Well there is a new update available on GameTruth, with a new photoshop tutorial. Also this will probably be the second to last post before we head to Vegas for Defcon. I am not going to risk my laptop while we are there but I will have tons of details when I get back.-GLIM

TerraNova has an interesting post up about a publicity stunt done by a minor league baseball team. Essentially, the first 2 innings of the game were played on an Xbox and the last 7 on the field. It is an interesting idea and has certainly caused some controversy. I posted my thoughts in the comments and you should too.-GLIM

You have 24 hours... or so the headline goes on top of Monopolylive.co.uk. This interesting twist on an old board game allows players to play monopoly in real world London. Real live cabs are given Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and are tracked during a 24 hours period. In the game you pick a cab and join 5 other players. If another player's cab stops at your property (you are given 15m

We spent some time this weekend working on ARES and it is very close to being finished. Unfortunately we cracked the Lexan we are using as the table top while we were trying to cut it. Once we figure that out we just need to stain it and it will be done. For those of you that don't know, ARES is a project we started last year to create a 4 player Many Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) coffee

Well the land of Azeroth has been gaining visitors at a steady rate since fall. World of Warcraft has now hit 2 million paying subscribers, and it has plans for 4 more international releases in the future. I was lucky enough to beta test the game and I also have played it on and off since launch and it is unlike any MMORPG I have ever played. The world has drastically changed since launch and

Well, it won't be dying anytime soon. Many well known writers are out prophesizing about the death of PC gaming due to the huge hardware upgrades in next generation consoles. I think these people are just being short sighted and way, way to optimistic about the next generation consoles. Don't get me wrong, I was as excited as the next guy to see the "specs" of the PS3 and Xbox 360 but I know

I stumbled upon a very interesting website the other day called Experimental Gameplay. This site is put together by a group of students and the goal is too create games that are original and fun. The students have created quite a challenge for themselves because each game needs to be finished in about a week and the game can only have one developer that needs to do everything from the design to

Over on Gamasutra they are reporting that a new program at the University of Gotland in Sweden is going to be focused on the modding aspect of gaming. From the site:The University of Gotland in Sweden is opening a program in game development that focuses on user-created mods, such as Counter-Strike for Half-Life or the Duct Tape mod for Doom 3. Students in the interdisciplinary program will work

There is just too much happening at E3 for me to follow all of it. I am not even going to try and be a news source for you, there are dozens of those available. The one thing I did do a little research on is the Xbox 360.The 360 is going to have questionable backwards compatibility. This is a huge issue for me, and probably many other players. The essential run down is that because of the

I was not lucky enough to get to E3 this year but I have read a number of different articles on some of the things being shown off and I must say I am not all that impressed.The specs for all the next generation consoles are very exciting, especially the feature for the Nintendo Revolution, and the fact that it will be able to play many old school NES, SNES and even N64 games. Also the new model

I have never really liked Playstation. They always had excellent games but I hated the fact that the controllers were so small and that the Playstation came only 2-Player as a standard. First news out of E3 has shown that Sony released some details on the Playstation 3. It seems to be very close to the Xbox 360 in features. The reason I bought an Xbox instead of a Playstation 2 was because

I do not currently own a PSP, however I see news stories everyday that a new hack is out that will allow you to use your PSP in Linux or as a Gameboy Color or to surf the net, or this or that. The PSP seems to be a truly versatile machine. I will most likely buy one sooner or later because of all the cool things it can do. If you own a PSP and you want to learn how to do some of these things

In an effort to help move casual gaming forward the well known event organizers The Game Initiative have announced the Casual Games Conference.From the Website:"The new Casual Games Conference takes place July 19-20, 2005 in Seattle, Washington and provides insights to the business

One of my favorite games of all time is Diablo II developed by Blizzard. Several of the designers behind Diablo II broke off and formed Flagship Studios. For a long time now they have been keeping a lid on their current project. Finally some news has surfaced and the upcoming title is called Hellgate: London.The rumors are saying that this dark FPS game could possibly revolutionize the genre, I

Hello All,I have never done a blog before, so this is my first chance to unleash my thoughts and ideas onto the world.
