Evil Empire Gaming

Hey look what just popped into the EvEm news desk in-tray: Serious Sam 2 screenshots! Relic sent us a heads up for this page on the Game Connect Magazine website. It looks like Far Cry, Halflife 2 and JubJub: The Ewok Adventure all rolled into one great game.

Wow check this out, I can't wait to get my XP tricked out with all this eye candy. Without much fanfare MS has released a sneak peak at the Windows XP theme to be released soon. Apparently it'll be a free download for all XP Home and Professional users. I'm not sure about the name though. Either it's a lame sexist joke about the well endowed interface or it's a reference to the performance sapping characteristics of the transparent windows. They could have thought of something better like 'Grey Steel' or 'Cold Storm' or "Glowey Buttons' or something.

Read on for some more screenshots of all this themey goodness from Microsoft.

While Battlefield 2 seems to be getting sexier everyday with all these screenshots we're seeing I've not ever seen a comamnder screen and I think this is it. Got it from TotalBF2.

This looks like the perfect "I will take over the whole world!" desktop setup for playing Evil Genius. Oh sure sure it has about a thousand other sensible practical uses but think of the games!

After buying my Razer Diamondback mouse I've discovered what true romance with peripheral hardware can mean. I bought the spiffy red glowing 'Salamanda' version. But then I got this newsletter in my inbox from Razer proclaiming a new Diamondback; the limited edition "Plasma". Mmmmmmmm.

Oh man I got to have one, I know it's exactly the same as the one I've got but... well.... this one blue! And it's a Limited Edition!
