Trine release pushed back

We have some bad news for those eagerly anticipating Trine's release on the PSN. Frozenbyte has confirmed that the action/puzzle game won't be released this week to iron out a small bug. Here's the official word from Frozenbyte as posted by FB_Lauri on their community forums:

Unfortunately, Trine isn’t coming to PSN this week, and this time it’s our fault as there was discovered yet another small bug which needed to be fixed. I can’t tell for sure when the release is coming, as no-one really seems to know. Also, I have no idea are EU and NA releases timed differently. For us, not knowing is also a bit tough, but I hope it’s eventually worth all the waiting.

Too bad. Still, look on the bright side -- at least now you don't have to pay for both this and Fat Princess in the same week.

This might be my reason to get the iphone 3gs!

ZodTTD teases gpSPhone and psx4iphone running on iPhone 3GS

The iPhone DevTeam hasn't released a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS as of the moment but that won't stop famed iPhone homebrew developer ZodTTD for porting his emulators to the speedy new iPhone. Here we have a video preview of his two popular emulators, the gpSPhone and the psx4iphone running on the new iPhone 3GS.




On the first video, Zod previews the GBA emulator, gpSPhone, running on the iPhone 3GS. The video shows the emulator running at a minimum 150 FPS and maxing out at about 225 FPS, with sound and 0 frameskip whereas the iPhone 3G needed frameskipping just to reach 60 FPS.

Fk'n sicko!!

After 8 years and 12 piercings, BME user metal_games wants to move on to other forms of art he can apply to his body. But instead of going down the tattoo road, this guy opted to go for scarification, wherein you intentionally scar yourself to create a pattern or an image. The interesting bit here is that the design isn't what you usually see - it's the image of the NES controller. For the squeamish, the pics may not be too suitable for you guys.

Starting with the lines, the pain wasn't half as bad as I'd expected. In fact, it was a breeze for the most part," he wrote on his blog. "It took Jeffrey, the artist, about 20 minutes to cut all the lines. A couple of deep breaths, and we went straight on to removing the skin. I wasn't looking forward to that, but again, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." So despite the bloody mess, our body modder didn't seem to hurt too much.

Here's an except from the same blog entry:

Some parts on the more sensitive parts of my leg had me clenching my jaw, and after about 45 minutes I just wanted it to be over with. We were nearly done at that point however, and after another painful 10 minutes it was all over. Stopping the bleeding was a different matter though, and I lay there for a while until it stopped. After bandaging it, it felt like a large abrasion. So back to Utrecht, where it turned out the bleeding had started again, but the next morning when I cleaned it for the first time, it had stopped. Cleaning it for the first time turned out to be pretty painful (duh), but the second time it was a lot better. Now all I have to do is to care for it according to Jeffrey's advice, and I can't wait to see how it's gonna come out when it's fully healed. All in all, it wasn't the most fun experience I ever had, but I'm glad I went through with it. It looks so cool!


The thing is, he didn't mention why he went for the NES controller, why he picked his leg, or what games he enjoys playing. Then again, he's more of a body-modder than a gamer, so all we have are the intricacies of his bloody conquest.

Wolfenstein

This game looks quite promising, with the previous Wolfenstein, the MP was always very good.

CALL OF DUTY 4!

Teabagging!!

When playing with the hongkies or n00bs in Halo 3 make sure you do this

First Contact! Hongkies vs Ozzies

To celebrate the first battle in Halo3 between the Hongkies vs Ozzies a comic book was commissioned to document this auspicision event. Here's hoping for more battles in the coming months!

Halo3 advert - reimagined

Anyone whose seen the recent "museum" ad for Halo3 will probably appreciate this re-imagining. BTW did anyone think the original advert was the most pompous and self-service POS ad you've every seen for a fking video game which is just about running around shooting people?!?! geez!

Genki Rockets - Heavenly Star

A japanese band that came to my attention mainly cause of the great puzzle game Lumines 2. Tetsuya Mizuguchi the creator Lumines and fine legacy of games from the Sega glory days co-wrote and directed the music video. He also included the song in Lumines 2.

Genki Rockets are about to release a new single soon so here's a taste. A great bubble gum pop classic!

Playstation 3 Game Round-Up

So, I'm pretty much a n00b gamer, and I don't dedicate that many hours to slugging it out, so these reviews are going to be fairly basic.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 2.5/5
I got this game thanks to Jobsey's recommendation. I think the graphics stink. Sure it's high-def, but the FMV parts look crap. I find it a boring game. The game is too open, and I don't feel any connection with the characters. Maybe I don't play it enough. Maybe I haven't put enough time into playing it. Maybe the characters are just too ugly. I think I prefer the multiplayer feeling of WoW. Thanks for the crap advice Jobsey.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 4/5
This game is cool. I want to play it more. The story is a bit too disjointed. The female character "Racheal" needs a breast reduction.

MotorStorm 3/5
As a dirt racing game this is cool.

Super Stardust HD 4.5/5
This seems like a simple game, but it's incredibly addictive. It's an easy game to jump in and start going for it. That's my gaming style. And it's cheap!

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection 3/5
Fun and cheap.

Calling All Cars! 1/5
This game had good reviews, but it's shit. Maybe one day I'll try it on multiplayer.

Splinter Cell 2/5
I bought this game on the recommendation of Trappa. I expected a sneaky spy game, but it's more like a lame game. Thanks for nothing Trappa!

I Hate this..

Totally agree hahaha

Pwnage underwear

So you've pwned all the games you have. But you want to pwn even more. Here's a start. Pass this out to the ones you've.. pwned

4 Player Co-op on Halo 3!!

Tears are in my eyes as I heard this news!

Prediction : 4 player co-op on Halo3 will be like totally revolutionary in terms of a satisfying co-op experience! At the very least it will reach the heights set by the "Banshee Run"!

Top 100 Videogames (as per Edge magazine)

I just picked up the special mag that Edge released where it lists the top 100 videogames.. anyways here's the top 20! There's some surprising results! It's also not a bad read too especially if you're into videogames and want to fondly remember games of the past where you probably spent way too much time on!

20. Civilisation 4 : God I love the civ series man its super fking sik!!! tho actually I remember this game 10 years ago would be in the top 10.. hmm.. surprising

19. Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion : man are you fking kidding me? yeah I know the game in terms of rpg's is pretty extensive and really exhaustive and really free flowing (I played it like 6 hours straight once haha) but how the fk can u get pass those fking fugly character models man!! fk!

18. Final Fantasy 7 : hahaha!!! For many westerners this was their first ff game (was for me) and ushered in many good (j-rpg's!!!) and bad (FMV which plagued videogames ad nausem for a decade plus). It also had probably the most emotional moment in gaming history - the death of Aeris!!

17. Goldeneye : god! wat a game!! The first awesome fps console game that will probably never be achieved again considering most FPS games nowadays are built upon the PC-way of FPS.

16. Street Fighter anniversary : fighting games.. meh.. but I guess its good if you're into these games

15. Pro Evolution Soccer : See! Edge! They're fking class man to recognise PES/WE within the top 20 games.. u rarely see any major gaming site including this fking awesome sports game EVER!!

14. Super Mario Kart : geez I dunno about this one.. but then I was never a big fan of this game.. This is the only driving
game in the top 20 hahaha!

13. Ico : artsy fartsy game hahaha i remember I watched Matt play this game i think I feel asleep.. but i can see why its here I
guess

12. GTA : yeah! Sure the graphics were crap, the collectibles sh$t was annoying but wat a great world it created man!! And a top class music soundtrack too!

11. Yoshi's Island : Edge loves this game and I guess I love this game too haha fking hell yoshi was damn fking cute and so was little baby mario and the crayon like graphics was so bleeding edge for the SNES.. YOSHI!!

HERE WE GO.. THE TOP 10!!

10. Super Metroid : I tried playing this before recently... but old games man its sometimes hard to play them if there more than 10 years old.. oh well I'll just take their word for it.. Also has a quite stunning reveal at the end of the game where you find out Samus is.. A GIRL!!

9. Tetris : MAN!!! Why the fk is this game only at number 9!! It should be in the top 5!! What the fk is going on here man?!?! But aside from that what simple game with such depth and replayability. And this game it just keeps on giving cos nowadays you can play online!!

8. Final Fantasy 12 : ha! I guess this game must be good!! But since I've never played it I can't really say anything

7. Halo Combat Evolved : well.. I'm glad they specified halo1 and not halo2.. that's all I can say.. haha.. tho yes I grudgingly agree its a top 10 listing mainly cos it had the most awesome control system ever for a fps console game.. But like FF7 it brought on a whole load of copy cats to the point where MS entire strategy is just built on pumping out more FPS games than you can count..

6. Zelda : Link to the Past : ha! There's tons and tons of articles on how great this game is so I won't even bother

5. Super Mario World : Here we go!!! The ultimate platform game ever!!! geez maybe I should go play it on the wii I actually dl it a few months ago but only played for a few minutes haha

4. Half Life2 : I always forget about hf series but yeah this game is pretty much is the ultimate and complete fps game that has been copied but never equalled.. It has the most awesome single player campaign ever (It finally got rid of FMW and cutscenes!!) and that games engine Valve has? Well.. it created a little onlne game called.. Counter Strike.. legend status confirmed

3. Super Mario 64 : god man I fking love this fking game!!! It was the only mario game I've ever finished and it was just a joy to finish man I didn't even mind having to find those stupid red coins n sh$t which I normally hate.. go mario!! itsa me!

2. resident evil4 : WWWTTTFFFFF!!!! serious!!?? man I should really play this game then man!!! i have a gamepube version for the wii!!! fk I might go play it tonite!! Can it really be that awesome?! Anyone here played it?!

and number one.. da-ta!! and I bet it is!!!

1. Zelda Ocarina of Time : wat a surpise.. not hahaha

Night Trap!

Want to know why in the early days of videogaming Japanese games had such superior cut scenes? Cos Western games wanted to use live action sequences.. cos you know it's more believable right? Case in point.. NIGHT TRAP!



Awesome song tho!

Ring of Fire!!

LINK TO SONG

"And when I got that dreaded ring of fire,
I called Microsoft for repairs that I required,
But I sat on hold till I got tired,
Freakin' ring of fire"

"So I've still got this burning ring of fire,
And I can't play gears yet yeah it's getting really dire,
And it burns burns burns this ring of fire
This ring of fire"

BWAHAHAHA

Sarcastic Gamer!

HAHA this site is damn funny but best of all his songs are hilarious!



This one is about PS3. Lots of funny lines but I like

"Said Halo3 don't worry you,
Instead you offer Killzone 2,
But Kilzone 1 sucked before,
What makes you think we want it more!"

BWAHAHAHAHA

rice300 Car!

Hey guys we have now finally got an official rice300 car!

This is my first go at it. Hopefully I'll make it even more sik looking! BTW this is Trapattoni's car the Volkswagen Golf GTI!




Here's me doing it for the team on the Silverstone racetrack! Inside lane overtaking to first position!

Trappa plays the PS3

Trappa was seen pwning alien n00bs in the Resistance demo.


Notice his relaxed but highly focused style. The Korean fan-girls would dig it... if he was in Korea... they would call him Trapps-Bulgogi.

ACHIVEMENT!!!

Woohoo!! I finally hit 10,000 ACHIEVEMENT POINTS!!





I have now officially retired from being an achievement ho
