Duel Blasters 3000 is a homebrew PC game by Erotic Nemesis, which features somewhat racy themes (not safe for work, etc). It's made to be played with two players, and plays a bit like Windjammers with shooting. The game also has some very cool easter eggs that I wasn't supposed to mention. But seriously. Seek them out. Great music too, which you can download on its own. Is very recommend. The guy in charge of this, one Jack Dark has more projects up his sleeve, and I would not be surprised if they were excellent.

I decided to post a demo of my first person shooter "Destress Call". It's a game I'm making with FPS Creator for the PC. The demo consists of the entire first level of the game, plus the intro video.
All music, level design, story and digital art was done by me. The models in the game were bought from the FPS Creator website.
It's still pretty buggy as of right now. The main issue being that while it maintains a decent framerate, something is causing it to stutter every second or so. It's probably just a glitch caused by something being loaded too often. There's also some textures that are messed up (on the ceiling and some of the characters).
Here's some screenshots:
Front of the house
Living room
First enemy about to get his head cut off
Relaxing by the fireplace
Dirty kitchen
Here's the demo. It comes in two flavors... "Destress Call - Low Settings" has low quality textures and no light mapping (loads faster). "Destress Call" has high quality textures and light maps (takes longer to load, but looks purdy).
Destress Call - Low Settings

Please leave me feedback telling me how well it runs, any bugs you encounter and of course how much you like it! :thumbup:

Valve has told everyone it will be making a new version of Counter-Strike for the Asian market.
It will be completely online, and pushed out across Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea by Nexon - a publisher most well known for MMORPG MapleStory.
"By combining their proven development abilities and leadership position in Asia with Counter-Strike's award-winning core gameplay, we have the recipe for customising an online phenomenon for each of the Asian markets," said Gabe Newell, head honcho at Valve.
Counter-Strike is a tactical first-person shooter that was first released in 1999, then revamped to launch alongside Half-Life 2 in 2004.
You play as either a good-guy or a terrorist, and co-ordinate fancy attacks with groups of your friends. It's immensely popular for its realism (or at least its severity), and is estimated to generate around five billion minutes of play-time a month. Cor. If I was clever I would tell you how many people that meant were playing it.
It isn't yet clear what Valve will be doing to Counter-Strike Online to make it different, but we wouldn't expect it will be too far from the version we've been playing for a while.

The sequel machine is running at full speed at Sega, with Creative Assembly pouring new material into the tanks. There's both good news and bad news, as a new game has entered development.
NextGen has been talking to Sega's Scott Steinberg at E3 and got the following statement:
“…We’ve got the Creative Assembly guys doing Medieval and the follow along to Rome which we haven’t announced yet.”
So, Rome 2 is most possibly on its way. And now, back to the good news/ bad news bit. First, the good news: up till now, Creative Assembly has succeeded in doing a good game, followed b a bad game. Shogun Total War (the first title in the series) was undoubtedly a good game, followed by Medieval, which failed to deliver the same experience. The release of Rome Total War took Creative Assembly to new heights (and on Sega's payroll), while Medieval 2 was something of a big disappointment.
Now, Rome 2 is scheduled to fill the ranks and if Creative Assembly sticks with its development habits, it will be a good game.
The bad news is that many fans were expecting the series to move forward into the modern age and deploy new troops on the battlefield. The Napoleon Total War mod for the first Medieval game tried to do this years back, but it seriously lacked polishing.
Rome 2 means no modern age war. Furthermore, if Rome 2 is followed by a Total War game set in the modern age, it would most probably share the fate of Medieval 2.

Tragnarion Studios is the latest developer to reveal it's licensed Epic's Unreal Engine, and is employing the technology in a PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 sci-fi shooter built for co-op play.
The game's called The Scourge Project, and supports four players that form the "technologically advanced" Echo Squad which is battling those dratted aliens. Tragnarion promises that each member of the four-man squad has their own unique story that will unravel as you progress through the game.
"Will your friends fight with you to discover the truth, or betray you to protect it? Beneath the veil of the eclipse, hidden agendas and divided loyalties make anything possible."
Details are thin on the ground currently, but presumably AI will take control of members of the squad if you're Billy No-Mates. We're not convinced about this whole back-stabbing element to the plot either. If each member of the squad is under the control of the player, how will that work? Are we going to have to do a bit of role-playing?
The Scourge Project is due out next year.

Watching fast-moving footage of Resident Evil 5 in a small window on your PC monitor doesn't give you the chance to really appreciate how great it looks, so we've got some nice, high-res screens you'll know good it looks, and these high-res screens you can gawp at 'til your heart's content.
You'll recognise some of these scenes from the E3 trailer, set in a dusty village with some pretty brutal residents.
Just as Resi 4 set new standards for graphical detail in the past generation on GameCube, Resi 5 looks to do the same again, with awesome lighting and environmental detail.
It's a way off though, not expected until maybe 2009. The good news, however, is that there's an extended trailer to look forward to before the end of the month!

Cryptic Studios is powering up the next update for its superhero/super-villain MMORPG City of Heroes/Villains, and is showcasing forthcoming attractions in a three minute trailer. You can view it in our video player.
In Issue 10: Invasion, as the update's named, the developer's explained it decided to advance the game's overall storyline and focus on alien threat to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
"Like any ongoing game we have many unresolved plot threads and each is a great opportunity for introducing new game content. Our first thought for Issue 10 was to bring back the 5th Column, a villain group that disappeared when the Council was introduced in Issue 3. But in the end we decided to focus on one of the greatest threats to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, the aliens known as the Rikti", Cryptic's Matt Miller said in a developer diary. "We had revealed a lot about the Rikti in the past, but there was always the looming spectre of a second Rikti War. There were already plenty of missions that involve shutting down attempts by stranded Rikti to contact their homeworld. For current players, Rikti are a familiar enemy and remain a giant pain in the butt."

The first hints of the setting - or settings - that Ubisoft is using as the backdrop for the action in FPS Far Cry 2 have arrived via concept art that's slipped out onto the internet.
And judging by what's on display, the follow-up is going to take us to numerous locations around the globe.
You'll also notice the concept art includes characters or "Buddies", which are surely people who join up and fight alongside you during the adventure, although we imagine they won't do so all at once.
Whether it's indication of a more squad-based direction for Far Cry 2 or these Buddies will be more sidekicks in the vein of Alyx in Half-Life 2, we'll just have to wait and see.

On Tuesday NCSoft whispered in our ear about the bonuses Guild Wars disciples receive should they pre-order Eye of the North, and today it's entertaining us with a new trailer from the expansion.
Running for just shy of two minutes, you can clap eyes on the trailer in our video player top right.
It's great that Guild Wars creator ArenaNet is creating new content for fans of its MMO, but of course what we're really eager to see is Guild Wars 2. The developer's spoken quite openly about its plans for the sequel, however we've yet to view it in the flesh.
In the meantime then, Guild Wars: Eye of the North. Introducing the likes of 18 multi-level dungeons, 150 new skills across all ten Guild Wars professions, ten new heroes and 40 new armour sets and new items, it's out on August 31.

Unreal Tournament 3 won't be using Games for Windows LIVE, the Xbox Live-style service Microsoft rolled out with Windows Vista.
That's according to Epic Games' Mark Rein, who was responding to questions on the game's official forum (picked up on by Wired).
"UT3 does not use Games for Windows LIVE," he confirmed. "We have not decided about cross-platform play between PC and PS3."
"We're not 100 percent sure that users want that feature, but if we get time we'll play around with it and see how it works.
"In the meantime we plan to be able to serve the PS3 from PC servers so that should help us gets lots of great servers going."
Unreal Tournament 3 is a PlayStation 3 and PC "exclusive" for 2007, with an Xbox 360 version due to be released in 2008.
It's a continuation of Epic's always-enjoyable Unreal multiplayer series, which has been through several iterations despite the "3" tag, and offers a range of team-based modes stuffed with vehicles and interesting equipment, including a rather smashing sort of trifle-based man-trap that we'll be giggling about in our upcoming preview. Watch out for that.

2K Games has released a demo for the second Civilization IV expansion pack Beyond the Sword.
It's got a waist-size of 314MB and lets you test out technology created - as the name suggests - after the invention of gunpowder, and beyond.
The full game was released today, hooray, and is touted as the largest addition to the series so far. There's 10 new civilisations to build up, each with their own leaders and style, plus plenty of new units and buildings to build on the original game with.
Natural disasters will happen randomly to disrupt your progress now, and there will be more focus on the diplomatic side of the game - and the chance to win earlier using words rather than weapons.
On top of all this the computer is now cleverer, practically capable of taking over the world while you're sleeping through levels. Those trees of technology have grown, too, and you'll be able to pluck their apples sooner using the new advanced-start feature, which pops you further down the evolutionary line at the beginning of the game.
Developer Firaxis has even decided to pop-in 12 maps created by you lot, the fans of the games.
Get the 314MB demo here

The episode of South Park that showed the familiar potty-mouthed children becoming hopelessly addicted to World of Warcraft has been nominated for an Emmy.
It will be the sixth time the rude and satirical cartoon has been in line for "the television equivalent of the Oscars", giving it a chance at its second win - the first was in 2004 for the "Best Friends Forever" episode revolving around Kenny and his PlayStation Portable powers.
Games have been the inspiration for numerous episodes of South Park, including the Emmy-nominated parody of Pokémon, "Chinpoko Mon", and the two-parter based around Cartman's impatient wait for a Nintendo Wii, "Go God Go".
The "Make Love, Not Warcraft" episode featured Cartman defecating at his computer chair into a bed-pan held by his mum as the quartet battle tirelessly to prevent the end of the World... of Warcraft.

Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 2 is in development for PC and due for release in spring 2008.
It's the sequel to the 2004 original developed by Crytek, which won wide critical acclaim. Since then Ubisoft has released internally developed console spin-offs, and finally acquired the full rights to the series in March 2006.
The publisher's Montreal studio will be handling creation this time around, and is confident it can recreate the impact of the first.
"Far Cry marked the beginning of a new era for shooters. An era of gorgeous graphics and of advanced artificial intelligence," said John Parkes, Ubisoft marketing man. "We are confident that Far Cry 2 will have the same impact again on the FPS genre landscape."
German developer Crytek has since signed with EA and is currently developing first-person shooter Crysis for PC.
Ubisoft expects assets for Far Cry 2 will be released "soon".

On the face of it CDV's Escape from Paradise City sounds an old premise flogged to death, but a supernatural weaving in and out of its polygons is enough to tweak our interest.
Escape from Paradise City is an action-RTS in development for PC that drops you into the shoes of an NSA agent who has to go undercover to infiltrate the criminal underworld in Paradise City. Your goal is to climb the law-braking ranks to ultimate crime boss and then take out the crime lord currently ruling the roost.
Yes, we've heard that one a million times before but the crime lord's "more than your average thug - or average human", CDV explains, with a hint that something far more sinister lurks behind the boss' hold on power.
The game word presented is dystopian, dark and gritty, and you can view it for yourself in new screenshots released. Escape from Paradise City should be out later in the year.

Longbow Digital Arts appears to have taken a few cues from The Creative Assembly's Total War series for its PC RTS Hegemony: Philip of Macedon.
The historically based strategy game charts the rise to power of Philip of Macedon - Alexander the Great's dad - as he wages war in the Ancient Greek world. The game features a continuous 3D map allowing you to zoom right into the nitty-gritty while you'll also be able to make use of what's being termed a "2D parchment map" to get a grand strategic overview of proceedings.
New screenshots released show hoplites in battleline formations, views of the 2D parchment map and a Macedonian Phalanx - take a look.
A release date for Hegemony: Philip of Macedon is to be confirmed.
