Launched an open beta Star Trek Online
Today launched the open beta MMORPG Star Trek Online. Fans of space games and popular television series barely lived to see this momentous day, but now they have a holiday, and we only hope that no one on happiness is not enough for a heart attack, or delirium tremens. Beta will last for two weeks, until 26 January, then will be a short break, and on February 2 game server would be available for subscribers.Recall that in the Star Trek Online players will be able to play for the United Federation of Planets or the Klingon Empire. Being in the television series allies in the game factions would be at odds. And that's not the freedom of developers, but tricky course with the explosion of a supernova, because of which the world Star Trek burst relativistic paradox, being returned back and the old treaties of alliance were terminated because they had not been concluded.
Developers promise to provide players for flights recognizable models of ships, to arrange meetings with popular characters and even allowed to visit the bridge game frigates and cruisers. Will Star Trek Online to become as popular as EVE Online? Interesting question, and answer it now hardly anyone will undertake. But one more space IMO - this is in any case, cool. Unless, of course, does not frighten the implementation.

Sam Fisher is again blocking
Already seems to be firmly assigned to the Day of Defender of the Fatherland released Splinter Cell: Conviction was unexpectedly postponed. Ubisoft did not name any valid reasons for this, just tell in their financial projections, that the game will be released, probably in April. Given how the cost to the previous date, which was quite even "likely", can decide to believe "yubikam" or not.Recall that we are already tired of recall than the popular Superman Sema fishermen will engage in Splinter Cell: Conviction. If Ubisoft lasts a year or two (no one was bad?), Then the game turned into an anecdote, like Duke Nukem Forever. We hope, however, at best, but our preview here it is .
Defender's Day from Napoleon
Strategy Napoleon: Total War will go on sale on February 23 this year. We may assume that SEGA has closed "release window, open, resulting from the Splinter Cell: Conviction. It is unlikely that the Japanese will wait the words of gratitude from Ubisoft, but gamers they would surely say thank you. If the date will be sustained, and the number of bugs would be acceptable.Napoleon: Total War talk about the glorious beginning and the disgraceful end of the military way of the famous military leader and emperor. The game promised three campaigns: the Italian, Egyptian and Russian with a finale at Waterloo. It is interesting to see whether it is possible to rewrite the story, and if so, how we will bring to Waterloo, where we all win? And suggest that you visit our site games, where you can see a few trailers.

Dedicated server for Bad Company 2 would have to rent
After refusing to Infinity Ward to maintain dedicated servers for the computer version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 theme seems to have become sick. Competitors Activision first one and all declared that they have already something with dedicated servers will be all right. However, gradually began to be evident that the sales of Modern Warfare 2 restriction does not affect: people ponyl, but still buys. This means that the actions of Infinity Ward contain some grain of truth. For example, ignoring the interests of computer users for profit from them miserable, but there are many problems ...Today, developers are expected direct competitor Modern Warfare 2, shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 began to mumble that the dedicated servers they keep going, but not all, but only those that will be rented ... the developers. It was stated by the producer of the game Gordon Van Dyke (Gordon Van Dyke). According to his assertions, this is done not for profit - the latter just is not expected - but for the convenience of players and protect the game.
Why profit is not expected, the producer is not explained. Perhaps, DICE is going to take the server in rent is not for money but for the bottle caps of Pepsi-Cola, or maybe for money, but all proceeds will go to professional fees to combat piracy - the version can be varied. But not the point.
Developers Bad Company 2, it seems, once again going to fight windmills. As previously tried to make fellow competitors from Infinity Ward. But protecting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been broken after a few days after the game, and still later came emulator dedicated server, and the pirates once again celebrated victory. Lost as usual in such cases, honest users who are faced with many inconveniences. How would a similar story did not happen, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
