Doom: Resurrection Game for iPhone
So I just paid the $9.99 for Doom: Resurrection for the iPhone and I gotta say… it’s pretty entertaining. The graphics are good, controls are nice. Check out the game trailer below.
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse and G15 Keyboard
Well, I finally now have the mouse and keyboard combination that I have been waiting for. I picked up the impressive G5 Laser mouse and the G15 Gaming keyboard. Now hopefully I can find some time to play some games and use them for what they were designed for. Here’s the basics on those parts:
The G5 Laser offers the ability to adjust the weight and balance to win your game! Also it gives you the edge with a 2000 dpi laser engine sending out an astounding 500 USB reports per second for precision response at blinding speeds.
The Logitech G15 keyboard offers gamers an unprecedented level of in-game information, programmability and control. Its adjustable-tilt, backlit LCD display shows you crucial information during game play, and lets you set timers to keep track of game events.
DOOM 3 System Specs
The hardware specifications for DOOM 3 have been released. As expected, you need quite a hefty system to run the game so you may want to go upgrade before you play it. Here are the specs:
- A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
- 384 megabytes of memory
- Two gigabytes of hard drive space
- An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better
For more information on the specifications, you can check out the Houston Chronicle article HERE.
DOOM 3 Gold
After 4 years of waiting, it has finally happened. Todd Hollenshead has updated his .plan file with the announcement that DOOM 3 is gold. That’s right, it’s on it’s way to be copied and the next stop is a shop near you. The .plan file states that “Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first.” Which of course is all of us!
GTA: San Andreas Info
The new issue of Game Informer (due on the 21st) apparently provides the first in-depth look at Rockstar’s anticipated GTA: San Andreas. Thanks to GTA-SanAndreas.com for the info. Here are the details from the upcoming issue:
- San Andreas is not a city (as it was in the original GTA) but rather a state. Gameplay will take place in three cities, San Fierro (San Francisco), Las Venturra (Las Vegas), and Los Santos (LA). The countryside between the cities will be fully modeled. It is estimated that the entire game area will be anywhere from four to six times the size of Vice City.
- The game takes place in the early ’90s.
- The targeting system has yet again been “improved” in some unspecified way.
- Players can now wield dual weapons.
- AI characters can be recruited as gang members (allowing for four-person drivebys like those seen in the early screenshot).
- The player character is Carl Johnson, a hood who returns home after serving a jail sentence in Liberty City only to find his mother dead. To top it off, he’s been framed for murder by a couple of crooked cops.
- There will be far more interiors than in the previous GTA games. Break-ins are now possible and will be an integral part of many missions.
- You can now swim.
- Bicycles are indeed usable vehicles this time around.
- Players can gamble in Las Venturra casinos. Later in the game it will be possible to build and operate your own casino should you so choose.
- Various graphical improvements.
- The most potentially iffy addition: a stamina meter that must be periodically recharged with food. If the player eats too much junk food they grow fat; this can be worked off in the gym.
Half-Life 2 E3 2004 Video
Someone has gotten a copy of the E3 video for Half-Life 2 and posted it on the net. As well, it includes the first ever video of Counter-Strike running on the Source engine. It weighs in as a 34MB Quicktime file. For the moment, you can get it HERE.
