Wife to be on their wedding day, killed by a arrow of an assassin.

Rise of the argonauts claims to bring revolutionary dialog, a breakthrough in real-time combat systems, visual character leveling and inventory management in real-time.

You will be up against Greek Mythological foes, beasts and fighting alongside Legend’s such as Hercules.

Anyway I would suggest checking out their site http://www.rise-of-the-argonauts.com/
for a game trailer and more information!

Well we have good news, Crysis 2 or Crysis Warhead has been announced. So it looks like our wishes to eliminate some more alien have come true.

“Maximum freedom, maximum explosions and maximum Psycho!”

The Crysis Warhead Tag-line.

In Crysis Warhead you will follow the role of SGT. Psycho Sykes on the other side of the island, from where ‘Crysis one’ began. So it doesn’t look like you’ll be going on to the next part of the story just yet, but instead reenacting what happened to Psycho whilst Nomad wasn’t there.

Most probably the last, Crysis 3, will be both Nomad and Psycho which means…. Co-operative play?! Co-op is a great feature and should be introduced! Even if its in the last game.

Crysis Warhead is said to bring more weapons, vehicles, and multiplayer content. Whilst this is all great news and Crysis Warhead is coming up in September 2008!

We were looking forward to Patch v1.3 for Crysis, but as we found out they had to cancel the patch. This is the message that we had from the Crysis Team, explaining why they had to cancel patch 1.3.

As you know, it was a very hard decision for us to cancel Patch 1.3, but in the end it was important we shift our focus to some of the new and exciting things we are doing with Crysis Warhead. We have a lot of great content planned for the community and as we get closer to launch, we’ll be sharing a lot of details of what we are working on behind the scenes. This was the main reason behind the cancellation of the patch and while piracy was and continues to be an issue with Crysis, it did not have any role in our decision to cancel this patch.

We also want to make sure you all know that we are not ending our support of Crysis. We still have www.crymod.com, our official modding portal, up and running - a great meeting place not only for modders, but also for all who are interested in playing new, custom content. In addition we have plans to continue updating the CryENGINE2 documentation and video tutorials frequently.

And of course, your dedicated community management teams are still here and active in our official forums and fansite forums.

The important point is that we are not giving up on our current community and we hope that the announcement today pleased you. Stay tuned for more information on Crysis Warhead… there is a lot more to come!

Anyway Crysis Warhead will be ran on the well known CryEngine 2 with modifications and improvements. So we know what we’re in for when we ask what graphical capabilities and requirements the game has.

If you still can’t believe your eyes visit http://www.crysisthegame.com

Let hope all is going well and that we get the patch soon, i wonder what fixes we will see enhance our game play.

I will be posting up as soon as the patch is released with a download link!

This mean’t the site had to be switched over again to a new host. It is now hosted with Key Space Hosting and will be up 99.9% of the time.

So back on track we will be able to provide more game updates, crysis tips, and our rss updates are now online again.

A trailer for grid will be released everyday because soon the game will arrive for us to buy (Release Date: June 13, 2008) Friday the 13th!! let’s hope its a good one.

Today being day 1 Here is the trailer:

Check out the Chevy Camaro as it takes the corners through the beautiful city of San Francisco.

I advise you to turn on your download(click download) before reading this, its about 800meg and if you don’t download it now, you’ll most probably want to after reading.

I have been playing the GRID demo for the last couple of days. It has shown me a lot and gave great insight to the game. The demo features, 3 modes of game play:

• Touring Cars
• Pro Muscle
• Drift

Touring Cars is your high speed race tracks, the demo has Jarama’s Grand Prix Circuit which is 2.36 miles and you are able to drive the BMW 320SI. You are able to play this track both single player and multiplayer across the internet.

Pro Muscle is your big litre engines and on the demo you are able to drive a Ford Mustang GT-R Concept (below) Which gives you access to the San Francisco Grand Prix race track. This race can also be played online(i know, what are code masters doing releasing all this content?)

Drift i haven’t played much, i don’t usually go for drifting type of games, but it has now become a standard in the racing video game industry, unless your going for a simulator that is. Race Drive GRID Demo allows you to play in a Nissan Silvia on Yokohama Docks Route A1, a Jap track.

As we know Race driver GRID is an arcade slash simulator, a mixture of the two which has actually been done very well, by codemasters.

A message appears on a starting screen of the game stating

“This is a demo and does not represent the final quality of the game”

For a demo there is so much content and is a real tease for the game itself. If you don’t have enough money for the game. At least download the free demo, *chuckle*. It not only features single play but great multiplayer too.

The damage is great(oh be careful online) you will notice all sorts of things that you haven’t seen before dangle from your wreck. Online damage will still be taken into consideration, if turned on in the settings by the host.

You will see the occasional raving lunatic that wants to obliterate your car to smithereens, but you can avoid these guys by making sure you look both to your left and right occasionally.

If you haven’t already download the demo and try this baby out!

As always i recommend http://www.gamershell.com high speed, quick and easy for the most.

Plot Outline

Niko Bellic is Serbian, between 28 and 32 years of age and has come to Liberty City to pursue the “American Dream”. Niko was persuaded to move to Liberty City by his cousin Roman, who claimed in multiple e-mails to Niko that he was living a fabulous life, with a mansion, women, hot tubs and sports cars. Roman’s claims turn out to be lies to hide his own failures, however, and in reality he only owns a small taxi business, which he wants Niko to work for.

Bigger Better… The wait is over.

Release Date: Summer 2009, But Yet To Be Announced.

Mortal Online was first planned back in 2002 and took off in 2005.

Mortal Online is a Fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game some of its features that have been announced so far are, Free World/Free Roam, Next generation Graphics, Realtime combat and something they have added that maybe a different feature than other MMORPG’s is history never repeats itself.

So far they have released a bunch of features that i think early mmorpg’s have covered but the no repetitive monster killing. Full PvP is enabled around the free world of Mortal Online.

• Free Roam / Free World - free roam / free world is what you choose to do in the game, whether is be to be an assassin or theif. It also seems that you will be able to keep houses for storage. Explore the big world, discover new places and name them. New resources are everywhere.
  
  
  
• Graphics Next Generation - Mortal Online is using unreal technology for its “next generation graphics”, the unreal engine 3 to power its MMORPG features, using Grome and Speedtree they will be making a game and world of detailed characters, realistic terrain, life like creatures to make you feel connected visually / mentally to the game.
  
• Real time Combat (as seen in age of conan) - Real time combat in Mortal Online is the only combat system available on the game, auto attacking etc will not be implemented, you will have to be the fighter, you will need skill to fight.
• Mortal Online History Doesn’t get Repeated - When playing mortal online don’t expect to face the same monsters over and over again. There will be small monsters that are common but Big Beasts and Bosses that you kill don’t expect to see them miraculously come back to life, once they are dead they are dead. Rare monsters and quests do not return, each players experience will be unique. How do you find these monsters? you just have to be at the right place at the right time they could be anywhere. You could win a unique item or get a unique scar that no one else will bare, from this style of game play.
• Many more… there are more features to come from this game in most definitely but are yet to be announced.

Overall the graphics look nice, the unreal engine 3 should go down a treat, for those of you who don’t know of it. Okay so maybe the features so far aren’t as pretty as they could be but theres many more to come. The best feature so far would be the History doesn’t repeat itself feature. Which a lot of MMORPG’s don’t have and is what will make this game unique.

There usually always is a beta for these type of games, and Mortal online will also be holding a beta testing stage in the future. Anyway still probably a way to go yet, just thought it’d be worth knowing!

Here is a teaser trailer of mortal online:
