For this week-end CS:Source is sold for 4 US dollar-Euro, i am no more interested in this, but for all the people who never played this (do they exist?) it sounds a good deal for 4 bucks..
I have no idea if and when there will be a counter-Strike 2.. Still this game was (is?) one of the most played games online and its population is pretty big.
Go go go…
On December 9th 2009, on the skies of NorWay a strange thing appeared, that thing looks like a ‘Gateway’ or a ‘WormHole’ as seen in many sci-fi fictions.. Wonder what is it? Here is a possible list:
1. Fake
2. WormHole
3. A cloacked ship entering hyperspace
4. Fireworks
5. Natural Phenomenon
6. Mysticism (something religious)
7. Russian Rocket (exploded)
8. Some kind of (human) Experiment
9. Time Travel or Multiverse
And you what do you think it is?
The Earth is warming, and nobody knows why.. (there are some theories), some scientists say that human activities are speeding-up the phenomenon and (even if slightly) are breaking the natural balance. Scientist predicts very bad side-effects like the flood of most of the lands.. We are coming closer to the point of no return, after that date the catastrophic process will be irreversible.
If you think that living in underwater cities is cool you have never played BioShock.. 😆

A message from Sid Meier!
Hello Civ Fans!
I wanted to let you know we’ll soon be looking for beta testers to help us develop a unique new way to play Civilization. Ever since we finished Civilization® Revolution™ last year, I’ve been looking at ways of expanding the Civ gameplay experience to include solo, competitive and cooperative play to take advantage of the uniqueness of social networks. We’re calling this project Civilization® Network™ and the full game will be available next year on Facebook. Civilization Network will allow you to join together with your friends to create the world’s most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization. You can coordinate your strategy to win great battles, share your technology to jump ahead of your rivals, lobby your family and friends to form your own government and win vital elections, manage and grow your cities to maximize production and happiness, spy on your enemies, and work with your friends to create the great Wonders of the World. The game will offer everything you enjoy in Civ in a fully persistent environment – you can play as much as you like, whenever you like, and it’ll be free to play.
We’ll offer a closed beta of the game soon, so stay tuned for details on how you can sign-up to participate. The full game will launch in 2010. For more information about Civilization Network, including development updates and behind-the-scenes posts from me and the Firaxis team, join our Facebook fanpage here.
Thanks and Stay Civilized!

DC Comics Universe Online NO Monthly Fee?
DC Universe Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the DC Universe. SOE hopes to make a different kind of MMORPG, with The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction being cited as one of the main inspirations for gameplay. SOE is working to make DC Universe Online more interactive than standard MMORPGs, while trying to keep key elements of RPGs, which include a leveling system and inventories. The world is mainly shared, public space instead of heroes or villains owning territory. The public space features dynamically-generated content designed for both hero and villain player characters (uniquely created by the player, who cannot choose DCU stalwarts), which may lead to interesting Player Versus Player battles.
It is known that players choose a city of origin for their character, the currently known cities being Metropolis and Gotham City. Another location currently known to be in the game is Arkham Asylum, Gotham City’s mental institution for criminals (including a number of Batman’s more psychopathic enemies, such as the Joker, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, and Two-Face). The character is given either a Justice League or a Legion of Doom communicator – depending on their choice of playing as either a hero or a villain – and the character’s allegiance will affect how the game is played; for example, a hero character may encounter a thug robbing an armored truck while a villain character will instead rob (or, depending on character level, assist in the robbing of) said armored truck. It is also known that player characters have threat ratings which will cause both heroes and villains alike to interact accordingly with the character.
DC Universe Online or DCUO is a MMORPG being developed by Sony Online Austin. Jim Lee serves as the game’s Executive Creative Director, along with Carlos D’Anda, JJ Kirby, Oliver Nome, Eddie Nunez, Livio Ramondelli, and Michael Lopez. EverQuest developers Chris Cao and Shawn Lord are also involved. When asked whether the game would require a monthly subscription to play, or free to play, Sony’s Wes Yanagi gave OneLastContinue a very strong impression that they are leaning towards the expansion-pack business model, as opposed to the traditional subscription fee although such matters hadn’t been solidified yet over at Sony Online Entertainment.
According to various website the new mmo superhero game from SONY will have no monthly fee, after buying the game it will be free to play, a similar business model like Guild Wars. These are just rumors, btw i think wouldn’t be bad to do a trip to Metropolis or Gotham City.
The game has been scheduled for release between late 2009 and early 2010.
From STO Website:
