The Top 5 Most Graphically Insane Games For 2011

#5 Gears Of War 3
Epic Games are pretty well known to push the boundaries of visualization beyond limits. They did that with Gear of War and Gears of War 2 and they are all set to surpass all of their previous achievements with the third iin the genre defining series, Gears of War 3. The game is already looking spectacular and with almost a year left before it’s releases Epic Game’s third entry in to the Gears of War saga will make people’s jaw drop.

#4 Killzone 3
With levels ten times bigger than in Killzone 2, this is Helghan like you’ve never seen it before. You’ll face brutal combat in a host of environments that threaten to bury you on the deadly planet. Killzone 3 will see you trudge through toxic nuclear wastelands, get lost in a lethal alien jungle, fight in bitter arctic conditions and take the battle into space as you fight against Helghast domination. Killzone 3 will be fully playable in Stereoscopic 3D, immersing you more deeply into the ferocious world and putting you at the heart of the action.

#3 Rage
Built on id Software’s newest game engine, id Tech5, RAGE is an all-new take on the first person shooter genre by adding combination of racing and rpg elements. Every object in the game will be different and if you have seen all those crazy E3 demonstrations than you may have an idea on what I am talking about.

#2 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Third in the Uncharted trilogy, Drakes Deception see’s the return of adventure hero Nathan Drake and his loveable rogue mentor, Victor Sullivan. Sony recently revealed that the new game will be improved in many areas including combat and multiplayer. It has also been announced that Uncharted 3 will be in 3D, which should help sales of 3D TV’s. With its award-winning storytelling, blockbuster cinematic action sequences, immersive high resolution 3D and stunning environmental detail and effects, Uncharted 3 is already looking better than Among Thieves.

#1 Crysis 2
In Crysis 2, the aliens have returned with a full invasion force bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of mankind. In New York, terrifying alien invaders stalk the streets and a nightmare plague strikes down the city’s myriad inhabitants with brutal epidemic speed. Built on Crytek’s new state-of-the art multiplatform game development system, Cry Engine 3, Crysis 2 will simply blow away players with its mind boggling visuals.

GML Graffiti Markup Language

As we enter a new decade, Graffiti also enters into a new realm of 2.0 with digital graff not just being a novel way of getting up, but a serious mode of archiving and analysing typographic techniques and allowing writers the ability to make their work transcend from the streets to our screens. Here are some of the current methods of digital graffiti available as open source code to the public.....


"Today's new digital standard for tomorrow's vandals."

Dust Tag v1.0 is an iPhone App which enables artists to create, record and render 3D images of their creations all with finger taps. Dust Tag records the creation of a tag in motion, analyzes the end product and archives it in a free and open database where artists can share their work not just in traditional 2D pictorial format.

Laser Tag. In its simplest form the Laser Tag system is a camera and laptop setup, tracking a green laser point across the face of a building and generating graphics based on the laser's position which then get projected back onto the building with a high power projector.

G.R.L., Open Frameworks and graffiti legend Tempt1 have teamed-up to bring you the latest weapon of ocular assault: the EyeWriter. Source code, free software, HOW TO guide, videos and eye tags by Tempt1 available at eyewriter.org.

Graffiti Analysis is an extensive ongoing study in the motion of graffiti. Custom software designed for graffiti writers creates visualizations of the often unseen motion involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived in a free and open database, 000000book.com, where writers can share analytical representations of their hand styles.

The Ultimate Gifts That We Wont Be Receiving

Every year, Bornrich do a great list of hardcore presents/gifts for rich people to give to each other and hot damn, I wouldn't mind receiving some of these things! But let's get realistic...I'm never going to receive them so instead, I present to you a small selection of the ridiculously priced gifts that I will never be able to afford...

Arkeg’s Drink ‘n’ Game is a gaming arcade loaded with the choicest games and a five-gallon keg to hold your handpicked thirst quencher. It’s a machine that features a fully functioning kegerator with room for a five-gallon keg kept cool by a solid-state thermoelectric cooling system. In addition, it sports a gaming-ready PC, pre-loaded with 69 games such as Asteroids, Mortal Kombat II and 1942. Other features include a 24-inch LCD with protective overlay, an authentic backlit marquee, a 2.1 sound system with powered sub, two complete arcade controllers, a trackball mounted in a custom aluminum panel and a side-mounted tap with interchangeable handle and more. For all this fun, all you’ll have to shed is $4,000.

BMW DesignworksUSA has decided to infuse some of BMW’s design principles to computer cases. Say hello to the BMW Computer Case targeted squarely at gamers who love cutting edge stuff. The BMW computer case makes sure that all the wires and game processors are enclosed in a sharp looking exterior case. This will let gamers indulge in their passion without the annoying wires and equipment creating an eyesore.

This gadget is an external speaker system for your bicycle. The Cy.Fi speaker is a handy little speaker that fits on your cycle’s handlebars and belts out all your favorite tunes, loud and clear, wirelessly. You can control volume and your song list from the speaker itself. To do this, it needs your iPod to transmit the music via Kleer, a much more efficient audio transmission technique compared with Bluetooth 2.0. The Kleer dongle for the iPod is included in the package, which costs $149.


The Athena Multimedia Sofa is a trendy upholstered sofa that has a couple of multimedia touchscreen computers at either end. These computers will do everything other regular computers do, in addition to beaming out satellite TV. All this, along with the Sofa’s luxurious upholstery makes it a compelling option for couch lovers. Only the very rich couch potatoes may be able to afford the Athena Multimedia Sofa, which sells at a shocking $15,436

For the die-hard anime fan with an immense fortune to fulfill even the weirdest of their dreams, this Gundam figurine in pure platinum (pt10000) from Bandai would just be their perfect gift! The figurine measures 125mm and weighs 1.4kg and is made of 100% pure platinum for an outrageous price tag of $250,000.

UK Internet Ranks 25th - 'Not Fit For The Future'

Research sponsored by Cisco has ranked the world’s broadband networks, with the UK performing poorly in 25th place.

The research was based on 24 million speed tests performed in 66 countries. The ratings focused on both download and upload speeds, as well as latency, combined with broadband penetration to create an overall index of quality.
Sitting atop the table was South Korea then Japan, whose super-fast broadband was already judged to be fit for future applications such as streaming High Definition video.
At 25th, the UK came behind Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia to name a few. In fact both Bulgaria and Latvia had “ready for tomorrow” rated networks.
We’ll still be lagging just a tad behind South Korea, a country which is talking about having widespread 1Gbps by 2012. Yes – 1000Mbps. Makes you want to cry into your router…

Pyramid PC Custom Case Mod


If you've seen Stargate then you'll recognise this creation by Modder Gup. It features a moving side panel and built in lights which can all be operated by remote control. Inside the Pyramid you won’t find mummies, but you will find a 5" screen with an Intel T7200 Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR2 Ram and a 160GB hard drive. Check out the video below which shows the design and development stages all the way through to the finished product.

Joytron Singibigi

What I like about the Joytron Singibigi is that it is very much old school. Not only does it bring back the days when video game controllers were actual joysticks, and buttons were concave and very big, but it brings back the wooden look. Not that fake plastic wood, but real wood.
It can work with PS3, PS2, and PCs with USB. What’s the cost of this nice looking gaming accessory? US$39. Bargain.

Napkin PC Concept


This nice concept idea for a PC uses e-ink and RF technology. The Napkin PC is designed for group collaborations. Each pen transmits your doodles to the base station which is actually a PC in disguise. That information gets processed and displayed on the napkin like e-ink paper.
