GamerVision.com has put up their review of Demigod, and gives it an 8.5 and “Buy It'” recommendation! “It should be easy to pick up for RTS advocates, different enough for anyone unfamiliar with the genre, and simply bliss for fans of Defense of the Ancients. Though it's likely worth waiting until the multiplayer issues are resolved, it's easy to recommend purchasing Demigod for anyone interested in epic battles of godly proportions.” Link: GamerVision.com

Since we should hopefully be into our new house around June, I thought it was time to start planning out my new home office.  With this new house, I had to give up a dedicated room for an office so the kids can all have their own room.  No big deal though, as I have taken a part of the formal living room and made that the space for my new area. I was wondering how my network was actually setup, and if there was anything I could do to consolidate some things, or if there was anythi...

Out of Eight PC Game Reviews has taken on Demigod, and gives it a 8/8! “Demigod is a wonderful mixture of constant action, strategy, and role-playing. The game is approachable yet provides strategic depth thanks to the numerous upgrades and equipment you can outfit your character with. The eight demigods offer an option (or three) for every play style: melee, support, ranged, magic, or army commander. In addition, each individual demigod can be developed down several paths, further ext...

Whether you want to change a specific icon within Windows, or replace the default application icon in ObjectDock, we have two icon galleries on WinCustomize that will help.  We have some really awesome icon artists that come up with some great new designs for icons, or build off the default icon of an application and put their own personal touch on it. This is especially true for more common applications like Photoshop or Microsoft Office, but you can find pretty much anything in the i...

They are trying to do all they can to ensure the best possible gameplay allowed. It is also stated that additional arenas are in the works, and depending...

Obama thinks so, but of course, “harsh” to liberals means anything uncomfortable like making someone watch the View or listen to Janeane Garafalo for an hour.  The left says that we can’t torture because we need to be the “moral” leaders in the world, which is funny considering they usually chastise people who talk about being moral.  The right says these interrogations are necessary to save American lives from more terrorism. What does an Admiral, an intelligence director, think...

Going through the news today I came across the latest review of Demigod, this time from the crew over at ActionTrip.com.  Overall, Demigod received an 8.0 from ActionTrip! “Demigod looks good and is well-animated. It has some big flashy effects and really nice audio to boot, both sound effects and music wise. While Gas Powered Games may have accomplished their goal of stripping out the fluff from the RTS experience, for some players they might have gone too far by not including an...
