Yo Yo guys.   Some of you may of heard of a place called Omega Sektor which is a LAN game center in Birmingham. On the 9th of August they are having a birthday bash. Tickets will be £10 and the place will be open till 2am.   They will be releasing more information on this soon. I hope to get a group of us going down to this, as I myself plan to attend.   I've also enlightened the people running the Omega Sektor myspace in the ways of Pwned, and urged them to come along, as it'd be greatfor the members of this site, and great for them to get their events known.

Guilty Gear has always been one of my favorite series of fighter games because it greatly impairs our oh-so-beloved button mashers from pwning ass. Take Soul Calibur II for instance: when playing as Rafael, by repeatedly pushing one button, Rafael will rapidly flail his sabre, often leaving the other player no chance to retaliate. The control structure in Guilty Gear is so brilliant because rapidly pushing the punch or kick button won't get you very far: special combos are based mainly on the combination of buttons and quarter or half turns with the joystick or directional pad. It has so far proven to be a very difficult game to master - but isn't that what one looks for? Read More...

All The Videos I Could Round Up For Ya There was a lot going on with E3 yesterday. Way more than I had a chance to keep up with. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is a long list of games and other videos that cam out of the E3 show yesterday. Some of them happened during the press conferences I posted yesterday for Sony and Nintendo, but I just couldn't find ya the videos online. But what's a day late right? Wolfenstein It's short and sweet, but from the looks of it, it looks absolutely beautiful. Read More...

So due to real life BS, I missed out on reporting a few new and cool things yesterday, so I am going to hook up the cut now. Gotta thank one of my favorite sites to keep things up to date for me when that shit happens. But enough about me, here's what you really want to read about. Halo Wars: Two New Clips So due out early next year, is the new Halo RTS. I'm sure you Halo fans have already eaten all of this stuff up. But below is a very nice looking, pre-rendered, video for the game giving a bit of the story the RTS will revolve around. Read More...

I knew I should have waited a bit for the news I put up before. Damn you Microsoft! But at least now I can hit up both of the music games coming out soon. Also got some cool stuff for Guitar Hero to add as well. Official Rock Band 2 Set List! So they finally listed the On-Disc set list for RBII. With some firsts to be listed on there as well. See the snip below. Read More...

Resident Evil 5 Just announced at the Microsoft Conference at E3. Resident Evil 5 will be released on the 13th of March next year (2009). They showed off a bit more of their co-op play and talked a bit about the new organization that isn't Umbrella. So we could maybe see a demo hit by October. Or at least at any other Conventions that Capcom will be at. On a separate note, www.residentevil. Read More...

Max Payne The Movie - Trailer So, I'll get this out there first. I have never played the game before. I've also never seen anyone else play it. So, I have no clue what the game was about and all the little things that could be wrong with the film. It is a Video Game film, so there is already going to be something that most people hate about it. At least fans of the game. Just thought I'd start off with that so you all knew where I was coming from before watching this trailer. Read More...

After 22 fantastic years of the Castlevania series, Konami announced that the latest installment of this series will be out in early 2009. This new installment will take full advantage fo the Wii controls, you will be able to employ numerous amounts of attacks on your enemies. I would imagine the controls would be similar to Zelda, where you use both the Nunchuck and the Wiimote. Where other Castlevania installments have fallen short, this title is going to break the boundries and let the player interact with the surroundings, which of course, will be used to destroy the minions of Dracula. So after being able to toss and destroy you enemies with weapons, you will also be able to use the monsters in the game and set traps for them ;) Not only will this game be insanely fun, it will also have a multiplayer option where you are able to battle 1v1 with your friends.

Sony Combines Zombies And... Google Earth So here's a fun sounding idea. You take zombies and cities. You plot them out on a map. Then you use Google Earth to save all the people who were not ready for Z-Day. Brilliance! And it is call The Last Guy. Sounds a bit like playing Infected only using the top down map view, but still, it is a great idea. Could really help you finalize your zombie plan in your own town. Even though it breaks one of the cardinal rules of Z-Day. Read More...

DC Universe Online Party At Comic Con So, seeing as I am hyped to no end to go this year, you will keep hearing more about this year's Comic Con until probably a week after I get back from it. So deal with it. Yea... So any ways, here is yet another reason to show up this year. DC Universe Online dev.s will be there to talk about the game and they are also hosting a party that people can get into if they are in the know. So I am going to make you, my readers, in the know.

American Ninja Warriors Sought While not exactly a bit of gaming news. But I thought it would be fun to bring it up for anyone on here that missed this. On top of that, when you look at Ninja Warrior, it is a weird kind of Real Life Video Game. I mean it is a mix of Assassin's Creed and Tenchu. And it is hosted by G4 so that could give another merit to gaming and pwnage Looks like G4 is looking to get three people to send off to compete on the Ninja Warrior challenge. If you haven't seen the show, it is where 100 people start out running an obstacle course that test the human body to no end. Everything from Parkour to swinging on chains to spider climbing up glass walls. Read More...

Nintendo Power Reveals Castlevania Judgment For Wii... A 3d Fighter?! So like most people, I was excited to here there was going to be a new Castlevania game. I loved the franchise. But now I'm not sure about this new one. Seeing as it is going to be a fighting game and not the side-scrolling adventure game. Completely different than what I was hoping for. I'm sure it is not something most of you were hoping for. Read More...

New Dead Space Trailer Advises Strategic Dismemberment So let me guess. You saw that title and thought "WTF? I gotta check this out." I know that's what I did when I first saw this. It is also why I clicked onto the video. (See below.) It is about what I was expecting as well. Well maybe not exactly, but I was not let down with what I got from clicking the link and watching the video. So what is this? It is a show of the game Dead Space, a little bit. Read More...
