Okay, wow. So this is Action DooM 2: Urban Brawl. It’s the prequel to Action DooM which, back in the day when I was (a small) part of the doom community, was a total conversion that redefined the boundaries of what was possible with the doom source code.
Lucky for me, tonight, I was bored with the games I have and was browsing the web for free stuff. I realised the doom community is always full of some really fun, really free, content. So I headed over to doomworld.com.
So imagine my surprise, as with completely no knowledge that it had ever been in Scuba Steve’s head, this absolutely kick ass mod drops itself onto my PC. I was a bit worried that i’d have to install zdoom and track down my doom2 wad – but the download came in a package containing everything.
Urban Brawl is the prequel to the events of Action DooM, but instead of takings its cues off run n’ gun gaming, it follows in the sweet ass footsteps of classic 16bit era beat em up’s.
The game mixes comic inspired graphics with awesome 80s video gameish music tracks.

Albeit an hour and 10 minutes later than it’s last timeslot.
To be honest, I expected the airing of two back to back episodes a fortnight ago to be Ten’s attempt to clear out the left over Burn they had stinking up the fridge.
I guess I was wrong, and apart from the frequent start / stop of the series it seems Ten is beginning to treat fan’s a bit better.
So set your alarms for 9:40 tonight, apparently all of Ten’s programming is pushed back by 10 minutes – blame the usual culprit (no, not Rove!), Australian Idol.
So there it is. Sit through 90210 and you’ll be rewarded with some of the coolest spy work to go down in Miami in the last couple of decades.

My weekend in gaming
Monday again. The weekend is over, and as per usual, it was far too short.
Despite that, I managed to wrangle some pretty diverse gaming out of my limited time.
I’m not proud, but it’s time to admit – I am lost in Final Fantasy 1. I’ve attempted to work through it, and it feels pretty awesome to know my party has sustained itself since Tuesday without venturing into a town to heal, but I honestly need more satisfaction from my portable gaming time.
Enter Mega Man 3. The upcoming Mega Man 9 with it’s retro graphics and gameplay has captured my attention – and when the time comes, will capture my dollar too.
Honestly, if you’d asked me 6 months ago if a game that could run on NES would have me eagerly awaiting confirmation of it’s release date (and price), I’d call you crazy, and go back to COD4.
So what’s changed? I think a lot has to do with Bionic Commando Rearmed, the perfect game to bridge the gap. The classic gameplay with updated graphics and remixed sound is the exact stepping stone required for Capcom to profit from this bold move.
The odd thing is, I’ve never played a Mega Man title (I jumped from the 2600 to the Master System II), and only witnessed one being played once – I was about 11 years old, and probably displaying my first signs of fanboyism. If I remember correctly my verdict was that the game was too forgiving, the player received health from almost every downed foe.
So to give myself a little heads up before 9 dropped, I loaded up my PSP with nesterJ, and knowing only that the series got off on the wrong foot, Mega Man 3 seemed as good a place to start as any.
Forbes is reporting an interesting little story about an interesting little game called Spore. Heard of it? Well it appears lots have, but it looks like its Spores secuROM DRM that’s getting all the attention yet again. Many are calling EAs latest anti-piracy attempt a failure. But how do you judge the failure of a copy protection system? According to forbes.com, just count the pirates…
As of Thursday afternoon, “Spore” had been illegally downloaded on file-sharing networks using BitTorrent peer-to-peer transfer 171,402 times since Sept. 1
But does that make it the most pirated game ever? Well the answer isn’t that clear cut.
