Gaming Tidbits - 05/01/06
Lets jump right in:
- Valve is now selling headcrab hats. Now you too can look like the zombie hordes Gordon Freeman decimates in HL/2. As a bonus, this is the only HP approved hat for cube wear.
- Eric Heimburg, senior systems designer for Star Trek Onlines, discusses the economy in STO. There will be monetary units, credits, but all basic equipment will be free. Can someone tell me why, in a universe with energy to matter converters, everything isn't free? On a related note, it looks like players will be able to captain their own starships. I'm curious to see how that works and if it will be Federation only, or whether I can be a Tholian...
- Legends is a free online game in the vein of Tribes. It looks rather interesting.
- The hype machine continues to grind. The Gears Of War website just went live. Add that to Too Human and Mass Effect for a 360 trifecta of gaming goodness.
- Wondering what to do with your PSP? Villainous Mind has created Locura, a personal media server, that allows you to stream audio and video from any PC on your network to your PSP. The content comes across the wire formatted for the PSP. Kinda neat.
