So Okinyo suggested that I give HAWKEN a swing a while back. Fired it up this morning and gave it a whirl.

There's a lot I've seen before, match-based gameplay with upgradable characters. Different mechs offer different strategies and approaches in a way that even the noob mech (the microwave oven) can find a way to compete with more advanced mechs.

I think there's something important to be noted regarding the pacing. For a mech combat game, the matches are incredibly fast-paced. Compared to a shooter like TF2 or Unreal, it's decidedly slower. There's a fine in-between that I think Hawken is striving for that strikes a balance between quick, cover-based twitch shooting and battlefield positioning and teamplay.

Worth checking out, props for the incredibly well-detailed maps. www.playhawken.com

So, Farcry 3: Blood Dragon is a fucking excellent game. $15 bucks, five-hours (with extras), good replay value.

Comes out in a week, wad up your money for distance when you throw it at your screen.

I'm always amazed at people who can do improv this well.  To be able to make it look and sound rehearsed is a rare talent.

A nice article on what "sandbox" means in an MMO.  A few of us were on TS about a week ago discussing this.

A new shot of the USS Vengeance, John Harrison's (Benedict Cumberbatch) ship from Star Trek Into Darkness, has been released.  It was seen in a side profile shot in the newest trailer, which shows it's huge size difference to the Enterprise, but now we get a nice detail shot.
