This is a video I created for the Object Desktop website. It’s showing how you can take a “normal” Windows desktop and transform it into something much more using the included desktop enhancement components.
We made a new promo video for Object Desktop 2010, and I wanted to share.
Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment are pleased to announce pre-orders for the upcoming Sins of a Solar Empire micro-expansion, Diplomacy. After 25 years of war, some elements of the TEC, Vasari and Advent have grown weary of conflict and desperately seek a respite. The decision is made to attempt peaceful negotiations to end the wars, but others view this new effort at diplomacy as the perfect means to destroy their enemies from within.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy will add a new Diplomacy tech tree, new envoy cruisers, the ability to issue missions to other players, trade pacts, an entirely new relationship system, deadlier pirates and more.

The much anticipated Resident Evil 5 from Capcom has arrived and is available for purchase on Impulse.
The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilizing a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, players will be able to assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will have players fearing the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.
Resident Evil 5 is available today for the Americas and Asia (excluding Japan and Korea). World-wide release (excluding Japan/Korea) will be on September 18th.

With it being a rainy weekend here in Florida, I finally got a chance to catch up on some gaming I have been missing out on. The game that dominated most of my time was the Tropico 3 demo. As you might have read before, I am a huge fan of the Tropico series so I was very excited to try out the demo.
Upon starting the game, I highly recommend playing through the tutorial. It’s quick and introduces you to the basics of the game. After that you will be able to create your own character with its own personality traits, something which is new to Tropico. Of course, you can also choose one of the pre-selected rulers such as Fidel Castro, Manuel Noriega, etc.
I decided to make my own capitalist-based El Presidente.
Well the coffee is ready, the days events are all planned out, so lets go ahead and take a look at the featured skins from this past weekend. I notice the holiday themes are starting to pick up.
The fine folks at Shacknews.com grabbed some screenshots of Elemental: War of Magic and gave them a thorough look. “While the art style for Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic is pretty snazzy, screenshots are really only showing half of the story. During a live demonstration at PAX, the other half became immediately apparent: it's all about the zoom.” Read the full article at Shacknews.com .
