With Star Wars Galaxies passing the sci-fi series' massively multiplayer online torch to Star Wars: The Old Republic this year, Sony Online Entertainment today detailed the retiring MMO role-playing game's last hurrah. The publisher will pull the plug on Star Wars Galaxies December 15, but not before it declares an ultimate victor in the ongoing battle between the Rebellion and the Empire.

Max Rebo's farewell tour begins September 15.

Starting next month, SOE will run new events and contests challenging players of both sides to rack up Galactic Civil War points. At an as-yet-undetermined time before the game shuts down, the points will be tallied up, and an ultimate winner will be declared for each of the game's servers. Beyond just having a victor declared, that determination will change what happens in the game's last moments on December 15.

To participate in the final run up to the game's demise, gamers will need to have an active Star Wars Galaxies subscription or SOE All Access Game Pass on September 15. That's the last day for users to create new accounts in the game or reactivate old ones. Billing for the game will be turned off October 15, allowing those with active accounts at the time to keep playing free of charge until the game's end.

PES 2012

 Many people will be happy with the recommended requirements of the new PES 2012. The requirements were published in the demo of the game settings. 

PES 2012 promises a good outcome when compared to 2011 with an AI that is smarter.
 The full game is scheduled to be released on October 7 this year for PC, PS2, X360, WII, PS3, PSP, and 3DS. And as has been said, let's see the requirements that are nothing surprising and very light on your PC. From the screen shots and graphics it looks like they are using a point cloud + polygon system, so even with low system requirements it still looks good.

While like most people you won't buy a soccer game but this game should sell a large amount of copies over seas.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, 7
Intel Pentium IV 2.4GHz or equivalent processor
1GB of RAM
Video Card compatible with DirectX 9.0c. 128MB Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA GeForce6600 video card or AMD ATI Radeon X1300)

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:

Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, 7
Intel Core2 Duo 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
2GB RAM
Video Card compatible with DirectX 9.0c. 512MB Pixel Shader 3.0 (ATI AMD RadeonHD2600 or NVidia GeForce 7900 or higher)

Xperia Play

Xperia Play the game-smartphone from Sony Ericsson and there are already reviews on the network. The guys at Kotaku(http://www.kotaku.com.br/conteudo/xperia-play-o-playstation-phone-que-nao-e-tao-playstation-assim/) did a good analysis of the smartphone, it was made ​​mostly for those who enjoy games like me.

For now the price is still a little high US$ 420 .00 for a smartphone, that instead of keyboard has a control similar to the Playstation with a directional pad, start, select, X, square, triangle , O, L and R . The analog controls appear on the screen when needed.

The games are still scarce in some countries, the Playstation- smartphone comes with Crash Bandicoot installed and ready to play and there are more classics of PSOne available. For those who like a lot games and won’t use the smartphone for other serious (productive!) things can it is a good option, it may be better to wait a while for prices to drop and more games become available.

Many people down about 3D gaming are they wrong?

Nielsen statistics showing 71% of gamers had said they want to play their games in 3D, as well as noting that 3DTV uptake was running faster than HDTV had been at a similar point in its lifecycle – and that 40-50% of the market would be 3DTVs by 2015.
3D TV sales have been slower than expected but most of that is due to factors that no one could predict like the Euro debt crisis and the Arab spring throwing the markets in to upheaval.
Still through that all the major TV manufacturer are pumping up supplies and selling 3D TVs with it looking like its going to stay when the market up turns this year we can see some expectations for 10-15% of total TVs at X-mas will be 3D TVs. With a whopping 50% in just 4 years. Check out this great deal for an 47" LGLW5300  that includes a blu ray player and glasses all for only $1,099!!

Counter Strike: Global Offensive

For those of you who just got the internet yesterday, counter strike has been a gaming phenomenon for over a decade.
This new release will be no exception to the rule its slated for Xbox,ps3, and PC.
Check out the CG trailer below.


It's easy to forget how unforgiving Counter-Strike can be. Valve's competitive online shooter truly rewards the skilled and stomps all over the newcomers. There are no Call of Duty-style kill streaks, no artillery barrages to call in or packs of dogs to let loose. It's just you, your guns, a few grenade types and your ability to react. Map knowledge, teamwork and quick reflexes are the only things that matter.  -from IGN

Vengeful families on Skyrim

One new feature in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can change your way of acting in-game. If you're used to killing NPCs that pisses you off in the game because they stuck you not letting you pass or something, know that in the new The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may have a family.
This implies that if you kill a NPC coldly without reason, his family may want a revenge and will chase you until you are lying on the floor rotting. That's right, the families of the NPCs will want to revenge the death of their loved ones.
 So it is better to act cautiously in Bethesda's new game that will be released on 11/11/11 for

 PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. There are hints that this come will be also released as a 3D game for the ps3 and Xbox no word on the PC yet. Hopefully for all you Cinema 3D fans that can come true.

Golden Eye for Wii

Much has been said of this game that is to be revealed by Activision. What is said in every corner of the web is that Goldeneye Reloaded will be a 007 remake for Wii which is based on the Nintendo 64 GoldeneEye 007.

The game is considered a classic and is about to be released for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in HD. Let's wait for Comic-Con San Diego  to have further information. For now we can enjoy some screenshots of the 007 remake for Wii, Goldeneye Reloaded.

Dirt 3 impressive graphics

Dirt 3 has more than lighting effects, has the ability to make you think you're watching a real race. This is due to the fact that Code masters have done an excellent job on the graphics of this game.

Among many racing games and driving simulations these days, Dirt is so good that can compete equally with every games of its kind. Watch the video and draw your own conclusion. Dirt 3 was officially launched May 24, 2011, what are you waiting for to buy it?

3D gaming has come along way in a year!

"Carmi Levy threw some cold water on the concept in a recent article on Betanews where he argued that the lack of content, the lack of distribution (only some 3D Blu-ray discs will exist, certainly no television signals for the foreseeable future), lack of affordability ($3000.00 for a TV, $250.00 for the glasses) and lack of relevance (like I said, serious real-life dramas don’t translate well into 3D) make excitement about 3D TVs the equivalent of geek hyperventilation. I have to agree. I have no intention of running out and buying a 3D TV anytime soon. I’m sure a friend of mine who runs a business installing high-end theater systems for rich Hollywood types will find customers for them, but for me, money IS an object.

In fact, a product coming this Fall to the XBOX would be a PERFECT fit for a 3D gaming future. Nintendo popularized the motion controller with the Wii, and Sony is essentially cloning that concept for the PS3. Microsoft has taken a different tack, opting to dispense with controllers altogether and map your motions so that they can be integrated into the gaming experience.The technology is part of Project Natal (whose go-to-market product name isn’t set in stores yet, as far as I know), and it would be a perfect fit for a 3D gaming experience. Imagine a boxing game where the opponent is essentially standing in front of you (in 3D). I love dark games like “Left 4 Dead”, “Dead Rising,” “Fallout 3″ and “Gears of War.” Those games would absolutely freaking rock in 3D. Whole generations of gamers will probably sit far closer to the TV than mom says you should, but that’s a problem for their eye doctors. Natal seems uniquely suited to making the 3D experience more interesting from a gaming standpoint." -Zd net 2010

As you can see most of this came true with Call of duty black ops here in 3D if you want to see it (above). 3D gaming has made huge leaps in only a year. With LG changing to passive 3D gone are the days of $250 or $150 glasses, now are the days of $10 glasses to play with your friends! With a full set of glasses and a large 3D TV now available for LG either the 47" LW5300 priced at only $1099 a large great 3D gaming tv or if you need a larger TV for your gaming and love movies too; the LGLW5300 is 55" with a 3D blu ray and glasses for 4 at only $1,499  so cheap!
With Modern warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 both in 3D for 2011 which both will sell over $500,000,000 you have to figure that 3D gaming is here to stay.

Mysterious Sonic video

Sega released a mysterious video on facebook , showing a new trailer for the Sonic game series
Showing Sonic running along with your old version, of Genesis age.
 Sonic turned 20 years-old in July and the company says the video was a hint of how the new Sonic game will be. The game will be known as "Sonic Generations", the game is being developed for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and should be released later this year

Actually the video was pretty cool, it reminded my first video game, I played on the Sega game gear!  

Mega Meshes amazing graphics

The power of processing on consoles, everyone knows is limited, you can’t upgrade. But the lack of hardware does not stop the graphic level of games from evolving.

Using a common Xbox 360, you can produce amazing graphics with this new technology shown at GDC 2011 and programmed by Ben Sugden of Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, called Mega Meshes.
Consoles can’t be upgraded, but the way companies produce games for consoles, can. This will bring a new line of games which will be compared to the old ones and will blow them out of the water in graphics.

Street Fighter vs Tekken gameplay

Street Fighter vs Tekken is scheduled to be released next year but there are videos on the internet of the gameplay already, this game is highly anticipated by fans of these two fighting games both with 4 or more games in each of their series .

Here is a 8 minute long gameplay video and shows some characters of both games

It’s been a long time since we had a good brand vs brand fighting game for our consoles...Nowadays there are only FPS, racing simulator, flight simulator games and so on with a few great rpgs here and there. Where are the good old-school games?

Zombies, getting banned or higher ratings world wide!

When a violent videogame actually gets a rating in Australia, it's newsworthy. That's pretty sad. What isn't sad, however, is that Dead Island managed to pull off this feat, allowing Australian gamers to join the rest of the world in some delicious co-op zombie battering.

Dead Island nabbed an MA 15+, the highest age restriction in the country, for its "strong horror violence" and blood. It somehow managed to get the rating in spite of the fact that Left 4 Dead 2 required content editing to get a release.

"Stunningly enough, we didn't do a thing to it," said Deep Silver, when Destructoid asked if it had been edited at all. 

I am legitimately surprised. It took me less than five minutes of playing the game to chop off my first zombie arm. Then I did the legs and head. This game dismembers humanoids by the bucket, and got a rating somehow. Impressive!
