Hi

MaxPayne 3

Rockstar have released the first batch of screen for its upcoming Noir themed action title Max Payne 3. They did mention the scenes in the game would take part during the day in contrast to the previous two iterations of the series which all took part in the depths of night. We’re not complaining, in fact we like what we see.

The screens give us a clearer picture of howMax has aged, not gracefully by any means, sporting a bulging tummy, a big scare around his right eye and it looks like he hasn’t bathed in days, can’t blame him though, too many bad guys to kill and too little time.

JustCause 2

“Post-GTAIV there is clearly room for a free-roaming game that offers the chance to interact with the game world on an overblown level,” the PSW post said, “Mercenaries 2 promised this but failed to deliver.”


The original Just Cause was pleasantly received, scoring a respectable 74 at Metacritic, with many of the quoted review comments noting that a few more options in game play could’ve turned it into a “GTA-killer.” If the screens below are any indication, Just Cause 2 might have the engine upgrades and new gameplay options it needs to finally threaten that GTA throne.

Metromorph Vehicle Designer Roman Mistiuk came up with an interesting concept that could help avoid the never-ending problems such as lack of parking space and not enough space at home. He developed this amazing vehicle which he dubbed "Metromorph", which can play several roles: besides being a car, it can turn into an elevator that takes you right to your apartment and it can increase your living space, turning into a balcony.

When you come home, the vehicle rides up just like an elevator and as soon as it arrives to the necessary floor it becomes a balcony. The designer provided specific features that explain how everything works.

Transformer USB HUb This is a pretty cool transformer that is more than a simple toy. The gadget transforms into a small laptop computer, a sort of netbook, if you wish, that sits on top of a USB hub with 4 ports.

When the transformer turns into robot it can store a cassette tape, which you can insert in its chest - reminds me of the old cassette player I was given on my birthday about a decade ago.
