It’s not much time now until the new SimCity (SimCity 5?) gets released.
This new video shows more and more how the new SimCity is played.
Looks very promising and I hope they’ll get it done until the currently
planned release date (February 2013).

Well… 12 hours after the launch, it seems as if the patience of many players
is still stressed to the maximum. A good friend of mine is still unable to log
on to most of the servers she has chars on. Annoying and frustrating.
Blizzard knew what would happen upon the Go-Live of the new addon.

So there we have the launch of the new addon. Exactly at midnight, Blizzard
activates the quest NPC who allows you to enter the new lands of Pan-
daria. However the euphorism is dampened soon when coming to the NPC
where an estimated 1000 players are also waiting to activate the quest.

The Playstation 3 is now over 6 years old, yet it seems to be a very reliable
and profitable multimedia gaming station for Sony. And so it’s not very
surprising, that Sony has announced another “redesign” of the PS3. Slimmer,
lighter and a breezy new design anno 2012 is the motto.

It seems as if today it’s a big patch day acoming to all players of
Diablo III and WoW. Blizzard updates Diablo III to Patch 1.04
and WoW is being prepared for MoP. Especially the WoW-Patch
may become larger as lots of things are changed.

Perhaps many of you have already noticed. Blizzardn started delivering another
big patch for WoW that is approximately 5GB in size. Its contents are not yet
known except that the Horde is to evict the Alliance from Theramore and the
new talent tree system is to be introduced which is most like the one in Diablo 3.

Newest member is the 3DS XL which gives the 3DS another tuneup in size.
This lineup will show the last 3 years of Nintendo’s handheld inventions and
give you an idea what to expect. Enjox this little overview and review!

Earlier this year I have wrote an article about Maxis to release Simcity 5.
It seems as if Maxis has shown more and more details to this game on the
E3 Game Convention in Los Angeles and also stated the release date to
roughly February 2013. With this post, some more videos are now online!

It seems as if the problems around Diablo III still won’t stop. Today another
god mode bug, this time for the wizard has hit Blizzard very hard. Rumors
about a wanted advantage for a small amount of the gamers do the round.
All those, who play the game the honest way, are angry and annoyed.

You probably know this very well. You’re on Inferno difficulty and hitting Act 2.
But as soon as you start wandering the desert fields and running into champion
groups, you find yourself being slain very quickly although your equipment
is good. yet it seems as if Blizzard has risen the difficulty to an unhealthy level.

Continue Reading

Patch 1.0.3 has been just released offering some easing but also some
annoyances. While playing the game on Act II Inferno, I again had to face
some annoying things. Among these are classical: champion groups having
two or more magic attibutes and dealing massive amounts of damage.

It seems as if Logitech still has the power to draw attention to it’s products.
The G600 seems to fill the gap between a gamer mouse and the possibility
to control a MMORPG without the use of a keyboard at all. But what makes
the G600 so special against other mice from other manufacturers.

Probably one of the most-discussed features in the past weeks. The
auction house where you can purchase items for real money! Initially it
should open on May, 26th, the date has been moved to June, 13th and
when checking yesterday, the date says June, 15th…

It seems as if the troubles around Diablo III aren’t going to stop. Have recent
logon problems already gone for good, there’s the next issue upcoming. More
and more people are reporting their skilled and hard-played characters to be
stripped down (=their account being hacked) without having any clue, why!

So there we have the Beta invite and with it, the access to the upcoming
sequel to Cataclysm. So what’s ahead of us? The 4th Extension of WoW and
with it, a complete new experience and a brand new race to fight it’s way thru
Azeroth. What makes it worthwile to play? A short experience report.

So there it is. The most-expected game of Blizzard for the last 18 months. And
the first impressions are somewhat awesome! So what did I expect from
Diablo III? At first: The simplicity and the cool Hack’n’Slay-style I used to
have in Diablo II (LoD). Second: Cool graphics. The result? Read more now!

On the GDC 2012 EA and Maxis have shown a new version of SimCity. Simcity 4
is the newest version of the game since 2004, offering a sort-of-isometric view
and real 3D objects ingame. The game depth was really high but not higher than
in Simcity 3000 (published in 1998). I’m a big fan, who has played the original.

Ever wondered why people print out websites? No? Even I had doubts but ever more I can
understand people who print out certain websites as in today’s times it gets more and more
difficult to find specific content. Best example which led me into frustration: I was searching for
a walkthrough guide on Kid Icarus 3D Classics on the 3DS. No problem, you say? JFGI?

Today I am posting a FollowUp on Rosiv’s blog, where he wrote about his
experience. The reason why? because I started playing WoW thru him. Funny
Story anyways. Up to date I was not that keen on playing MMORPGs and
mostly played games such as SimCity 4, Diablo 2 and Command&Conquer.

It seems as if the new southern island GPUs are right on track when you read first reviews
about them. My favourite GPU test site Guru3D has checked on these and even managed
to do a Crossfîre scaling test with the new 7970 GPU. The results are promising and it
seems that the power consumption has been held in place or even dropped a little.

…just kidding! This man is simply the best chess player in the world. But why
this bumptious title then? Well… you know I try to beat the AI on my chess
game on the iPhone with the highest number of queens on the checkerboard
ever possible (it’s nine btw.) – Till yesterday I managed to get eight on it!

Continue Reading

Remember September 12th? Where I stated that 8 (EIGHT!) queens to get is
almost impossible to achieve as the AI tends to get stalemate before replacing
7 pawns into queens? Seems as if I finally did otherwise. What previously
looked like an unsolvablepuzzle, finally solved up. Not so difficult at all!

Finally Diablo III seems to come to stores in near future.
Where Amazon still only does preorders, a local store here
in Bern does so, too but upon question when the game will release,
they say that probably November, 20th will be THE date.

Usually it is very hard to convince me of a game. especially those type of game
where you pay on a monthly subscribe fee like World of Warcraft… but with the
advice of a good friend of mine who invited me to a 21 days trial, I finally
decided to upgrade my account to a paid subscription one.

Today I am writing about a new Game I discovered in the PSN store. So
I downloaded the demo to play it for some time and see if I like it. It
took approx 30 minutes of gaming and I decided to spend 15 CHF
for the game as it is really catching and making you play several hours.
