‘Dismembering for Dummies’ by X-Men Origins: Wolverine [HD gameplay clips]
Have you ever wanted a special guide for dismembering stuff? Well, look no more! X-Men Origins: Wolverine 'uncaged edition' is the ultimate guide for you to master dismemberment.
I say this, because I play this game, and boy, is the violence excessive. Only game that beats X-Men Origins: Wolverine 'uncaged edition' in terms of violence, blood, guts and gore is Ninja Gaiden.
Game's an action-adventure. You get to play Wolverine and relieve his past, especially his Origins in Weapon X. According to Wikipedia roughly 90% of the same-titled movie storyline is in the game as well.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 'uncaged edition' is about fast paced action with a sheer amount of chainable combos where guts drop, heads roll and limbs fly with jaw dropping fatalities as an icing on the cake!
Oh, and you get to watch Wolverine losing flesh 'n bones and regenerate them slowly back.
At some point, if you are careless enough you can see Wolverine almost striped naked to his adamantium skeleton. An awesome sight.
But it ain't everything gold everything that shines. The whole game is too easy. No matter what difficulty level you choose you'll blaze through the game in your sleep. And those minibosses, man I tells ya, they be teh suck! Repetetive...almost always the same ones and the first tactic that worked before still works on the 12385th one.
Music...bah, where be da coolz music? Very boring music, I had hoped for a more noticable music during the game play, but nada, zip! And most importantly, there's no friggin' multiplayer mode.
I mean are you friggin' kidding me? I can no has smash me friends? I's sad panda! Co-op would indeed be very nice to have, but that would make no sense in a game about Wolverine.
Perhaps some deathmatches in some sort of Arena? Now that would be cool. The sheer amount of combos and fatalities would indeed give a great replay value, if only there was a multiplayer mode...
Clearly the 'uncaged edition' was meant for the mature Wolverine fans while the "light" versions for Wii and PSP are acessible to our young'uns. All in all a must have for the Marvel fans; a should-have for the fast-paced melee-combat loving fans!

Braid – A lovely jump ‘n’ run puzzle adventure!
Just thought I'd share great indie game with you. Braid is the name, a lovely jump 'n' run puzzle adventure. This game was released in August 2006 on XBox Live Arcade, but just recently, on April 10th 2009, came to the PC platform.
It's played by solving physical puzzles in a platform game environment much similar to that of Super Mario Bros. . Tim the Protagonist runs, jumps and climbs across the game's level while avoid being touched by plants, enemies and whatnot. Just like in Super Mario Bros. .
One of the unique game feature is the unlimited ability to control and manipulate time. Tim can reverse time and in essence go back where he just was moments ago. A great feature if you just got killed by an enemy; simply reverse the time and continue from there on again.
The game world is divided into 7 smaller worlds with an extra, what you may call, overworld in form of Tim's house. The various worlds are entered through doors from Tim's house.
What's much more fascinating are the graphics. Although it's only 2D, the graphics are simply amazing. And the music, don't get me started on it. Perfect composition between graphics, music and levels. Which is why Braid got such high review scores!
The PC version of Braid comes with another great extra: an Editor! Players can create whole custom worlds for others to play in.
It truly is a great game for the occasional play session. Give it a try!
I made a short gameplay clip from World 2:

Demigod – Can you smell what “The Rook” is cookin’? [HD gameplay clips]
Demigod has been out since April 14th 2009 and some of my friends are playing it like crazy. Although I loathe strategy games this one fascinates me.
Perhaps it's those RPG elements or perhaps it's the whole mix of RPG, strategy and tactic.
The game itself is not a pure strategy game. It has RPG elements where you can buy stuff and arm your chosen demigod and of course it has the usual strategy elements you'd expect, but not all of them.
Demigod plays different from your standard Real Time Strategy game like StarCraft, WarCraft, Company of Heroes, etc.
It plays different because you don't control units. You control 1 single unit, your chosen demigod. Perhaps Demigod can be compared to Warcraft 3 with Defense of the Ancients (DotA).
There are 2 types of demigods you can chose from: Assassins and Generals.
Assassin demigods are made to me more of an RPG character who fight on its own. While the General demigods are made to be for RTS play since they can summon units who help fight alongside the General.
The Assassin demigods are Rook, Unclean Beast, Torchbearer and Regulus and the Generals are Vampire Lord, Sedna, Oak and Queen of the Thorns. It's been said on the official forums that 2 more playable demigods are coming out later in a content patch.
There is no campaign mode as most of you may be used to. This game focuses heavily on multiplayer. Although you can play a solo tournament, it's pretty boring, even in its hardest mode. Multiplayer is where the fun is!
There are 4 different match modes you can play:
- Conquest, where one has to destroy the opponents citadel in order to win.
- Dominate, where one has to capture and hold flags in order to win.
- Slaughter, where one has to defeat a specific number of the opponents demigods.
- Fortress, where one has to destroy the opponents fortresses.
That being said, I played the Solo Tournament mode, 8 rounds. Recorded it, transcoded it to 720p HD and uploaded it on YouTube.

Fallout 3 goes into the Pit – “The Pitt” HD game play clips!
Fallout 3: The Pitt is out, and I'm playing it.
What was a simple and quick "run and grab 10 ingots" turned out to be a "grab whatever ingot you see and explore the zone" Quest!
I'm doing "Unsafe Working Conditions" in the clips. You have to go inside 'The Steelyard' and collect 10 metal ingots. If you get all 100 of them, you can then turn the remaining 90 for extra items. If you play on XBox 360, you get an achievement too.
Love it, it's as good and as interesting as Operation Anchorage. Although Operation Anchorage has got negative reviews, because people feel it didn't "fit" into Fallout 3, they forget that Operation Anchorage was a simulation and a crucial moment in Fallout's history.
Anyway playing 'The Pitt' is entirely different as 'The Pitt' integrates in the actual Fallout 3 time line. After a short while you will get a broadcast signal followed by a message pop-up, same procedure as with Operation Anchorage.
The DLC "The Pitt" isn't long. If you are a slow player, perhaps you get 5-6 hours out of it at most. If you play it fast it'll be even shorter, I'd estimate about 2-3 hours tops. Before you get angry bear in mind that DLC's are NOT intended to be full expansions with tens of hours of game play. DLC's are small content patches which add a few hours at most to the game.
I want to apologize for a few things though in the clips:
1) There are some "breaks" in the videos. Meaning I stopped recording to read a terminal, or to open a lock, or to browse through my pip-boy. I didn't record this because it was unessential to the game play and it would be a waste of space (All 5 clips were worth uncompressed and not trans-coded about 78 Gbyte of Disk Space!).
Don't worry though I usually started to record from this point where I stopped.
2) I did NOT explore The Steelyard to its fullest extend. I did however at the point when I was recording not know this. I got back later and saw I missed a few spots (and Ingots, got my 100 ingots!)
You see, I don't want to re-record this again. Because when I re-record it, I know the spots already, I know where to look and I know what to do. Recording while being in there the 1st time is something entirely different!

Long story short: Enjoy and don't forget to watch in HD!
Addendum: I've got emails asking me how many ingots there are and where they all are, what the reason is to collect more than 10 ingots and if you get your items back you had to surrender at the beginning of The Pitt.
There are 100 ingots total. Collecting them all is recommended insofar because you get really awesome items. As for the items you had to surrender at the beginning of The Pitt, yes, you will get them back once you beat the Arena and are summoned to the Pitt Boss Ashur.
I'm not gonna write another lengthy guide to each spot of all the metal ingots, since there are tons of them already on the internet. Take this for example, all the spots for all the ingots!
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. HD gameplay clips!
H.A.W.X. is out! Folks are playing it and the game is getting mixed reviews!
Folks who are die hard fans of simulators a la IL2-Sturmovik or similar ones WILL be disappointed by HAWX if they hope to get a modern substitute for their good ol' simulator.
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is by no means a flight simulator game. It is an arcade flight simulator. Emphasis on ARCADE. The whole game is made so easy with its arcade elements it's ridiculous.
Still the game offers a great deal of fun if you like the occasional dogfights against your friends or if you want a quick co-op session.
Get it if you can't be bothered with it being an arcade flight simulator; ditch it if you are a die hard realism flight simulator fan!
I play it too and got you a few game-play clips:

Must-Have High-Res Texture Packs for Fallout 3
With my system (specs are at the end) I usually play games on 1920 x 1200 with 16xAF and 0xAA (ocassionally 2xAA). Now I love Fallout 3, take my blog name and think 
.
I usually use High Resolution Textures Mods ranging from 1024x1024 quality upwards to 4096x4096. But bear in mind, higher resolution textures means more graphic card RAM and generally a powerful PC is necessary. If you aren't sure if your PC can handle it don't install every texture pack at once. Install one, test one, install the next one, test the next one, etc.
So far I've come across this packs I really think will up your quality a lot.
- Hi-Res Weapons or 4Aces HiRes Weapons, the name says it all. A lot of weapons textures will now be in higher resolution.
- Terrain pack and the addon Terrain pack Rocks. Terrain, the most important part of Fallout 3. You'll spend a lot of your time outside.
- Rivet City Texture pack, the City Rivet will now look much more detailed!
- Megaton Texture pack or Megaton Re-Done Texture pack, enjoy Megaton in a much higher detail.
- 4Aces HiRes Armor, all armor is higher detail.
- High Definition Texture Pack or 4Aces HiRes Pack (Textures and Meshes), then there's the random HD pack. Some other textures you'll want to have. If you are asked to overwrite, decline. Only copy the new textures or overwrite smaller files with bigger files. It usually means the bigger file is the better quality.
To use custom made textures and mods, you need to Invalidate. Which is why you'll need ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated .
With those six Packs you'll up the quality of your Fallout 3 by a lot! Now there are a lot of other small hi-res textures for all sort of stuff. For example for Vault Doors, Historical Documents, Skill Books and much, much more.
Just look for "hi-res Fallout 3" on google.com or Fallout 3 Nexus and you'll be baffled.
My system specs are: CPU: E6600 @ 3GHZ, 9x333 | MoBo: P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP | RAM: 4GB A-Data Vitesta Ext. Edt. 800Mhz@833 | GPU: PowerColor HD4870 1GB
Enjoy your Fallout 3 in much more detail, Don Salva.
PS: Check out this screenshots galleries Fallout 3 & Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage.
PPS: Get the HiRes Texture Packs for all the DLC's too
Addendum 17.05.2010:
Like a lot of people who have large amount of mods, especially texture mods, I've experienced frequent crashes to desktop. This is due the fact that Fallout 3 is a 32Bit game and is programmed in such a way to make use of maximum 2GB of RAM. If you have, say 4GB RAM or more, Fallout 3 makes no use of it.
Fear not, there has been a solution since last year which I completely missed up until a few months ago. Large Address Aware Enabler for FO3 or FO3 RAM Boost. Either one works and reduces the crashes to almost a nonexistence.
