Okay this is my last proper post before the exams (unless I write another ). Thought I’d talk about some computer thing so I warn you now! If you don’t understand something the best thing to do is just put the name at the end of a wikipedia url for example bios: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS will be the url for the explanation of a BIOS.
Day 1 Dad comes home with a PC he’d bought for work a while ago and wants a general service (new Hard Disk, format and install OS and applications etc). I take a look at it and I’m like hold up, this is better then our my PC. He isn’t...

Splinter Cell: Double Agent has been announced a few days ago. 2 Movies have been released and IGN had an interview with Daniel Roy from Ubisoft.
IGN: The double agent aspect sounds like it’s more intrinsic to the game’s overall design than just the story plotline. Can you talk a bit about this?
Daniel Roy: You’re absolutely right! When we came up with the Double Agent concept, we thought long and hard on what it could mean for the gameplay, especially in the context of Splinter Cell. For instance, as a double agent, you will be given dual, sometimes contradictory objectives...

EA and DICE are pleased to announce that today, after two weeks of Closed Beta testing, we are releasing the first public version of the Battlefield 2 editor! Over the last couple of days you’ve probably seen some of the outstanding work that the Closed Beta teams have created using the tools, and now we’re giving everyone else the chance to join the fun. Keep in mind that we are considering this release "Beta" software, so it’s still a little rough around the edges, though we’ve worked out many of the kinks. Also, though most core functionality is editable as...

I found this article on Wired News about Christian Games, oh yeah, they exist. There appears to’ve been a Christian Game Developers Conference recently on which they’ve showcased some new games like this one: Timothy and Titus.
players assume the roles of the two disciples of St. Paul who spread the gospel throughout the ancient Mediterranean.
Instead of the health and weapons points used in other role-playing games, players collect love, hope and faith points to power their missions. When they meet foes, instead of fragging them as in Halo 2, the disciples earn their halos by praying...
Edit July 17th: SWAT 4 Patch 1.01 has been released – avaliable here.
OK I’m going to admit – I’ve been busy and what have you, to be honest i’ve not played SWAT4 enough to even make the fansite. To be honest I was quite dissapointed with the game on a whole and i’d like to post a review that was commented on this post by a reader:
Now that Swat4 is out.. let me say this.. IT SUCKS ROYAL YOU KNOW WHAT!! None of the FPS fans I have played with like it a bit.
I played Swat3 DM’s and TDM’s from 2000 through 2005 and loved it as a FPS game. The tactical...

Just found this article on the BBC news site:
A Shanghai online gamer has been given a suspended death sentence for killing a fellow gamer.
Qui Chengwei stabbed Zhu Caoyuan in the chest when he found out he had sold his virtual sword for 7,200 Yuan (£473).
The sword, which Mr Qui had lent to Mr Zhu, was won in the popular online game Legend of Mir 3.
Attempts to take the dispute to the police failed because there is currently no law in China to protect virtual property.
Appeal plea
Buying and selling gaming artefacts such as imaginary weapons is a booming business on the web.
