RAGE Screenshots and E3 footage

Dude, Bethesda and ID teamed up to create RAGE, a post-apocalyptic FPS of course. Imagine borderlands, Fallout 3, and Doom thrown into a stew and this is what is served. The RAGE team primarily consists of the Makers of Doom and the gameplay is reminiscent of Doom 3. The stylistic choices for RAGE remind me of Fallout 3. At first I thought, WTF!?! it looks like some of the exact same scenery and set up as Fallout 3. Then I remember thinking, Fallout 3 would be an awesome game if it had more of the FPS shooter feel of Doom 3. How could I complain? From the trailer it looks like an awesome gameplay experience, and the mutants look like they will snap you like a twig, but I will have to say RAGE looks to be on the top of my list for most anticipated games of 2011. It has a release date of September 13th of 2011 and will be released on PC, PS3, and Xbox360 platforms with multiplayer. Seriously can not wait for this game. Check out these RAGE Screenshots.

Gran Turismo 5 Level 20 account and 2.44 mil Cr in one hour

gran-turismo-5-cheats-and-codes1-600x337 Gran Turismo 5 Level 20 account and 2.44 mil Cr in one hour

Due to Imposed Restrictions as of 3-2-2011 there are a few changes to this trick. First and foremost, they have limited the amount of cars you can gift per playstation(not account) to one. So if you have 3 PSN accounts on one PS3, you can only gift one car a day from one of the accounts, not one per account. Do not try using different IP’s either because they base it on your Playstation not IP address. Additionally, they imposed a limit on the cars themselves. Anything over 1,000,000 Cr. can not be gifted. If you two accounts set up this will still work for cars under 1,000,000 Cr. such as the Nascar Cars and the Japanese Race Cars. If you are looking to gain money, cars that can be sold have to be 499,999 Cr. or less. The Ferrari F-40 for 450,000 Cr. is the easiest to get and sells for around 135,000 Credits.

I know there is alot of separate posts for this game, but it is unbelievably awesome and addicting. Here is a little trick in Gran Turismo 5 that will work till 3-2-11 for easy credits and a butt load of expensive high level cars. Warning, this could ruin the game experience. I would suggest working your way up then doing this to round out your car collection.

In the seasonal events there are five races that specify a certain version of the car and you are set behind first place by about 40 seconds and have to catch up. If you are at least a level 7 this should be no problem. The one that pays out the highest will give you 800,000 Cr and 80,000 EXP than 620,000 Cr 62,000 EXP, 500,000 Cr and 50,000 EXP, 320,000 Cr and 32,000 EXP, and 200,000 Cr and 20,000 EXP. So now you have the idea. By the end of this you will have 2.44 million Cr and level 20 account in about an hour. I recommend the cars I used cause they performed well and always won, but if you have better ones in mind, go ahead.

First you will need a couple of extra accounts PSN accounts(free and easy to make, just add user from the users column then make new Playstation Account from the PSN column) and a compatible flash drive or portable USB drive to make this process easier. Reminder, you may only Gift one car a day from each profile so use it wisely. You can accept unlimited number of gifts but give only one per day.

In the PS3 menu and goto your saved data utility under the game column and find the Gran Turismo 5 save data, press the Triangle button and copy it to your external Drive or Flash Drive. Sign back into the game and gift a Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) ’02 (available from the Dealership) with all the tuning you can do to it then gift it to a second account you set up(you must be friends). Go back to the saved data utility, select your flash drive, press triangle again and copy back to your hard drive. It will ask to overwrite your current save, click yes. I strongly recommend that you back this save file up on your computer for safe keeping, it is located in a folder named PS3. Now you have the fully tuned car and did not have to pay for it, but this is a well known trick here is the good part.
Now goto your second account and sign into Gran Turismo and accept the gifted car. Race the final race to get your 800,000 Cr and it will push you up to Level 15. Save and backout to the PS menu and back up your save(DO NOT LOSE THIS ONE). Now get a high end Subaru and tune it out (this will be for the second highest race) complete it and then goto your garage and select the share with friends option.

Sign back into your main account and goto the profile tab. Click on the account you shared out the car with and navigate to the bottom of that profile screen to borrow that car. Finish the second race with the Subaru collect the EXP and Cr. Go back to your second account and do the same. Now you should be at least level 17 or 18. After this, you get the point of what you can do.

If you complete all five races, you should be a level 20 with 2.44 mil Cr and if you use the backup save, gift and restore option, you will be able to virtually gift any car you want once a day and not lose any credits. I used one account to load up all the five vehicles I needed, shared them all out, then set up three other accounts to do this, now I gift 4 cars a day with hardly no restrictions. If you play up your accounts a little more you can push them to level 23-24 and have almost enough Credits to purchase the high end race cars to round out your collection. Additionally, you can set the new accounts birthday to be the day you set them up and choose a year to receive a ticket for a car in the year you were “Born”. If you choose 67 or 69 especially, you can get those 20,000,000 Cr historic race cars that are great to drive. The car is chosen at random so if you use the backup and restore trick you can tip the balance in your favor. Sign into your account get the ticket, save and then backup, sign back in and receive the ticket in order to see what car you get. I am guessing you get the picture. Have fun and remember to have fun.

Dead Island Screenshot and Trailer

Allright, we have been through this classic tale over and over again, but Dead Island represents it in pretty cool fashion as the trailer depicts. The Dead Island screenshots are not bad either and who gets tired of chopping zombies to bits and watching all the blood and gore associated with it as well. Set in the tropical paradise of The Royal Palms resort in Papua New Guinea, this game features a more realistic fashion hack and slash fashion where you will not find weapons readily available around every corner and tucked away in the most auspicious of places. Instead you will hack and slash your way through the gritty world of Dead Island with Pipes, Knives, Axes, and weapons you would find in real life. From the Dead Island Screenshots the graphics seem amazing. So far the company Techland has announced playability with several characters with Dead Island and also the zombies have several different stages of their “zombieness” as well as new looks as you hack and slash through them. Look out for Dead Island for the PS3 and enjoy these Dead Island Screenshots and Trailer as well.

Art-of-Video-Games Art of Video Games at Smithsonian

Well, This topic has been and still is on debate whether or not video games can be considered an art form(which by technical definition of what art is, yes it can), but the Smithsonian is saying yes. They are planning the “Art of Video Games” exhibition and they are taking our input on what they should feature over the 40 years of gaming. The wining games will be in the exhibit once it opens, alongside 20 game systems and info on some of the top designers in the field. Go Vote Here.
