New header and url!

I finally decided on a blog name, it's simple and not very creative, but that's exactly what I wanted so I'm happy with it. The new name is going to be: Ingabi's gaming blog. So the url will be: ingabisgamingblog.blogspot.com. I will change it later today. Even though its longer it shouldnt be difficult to remember. And I would really like to hear your opinions on both the header and the name! :)

This weeks game bargains

There are a lot of bargains on games almost every week and I usually keep myself updated on them in case I see something I like, so I thought that must be something you would like to know about! And I recomend you buy them through steam, just because steam is the easyest way to keep track of your games, friends and find new games. Look at me talking when I'm sure most of you already know this. Because I live in europe I only see the euro currency, but for those of you who use other currency's it is converted so it is no difference in the prices.  So on too the important bit:

Hydrophobia: prophecy: If you pre-purchase you get 15% euro off. that means it now costs 8,49 euro. The game releases may 9th so better hurry! I know I'm getting it! You can buy it on steam here.

Plants vs zombies: You get 66% euro off today! That means it only costs 3,40 euro now. the offer ends at thursday 4pm pst ( 7.30 friday morning gmt+1) You really dont want to miss this, cus this game is friggin' awesome! you also get two plants vs zombies inspired hats in team fortress 2. You can buy it on steam here.

I will update soon, I just wanted to get this out as soon as possible! :D

[poll] What is your favorite game genre?

So on the game platform poll there was not so many who voted, but there was a few and I'm happy with that. And the pc won! I decided too keep it going and change the question maybe once a week, just because it's fun. I just set up a new one, hope you like it and vote.

ps: thanks to all you americans for beeing my most loyal readers, even beating my own country (to be fare it is a rather small country). anyway I love you!
pps: I love the rest of you too ;)

The mystic assassin's creed teaser

So I'm quite fond of assassin's creed even though the two games I've played I only made it a few hours in, the stories are great and I had a good time, but suddently I just forgot about it. When that happens it's quite hard to continue again. But now that a new game is releasing it's like I have a new chance, if you know what I mean? Might sound weird, but I can't explain it any better. The new teasers makes it even more exciting, the only hints we get is some arabic words, in the first trailer people have translated it to "Altair son of Alahd" and in the second one it is translated to "Altar son of none" and has the mayan calender flashing in the background. There are more hidden stuff in all four of them but its kinda confusing. It kinda reminds me of something out of lost (Oh how I miss lost). I'm looking forward to finding out more but mostly to playing the game of course. The game will come out some time in 2012 but wee will find out more on this years E3. Here is the fourth teaser for you, are you excited? Maybe some of you who have played more than me can get more out of it?

The Playstation network welcomes you back

Sony has announced at a recent conference that most services will be up for the Psn this week with the exeption of the playstation store. You will get a free month of Psn plus, and current Psn members will get an additional month for free. Some extra free downloadable content will also be given out, but it's not revealed what it will be yet. Other good news is that with the Psn down, the american government had time to get up from the couch and catch Osama Bin Laden!

The Sony PSN bosses Kazuo Hirai, Shinji Hasejima and Shiro Kambe apologised deeply for the stress and inconvenience this has brought upon PSN customers by keeping their heads bowed for seven seconds. 

New Portal 2 content: update

Valve announced this friday that new test chambers, leaderboards, single and multiplayer challenge modes and more will be available this summer, all at the price of free! The "expansion" will be named "Portal 2 DLC number 1", which of course means there is more to come. And I am guessing there will be a new event when it releases, similar, but smaller to the one that took place at the Portal 2 release. I took part in that event and wrote a post about it which you can read here if you missed it, and of course if you are interrested.

Of orcs and men

Of orcs and men is a new fantasy rpg where you play an orc, fighting against humans. Your goal as a warrior veteran is to kill the one man responsible for all of this bloodshed, the one who has exhorted the humans to fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself. On the mission you get a goblin companion who fights by your side with completely different fighting skills than you. The Orc is a strong warrior and the Goblin is a silent assasin, but since this is a rpg you can choose which abilities you want them to have.

Of orcs and men will release in the spring of 2012 on Pc, Ps3 and Xbox 360. Produced by Cyanide, and published by Focus Home Interactive.
