Attention Blood Thirsty Gamers!!! Turok for pc will quench your bloodlust!!!

Posted in: Gaming |

 

Based on Epics Unreal 3 Engine, this next-gen title definately delivers

You play the games main character Turok, the typical soldier with a troubled past fighting his way through impossible odds with an an arsenal of lethal weapons:

The Bow, Knife, SMG, Shotgun, Chaingun, Pulse rifle, Flamethrower, Sticky, Bomb Pistol, pistol, & Grenades

Their are minor details in the enviornments that could use a few tweaks, but the level enviornments are well done with tight graphics and framerates

The story line is typical yet still keeps one intersted in the overall gaming experience and the action people, is freakin’ BRUTAL.

So brutal, the game becomes somewhat tedious and overwhelming at points yet it does it in a way that drives the player to the brink of actually

loving the abuse and has them begging for more.

From small seamingly harmless dinosaurs to the mighty T-Rex and to what seams at times like hordes of well armed enemy soldiers, this game throws everything at you along with the faucet from the kitchen sink tied to a grenade.

Aside from the very minor almost nit picky graphics issues, Terminator as my witness, Turok will not disappoint

GAME TAP - Hit it, or quit it?

Posted in: Game Tap, Gaming |

A few months ago while burning the midnight oil, I decided to check out Ted Turner owned subscription based game service GAME TAP.

At first glance I thought, “yeah rite! Another game site where they charge you a fairly low fee and give you access to crap no one wants to play”. WRONG! After downloading the free player it took me to a free games category where I found Tomb Raider Legend. Needless to say the addiction had a stranglehold on me. The game downloaded fairly quick and easy using a Comcast cable modem (about 1 hr. 15 mins.) with easy to read and understand user menus and prompts.

Last time I checked Game Tap had Nearly 1000 game titles to choose from and the list is growing.

I purchased Game Tap’s 1-month trial for 99 cents and upgraded to their gold package after the trial for $7.99 per month with the option to purchase the service for an entire year for about 70 bucks

Customer service is great also. I experienced a problem with a game called Rogue Trooper late one night and called tech support as a last ditch effort, and Game Tap’s tech guided me through a few menus, a spot on msconfig, a reboot and everything was pimpin’!

If you’re an avid gamer like me I highly recommend this service.

Latest Version 2.9.0 of Fraps has just been released.

Posted in: Free, Gaming, Video Capture, Vista |

According to the Fraps 2.9.0 Release Notes this is what’s new.

“Fraps release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10 games. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now all fully supported for these titles.”

With more DX10 games coming to store shelves, it will be good to see some more DX10 game video coming online.“ Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. Fraps can take advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. This allows you to capture in-game audio even if you are using a USB headset or other audio device which does not normally support a “Stereo Mix” or “What U Hear” recording input.”

This is very good to hear.

“Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. You can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like any other game or 3D application.”

Other fixes are:

Added support for DirectX 10
Added option to monitor Desktop Window Manager under Vista
Added Direct Stream sound recording for Vista
Fixed screen tearing in video captured from DX9 games
Fixed G15 LCD output running fast on Vista machines
Improved resource sharing with multithreaded games
Added numerous crash and compatibility fixes

I always liked Fraps for capturing gaming video and love to see they’re keeping the software updated. You can try Fraps for Free by clicking here.

Basics of PSP Software

Posted in: PSP |

So you just brought a new Playstation Portable? or perhaps you have had one for a while and are getting bored with the same old games that suck. This is going to be the first “Dark Tip” for the blog. This is a bit more geeky than the average user would do so this might not be in taste for you.

Firstly you are going to want to be able to find out your firmware. The way to do this is to go to your menu (ie. Photos, Music, Video, Game) and go to settings. Then you need to go to the System Settings and then System Information . If your firmware is 2.00 to 2.80 then you can get home brew through various  images that creates a buffer overflow. If you are higher than that firmware you should upgrade to 3.03 IF you have a unpatched version of Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories. You can find out if you have an unpatched version by checking out the update included on the UMD. If it is 2.00 then you are safe and can have home brew. If it isn’t then currently there is no luck for home brew. The next steps for those who can take a while to write up and would result in a very long post so i will link you to the necessary tutorials. If you have 1.50 or 1.00 you already are perfect for tweaking the PSP.
