Rockness 2008 Initial Line Up
After the fantastic time I had a Rockness last year, especially grooving to Mark Ronson and Daft Punk on the Sunday night. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the line up to help make my mind up if I’ll make the pilgrimage to Loch Ness again in 2008; finally they’ve updated the website with the current listings, highlights including: FatBoy Slim, Editors and 2manydjs. I suppose mention should also go to The Cuban Brothers, who are always a good laugh.
GHP Radio mixes available for download
As previously mentioned, Mark Vidler of Go Home Productions fame has been making his back catalog available for download via his website. His latest, and last, offering from the GHP coffers is all of his radio mixes; 12 sets spanning 5 years for the likes of XFM, Radio 1, 6 Music and a selection of stations across the seven seas.
Anyways, all of the wares are direct links to MP3s over at gohomeproductions.co.uk
Deus Ex 3 Trailer
I may be a little slow off the mark with this one, but a teaser trailer for Deus Ex 3 has been released. The original Deus Ex remains, in my mind, one of the best games of all time and, despite Invisible War’s dumbed down console-tard interface, a fan of the series in general (although I have never played Project: Snowblind - Eidos’ ginger bastard child of the franchise).
I’m not getting my hopes up just yet, however. Rumour has it the third outing will be based upon the Crystal Dynamics engine, used in last years Tomb Raider: Legend. Yahtzee has some (as usual) excellent comments on this matter and the last thing we want is our prequel JC Denton handling like a cow in a supermarket trolley.
Time will tell, I guess.
In the mean time I’m happy there is something to look forward to on the horizon, although with a project release date in 2009 that might be so far on the horizon it hits me in the back of the head.
