I stumbled upon an article today on geek.com regarding some interesting news about the unreal engine.

Article on geek.com

Apparently the Unreal Team is already hard at work on Unreal Engine 4, despite the fact that it won’t run on current hardware. In fact not even the next generation of consoles, which we know virtually nothing about, are up to the task.

In fact, speculation suggests that a cpu with 12 (or more) cores might be required to properly handle the engine.

Makes me kinda sad to know that not even my 4ghz hyper-threaded i7 beast is up to the challenge… I guess it’s back to the drawing board for the hardware team.

So there’s three games on sale this week and there all up for grabs. The three games are as follows:

1. Wings of Prey 50% off

This is the ACTUAL mid-week madness for this week and admittedly I was initially looking forward to this game. I was always a fan of dog-fighting games and don’t have one on steam… that I can remember.

However, after learning that this game not only have a three install limit, entirely unsuitable for a system builder, but also requires the installation of a seperate game client to run… I’m out. Maybe if this game drops below the $15 mark I could endorse it, but until then it’s a no-buy from me.

2. Serious Sam HD 50% off

This is the game you should be looking to buy. It’s actually on sale until march 2nd, so you can even wait for your check if you have to. Unfortunately I purchased this back in the Christmas sale, so I’ve no real reason to buy it now. But if you’ve missed out on the gem in the past, Now is the perfect time to hop on board the Sam-wagon. Old skool gameplay, new skool graphics… What’s not to love!

3. Hammer Fight 50%

If, like me, you already own Serious Sam perhaps you should be looking a little lower. Like at this Indie Gem. Hammer fight seems simple, and probably is, but thats exactly what I need on my laptop. Simple but fun games that can run on my core duo with integrated graphics. I’m picking this one up as a distraction from work.

Oh a helpful hint, Hammerfight is on sale this week, but the whole KranX pack is available for only $9.99 The usual cost of hammer fight alone. Personally, I’m gonna go this route. 3 games for the price of 1? I’m in.

Okay guys,

So I’ve finally updated the site with the oldest entries I have. That brings our total archive to… well.. Over a year! That’s right, over one consecutive years worth of entries are now hosted. Finally! we’ve been around for awhile now but this is the first time that many posts have been consolidated.

Here’s a toast to progaminglife.com and it’s readers. May your nights be long, your work days short, and may gaming become a recognized sport!

Volpin Props: Fallout 3 AER9 Laser Rifle.

Not to be confined into making large scale autonomous killing machines, Volpin Props designer Harrison Krix knocked out yet another awesome post in September. This one, well… It blows me away. An almost perfect replica of the Fallout 3 Laser rifle.

Now I only say “almost” perfect, because honestly… It’s better than perfect. He didn’t have enough detailed specs to design the prop and thus had to actually improvise a lot of the design elements. The results speak for themselves.

Keep it up man. I wish you had some free time on your hands so you could squeeze in a project for me. I could really use a scale model of the Rocket Launcher from UT3.

Volpin Props: Big Daddy (Bioshock).

Harrison Krix posted two awesome projects back in september, the first and larger of the two, by far, is this Big Daddy costume. Accompanied by his “Little Sister” AKA his fiancee,  Harrison donned this mammoth prop and strutted his stuff.

Kudos to Volpin Props for outdoing themselves yet again.
