Red Alert 3 On Hold for PlayStation 3

Bad news for PlayStation 3 (PS3) owners. Electronic Arts have confirmed that they are putting Red Alert 3 on hold for PlayStation 3. They didn’t give any reason and they haven’t given a hint that whether they might want to continue with the development for PS3 or not.

EA is focusing more on PC and Xbox and are hoping to ship it by the end of the year. Ironically, I think PlayStation3 has been bashed since this came out after Sony Cancelled two games “The Getaway and Eight Days” for PlayStation 3.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Review

The new Fantasy Online RPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is out on the PC and its turned out to be quite a good game. The game is quite mature and based on bit more violent game play as compared to other fantasy games. The game play also introduces a more interactive way of combat rather than just selecting a move from list of moves then clicking with the mouse on it we have to perform those moves by making a proper combination. The Age of Conan has provided beautiful landscapes with lush green grass and corpses lying all over giving a complete mature look. Here is a video review of the Game to let you see everything for your self.

Download COD - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Patch 1.6

A new patch for Call Of Duty 4 (COD) 1.6 is out. COD 1.6 Patch updates your game and also consists of all the previous upgrade so you don’t need to run the previous patch first. This patch consists old school and hardcore server browser filters, new maps and it also has a fix for a Denial of Service attack.
COD 4 New Variety Maps:

- StrongCreek

A large wide open village in the woods, “Creek” consists of heavy foliage, great for sniper cover; a deep ravine offers an excellent vantage point for ambushes; an underground cave offers an alternate evasion route; and various multi-floor houses populate a patchwork of connected farmland. This extensive open map is great for snipers with plenty of natural coverage consisting of rocks and trees. There are various routes for advancements from both high and low vantage points over and underneath the hillsides. Great for large team games.

- Chinatown

A modern revision of the classic Call of Duty ”Carentan” map, Chinatown takes players to the foggy downtown district of a Chinatown. A night time setting, well lit by the full moon, surrounds the cityscape and the glow of brightly colored lanterns and neon lights of local businesses. This district offers a variety of open street and interior settings, perfect for fire fights throughout the connected roads, courtyards, antique shops, and markets within it. Great for all game types and players.

- Broadcast

Its size and alternating routes make Broadcast great for large team games – a large, multi-story television station with plenty of window vantage points creates the perfect setting for floor-to-floor combat. The station is surrounded by extensive outdoor areas consisting of a long parking lot, surrounding buildings with sniping hiding spots, and side-rooftop access to the top and bottom floors of the television station.

- Killhouse

An enclosed warehouse made of plywood structures, mock-ups and speed-run courses used for training creates the right mix of obstacles for small team games or free-for-alls with a variety of soft and hard cover points spread throughout the entire ground level.
