Anyway, to make a long story short, we have a local video game vendor near where I am and I thought I’d peruse the selection. I’ve picked out several games that, while in the states, I have never heard of, but have definitely been enjoying. The first of these games is, Resonance of Fate. Continue Reading

Codemasters have released screenshots from racing sim F1 2012 originally shown at this year’s E3.  The screenshots, although still a work in progress, look pretty good and it’s clear that Codemasters have been improving their Ego engine even more since last year.  However, as with all games, it isn’t just about the graphics and we’re still waiting on Codemasters to release more information on the game which is due for release this September.  Hopefully we’ll see something coming out of the pits in due course with the virtual racing set to start in less than 3 months.

Check out the gallery of screenshots after the break. Continue Reading
