For all you Halo fanboys, this must be a little piece of your dreams come true.
It’s very cool and in HD, so a caution to those with less zesty net access.

We all know the story: Little Company (say Brisbane based Pandemic,) gets in on the ground level, putting out great work in a field that is growing and starting to get some mainstream exposure.

Review: Resident Evil: Extinction

October 19th, 2007 – 3:56 am Posted by: Kyle

To be honest, I have never seen any of the other Resident Evil movies or played any of the games. Shameful, I know, but it does provide me the vantage point of viewing the film on its own terms. As for understanding the plot, I had no trouble. All the information you need going into [...]

Australian media is an important part of the Australian sociology and economy. So it’s always good when non-profit organisations like the Australian Teachers of Media (ATOM) contribute greatly to Australian media in general and award those who excel in its various fields.

CAPCOM have been teasing for a while, but now intentions are clear. Today a trailer for Street Fighter IV hit the net to the awe of many fans worldwide.

I hope by now the majority of Electronic Arts management and share holders are walking around with monocles and top hats. As if the developing/distributing giant wasn’t large enough, EA recently bought both well-known developers Bioware Corp and Pandemic Studios.
