Going Old School #1: Fighting Force

If you grew up in the 90's then you'd know that the original PlayStation was one of the greatest things to happen in video game history. With Sony's first home console being a great hit, we were blessed with a ton of awesome games that enriched our gaming childhood. Migoy and Bud revisit the old console with their modern perspective and see if these old games still hold up.

Fighting Force wasn't a game I owned but my uncle opened up a netshop in our province so during our holidays over there, we got to play for free. Me and my cousin Bud played this 3D beat-em-up game called Fighting Force. We enjoyed the game but since we were still idiot kids back then, nostalgia might have tainted our memory if this game is actually holds up.

Deus Ex sites hacked, 80,000 registered users at risk

First Sony now this? C'mon, is hacking the new trend today?

From Destructoid;

Oh for f*ck's sake.

Hackers have apparently decided to lay off Sony for bit, picking a new and unlikely target. The websites for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Eidos have recently been attacked, with the personal data of 80,000 registered users stolen, in addition to 9,000 resumes.

According to Krebs On Security, both sites temporarily sported a banner that read, "Owned by Chippy1337." Yet again, Anonymous has been brought up as a potential suspect, but with members of that "organization" currently eating each other, one cannot say this happened as part of a concerted effort.

Either way, this is bad news. I really hope the hacking of game companies doesn't become a "thing" now.

Not that much information yet about the game but expect Square Enix to show the game on this year's E3.  The game's site is also up but only provides the teaser video above.

Game director Tore Blystad is quoted as saying, “For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy. This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world.”

Hitman Absolution will be released for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
