Cruden's Hexatech Racing Simulator IAAPA 2009:

It only costs $ 191,000! TOOK ME-LO!

I have been amazed when I saw what they have assembled to train military pilots. It is a flight simulator 120 which runs through dual core computers with a video card of $ 400 in each. The result is a simulator that will never see except in the following video from Kotaku:

I welcome enormously

a) to come into my temple sabiduríaaaa

b) the great success of The Sims 3 though and it was a few weeks before hacking into the networks . In the first week in stores, Sims 3 has sold 1.4 million units , which is quite an achievement.

Once again shows how important it is to open up gaming to a new audience, a casual audience, more feminine, that it is not very aware of what torrents are and who loves to play dollhouses. That if Politeness does not hot, and continue to make jewelry like Dead Space, that the "hardcore" also have the right.

Situation contrasts with that of the Sims, for example, GTA Chinatown Wars, which also leaked a few weeks before its official release and whose sales figures have been very low. What is the difference between Chinatown Wars and Sims? I say the audience it is directed and holding each of the sagas. It is radically different.

PS: Very Handsome SBK 09. I have everything hooked.

Alberto Cano asked me to write something about the DRM for your blog and I've done. My conclusion in the article that I invite you to read is that DRM is not the solution to piracy. I speak mostly of what happened with Spore, but recently has also been bundled "brown" with Gears of War for PC, thanks to the DRM protection was disabled . Until Microsoft fixes the problem, the solution is to change the date to the computer at any time prior to January 1, 2009 ....

The sector continues to casual thing, throwing nice and simple games that even come to consoles then. Lately they have come 2 sets which are selling quite well. This is the second part of Cake Mania and Diner Dash clone called Wedding Dash , which comes to weddings simulator. You see, the casual market has its own sagas and trends. At this time the simulation is emerging with the 2 games I've mentioned before and Alice Greenfingers , a new gardening simulator.

As for digital distribution of games, the thing is quite encouraging. Activision and Sega are encouraging near-simultaneous releases in both physical and virtual stores. Two examples of the arrival of these large multinationals are video game Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars , you can buy directly online for 39.99 euros, and Sonic Riders , which costs only 14.99 and has free trial version. There are more games of both houses distributed along with Eidos, which has long used the Internet to sell. Now available the latest Commandos: Strike Force and will soon be available other titles like Kane & Lynch, for example.

New casual games distributed by Internet:
- Cake Mania 2 .
- Wedding Dash .
- Alice Greenfingers .
- Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars .
- Sonic Riders .
- Commandos Strike Force .

The new Sims to arrive this fall for Wii and Nintendo DS have little to do with the PC. They are similar to Mii, Wii avatars, and the gameplay seems totalmetne different. All changes are in response to the desire of Electronic Arts to focus more on these platforms after the disappointment of the sales of PlayStation 3. By all accounts, both games will use and abuse of the new gameplay that allow both consoles.
