If you’re like me then there’s not much you like more than a strong dose of caffeinated soda pop while watching a geek retro mashup of what made gaming great. Being a geek born in the eighties means I had the best of both worlds. I was alive for the beginning, and yet old enough to get the best out of gaming. Born a few years earlier and I may well have missed the industry in its prime. However being a geek these day’s is hard work. COmpeting with the new generation is a somewhat tiring experience. Competing with the hard-core gamers and the Geek Chic makes me wonder about all the years I spent as a social outcast. Geek is in, and sport is just another aspect of the geek lifestyle.
So for your viewing pleasure ten minutes and over 200 retro games available free right now. Bring back a little nostalgia and enjoy.
It’s new news. I know it’s been a while. I’ve been working on a few projects but here I am back at Geek-Haven where it all began. I’ve recently obtained an Engine for on-line RPG’s (2d) with a direct development line to 3d. It’s beginning again. What does this mean for Geek-Haven? firstly it means a new design. There is a lot of work coming to Geek-Haven, some of it obvious some less so. However this attention should build some community. If there was ever a time to get involved now would be it.
Of course development time for the game is variable. Quantity vs Quality and all that. So stay tuned for updates on what could be the future direction for geek-haven.
As a geek when someone mentions RPG’s there are a few things that come to mind. The chances are however that Diablo is one of the first things to pop into your head. So when I finally got my hands on Torchlight I wasn’t surprised at the look or feel of the game. To say the hack and slash click frenzy was reminiscent of Diablo might be considered an understatement of the most extreme kind. Diablo II like game mechanics and the atmoshpere and simplicity of the original experience of Diablo mixed with a pleasant and classic graphical style all mesh for simple, fun and streamlined experience with Torchlight. Calling something clone is ussually a negative factor but the Diablo’esque fell comes from the Team, a group of former Blizzard North members working with Runic Games and doing a damned good job.
With a small footprint and very reasonable spec requirements Torchlight is a unique game and at it’s bargain pricing (Steam 19.95 AUD) it’s a hard gem to look over.
So Borderlands is coming. A gaming buddy of mine [Judas] introduced me to this game a few years back when it looked like development might have gone the way of the Nukem. Fortunately it hadn’t.
