Newly released for wiz



This is a fresh port from the latest sources of "Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid" by Parallel Realities.

I've refined GUI rendering for the small screen and added a non-scaled rendering mode while playing.

Please refer to README.WIZ for more.

New special offer from Play Asia



After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea.

Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.

BioShock forces you to question the lengths to which you will go and how much of your humanity you will sacrifice...to save your own life.

BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies.

Chainsaws, rifles and fountains of blood uncensored. Bioshock the PlayStation3 version is available for an unbeatable bargain price of US$ 13.90 only.

Microsoft's on again off again relationship with Peter Molyneux's Kinect project Milo & Kate appears to be on again.

Last week at the TEDGlobal Conference in Oxford Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux said Microsoft had no plans to release Milo & Kate, according to a BBC report.

A fortnight previous, Microsoft mouthpiece Aaron Greenberg said "right now it's not a game" before changing his mind, after which Lionhead boss Molyneux waded in and said Greenberg's original comment was based on out-of-date information.

But according to Greenberg, who we spoke to last night, there's still a chance that Project Milo will be released.

"You can see that it's definitely not just a tech demo," Xbox product director Aaron Greenberg told Eurogamer in an interview published elsewhere on the site.

"They're building something that's pretty unique and compelling. We leave it up to Peter and his team to determine what that game is and when it would come to market. All we've said is that at this point in time it's not coming this holiday. But as you can see it's definitely quite a bit more than just a tech demo.

"What that turns out to be and how it gets brought to market all remains to be seen. We're fortunate to have one of the brilliant creators of our industry pushing the boundaries of creativity with this project. It's been exciting for people that have seen a preview of it. He's [Peter Molyneux] best to speak to about what this product will eventually become."

So it's Molyneux's decision whether it gets released?

"There are a whole variety of factors. But for now it's in Peter's hands. Peter serves as our creative director for all of our studios in Europe. What that turns out to be and all those details remain to be seen. It's not something we're bringing to market this holiday, so we're going to be a bit more vague about it than if it was launching in a couple of months."

If, like us, you're having a bit of trouble keeping up, read Ellie Gibson's account of an evening interacting with Milo.

Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades has told Eurogamer that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves can already be considered the "pinnacle" of its genre.

The problem being that Antoniades' new game Enslaved - with its motion-captured performances and Hollywood blockbuster approach - treads on very similar boards to Naughty Dog's masterpiece.

"It's never good to be compared with something that's already the pinnacle of its genre," blurted Antoniades at Develop last week. "It makes you slightly uneasy."

"I'm okay with people comparing it to Uncharted [2] because it's in the same genre. But, bloody hell, that's a lot to live up to."

Despite his praise, Antoniades doesn't believe that cinematic games such as Uncharted and Heavy Rain have yet mastered their craft.

"I'm not going to single out Uncharted [2], but the best games out there in storytelling still fall short of the nuances of films," he declared.

"When we're doing Enslaved and the story and the character and everything we're not looking at other games, we're looking at movies and achieving that level of cinematic performance.

"We've got a good shot at delivering a strong story where the talent behind it actually matters," he added.

That talent hasn't come cheap. Ninja Theory has ensnared none other than Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Weeks Later, Sunshine) to co-write the game, and rubber-faced actor Andy Serkis (Gollum, King Kong, Ian Dury) to star in and direct motion-capture.

Those are bigger names than Uncharted 2: Among Thieves'. Will the critics be more severe because of them?

"I've never really thought about that, to be honest," Antoniades responded, nervously.

Enslaved will be released in October on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Rockstar is working on a fix patch for Red Dead Redemption that aims to put dirty multiplayer cheaters out of business, and says it will ban anyone found to be cheating.

"We'd just like to let all fans and players of Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer know that we're aware a few rotten apples persist in the online world, trying to make the experience unpleasant for everyone else," said Rockstar.

"We are actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on," estimating that the patch for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will be released "within the next month".

Rockstar also threatens use of the ban hammer. "Those who have been detected to be cheating beyond a shadow of doubt will be promptly banned from the Red Dead online world for a period of our discretion."

It didn't detail exactly what will be fixed in the patch, only saying that it'll "include measures to counter hacking and cheating", and "some anti-grief relief with some new features in Free Roam".

Rockstar explains that second part: "Those who are being bullied repeatedly in Free Roam will be given the option to flee by Transporting and respawning in a region of the map of their choosing. And those who are bullying repeatedly will face a new challenge: when a player gets a 6 kill streak in Free Roam, they will become "Most Wanted." This alerts other players of their status as a player-killer, and also sends NPC law response after them.
