Still churning these games out.. news of Assassin's Creed IV has popped up today. Looks as though the new protagonist is going to be a pirate, which given how universally praised the 'high seas' combat introducted into ACIII was, comes as no surprise really. Some people feel this series has been beating a dead horse for a while, and/or has strayed way too far from its roots by cramming in a ridiculous amount of side quests, objectives and collectibles. I still find them great fun though, and I thought ACIII did enough to keep the series fresh <_<

Aah... I remember my childhood when I used to play video games on that... I still have it, and I think that it's a very underrated machine (and forgotten, above all). The games were fun and extremely playable... I also used to write simple programs in Basic (computer language). What's also very cool about C64 is that it has a pretty complex sound processor (of course, when you think of technology in the 80's). I will never get rid of my 'Commie'.

Deus ex is a series of games, set during the 21st century, focuses on the conflict between secretive factions who wish to control the world by proxy, and the effects of transhumanistic attitudes and technologies in a dystopian future setting. The series consists of: Deus Ex (2000), Deus Ex: Invisible War (2003), Deus Ex: Human Revolution (2011), Deus Ex: The Fall (2013), Deus Ex Go (2016) and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (2016). I really really liked the first Deus Ex, but the last one (mankind divided) is the best in my opinion (and it's not always the case for games or movies - far from it actually) Deus Ex rocks because: a) Adam Jensen …

I checked out some E3 stuff over the weekend. Some interesting stuff. I had pretty much felt that gaming industry was stuck in a rut but the new promotional efforts are showing some promise: The bethesda softworks stuff looked well done. Fallout 4's vision of post-nuclear Boston looks the most interesting and derives from Fallout 3. The modern version of Doom- the classic shooter- is retro and is different at the same time; also now relies on speed and close action for survival. Deus Ex has excellent graphics and looks like a significant upgrade from Human revolution. Most certainly these modern games have had a significant leap forward in terms of graphics an…

great article on why people play the opposite sex so often in games, when there's the option. PluggedIn: Gamers bend gender for a winning edge By Lisa Baertlein LOS ANGELES, July 28 (Reuters) - When men appear as buxom, scantily clad females in video games like "World of Warcraft," it is more about winning than finding an outlet for a real-world affinity for gender bending. "It has nothing to do with exploration of sexual identity," said Brenda Brathwaite, a game developer who delved into the subject for her book "Sex in Video Games," set for release this fall. While there are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-friendly groups that operate within massively multiplaye…
