Gorgeous Model Aircraft Make you Realise Your Childhood was Wasted

Luke Plunkett — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:30:00 EST

Did you build model planes as a kid? I did. F-14s, F-4s, F-18s, even the odd Mig-29. For a kid I like to think I did OK, gluing wings together and painting garish camo patterns on everything, but after seeing these models I feel despondent. More »

The Polish super-team building the cyberpunk FPS Hard Reset must think it's 1996 or something. The game is a PC exclusive, has no multiplayer, and although it was announced earlier last month, it's coming out later this year. That's how things used to get done around here. More »

Don't Think Of This As Mass Effect 3 "Fan Art"

Luke Plunkett — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 01:00:00 EST

To call it that would be to give you the idea this is a comic, perhaps, or a shot of Miranda with her kit off. No, this is art that, while made by a fan, would be at home amongst professionals. More »

The Witcher 2 Could Be The Hardest Game You'll Ever Play

Luke Plunkett — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 00:30:00 EST

Provided, that is, you decide to play the role-playing title on "insane" difficulty. Which gives you one life. For a game that could take anywhere from 30-60 hours to finish. More »

Ten Minutes of Batman: Arkham Asylum — in Polish

Owen Good — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:00:00 EDT

If you don't know Polish, the narrative gets in the way, but you can watch Bats skulk around Arkham's grounds and get a feel for the stealth takedowns the game is engineered to deliver. More »

CD Projekt Adds Polish To Age Of Conan

Mike Fahey — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:20:00 EDT

The company behind the PC RPG The Witcher is taking another stab at the swords and sorcery gig as Funcom announces a fully localized Polish release for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures to be handled by CD Projekt, due out in the second half of 2008. The Polish developer, publisher, and distributor will handle the localization and running of the game, including customer service, in-game support, websites and the game's community, while Funcom handles the back end. Age of Conan will be the first subscription RPG to be fully localized in Polish. Says Michał Kiciński, joint CEO of CD Projekt:

"We are committed to providing a new level of game experience through the use of local game masters, community managers and customer support. For years we have waited for the right MMO game to come along and now it is here, in our hands."

CD Projekt has worked with Funcom in the past, localizing and distributing The Longest Journey, and also localized the Baldur's Gate series and Planescape: Torment. I'm liking this company more every minute. More »

How Poland Was Sold On Halo 3 (NSFW)

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 02:00:01 EST

Not with Mountain Dew, or soppy commercials, or signs behind trees. No, when Poland needs to know how great Halo 3 is, they go the direct route: they crack out the slutty models. This is Ania. Ania may or may not love Halo 3, we'll never know! But when Polish lads mag CKM called, said they wanted her to frolic with the game, the 360 and its associated peripherals, Ania answered. With gusto. Verve, even. Click through to see just how much verve. But be warned. It's totally, utterly NSFW. Bare flesh, wireless wheel straddling and pointing fish abound! More »

Sony Opens Four New PlayStation Stores

Mike Fahey — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:40:50 EST

It is a day of great celebration in the countries of Greece, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and the Czech Republic, as Sony Computer Entertainment Europe launches for new iterations of the PlayStation Store for these poor, underprivileged areas.

"When we launched PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in March, we promised that we would continue to improve the service throughout the SCEE territories and offer more stores to new regions as quickly as possible," said Chris Stanton-Jones, VP of Distributor Markets for SCEE. "The launch of these four new stores highlights our commitment both to improving our offering and the importance of these increasingly dynamic markets.

I would have thought they'd have gotten to this sooner, seeing as Europe is the most important continent, but you can't complain when four new countries get access to the most awesome rubber duckie game ever created. More »
