The highly anticipated racing game from Microsoft has already gone gold, well ahead of its October 2 release date reports gamerscoreblog.com.

The official “PGR 4” web site at http://www.pgrnations.com contains the most recent news and updates in the Project Gotham universe. Currently, the web site is the home to the game’s full robust vehicles list, including models from the world’s top car and motorcycle manufacturers, as well as the official Achievements list. The site will be continually updated to give fans a true home base with all the “PGR 4” information and content they’re looking for.

If PGR4 is anything like Forza, expect this game to be a monster.

You probably don’t need any reason play it other than, its HALO 3!! Here is an interesting video that was sponsored by Wal-Mart. Check it out and let us know what you think.

This 10 minute plus video gives you an in depth look at Bungie’s upcoming RTS and new take on the Halo Universe. Notice the detail on the in this game. It’s almost uncanny. I absolutely suck at RTS’s but this demo has some serious possibilities. If you have read any of the Halo books, you will really enjoy all of the weapons and mythology that do not always make it into the mainstream game.

Here is your HD Lovin.

Looks like Halo 3 is going Imax! Tonight, August 21, 2007 at 10 p.m at the IMAX Theater, Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Bungie will be playing on a big Imax screen co-op levels, saved films and campaign movies of the much anticipated, Halo 3. It is rumored to even have a Q&A session at the end. Photography has been outlawed, but we will accept any stray photos that may come our way.

From the Bungie site:

Halo 3 IMAX Preview Event: August 21, 2007

WHEN: Tuesday night, August 21, 2007 at 10 p.m.

WHERE:
IMAX Theater, Pacific Science Center, Seattle

This 6 minute video will answer any and all questions you have about this upcoming monster. I get more and more excited everytime I see something new about this game. Visit www.charlieoscardelta.com for more information.

HD Lovin as Usual

This may answer some of the questions that you have about this monster of a title.

HD Lovin as always.

For decades, mankind has contemplated what would have happened if two historical icons had battled…with balls. Finally, there’s a studio brave enough to tackle this difficult question. Blazing Lizard, Inc today proudly announces its first console downloadable game, Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball.

The first game in the Pirates vs. Ninjas™ series allows up to 8 players to choose from 5 unique teams (Pirates, Ninjas, and three more to be unveiled later), and compete against one another in the ultimate sport of champions – Dodgeball. However, this is no ordinary Dodgeball game. Teams aren’t restricted to one side of the court, instead they roam freely around 6 gorgeously detailed arenas. In addition, characters are equipped with combat moves and special abilities to deliver a more action-packed experience than could ever be found on the playground.

Calling all mathematicians and/or nerds out there, the public needs your help. Above is a Quantum Mechanic equation, namely Schrodinger’s Equation. I know this because I took a year of Advanced Physical Chemistry in Graduate school. Sweet, I know. Bungie posted this equation recently on a post and people are speculating over what it means.

You have to understand, Quantum Mechanics is math with no numbers so to speak. Symbols and an expressions all have values, but are computed to either make the function reappear, equal to zero, or one.

Schrodinger means this: It is a function that allows for the perservation of eigeninformation, or rather, complex (think mathematical imaginary, not imaginary as in fake) wave formulas from an n-dimensional space to another n-dimensional space…the wave being described is the probability complex that describes the ground state of a certain physical system…I’m thinking from a traditional viewpoint of the wavefunction as the lowest energy orbitals.

To make it simple:

Psi bar null = transferring a time-independent waveform from dimension to dimension.

So what is the point? This could be a major plot spoiler. This is my theory:

I do believe an Eigen function once simplified will get the original function back at the beginning, having a distinct Eigen value. Ergo, is it possible that this could be something of a normalization or dare I say orthogonal, where you will get zero? It would make sense if the last Halo ring or rings opens. Everything would be reduced to nothing, or perhaps zero. It could also mean that it is way that the Forerunners transferred their knowledge from that Ark thing and this equation could be how they did it.

OR…. Schrodinger’s birthday is on August 12…. The day a new Beta server opens…

The sole fact these guys want to incorporate quantum mechanics into Halo 3 scares me to death.

If you can help or have a theory, please let me know.

For those of you out of the PSP loop, their recently upgraded processor now runs at 333 MHz, an upgrade from the previous 266. There has yet to be a game that has maximized its full potential, but that will all change once Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror drops on us this fall. Chris Reese, of Playstationblog has recently released this statement.

For Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, our concentration was developing an engine that could produce stunning PSP visuals, allowing for significant detail in the environments. For Logan’s Shadow, we naturally wanted to push the detail even further with our focus turning towards interactivity within those environments.

Now we have the ability to introduce Havok physics, water rendering/gameplay (as seen in the screenshot above), larger environments with significantly more interactive elements, and faster AI response times. In short, tapping into the full processor speed of PSP offers increased gameplay opportunities, while still providing the high production qualities you would expect after playing Dark Mirror.

They promise a huge difference in the overall game quality. Only time will tell.
