Minecraft Update 1.5 Video Preview

This video shows the upcoming 1.5 update, which should arrive this week. Notch says that the “rain and especially thunder is waaay too common in this test, for demo purposes.”

It’s good that Minecraft is becoming more involving. I really like the rain effects and the snow makes it hard to see in front of you which snow does in real life.

Minecraft Official Release in November

Minecraft within Minecraft.

This November 11th Minecraft is finally released. On the same day as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson has said that:

The version we deem as the “full version” won’t be very different at all from what the game was like a week ago, and we’ll keep adding features after the release as well, so it’s really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the Beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards.

Max Payne 3 Screenshots

Good to see Max with he's hair. I wonder how he loses it, stress maybe?

These are most of the images available for Max Payne 3 at the moment. I am looking forward to the game but some of the new settings don’t really seem to fit with the noir style of the previous games. Still its good to see a new Max Payne game, hopefully it will come close to the other games in quality.

Knife in the neck.

Crysis 2 Achievements

Every cloud has a silver lining.

This is the achievement list for Crysis 2. These achievements are the same for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version doesn’t have any achievements so you will have to pretend to get them. They are the usual complete a level on various difficulties. They also contain multiplayer ones which are of the usual type. The achievement called “Dedication” (25 G) which requires you to play online 6 months after your first time, is a cheap way to get people to come back at least once after they likely stopped playing. After playing the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on Xbox 360 I am feeling a bit more optimistic about the games multiplayer credentials. I will most likely review it soon.

There are 50 achievements with a total of 1000 Gamerscore.
