E3 Countdown

Larry Hryb, eller bedre kendt som Major Nelson, har netop igangsat en nedtælling til dette års E3. Major Nelson, for at introducere ham, har været en del af Xbox-holdet siden 2003, hvorfor en nedtælling på hans side er en ganske finurlig ting. E3, som I alle ved, er et af årets største begivenheder inden for gaming og er den oplagte mulighed for de store producenter, herunder Sony, Microsoft og Nintendo, at præsentere nyt software og ikke mindst hardware. Rygterne om en ny konsol fra både Sony og Microsoft har længe hærget på interwebbet, men med denne nedtælling kan det da betyde, at Microsoft er rede til at løfte sløret for Xbox720?

Tiden vil vise, hvad Microsoft har i ærmet til det års E3. Det kan være en ny konsol, Kinect Sports 3 eller noget helt andet. Personligt håber jeg at se mere til både Xbox720 og Fable 4, for Lionhead skylder et godt spil efter de to seneste, henholdsvis Fable 3 og ikke mindst Fable: The Journey, men indtil videre er der altså blot spekulationer og intet konkret. Indtil E3 løber af stablen, kan du følge nedtællingen her!


English version:

Larry Hryb, or better known as Major Nelson, put up a countdown on his website counting down to this year's E3. Major Nelson, to those of you who doesn't know him, has been a member of the Xbox team since 2003 which is why a countdown on his website is something to behold. E3, as you all know, is one of gaming's biggest events giving the major companies the opportunity to showcase their newest software and especially hardware. The rumors about a new console from both Sony and Microsoft has long plagued the interwebs but could this countdown mean that Microsoft is finally ready to reveal the Xbox720?

Only time will tell what Microsoft has planned for E3. It could be a console, Kinect Sports 3 or something completely different. Personally I hope to hear more about Fable 4 as well as Xbox720 because Lionhead owes us a good game after both Fable 3 and Fable: The Journey. But that's another topic. So far there is only speculations about the countdown and what it could mean, but until E3 you can follow the countdown here!

Far Cry 3 slår Black Ops 2

Activision's enorme gigant, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, har længe siddet på førstepladsen over de mest solgte spil, men nu lader det til, at Far Cry 3 har slået konkurrenten i Storbritannien. Chart-track rapporterer således, at Ubisofts populære spil nu ligger i toppen af den britiske liste skarpt efterfulgt af Fifa 13. På samme liste ser Call of Duty sig altså nu på en 3. plads. Efter 6 uger som nr. 1 kan man kun sige, at Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 bestemt ikke har klaret sig ilde, og at det nu muligvis også er på tide at få nye kræfter på toppen. I kan se chart-tracks liste over de mest solgte spil her!

English version:

The beast of Activision, Call of Duty: Black ops 2, has been at the very top of the sales charts for a rather long time but now it seems that Far Cry 3 has bested it in the UK. Chart-track reports that the popular game from Ubisoft is now at the top of the chart followed by Fifa 13. Call of Duty is now 3rd but after six weeks as number 1 it cannot be denied that Black Ops 2 has had a good run. Please click here to see the full chart!

Der var engang en controller...

Denne skønne animation, lavet af Chris Koelsch, viser intet mindre end Nintendos mange controllere. Hvorfor er den skøn? Fordi den er godt lavet? Lad os bare sige, at den ikke vil vælte dig omkuld med dens grafiske kunnen, men den vil bringe et smil på dine læber. Musikken, farverne og dens generelle artstyle fungerer sublimt, og den minder os om, at man også skal nyde de små ting i livet. God fornøjelse!




English version:

This delightful animation, done by Chris Koelsch, shows nothing less than the evolution of Nintendo's many controllers. Why is it delightful? Because it's well done? Let's just say that it won't blow you out of this world with its graphical prowess but it will make you smile. The music, the colours and the general artstyle is superb, and it reminds us that we must also enjoy the small things in life. Enjoy!
