Space Pirates and Zombies Review

August 22, 2011 | | PC Reviews

If there’s anything I’ve noticed in PC gaming over the last decade, its the steady decline of space games. While adventure games underwent a similar decline in popularity, they’ve made a big comeback thanks to companies like Telltale bringing the joys of adventure gaming back to modern gamers. Unfortunately space games haven’t quite had a similiar resurgence, but the guys at Minmax Games are hoping to bring the joys of space games back with their new indie title Space Pirates and Zombies.

Rage to Be Powered by id Tech 5

August 21, 2011 | | PC News

Rage,
set to release in October, will be the first game powered by the brand

designed to run Rage at 60 FPS and optimized to perform well
across all platforms. The engine is very impressive as id Software’s
goal was to create unique landscapes with amazing textures. The new MegaTexturing
technology allows for larger textures to be used so that artists don’t

textures for broad landscapes. If you haven’t been following Rage, allow me to bring you up to speed.

for a cool $250 US. In 2007, I bought my 40 GB PS3 for a
whopping $700 AUS and that was discounted from $1000 AUS. I’m glad I bought mine when I did because I’ve had amazing experiences
with my PS3. I kept telling my friend to wait until August, but he didn’t listen and paid a higher price.
