Eidos confirms Deus Ex 3 is an RPG

The community manager at Eidos has indeed confirmed that Deus Ex 3 is an RPG. Essentially it is a hybrid action / RPG game just like the first one. Moreover he added that it is a game with a very detailed plot and takes a consequence driven multi-path, multi-solution approach in a non linear sequence.

Deus Ex 3 is indeed an RPG. It's a hybrid action/RPG just like the first game. There is a skill system where you upgrade your character (Adam) based off experience points you earn and you can do the same thing with weapons. It's a game with a very detailed plot with numerous characters you interact with. The gameplay takes the form of a consequence-driven multi-path, multi-solution approach in a non-linear space.

For stealth, that is another major pillar of gameplay and we do have it. The difference is that it's now cover-based rather than "shadow/light-based" as in the past games.

Hopefully that makes Andy and the rest of you a litte less sad!

The details are 'sketchy' it says, but with Resident Evil 5 taking a big chunk of the Tokyo Games Show, it could be true.

TV, video games not related to nightmares: study

"Television and computer games aren't to blame for dark dreams about things that go bump in the night, according to a new study that finds no link between children's viewing or gaming habits and their nightmares.

The research debunks popular wisdom as well as previous studies in which parents and children reported that frightening dreams were triggered by TV programs.

"We found no correlation between the amount of TV watching and computer game playing and nightmare frequency," says Michael Schredl, head of research for the Sleep Laboratory at Germany's Central Institute of Mental Health."

Netflix comes to xbox360

The 10.3 million owners of Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game player will be able to use it to stream thousands of movies from Netflix, the video "rentailer," the two companies announced in Los Angeles on Monday. Beginning this fall, Netflix subscribers will be able to stream 10,000 movies and television shows onto their TV sets using the Xbox 360 device. Currently Netflix's online streaming service works only with PCs, unless subscribers buy a $100 converter box. The announcement came just one day after Microsoft announced that it was cutting the price of its 20Gb game player to $300.

Do you plan on using this? Or will you just download films to your pc and stream them? A video rental service is on the ps3 now (only in america unless you watch the video below) do you think these will be a success? I have always wanted to try buying a film on the 360 marketplace but just before I press ok I think "mmm do i really want to waste points on this?"

Tell me your thoughts and experiences with this in the comments.

Welcome to my space (get it??)

Hello all! Over the coming weeks, months, (the dream) years I will be posting on this blog as often has I can. My aim (and please take this seriously I have this planned out using pens and everything) is to bring who ever happens to stumble over this blog all the latest info on games, movies, music and my life in general. I aim to bring you all this and more in a fun and entertaining way.

Has this is my first blog I will start by telling you a little about myself, I am a male (there the one's with the dangly bits) aged 23, from England (there the one's that use to rule everyone) I go to university in Manchester and take Computing and I like putting "funny" asides in my writing ( no shit Sherlock!)

The reason I have made this blog is because I am actually quite bored at the moment, I have seen many blogs on this site (I usually look at them to see the newest eps of lost and smallville!) and like always I love to jump on the bandwagon... 4 or 5 years after everyone else has!

Anyway If you have any questions please leave a comment, I'm going to post this now because I want to know what its going to look like, and what screen comes up next! Welcome to MY space I hope you enjoy it!
