What makes a house a home? Generally speaking I know it’s the people who inhabit it and the memories you make there, but what about your surroundings? We have been co-habitating for the sake of illness but soon hope that freedom awaits. Believe me, after owning my own home for almost ten years this has [...]

Actress Zhang Ziyi was engaged to venture capitalist Vivi Nevo. You might now Zhang Zivi from small movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and Rush Hour 2. So, what could have caused this epic ending of an engagement? The Internet is to blame here.
Apparently, Vivi is a big online gamer and forum user. He dabbled with some online dating as well. This only goes down hill. Vivi has decided that he would fall in love with a fellow forum user while he was engaged to Zhang. Zhang does not take to kindly to this and calls off their whole engagement.
Ok folks, if you are engaged to a hottie, you need not be looking to internet forums for more luvin. You can’t park two Ferrari’s in the same garage of love. Well, that is unless your awesome Hugh who owns a whole dealership of Ferrari’s, but that is a whole different kinda love garage. This is just a thought that you should take under advisement.
More tales of this love story can be found here.

“In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat’s brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat’s crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun.”
So say we all. In the latest sweet sweet Atlus love saga, Zeno Clash has been on our radar for quite a long time. In fact, we might even say that we LURV the idea of this game. It has gotten kudos from all over the web, most notable from The Brainy Gamer himself, Michael Abbot.

Every gamer out there has that one video game
franchise that they can’t resist. Whether you line up at midnight for the next game in the Halo series or start to lose it at the possibility that a new Zelda game is coming to town doesn’t matter – you understand that even a stinker in the series won’t mar the franchise’s reputation.

Over the past couple of weeks rumour has continually speculated that the Xbox 360 title, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, is to make its way onto Sony’s PlayStation 3 console.
Today however, Ubisoft have aimed to kill such rumour by reiterating that the title is exclusive to Microsoft’s console, and will be only making its way to PC.

It would seem that Bungie are set to reward those that play the impending Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta with an Avatar Award. Although, lets face it which Xbox 360 owner in their right mind isn’t going to be playing it?!
Critical Gamer writes: As one of the more prominent faces behind a team of 90 developers who made one of the best cinematic action games of all time, Richard Lemarchand has recently given tons of interviews and presentations promoting his company’s development philosophy. Signing a decent portion of Uncharted 2 copies in the process, this lead designer at Naughty Dog still resembles a very down to earth kind of guy. Especially after all the praise and prizes he and his team have received for their latest work on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. While at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to give his own Uncharted 2 post-mortem presentation, I was fortunate enough to meet up with Lemarchand to ask him about how he got to this far as a game designer, why he loves his job at Naughty Dog so much and what lies ahead of him and his team.
