| Hot Rod American Street Drag |

Laikam spēles nopietni spēlēju tikai reizi gadā. Pagājušogad tā bija GTA3. Šogad diezgan negaidīti tā ir "Hot Rod American Street Drag".
Spēle ir no "lētā" gala, jo par to uzzināju tikai pateicoties ISONews. Sākumā pat nevarēju atrast šīs spēles mājas lapu, jo Google piedāvā tikai linkus uz cheatu lapām, bet spēles izstrādātāja lapā nekā derīga arī nav.
Izrādās, ka es neesmu vienīgais, kas šo spēli ir pamanījis, jo Armandoz ir iesūtījis aprakstu par šo spēli Cietnim.
Par spēli: Tā noteikti ir labāka par iepriekšējo Canopy Games ražojumu "Midnight Outlaw Illegal Street Drag Nitro Edition". Atzīšos, ka pats "Midnight Outlaw Illegal Street Drag Nitro Edition" neesmu spēlējis, bet, skatoties no malas kā to dara citi un palasot GameSpy review par šo spēli, neko labu par to nevar pateikt.
"Hot Rod American Street Drag" var lepoties ar diezgan smuku grafisko noformējumu. Tas būtu antialiasing, kas ļauj attēlot mašīnu krāsojuma spīdumu, un blur efekts - bildes izplūšana, kas parādās mašinai sasniedzot noteiktu ātrumu. Diemžēl pēdējais efekts brīžiem var ar traucēt.
Sākumā jau viss ir diezgan vienkārši - uzvaram pretiniekus, līdz ar uzvarām pelnam naudu un pērkam jaunas daļas mašīnai, lai to remontētu vai uzlabotu. Es apstājos tajā brīdī, kad mašina kļuva diezgan jaudīga un to brīžiem vairs nevarēja noturēt trasē. Izbraucot no trases spēlētājs tiek diskvalificēts. Sākumā domāju, ka pie vainas ir švakā šasija, bet saliekot mašīnā visu labāko šasiju un veicot dažādus dzinēja/šasijas regulējumus tā arī neizdevās panākt labu mašīnas vadāmību. Dīvainākais ir tas, ka mašina uzvedas pēc gadījuma rakstura - brīžīem trasi varēja nobraukt bez problēmām, bet brīžiem to nebija iespējams savaldīt.
Spēle pārsteidz ar mazajiem apmēriem, jo CD bilde aizņem tikai 206 MB, kas mūsdienu spēlēm ir smieklīgs izmērs. Bet nav jau tur nekā, kas varētu aizņemt vairāk vietas. Nav mūzikas, trases ir kādas piecas un katra tikai 1/4 jūdzi gara. |

| Midnight Club 2 |
[12. Jul 2003|14:18] |
Tātad ir iznākusi spēle "Midnight Club 2". Principā es to atzīmēju tikai tāpēc, ka to ražojis ir Rockstar Games (GTA). Un spēles home page ir diezgan interesants:
Rockstar Games Presents: Midnight Club 2
The world's most notorious drivers meet each night on the streets of LA, Paris, and Tokyo. Choose from the latest performance enhanced cars and bikes and compete head-to-head to make a name for yourself. There are no rules. Drive anywhere in the city. Find the fastest route to win. The cops know you are out there - don't get caught.

Bungie makes Halo PC commitment
Online play and GPU agnostic release promised.
As the PC world eagerly awaits a version of Halo, the Xbox smash hit and without doubt one of the more important games of recent times, developer Bungie has made some key commitments as to what should be expected.
In a release entitled Halo for PC Development Update, the firm said, “At E3 we showed Timberland and Gephyrophobia, two new multiplayer environments, the Banshee in multiplayer and the new Rocket Launcher, Warthog. Since then, we’ve continued our development work with Gearbox Software…
“In the last five weeks or so, we’ve been focused on two main development challenges: unleashing the full power of our sparkling new network architecture to kick ass on the Internet and making sure we deliver a solid experience on a wide range of hardware configuration and systems. The progress on both fronts is very good and we are on track to hit our current schedule. While I can’t confirm a release date yet. I can confirm that we are internally working towards a solid release date.
“On the design side, you’ve seen it with Timberland – our new environments show an understanding of what game play elements are making the Halo multiplayer experience the insane fun it is. And it’s been our focus: create compelling environments that amplify these elements. For those who played the game at E3, think about all the opportunities to show off your driving skills, think about all the cool snipping spots or how well team-based game play will work on Timberland.”
It seems that now Halo is back where it started, as a PC game, Bungie are full of beans about the content that we should expect. Indeed, the level of anticipated surrounding this 18 month-old game is comparable to that enjoyed by the game’s successor, Halo 2 |

Vai tik šis nav turpinājums sen aizmirstajai spēlei Panzer Generals?
In late September 1942, while all eyes were focused on the titanic struggle
taking place at Stalingrad, Stalin Zhukov, and the rest of Stavka met to
access the military situation and discuss offensive plans for the upcoming
winter. Zhukov convinced them that the Red Army had amassed enough strategic
reserves to conduct two major counteroffensives. The counterattack at
Stalingrad was the most famous, but here in the Rzhev salient Marshal
Zhukov planned the second strike - Operation mars. The operatation was meant
to destroy the German 9th Army and eliminate the German threat on Moscow.
As the Soviet player, can you accomplish Zhukov's goals of defeating the
German 9th Army and pinching off the Rzheve salient? Or as the German
player, can you halt and defeat the massive Soviet armies that threaten
your entire Army Group Center?

Lai arī nekad neesmu fanojis par Laras Kroftas spēļu sērijām, tomēr ir vērts atzīmēt, ka ir iznākusi kārtējā Tomb Rider daļa. Ei nu sazinu, kura pēc kārtās :)
Gatavojam 2 CD matricas.
A series of grisly murders brings Lara into conflict with a sinister
Alchemist from the past, and a secret alliance of powerful
individuals shrouded in mystery. At the center of these mysteries are
the Obscura Paintings - five 14th century pieces of art that the
Alchemist is desperate to repossess. Accused of the murder of her one
time mentor, Werner Von Croy, Lara becomes a fugitive on the run.
Pursued by the police, she follows the Alchemist into a dark world of
blood, betrayal and vengeance where it is up to her to defeat this
unholy alliance, and stop them from unleashing their incredible
powers on the world.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness is classic Lara, but this
time as both hunter and hunted she must rely on her ingenuity,
athleticism and a new edge that has arisen from her dark inner
demons. The game introduces a whole host of new gameplay features
including interaction with other characters and the capacity to
improve Lara's abilities depending on how you play the game. Lara
Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness employs a brand new engine -
Lara is now made up of over 5,000 polygons as opposed to just 500 in
previous Tomb Raider games.
* Character evolution - improve Lara’s abilities and witness her
adapt to how you play the game. You are rewarded for puzzle solving
and exploration in the form of improvements to Lara’s jumping
ability, brainpower, upper body strength etc.
* Character interaction - for the very first time in a Tomb Raider
game, Lara has the ability to talk to characters. The choices you
make in conversation will affect Lara’s route through the game.
* Cutting edge graphics from a brand new game engine. Lara is now
made up of over 5,000 polygons as opposed to just 500 in previous
games.
* Take more direct and fluid control over Lara with an entirely new
control system and experience new levels of gameplay with
hand-to-hand combat, stealth attacks, last chance grabs and more. |

Kādu laiku jau klīst apkārt ziņas, ka 3DO un NWC ir bankrotējuši. Cik nu sapratu no 3DO Community postiem NWC gaida pircēju. Par 3DO ir zināms tas, ka (gandrīz) visi darbinieki ir atlaisti.
Līdz ar to iespējams, ka nebūs turpinājumu tādām spēlēm kā Heroes of Might and Magic un Might and Magic, un daudzām citām. |

Max Payne sequel screens appear
Take 2 takes a second pop at the world's happiest man.
Although it was kept pretty much under wraps at this year’s E3, the sequel to Take 2’s Max Payne, The Fall of Max Payne, seems to be getting a bit of exposure lately, namely with the emergence of these first screens.
Very little has been confirmed about the game to date, and the fact that the shots look very much like cut-scenes doesn’t help matters either. It can be assumed, however, that Max will be a bit miffed and so therefore find solace in venturing around a series of dark and gloomy environments shooting lots of bad guys. One thing the images can confirm, though, is that Max now seems to be completely devoid of his ever-present constipated grimace – perhaps level one features the quest for a high fibre diet.

UFO: Aftermath - more gameplay features
Altar Interactive have released a detailed feature list for their soon-come UFO: Aftermath PC title.
All’s been fairly quiet on the Cenega-published game for a while, but it’s back in the news with a selection of new screens and more gameplay details.
For those who haven’t been paying attention, UFO: Aftermath is a combination of small squad tactical combat and global strategy where the player will pit their wits against an alien invasion. You will need to use all your skills and abilities to defend Earth from its destruction.
Altar Interactive’s updated features for the game are as follows:
Simultaneous combat system - a natural blend of real time and turn based action.
RPG elements - each soldier's ability increases with each successful mission.
Region dependent graphics - the style of buildings, the type of flora will vary depending on what areas of the Earth the player is fighting on.
Destructible environments.
Resource management - research new technologies, weapons and fight against the biomass.
Bulletproof (ballistic permeability)- each object or amour used in the game will affect the damaged inflicted by weapons.
Directors cut – a replay mode where the player can review the most exciting moments of a mission through a special movie-like camera.
Advanced AI – the enemy will interact with the environments and react realistically to attacks.
Save the Earth. With a small group of survivors fight against an unknown danger from space in this tactical strategy game set in the not too distant future.
UFO: Aftermath is due for release in September 2003.

Treasure developing Gradius V
E3 info-overload swamps some of the best news all year
During E3, Konami announced that it had commissioned Ikaruga developer and cult legends Treasure to develop the latest instalment of Gradius, the famed horizontal shooter series and one of Konami’s leading franchises.
Exactly how this was missed has not been uncovered, though you can rest assured that we have been burning ourselves with self-hatred, if that makes you feel any better.
The magnitude of this news is still reverberating around our brains, with Gradius V rocketing up our most wanted list like nothing before seen.
We can now expect what is shaping up to become one of the greatest 2D shooters of all time, fusing treasure’s game-mechanic mastery with the dark, evolving and brilliant world spawned by Salamander all those years ago.
As soon as we get any more details on this PS2 outing, you’ll be the first to know |

[4. Mar 2003|09:45] |
Nu jau pilnīgi oficiāli ir apstiprināts, ka gamez.lv ir atgriezies un kādu laiku (cerams ilgāku) turēsies pie labas veselības.
Ļoti apsveicami ir tas, ka Zigmars ir noformulējis gamez.lv turpmāko darbību:
Pateicoties lielam atbalstītāju pulkam mēs ceram, ka šeit rakstu patiešām vairs netrūks, jo galvenie satura veidotāji būsim mēs paši (nevis gameZ.lv, bet TU). Tāpēc gameZ.lv trešo etapu varētu nosaukt par gamer 2 gamer. Kas tulkomumā nozīmē geimers geimeram. Kā mēs varējām lasīt gameZ.lv vairs nav domāts komerciāliem mērķiem, bet Latvijas gemeru komūnai.
Zigmars atzīst arī to, ka dizains ir daļēji kopēts no gamenet.lv, kas manā skatījumā nav nosodāmi (par © lai cīnās tvnet.lv). Kā jau biedrs capslock izteicās: "nostalgija rulz", un līdz ar to gamez.lv varētu kļūt patīkamāks arī gamenet community biedriem.
Vēlu veiksmi turpmākajā attīstībā. |

 Vakar forumā varējām lasīt ziņu par gameZ.lv aizvēršanu. Tāpēc mēs izlēmām šo pasākumu oficializēt un izteikt redakcijas viedokli, nevis tikai minējumus. Vecā, labā un tautā iemīļotā vienīgā melnā gameZ.lv dienas patiešām ir skaitītas.
Šādi vairs strādāt mēs nespējam. Tas nav noslēpums ka Zigmārs šeit veidoja kodu un visu savu brīvo laiku līdz melnai naktij veltīja. gameZ.lv kods sastāv no 4000 rindiņām, 42 tabulām un uz doto brīdi ir publicēti 180 kvalitatīvi un gari raksti. gameZ.lv programmēšanai, savukārt Dawis savu no mācībām brīvo laiku veltīja gameZ.lv rakstu rakstīšanai. Viss ko mēs ieguvām bija neslavas celšana vairākos "netīrās veļas mazgāšanas" portālos, kā arī pārmetumi, par to ka gameZ.lv ir pārāk maz raksti.
Bet vairāk par rakstu dienā mēs nevaram, un līdz šim neviens nopietni tā arī mums nav palīdzējis un pieteicies ar rakstīšanu.
Šajā laikā esam sastapuši daudz jaunu draugu, daudz pateicības vārdu, bet esam sastapuši arī nodevību. Daudzi šo pasākumu nosauc par komerciālu un apgalvo ka datorsalonam M79 šis pasākums ienes milzīgu peļņu. Ja tas tā būtu tad Latvijā mēs redzētu gamespot.com. Diemžēl mēs redzam tikai mūsu mazo gameZ.lv, kas jau kļuvis par gameru iecienītāko vietu, bet diemžēl divatā mēs vairs nespējam. Ilgu laiku gaidījām palīgus, bet rezultāts nekāds. Tāpēc ja vēlies lai gameZ.lv nenomirst raksti uz editor@gamez.lv un varbūt ir iespējas ko mainīt!
katrā gadījumā
aicinam visus pirmdien (3.martā) šeit pat www.gamez.lv uz kopīgām "melnā" gameza bērēm!
Mums ir sagatavots mazs pārsteigums priekš Jums.
