Shellshock 2 Brings Fear To The New Year

Survival horror sequel to ship in February

Eidos Interactive, creator of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, today announced that its Vietnam survival horror shooter, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, will ship to retail in Europe on February 13th, 2009.

Sequel to the 2004 hit title, Shellshock: Nam ’67, Blood Trails pits players against a war unlike any they have seen before. Taking the first-person war game and turning it on its head, players will experience a conflict where fear takes on a whole new meaning.

At the height of the Vietnam War, a covert ops cargo plane carrying a top-secret consignment known only as ‘Whiteknight’ is lost over the deepest, uncharted jungles. Special Ops soldiers are immediately dispatched to the scene to retrieve the top secret shipment and one-by-one they disappear without a trace… until one month later, one of them suddenly walks out of the jungle.

Crazed and deranged, something in the jungle had ripped out his humanity, poisoning his soul. Something in the darkness had driven him mad….and followed him out.

“Shellshock 2: Blood Trails™ takes players to a Vietnam War unlike any they will have experienced before. This is a war where your enemy doesn’t just want you dead… it wants to rip you to pieces,” said Lee Singleton, General Manager of Eidos Games Studios. “As the infected turn one-by-one, your instinct to fight becomes an instinct for flight, to leave the real horror of this war far behind.”

Shellshock 2: Blood Trails will be released on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows

Microsoft Simulator X add –on Grumman F6F Hellcat

Mamba Games Ltd, a new dynamic multi-platform video games publisher today releases the first exclusive screenshots of the Microsoft Simulator X add –on GRUMMAN F6F HELLCAT, part of the 6 add-ons Mamba will be releasing over the next 24 months.

Jason Codd , Co-Founder and Commercial Director of Mamba Games quoted “ The quality of the work Real Flight Simulations has done is absolutely stunning, I am a big Microsoft Simulator X player and this add on is right up there with the best I have played.

With a release date set for the 27th March 2009 Microsoft X players will get the chance to fly this stunning aircraft in all its glory!





HISTORY OF THE GRUMMAN F6F HELLCAT

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy service. Although the F6F bore a family resemblance to the Wildcat, it was a completely new design powered by a 2,000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800. Some tagged it as the "Wildcat's big brother" [1]. The Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair were the primary USN fighters during the second half of World War II.

The Hellcat proved to be the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,171 aircraft[2] while in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (5,163 in the Pacific and eight more during the invasion of Southern France), plus 52 with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during World War II.[3] Postwar, the Hellcat aircraft was systematically phased out of front line service, but finally retired as late as 1954 as a night-fighter in composite squadrons.

Maro Kart on Nintendo Wii some cheats

Wii Game Cheats for Mario Kart to save you a little time:

• Quick Recovery from a POW Block: For this to work you must have drifting set on manual. After the second strike from a POW block – but before the third – start drifting so that you are in the air when the third strike comes. When you land you should spin and keep going at the same speed as before.

If an opponent uses a POW block on you, perform a wheelie as soon as you hear the third POW – you will lose your item and spin but you will maintain your speed.

• Bike Recovery: If you get hit while on your bike, do a wheelie and you can increase your speed quicker.

• Force a Hit: To force your opponent to land on an item and score you an automatic hit, place a banana or fake item box immediately after you land from a DK Cannon.

• Koopa Cape Shortcut: For a shortcut to Koopa Cape, after you go over the ramp that leads into the fast stream, keep going around and then enter through the small arch that has a ramp on the left. You must have something that gives you speed to do this such as a Super Mushroom. Instead of going around the giant red hat, go through the grass behind it making a straight pathway. This will help you win your race and improve your times in trial mode.

Mario Kart for Nintendo Wii is one of the best Mario Karts to come out. Using Wii Game Cheats you can get ahead of your opponents and unlock some power items like Super Mushrooms. Mario Kart for Wii will keep you playing for hours.

Tales of Pirates - Abandoned Evil Mine Introduction

Today the folks at Tales of Pirates are going to tell you about the Abandoned Evil Mine. In Tales of Pirates there is a large mine known as the Abandoned Evil Mine near the Argent City Haven. It is said that there are many Bosses between level 30 and level 50 there. If level 30+ players have the courage to challenge them, then it can prove an excellent place for them to level up quickly. However, the Bosses and the guards there are so vicious that many pirates have lost their lives. Do you have the guts to fight behind enemy lines and bring back treasure from those monsters?

The light in the mine is so dim that you can only feel where you are going by using your feet and hands. Its like a maze, there are many junctions and dead ends. So if you are not familiar with the layout you’d better follow some experienced players. There is also an entrance to the Silver Mine in this mine. You will meet level 25 bandits, mystic shrubs and the powerful boss Behemoth. After beating them, you can obtain many treasures and items. You need to find an entrance in the 1st story to go to the 2nd story.

Revealing the mystery of the mine, getting rid of the source of evil, finding treasure, and perfect team work. These are your quests in the Abandoned Evil Mine.

Getting paid to promote Xbox 360 to women...

On a recent Saturday, about 1,000 women across the country moonlighted as marketers for Microsoft's newest Xbox services.

House cleaners, hairdressers, guidance counselors and IT technicians got a $150 pack of Xbox freebies for opening their homes to at least 10 friends or relatives.

And they earned bragging rights.

"It's cool because the kids in my school were like 'oooh,' " says Aimee Maldonado, 40, a guidance counselor at a high school in Yonkers, N.Y. "They think I'm so cool."

She was among the first 10,000 people in the U.S. to try a batch of new Xbox Live Internet-based games and services, which include streaming video, movie rentals from Netflix, as well as photo-sharing and other social-networking features and shopping.

Microsoft signed up Maldonado and the others to drum up interest among women like them in the services and the newest Xbox console, whose price was cut in the fall to $199.

"We've sold 20 million consoles to date globally since we launched three years ago," says Heather Snavely, Microsoft's director of interactive entertainment business global platforms. "In order to get to the next 20 million, we need to get a new audience of women and teens. We're going after them in ways that are different than ways we've done before."

The Xbox event hosts used their own Xbox 360 consoles to demonstrate the new services, which also require broadband Internet service and subscriptions to Netflix and Xbox Live, a service that offers social-networking activities and game play with friends in other cities.

They got an Xbox party pack of freebies that included microwaveable popcorn, Xbox trivia game "Scene It? Box Office Smash," an Xbox universal media remote control, a three-month subscription to Xbox Live, and 1,600 Xbox Live points (used for game, movie and TV show purchases).

Xbox found women including Maldonado and Chicago-area resident Danielle Jamil through a service called House Party, which sets up home parties for marketers. House Party has a database of 100,000 names of people who have provided a profile of personal information and who want to be "brand advocates." The advocates host a preplanned party to show off the marketer's brand to their friends.

Sherlock Holmes v Jack the Ripper in this Whitechapel PC video game can you stop the London prostitute killer?

Frogwares Studio and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to share with you this new video of Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper, which will be released in May 2009.

Watch the video on my YouTube channel here... please subscribe

This 1min50 long video takes us to London, back in 1888 to the faithfully recreated Whitechapel district, exactly as the payers will discover it as this video is only composed of ingame sequences.

Dark streets, oppressive atmosphere, constant poverty, alcoholics, beggars and prostitutes, it’s a frightening immersion that we offer you on video in this district sadly known for having been the hunting ground for one of the most atrocious serial killers in History: Jack the Ripper.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper allows you to play as the greatest detective of all in the London of 1888. A series of particularly horrible murders creates a real psychosis throughout the country. Atrociously mutilated prostitutes' bodies are found by the police without them being able to find a serious lead. Sherlock Holmes starts looking for clues in the dark and sinister alleys of Whitechapel in order to follow the macabre trail of the one the press now calls Jack the Ripper. During an adventure full of twists, Sherlock Holmes will try to bring out the true identity and the motives of the one who hides behind this scary alias.

The Sherlock Holmes series is known as one of the best franchises in adventure games and is very popular with around 1.5 million copies sold worldwide. Now, Sherlock Holmes is back with a game that will give a new dimension to the series. Indeed, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper will offer players two different views that are accessible at any time: a third person view in the purest style used in point & click adventure games, as well as a first person view. The player will be free to play in one or the other modes or even combine them for greater immersion into this terrifying adventure. Another novelty: the player will also find an original crime scene reconstitution system that will allow him to test his theories during his progress in the investigation to follow the bloody trail of the terrifying serial killer.

Sherlock Holmes v Jack the Ripper will be released for DVD ROM PC in May of 2009.

Runescape players guide tips on how to use Holy Magic...

Prayer in Runescape serves the same role that clerical or priestly magic does in other games. It serves to heal and buff the Runescape character. Prayer is used for both buffing and healing in the game, but it is one of the hardest skills to raise. Merely using a power from the prayer list does not give a Runescape character prayer experience.

Most skills in Runescape have a fairly straight forward process of leveling up which involves using them. Using a spell from the prayer list will not cause the skill to go up. Instead, a player must find and bury bones in order to gain experience. It is often a painstakingly slow process.

Raising Runescape Prayer Experience

Using a spell form the prayer list is not enough to cause a player's experience in the skill to go up. Insated, a Runescape character must bury bones found on the monsters that he kills. The bones that yield the most prayer experience can only be used by Runescape members, but this restriction only means that the free members can still level up their prayer skill level more slowly. A free player who wants to raise his prayer skill should find and bury big bones, which give 15 experience points when buried.

Getting New Prayers in Runescape

As a Runescape characters level in prayer increases, new buff spells become available that can help a character out as he journeys through the game world. Spells on the prayer list can be used as long as the character has the necessary skill points and level to use them. If a character runs out of skill points, he must return to an altar and pray to recharge his prayer points.

Prayer in Runescape is one of the most frustrating skills to level, but it is the second most powerful skill set in the game. Because there are no limits to the number of skills a Runescape cahracter can learn, there is no reason not to pursue any skill that makes a character's life easier.

Patience and diligence are required to raise this skill more so than any other skill in Runescape. If a character puts the effort, he will eventually reap the rewards of channeling divine energy.
