Might and Magic Heroes 6 trailer
Amazing trailer for Might and Magic Heroes 6 (or is it, Heroes of might and magic 6?). Really cant wait for this one! (I know its old, but its the first time Ive seen it.)
What’s new for May? New CPU, new games.
I stopped playing Shogun 2 after reading the eta for the patch being the beginning of May. I bought Arma II: Operation Arrowhead for the singleplayer campaign, and got sucked into the multiplayer (of which I highly recommend if you want a real military simulator experience). I also stopped streaming. My i3 530 @ 4.0GHz [...]
Shogun 2: TW Tokugawa legendary campaign
After completing my Oda campaign on Hard, I wanted a new campaign somewhere else on the map, or at least try and play the game differently from my Oda campaign. Leading the Oda was alot of fun, with massive Ashigaru armies always expanding my clan’s territory out of necessity rather then aggressive expansion. It [...]
The end of Shogun 2 vanilla? Darthmod 1.0
Darth Vader (the great tw modder at twcenter.net) has released his first mod for Shogun 2: Total war. Many people would be familiar with Darth Vader’s mods, especially for Empire: Total war, where his extensive mod was fully supported and upgraded as time went on, radically changed the game from vanilla into a completely different [...]
DX9 and DX11 cpu usage on shogun 2
Before CA release their patch DX11 patch sometime in the next few weeks, I thought it would be interesting to see how switching from DX 9 to DX 11 would effect CPU usage. DX11 should let the GPU handle some of the tasks designed for the CPU depending how each are under load. Without [...]
Total War: Shogun 2 live stream this week
On Wednesday 16th of March I will be streaming Total War: Shogun 2 from 11am to 8pm. It will be a good opportunity to see the game properly before you buy. I have played the game about an hour and so far its pretty amazing. Hopefully by the end of the stream we will [...]
Crysis 2 on Hardcore graphics setting
I would of thought my PC would struggle with the Crysis 2 MP demo, but it handles it on the highest setting very well. The fps drops very occasionally but otherwise its nice and smooth. I have a new founded respect for my graphics card, I never thought it was capable of handling a game [...]
Kai Honsou’s live gaming channel
I am now streaming everything I play. Streaming games makes them more enjoyable when you are sharing the experience with other people. Right now, I have been streaming Mount and Blade:Warband. It is extremely addictive and I would recommend it to anyone after a realistic medieval fantasy kingdom building game. There is so much content [...]
Shogun 2:Total War Real Release Date! Late March/April?
Shogun 2: TW is to be “released” on March 15th. The real release date is around the end of March, maybe mid April. CA/SEGA like to mass beta test the game first so for the love of gaming, don’t be sucked into the hype of amazing reviews and gamers experiences of the best gameplay ever. [...]
Eve Online: Incursion trailer
A very sexy (although a bit late) trailer of the free winter expansion for Eve Online. CCP (the creators of Eve) have been criticised for the last two expansions, mostly from leaving unfinished content to rust. Despite the lack of polish of the last two expansions, they added a new way of warfare in the [...]
66% off Supreme Commander 2 @ Steam (ended)
When SC 2 was released with a slew of other games earlier this year (or was it last year?) It made it on my march disappointment list. Every single review and user review indicated that the single player sucked. I’m a big fan of SC1 and prefer the grand strategic showdowns rather then C&C rts [...]
