ID:	602394Minecraft's "Adventure Update" has officially arrived, previously only available through semi-official channels after an unexpected leak last week. If you already have Minecraft on your system there's no need to download a new client, just launch your existing version and it'll update itself for you.

    Minecraft 1.8 adds these key features to the game:

    * New biomes: You'll encounter new scenery like swamps, forests, oceans, rivers, caves, underground dungeons, and abandoned mines. There are treasures everywhere, but there are also monsters.

    * New mobs. You'll be facing the Endermen, Cave Spiders and Silverfish. Tip: the Endermen will ignore you at first, but they'll attack you, after you look away.

    * New health system. Food is now stackable. Eating food no longer immediately restores your health. Instead, health slowly regenerates after your food bar is full.

    * New blocks. You can now build gates for fences and iron bars. There are the vines, glass panes, and stone bricks as well.
    Weapons. Weapons can hand critical hits. You can deliver critical damage if you hit an enemy while falling.

    * NPC towns. You'll find randomly generated houses and villages. They're still ghost cities because NPCs are only coming in 1.9.

    * Survival Mode. This forces players to hunt for food or build a farm to stay alive.

    * Creative Mode. You'll have unlimited resources to create any stuff that's on your mind or constructions on massive proportions.

  • CS:GO gets a substantial content update
    by rec
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was just updated again, making a number of changes and additions to the game. The default map has been switched from Inferno to Train, which appears to be a far better recreation than Inferno, apart from the fog issue. There are also a bunch of new weapons: the Para, the TEC-9 Pistol, the SG 552 (pictured), and the AUG....

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta impressions
    by rec
    I've been shooting some face in the CS:GO beta for the first time this evening, and there's quite a bit to talk about. I should preface this impressions article with the note that while I used to play at a national level, it has been years since I've delved into any CS in any serious capacity. I'm sure there will be a number of current day elitists out there who disagree with my opinions, but I'm not claiming this as gospel, so append as much or as little weight to these opinions as you care to....

    Who here is looking forward to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive?
