Combat Mission Shock Force & Marines PC game v1.11 patch download

Battlefront has just released the new v1.11 patch for Combat Mission Shock Force and CMSF Marines! It's so packed full with new features, massive AI improvements and the obligatory bug fixes that there is only one question - will it all fit under your christmas tree?!

Here are just a couple of the highlights of v1.11:

- Turn-based action is pre-computed with a "blue bar" before the action is displayed. This allows for improved performance of large battles on older computers, and for convenient "skipping ahead" in the early turns of a battle before enemy contact.

- Suppressive fire: when you order direct fire at an enemy infantry unit, and that enemy unit later disappears from sight, the target order is not immediately canceled. Instead, your unit will continue to area-fire sporadically at the enemy's last known location for a short time if the LOS is sufficiently clear for area-style targeting (note that sometimes it won't be). Volume of fire is lighter versus open terrain, and shots will be taken at other targets of opportunity as usual. If the enemy reappears, it will again be targeted directly. If it does not reappear for about 45 seconds, the target order is canceled. A similar behavior applies to individual soldiers who have fired on enemy infantry without targeting orders from the player. They will continue to area-fire at their target's last known location for about 30 seconds.

Myth War II Online - Pet Animation and Game Music No. 4

Flying Pets are some of the fastest moving pets in the game. Their powerful wings will take them anywhere they like, even within reach of the stars in heaven. They fly and fight, earning your trust with their timely and swift attacks from above. Now the people from Myth War II Online are sharing their thoughts on these pets with everyone. Also, they are making some music recommendations. It promises to be a wonderful and inspirational experience.

Flying Pets
Good PKers in game are always supposed to make the first move. Flying pets, famous for their high movement speed, are always a good choice in a PvP companion.

River Spirit
Pets called River Spirit are real demons. They have wings and hold a Death Scythe in their hands. They are swiftly moving skeletons that will anyone other than their owners. Their aggressive attacks, amazing killing speed and high ATK growth rate are very helpful once you become involved in PKing.

Mosquito
Mosquitoes are group flyers. They take advantage of their opponents by ganging up for a group attack then slowly killing them with their Poison.

Game Music Recommendations

The intriguing melodic texture incorporates popular Arabic rhythms and a sense of mystery, leading to exploration of temptation and fear. Listening to the sounds paints pictures in the mind. A burning sun; a camel sauntering through an endless desert. The scorching sand and the gloomy sky in Desert City indicate a harsh journey.

Not all music will create spiritual hideouts for listeners. Drowning in gloomy melodies is no way to live. The feeling of madness and death walking close at hand creates a desire for escape. The Hellish darkness almost snuffs the life like a candle at the end of its wick.

Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts text patch - make text bigger...

Rare have released a patch that allows the text to be enlarged .

Rare quietly released a long-awaited patch for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. The problem of small text was first discovered and deemed "too expensive" to fix, a position that was later recanted.

This patch lets you keep the teensy-text if you choose but allows larger text to be used.

Just in case you don't have a 50 inch TV - LOL.

Xbox Live Arcade make Microsoft Happy this Christmas

Oh the weather outside is frightful – so grab a cup of cocoa and enjoy this year’s biggest hits on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Gamers and critics agree that 2008 was a stellar year for Xbox LIVE Arcade, which saw record numbers and the most impressive line-up of titles ever.

Santa’s making a list and checking it twice – he knows that Xbox LIVE Arcade is home to the best pick-up-and-play downloadable games available and some of the year’s best titles. In fact, the games have been so good that people have earned more than 1.25 billion (yes, that’s billion with a “b”) Gamerscore and unlocked nearly 100 million Achievements in Xbox LIVE Arcade titles to date.

The Xbox LIVE team launched some of the highest rated titles this year, with more than 60 games scoring an industry-leading metacritic rating of over 75.

“Braid,” beat out big-budget blockbuster retail titles and was named the #2 video game of the year by TIME, “Best Independent Game” of the year by G4TV, and #5 game of the year by Associated Press. Developed by Number None, Inc. and published by Microsoft Game Studios, “Braid” is the No. 1 highest-rated game of all time on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and continues to be one of the top Xbox 360 games available. It even had the highest metacritic rating of any downloadable game this year with an astounding 93 (which was on-par with retail titles like critically acclaimed “Gears of War 2” and “Fallout 3”).

Gamers’ wish lists may also include this year’s favorites, “Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2” (90), “Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix” (89), and “Portal: Still Alive” (89). Last month, Bizarre Creations announced that there are now more than one million combined leader board entries for Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 1 & 2 – that’s a lot of people! Crowd pleaser “Castle Crashers” is also an indisputable favorite and was chosen as Wired Game|Life’s #3 Xbox 360 game of 2008 alongside blockbuster titles “Gears of War 2” and “Fable II.”

We know gamers have been enticed by this impressive line-up – 110 million trial games have been downloaded on Xbox LIVE Arcade to date.

“Momentum for Xbox LIVE Arcade has been incredible this year,” director of digitally distributed games for Microsoft Scott Austin, said. “Xbox LIVE Arcade has really become the top destination for premium downloadable games. And we’ve got a long list of games coming out in 2009 that we think will be just as incredible as what we already have on the service.”

While these new records ring in a winter wonderland, they come hot on the heels of the scorching Summer of Arcade – the most successful season Xbox LIVE Arcade had ever seen. The summer’s best titles which were released over the course of five weeks including “Bionic Commando: Rearmed,” and “Galaga Legions” led to a 58 percent increase in unique members purchasing titles. August broke the monthly revenue high at the time by 67 percent.

After all the eggnog and holiday pudding is gone, Xbox LIVE Arcade has another blockbuster-packed lineup of games coming out in 2009 – so look out for titles including “Lode Runner,” “The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai,” “South Park,” “Puzzle Quest: Galactrix,” and “R-Type Dimensions” to ring in the new year.
