1308122 2012-10-22 04:24:00 Because quite a lot happened in the gaming world over the last week (15th-21st) I decided to roll it all into one thread instead of posting multiple threads.

The WarZ:

This game is basically a MMO f2p DayZ clone, it's currently in closed alpha testing. In the T&C's players had to agree to was an edited version of the LoL (League of Legends) T&C's.
See here: www.reddit.com 10/10 for failing. The WarZ is to DayZ what Wheedle is to TradeMe imo.

RacingRoom Racing:

RacingRoom Racing is a f2p racing sim developed by SimBin (Developers of GTR, Race 07 and STCC). This week they added the Saleen S7R car to the "teaser" version of the game which is avaliable for free via steam. The closed beta has also started and sign ups are available in the "teaser". I'm downloading this right now to see if we finally have a decent f2p option for racing fans (apart from TM).

Rocksmith:

Ubisoft has once again managed to piss of PC gamers by shipping retail copies of Rocksmith without an activation key.

Ubisoft has gone from making their PC games near unplayable due to DRM to actually unplayable due to DRM.

Ubisoft is a joke. They should quit while they are behind...

1308123 2012-10-22 05:02:00 Wow that's pretty bad! :D

Yeah I'm thoroughly enjoying DayZ. Can't wait until the standalone comes out, the screenshots so far look fantastic!

1308124 2012-10-22 06:02:00 i dont get the thing about War Z, could someone explain it a bit more icow, that link has the first post deleted GameJunkie (72)
1308125 2012-10-22 08:17:00 No the link works.
Basically they copied the EULA from LoL (Which itself is a DotA spin-off).

WarZ is a spin-off to try and beat DayZ to market.

Yep - I got an email from nzgameshop to advise me of this issue and I guess what has been done to remedy it in part. At least it was good of nzgameshop to give me a heads up before the product arrived.

1308129 2012-10-28 06:06:00 So I've been playing The RacingRoom teaser for about 3hrs now. It's a fantastic racing sim and I would recommend to anyone who loves racing games.

Been working my way up the leaderboard. I currently sit 1300th with a laptime of 1:24.799, best bit is that the lap is still rubbish in my mind and I can see about a billion things I can improve at. I'm personally shooting for top 100.

1308130 2012-10-28 07:19:00 is there another car in the racing room now?? GameJunkie (72)
1308131 2012-10-28 18:36:00 Yeah if you select bonus challenge on the main menu it lets you drive the Saleen S7R on a different variation of the track. icow (15313)
