WARCO: First Person Cameraman

WARCO is a modern war FPS game where the player plays the role of a cameraman instead of the usually front-line infantry soldier.


It is a work in progress being developed by a Brisbane sutdio named Defiant Development. The studio is collaborating with both a journalist and a filmmaker to create a game that puts you in the shoes of a war-time journalist. The game was originally meant to be a training simulator, but is now turning into something much more interesting.

A political commentary of sorts, it aims to force the player to make moral decisions that will impact life within the game.

"It's about finding the story you want to tell..." -Defiant's Morgan Jaffit.

Watch the trailer to see the action for yourself.

Diablo 3 Beta is a Go!

The Diablo 3 Beta client is now available for many people who have received access to it on their Battle.Net account. If you did not receive it, invites will be floating around really soon.

A fair size of the game is accessable in the beta.

"In the Diablo III closed beta test, participants will be able to fight their way through part of Act I as any of the five hero classes—barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, and demon hunter—and go head-to-skull against the Skeleton King, taking him on alone or playing cooperatively with other adventurers," 

Blizzard continues to announce,

"They'll also get to meet up with some of the artisans, followers, and other key characters from Sanctuary, and try out the game's skill and crafting systems."

The client is 2.7GB, and available on Windows and Mac.

GameStop Opening Deus Ex Boxes Aftermath

You may have heard the news a couple of days back about how GameStop had begun opening boxes of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and removing OnLive game codes for buyers of the title to be able to access the game any time. A Memo was issued by the Field Operations Manager, Josh Ivanoff to remove these codes. This would be due to GameStops future plans to get into digital distribution themselves, and don't want costumers flocking to competitors before they can even begin themselves.

Here's a copy of the memo for anyone interested.

Well, GameStop has begun issuing an apology to buyers of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and some other stuff to attempt to salvage whatever face it has left. An Email was sent to costumers reading:

For your inconvenience, we would like to offer you a free $50 GameStop gift card and a Buy 2 Get 1 Free pre-owned purchase. We want to earn back your trust and confidence in the GameStop experience. Please bring in this email and your store receipt or order confirmation from GameStop.com and present it to a Game Advisor.

It's something, but not really much of an apology for OPENING UP THE BOXES of games before people even bought them to TAKE STUFF OUT.

Fucking Gamestop.
