Mercenary 2 – Oh No You Didn’t Song

By now I am sure you have seen the brilliant new advert for Mercenary 2 (EA Games), featuring stylised gameplay and that incredibly catchy song "Oh No You Didn't". If you haven't, here it is below.

I loved the song so much, I had to get the full version. Here is a link to download the full version of the MP3, for free.

Enjoy!

Spore Creature Creator Released

Spore Creature Creator has been released...and wow, it is incredible. The Spore team have managed to make something extremely complex, and intelligent, so easy to use. And fun!

The Creature Creator is exactly what you think it is. You create creatures for Spore. I think this is a clever idea from EA for 3 reasons: 1. Content is being created to fill the Spore Universe long before the actual game comes out. 2. It creates even more hype for the game. 3. Everyone who has been waiting for years alreasy for Spore is not going to hesitate to spend £5 ($10) on this product.

Top 10 Video Podcasts

I commute everyday for about 4 hours. This gives me a load of time to kill. There are various things I keep myself busy with. One of them is watching Video Podcasts. One of the main reasons I like video podcasts is because of the ease of getting new content on my iPod. Basically I just plug my iPod into my PC, and all the new podcasts come down automatically. The next morning i am ready to go. I also have a Pocket PC and PSP which I watch videos on. This involves finding new stuff to watch, converting it to the right format, then copying across. A few more steps than the podcasts.

When I first started out with my iPod, I battled to find any worthwhile video podcasts. So, now that I have have a good variety of podcasts, I am ready to share my bounty with you.

Flash/SWF/FLV embedding problem (Controls and Skin)

Are you having a problem with embedding of flash files on your site, where the controls/skin isn't showing, but they do show if you access the SWF directly?

I am not a big fan of Flash. And I have never used it on any of my websites. Unfortunately though, I have been redesigning a website for a friend which has forced me into this realm of Flash Frustration™.  There are about 400 flash videos on this site, so it is impossible to convert them to an alternate format.

Spore, from the creators of the Sims

Spore will be the next BIG thing. It will be HUGE. Everyone will be talking about this game. From September 2008, the gaming world will change.

The rumours about Spore started around 2003/2004. The enthusiasts in us have been watching and waiting patiently for a long time. Since then there have been loads of delays, but finally a release date has been anounced : September 2008! This is brilliant news, I have already pre-ordered my copy (you can pre-order yours too buy clicking on the link...)

So, what is Spore? Let me break it down for you. It is life. Sort of. You start out as a "Spore", a single celled entity swimming around in a drop of water. You end up creating an entire race! There is lots in between, but I will do a full article about this soon, detailing the ins and outs of this game. Trust me, it is EPIC!
