The last twenty one days have flown by.  Naturally Christmas and the New Year played a big part in that.  It finally dawns on me that it is well into 2010 and I’ve not written a single post in the new year!  Shocking, I know!  I am not going to say whats happening as there are a few little surprises in store over the coming two months.  The website is going to be a little more focused. Seeing as I am both Game Developer and Web designer the site will be restructured to reflect these paths and make navigation a little easier.  The loaner theme will be vanishing at some point.  A fun project with Stargate, spanning 214 days, is also in the works.

I will be back posting the release of DM-Malevolence next week and adding the odd bit of news which catches my attention in the mean time.  In anticipation of  Aliens vs Predator  I’ll say: Stay frosty!

Sorry Joe!

In a heated battle against the X-Factor winner Joe McElderry, “Killing In The Name” clinched the #1 spot on BBC Radio 1’s Official charts show this evening. In fact as I type this I’m listening to it live on BBC right now.

What started as a facebook group sick of X-Factor domination of the Christmas charts turned into an epic battle of music!  Personally I am delighted Rage took the number 1 spot.  This makes UK chart history by being the first ever download only Christmas #1.

Rage have confirmed live on radio that they will indeed honor the free thank you concert in the UK some time during 2010.

Update:  The BBC are now reporting the full story.

The Spike TV Video Game Awards have spawned quite a few nice trailers for upcoming titles. Enjoy!

Love the ending of that MoH trailer!

Bats is back in action!

An interesting new game from 2K.   Could be one to watch.  Looks like the Unreal engine too.

It's no surprise the caped crusader will return

Thats right folks, Rocksteady have released the teaser site for the, as yet unnamed, Arkham Asylum  sequel.  You can view the teaser trailer and sign up for updates at the site arkhamhasmoved.com.  Lets hope it’s as epic as the first game!
