Iron Grip: Warlord - Review (PC)
Iron Grip: Warlord is a game done by a small games company called Isotx and is up for the award of best Indie Game of the Year. The general gist of the game is that you’re a soldier trying to protect your stronghold from incoming invaders, and there’s no shortage of enemies to kill, believe me!
I have to admit, when I first started playing the game I didn’t think much to it, but I plugged away and built up my power and unlocked bigger guns and then the fun started!
Google Street View (UK)
It’s been announced that Google Street View is coming to the UK!
The first cities in the UK to be included as part of Google Street View will be London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh – Google cars equipped will the special cameras for this task have been out and about in these areas in the past few months, so it’s expected that the images captured will be implemented in Google Street View for the UK by spring 2009.
In case you haven’t heard of Google Street View before, it is basically an addition to Google’s already impressive mapping services which form their online Google Maps website, Google Maps mobile software, their Google Earth desktop software application and Google Earth iPhone App. This added feature of Street View means that as well as seeing a location in map form and from a satellite view, you can now ‘go down to street level’ and navigate around using a 360° horizontal and 290° vertical panoramic interface that allows you to travel virtually around an area.
Pioneer KURO Plasma TVs
Pioneer recently introduced a new range of plasma TVs to its already comprehensive line-up that they have on offer. I’ve been a big fan of Pioneer products ever since I started getting into Home Cinema when DVDs first appeared and given I’m now casting my eye on potential upgrades to my 32” Samsung LCD TV, these 50” Pioneer KURO Plasma TVs look very good!
These limited edition models certainly add to the exclusivity of the Pioneer KURO models, in this case they feature white and beige cases and are just 64mm in depth! This way the case frames are distinctive, but shouldn’t be too distracting given the deep black colours that these TVs’ pictures offer.
Cybermen Leader Helmet
If the Cybermen scared you, then get a load of this guy!
You can now buy the Cyber Leader Helmet from the Christmas 2008 Special of Doctor Who with built-in voice changer!
So have you got a younger sibling who you want to scare on a night (not the we’re condoning that kind of behaviour), or maybe your parents still have bad memories from their childhood and you want to get some revenge or just generally want to be evil and scare them for kicks?
Jak and Daxter 5: The Lost Frontier Announced
Whilst browsing the web at work today (because I’m just that busy), I came across the recent list of when and what PS3 games are being released in 2009.
As you may have gathered, after scrolling about three quarters down the page, I saw the title ‘Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier’ and I made the whole office jump when I screamed “YEAH BABY!!” at the top of my voice. It was however, on the US list, but NOT the UK list. No surprise there then. But I can’t seeing it being that far behind the US release.
