But who is he? Neill Blomkamp has apparently done a sci-fi short film and some 3d work for Smallville and an episode of Dark Angel long after I stopped watching it, but I really couldn’t tell you anything about him. Except that he’s apparently from South Africa.
Honestly his tiny portfolio ([url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0088955/]which seems to be purely 3d animation[/url]) doesn’t mean he will disappoint us. Maybe the move will mostly be 3d rendered? Who knows at this point.
I guess he can’t be worse than Uwe Boll.

[url=http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=10413]While this article[/url] (Gamasutra) is a little vague, it seems to indicate that Atari will be publishing Bullet Witch here. Which is good news, because I am rapidly finding out that there is no guarantee that Japanese games will be region free or get a release here, and I’m not modding my 360.
I know some people are very psyched about this game. I have my doubts, but I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t look fun.
Homebrew development has been around for a while and occasionally a decent game will come out, but I just caught a link to a site where they have ported over various Doom games to run on the DS with pics of the DS Lite running the game. Pretty sweet if you ask me. The port doesn’t make use of the touch screen, but it does have full WiFi access. Can you say portable multiplayer Doom?

On August 17th, you will be able to play the multiplayer component of FEAR free, as much as you want. They are making the game a free download like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Sounds good to me!

Additional thanks to Wytefang for pointing this out earlier.
I don’t want to turn into a “deals” website, but I do want to point out that Woot.com has a sweet deal today:
Saitek Cyborg Graphite USB Joystick – 2 Pack for $11.99 + $5 for shipping. If you are in the market for these, get over there soon as I doubt they will have enough stock to make it through this afternoon.
Get them [url=http://www.woot.com/]here[/url].
