I had registered my game with the company when i first bought it but was amazed to know that i was getting a free upgrade to the game for free. I got it on the email and accepted the offer and i had to fill out my address and so on and said that i should receive a new cd in a week or two with lots more maps and weapons :D Anyways, free stuffs are always fun but i love battle field games. Just the online play tho. I hate to play it offline as all the challenges i get are computer. human touch to the game is totally different and your playing with someone who can shoot u back , unlike the computer programmed shooters who you can easily fool like the time i went from back of the guy and shot him and he never looked back. Game programmers need to really think about all this.

As usual, I was playing my favorite game midnight club 3. For those of you who don't know what this game is. Its a nice car racing game. From the first time i bought this game i started to do offline races and won all the nice cars. After that i stopped playing offline and just played online as its more fun playing with real humans than computers . When i used to play Midnight Club 2 on computer, me and my friends used to modify the files of the games and make cars faster and other great stuff on it but i though it was not possible to do it on consoles. Seems some people have edited mc3's files and burned it back on a cd for ps2 and have started to cheat on the game. I was racing as usual and this guy came super fast. And do tricks that were not even available for the game and i asked him to teach me and he told me that that he had modded the game. So i copied my game files to computer and looked over the files and most of the files were same as might night club 2 so i edited few things to make me go faster and ripped the files back to cd and used my magic swap to get online with a ripped files cd and was amazed that it worked flawlessly and then in few minutes. Everyone who saw me started asking me how i am doing it and annoyed me so much and i put my default cd back on to play it the normal way because i don't support cheating on the game. so guys go ahead mod your mc3. Till next time.

Hero online is a Chinese/Japanese MMORPG based game. You can find the synopsis of the game by clicking here. The game offers you a selection of characters to play as using both sex's. Each character is unique and has different abilities and skills for the player to earn and use. As most MMORPG's the game has the traditional gold system, amour, weaponry and mounts and pets such as Bears, Wolfs, Horses, Eagles. The story of the game is based on a ancient legend, the hero, Qin Shi Huangdi (also known as Qin Shi Huang) that was said to put a end to chaos. The game is very popular and is played over 10 thousand times a day with people from all over the globe. The game was released in Jul 31, 2006 for the US and got popular VERY quick. As most MMORPG's, the game includes a buying system called the hero tavern where you buy special credits with real life money, Then buy better items for your character with the special credits. The game has a full moderation team. The game is quite slow when a bug pops up, but they get it resolved as soon as they can. The game is actually quite hard to get used to, since i have played the game myself, The learning curve is something between 6-10 with 10 being the hardest and 1 the easiest. The game is free to play, as i said before its optional to pay for extra items. The game dose actually HAVE nice players that will most likely help you. The game also includes other systems such as party's which is quite useful when you want to level quick. Just recently the game developed there two different sides, Zhaung being the good side (Blue) and Shao being the bad side (Red/Orange) Unfortunately you are now forced to choose a side upon registration. The main problem with this is that, If two people want to party up, but they are both on separate sides, it will not allow them. The game also has a guild system, i haven't fully explored this yet. Why don't you check the game out for yourself?

Linerider, when you first look at the game. It will look childish but its popularity has gotten it to be made it into a retail version of the game as well. It was created by some students for an assignment for college. Its a simple game . made using flash and basic function. Anyone with basic knowledge would be able to make it but no one really though of this till these guys did. Game is really stupid and crazy but once u know how the game works then its quite fun to play i would have to say. What you do is you make line and a a small cartoony guy in a sleigh comes and goes around where u made the lines and falls if the line discontinues or so on. When i first saw this game i was like what is this 2nd grader's game? but later saw its popularity and was amazed at how many people have played this game. I asked few of my friends if they have played it and they were like . you just found out about this game? You guys should check the game out. you can play it at linerider.com

I ate too much this summer and now i though it was time for me to go to a gym to get back in shape after a long lazy summer. Manhattan is very expensive place here in USA. I wanted to get the best deal for gym membership. Suddenly i saw this Nintendo Wii game place or i though it was a game store. When i got in i found out that they were charging $110 per hour with personal trainer with a Nintendo Wii. I am like, Are you kidding me? Now i started to get an idea myself to open a gym myself. I had a Nintendo Wii and some noobie Mario games for it. I could charge people just 50$ and maybe all their custumers would come to me. Jokes Apart. I talked to Evan, a personal Trainer. She told me that game (Mario's rotund physique) doesn't just gets the heart pumping and makes the fatties lose some pounds. :D while having fun. Evan also told me that her client's heart beat goes up to 140 to 150 per minute. She also had recommended me to play tennis and boxing as those were the games that made some people lose some pixels But seriously, Nintendo will is ruining our world. Our kids will be lazy ass skinny kids who might play on Wii all day to make muscles? Generation is moving faster than it should be and some things should remain same as it were 100 years ago like playing real games. Real Tennis or Real Boxing. Games sure are fun but i hope we don't have to regret later in future.

Sales of GTA has been going up in Thailand and seems everyone loves it as much i love GTA but there is a difference between a game and a real life. My friend was telling me he wants another child after his computer been having problem too much since kids now days learn so fast. A teenager in Thailand confessed on robbing and killing a taxi driver. Seems he has been playing GTA just too much. I wouldn't be surprised if some teenager wore armors and went to school and tried to kill his fellow friends. I hope he can reload his life and do a fresh start when he gets out of jail. I also heard in news last night that some kid jumped over 10 story building hoping that superman would come and save him. unfortunately superman was busy playing GTA. For last time there is no real superman but don't be so sure about that regarding batman tho. Well, I am warning all of you guys not to believe too much on these fairly land stuff because they are only good to see on tv and play them but don't ever try to actually do it! or else you will end up as that Thailand Guy! :O But i wonder how it would feel to live such life.. like lets say world of warcraft, It sure would be fun to wear those cool armors and kill monsters and doing what you want without any consequences. That would be a care free wonderful life but unfortunately life is not like that or else i would be killing another goblin in runescape right now and would own 10 cars on GTA.
Also guys don't forget to comment on this article telling me of the funny things you know about games taking over real life. I would love to hear the comments from you guys! and did you know you can subscribe to our RSS feed and be update with latest news. Till next time!

In a not entirely surprising move, Swedish online game developer Lockpick Entertainment today announced that their anticipated Free-2-Play MMORTS game Dreamlords The Reawakening will launch on Wednesday June 18 (this year that is).
A long, hot and intense summer lies ahead…

The waiting is coming to an end and after the physical move of the servers earlier this week the team is ready to release their love child together with the community.

tacy Turner thought any place had to be better than home. Her old man was such a drag! When they weren't fighting, he was devising new and more restrictive punishments in an effort to "get her on the right track."
She didn't see any reason to stay in school either – classes were boring and the teachers were stupid, and she wasn't learning anything she actually needed to know. So one night after yet another fight with her father, Stacy packed a bag, snuck out her bedroom window and struck out on a life of adventure.
Life on the streets of Chicago was a lot harder than she'd thought it would be. But Stacy did what she had to do, and bit by bit she scratched and clawed her way toward survival.
One night Stacy was unlucky enough to walk down the wrong dark alley, and she found herself surrounded and outnumbered by a group of gangers looking for something to steal. Stacy knew the few dollars she had on her wouldn't be enough, and they'd take their anger out on her.
Terrified, she snapped, and her powers manifested in the form of telekinetic knives that ripped her attackers apart. She stole their wallets and used the cash for a ticket on the first bus out of town.
Stacy stayed on the run, moving from city to city as the mood struck her. When she landed in Millennium City for a few days she was approached by a man named Trace, who not only knew who she was, he knew what she could do and what had happened in Chicago. He said he could take her someplace safe, someplace where doctors would help her learn how to use her powers safely and no one would ever be able to hurt her again.
Stacy was suspicious, but Trace eventually won her over. He took her to meet Dr. Sebastian Poe, who taught her new ways to use her powers, and Poe's student Psimon, with whom she felt an instant connection.
Stacy, now calling herself Mind Slayer, became one of PSI's most feared assassins. And when Psimon approached her about joining him in taking over the organization from Poe, she instantly agreed. Now she works in the field on behalf of PSI, but will return to Psimon's side to act as his personal bodyguard.
About Mind Slayer
Mind Slayer is totally loyal to Psimon. To everyone else, she is utterly cold and uncaring. She rarely speaks to anyone but Psimon, and reacts harshly and sometimes even violently to any attempt to engage her in conversation. Other members of PSI have learned to keep their distance as much as possible.
Mind Slayer's powers are all variations on telekinesis, from straightforward mental grabs to shields and psychokinetic fingers. Her favorite uses of her powers are the razor-sharp blades she fashions from pure mental force and uses to slice her opponents to ribbons. She will not hesitate to use lethal force to complete a mission for PSI, and sometimes she'll kill just for the fun of it.
