I have recently taken it upon myself to teach myself Java. I learnt the basics at University but struggled to grasp it at a deeper level due to learning it just for the level needed to pass coursework. I am primarily a designer though would love to be able to code. I am starting with Java as I know the basics and from what I have heard it is a good foundation language to have. I am currently wo...
Some how I fell upon this letter that I wrote to MS back in 2004. I designed a non functioning prototype hand held gaming device, with 2 analogue sticks, physical Xbox buttons with a touch interface design and specifically remember using Halo in all the screens that I used to show the product. Dear Sir or Madam: My name is Vivek , I am 17 years of age and am currently doing my A levels at *Scho...
Firstly thank you to PsEG for letting me post this. This is my best friend Ross . We have know each other for over 15 years and he is about to do something amazing and he needs our support. Since we were kids Ross has been hard working, determined and never let anything stand in the way of achieving his goals. Ever since I can remember he has always worked for the things he has, and is never on...
After being inspired by Journey I decided to do a little art work. I used to study 3D Animation and Video Games design and used to fill pads with drawing and have GB's of photoshop pieces, but now study Computer Science and miss being creative. This also means that I have none of my art supplies at university with me. My latest venture is using my iPad 2 and SketchBook Pro. Painting with my fin...
Over the last couple of days I have managed to spend a fair bit of time with the latest editions to the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) franchises. Coming to grips with the subtle changes that both series have made in the up coming 2012 versions of the games, through the demo's that have been released. Firstly though a bit of back story for those that may not know. The football game genre i...
Hi Guys, Happy New year to everyone first. Some people may remember I posted a forum message throwing out there the idea of giving gaming for a month. After a large amount of people telling me where to go shove the idea and the few people that thought it perhaps was not that crazy, I have undertaken the challenge and am currently half way there [sing Boni Jovi here]. Here is the back story, ove...
So over the last couple of weeks, there have been changes. The addition on Tested.com, which is an amazing little place to rave about Tech, and watch Norm lick iPads, and also the Quests on GB which is why I am writing this blog entry.
Sick of Sim In recent history of racing games, the "sim" style has come to the forefront, the Gran Turismo's, PGR's, Forza's. I thought that track based arcade racing was dead. Burnout Paradise is an amazing game, I know many a people that have suck hours apon hours into Paradise City, I myself restarted just to get trophies. Here comes my big but though. For me Burnout 3: Takedown is the best...
UFC and Me Don't worry I'm not mad, not yet anyway. I recently downloaded UFC Undisputed via PSN store, and wow. Yukes in the past have been great at fighting games, but ever since the churning out of the WWE series I was slightly worried about the game. Im not generally a UFC or Pride fan. I enjoy the odd bit of boxing and even tried a bit of Jui Juitsu in my spare time, but somehow this game...
Great work guys after months of waiting were here. The only issues at the moment is the speed but I guess that that will come with time. Looks nice and easy to use.
