Game Masters

Melbourne gamers its time to rejoice, maybe rage but most of all embrace our love of gaming at  Game Masters.  If your not sure what I'm talking about its the new exhibition at ACMI at Federation square in Melbourne running from June 28th till October 28th 2012. 

And for only $22 Full, Concession $17.50
ACMI Members $16 or Child (4-15 years) $11 you can get your hands on 125+ playable games across arcades, consoles, PC and mobile platforms.  

Its a chance to relive your gamer past as well as test your skills with others or at least get a CRT tan in different surroundings.  The last time I went to an exhibition like this it was great to see people share their favorite memories of games past.  Even cuter to hear dad's say things like "this was the first console I ever had" and seeing their kids look so shocked.  Pretty sure I'm going to have the same experience if I ever have kids LOL

Anyway I do suggest you come and check it out, you never know you might just see me, Tedi and the crew there.

 

Dishonored - Revenge Solves Everything

In the steampunk vibe of this week I thought I'd show you the new game that I am longing to play.  Thanks to BFG I was shown the trailer for Dishonored, and I was blown away.  I loved Bioshock and Bioshock2; yep I'm waiting with baited breath for the latest installment of this series.  However until I get to unwrap the plastic on the game I will be playing Dishonored assuming that its released before Bioshock.  

So what is all this I'm talking about you may be asking; well the team from Arkane and Bethesda I think say it best.

GAME OVERVIEW

 You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with neo-industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you, abilities beyond those of any common man – but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.

Are you interested???? I know I am.  Hey anything that combines a great story, beautiful stylized art, steampunk and super-powers and I'm in.  Not a gamer?? well its time to try or at least find your buddy who plays a little and steal their set up for a few hours coz trust me you are going to want to indulge in this game.

Now watch....... and I dare you to say you don't want to see more.
