Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Hands-On Preview
Posted by Donster on: 2010-09-02 17:57:29 in category: First-Person Shooter News [ Print ]
Gambling on matches and a suite of expanded customization options are some of the highlights from our time playing Black Ops online.
By Shaun McInnis, GameSpot
With Call of Duty: Black Ops, developer Treyarch is taking the venerable first-person shooter franchise into the secretive world of Cold War-era special operations. Thus far, we’ve seen single-player demos ranging from an intercontinental flight by SR-71 Blackbird aircraft to subterranean tunnel combat in the throes of a Vietnam war zone. Tonight, however, Treyarch and Activision gave the press its first look at the game’s online multiplayer side--that leveling-up system of persistent unlockables that’s long been a hallmark of the series. With additions ranging from training tools to ease in new players to a points gambling system for the hardcore bunch, it’s clear that Treyarch is casting a wide net with the new features it has conjured up for Black Ops multiplayer.

Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad: Vehicles Interview - New Trailer
Posted by Donster on: 2010-09-02 17:54:49 in category: First-Person Shooter News [ Print ]
By Quintin Smith @ Rock, Paper, Shotgun
To anyone who swore and panicked their way through the original Red Orchestra modification back in 2004, or its commercial release, Red Orchestra: Ostfront, back in 2006, the upcoming sequel Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad should represent a big deal.
To anyone with no idea what Red Orchestra is, let me help out: It’s a multiplayer FPS, set on the Eastern front of World War 2, which captures above all else the grayness and desperation of those nightmare battlefields. Red Orchestra is a game of wincing at suppressive fire, of bayonet attacks, and of struggling to figure out whether that figure is a German or a Russian because muddy gray and muddy brown often look the same in dim lighting.
The sequel’s looking to expand on everything that made the original game great, including its horrific tank combat. Here, we present an exclusive interview with Tripwire President John Gibson, in which he talks freely on the as-of-yesterday unrevealed vehicle combat coming in the sequel.

Unigine Corp. announced today OilRush naval strategy game for Windows, Linux and PlayStation 3. The game is based on the proprietary Unigine™ engine and is developed independently by Unigine Corp. internal team starting from 2009.
OilRush is a real-time strategy game based on the group control.

Challenging gameplay takes you through rushing swarms of furious enemies in every battle. The winning requires intelligent branching of technology researches and all the variety of tactics you can employ.
In the post-apocalyptic flooded world there are two things running short: oil and time. The last survivors in a desperate desire to seize control and dominate the enemy have started the naval warfare that turned the whole world into one large battlefield.
The key of survival in the devastated world is to keep forcing the high-paced advancement of military technologies never ceasing to introduce new types of combat units. In these harsh and cruel times, oil is thicker than blood.

Review: MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK
Posted by Donster on: 2010-09-02 16:35:02 in category: Video Card News [ Print ]
By: Hilbert Hagedoorn @ GURU3D
We test and review the MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK with 1024MB graphics memory. the only thing left original is the actual GPU as everything else was changed. We see a custom PCB with phase LEDs, voltage monitoring points, military class components and to put some icing on the cake the new Frozr II heatpipe cooler that hopefully will bring good temperatures versus low noise levels. It doesn't end there though, MSI is pre-overclocking this 1024MB HAWK model towards 780 MHz.
