Here you have a little more information about Hunted: The Demon’s Forge. And by the looks of it… It looks very interesting to me, and a lot of rpg fun. But please don’t let me tell what to think, see for your self and decide
Hunted, a fantasy action game, is a fresh take on the classic dungeon crawl experience that delivers the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter. The warrior Caddoc and the huntress E’lara must fight their way through besieged towns, sprawling dungeons, and ancient ruins as they become entwined in a tale of corruption and deceit. The two must combine Caddoc’s brute strength with E’lara’s deadly accuracy to vanquish a horde of foul creatures and untangle the mystery of the Demon’s Forge, gaining access to unstoppable magic and an arsenal of weaponry hidden by ancient puzzles along the way.
So there are those assholes out there that want to earn money on other person’s misfortune or just screwing with them… Along with those people I’m thinking of hackers… There’s no news that they have found ways to hack an xbox live account with offering free ms points, and that the landing pages are in fact full with tracking cookies that copy your login to xbox live. This was not the case for me unfortunately, so I still don’t know how this happened to me… I just wanted to say this…
For about 3 -4 weeks ago my gamertag/xbox live account was hacked. I came in contact with the person who possessed the account relatively fast and told him/her that I know he had hacked it and I wanted it back, in the beginning it looked like I was going to get the account back that same day… But no, he contacted the person he had bought it from and he said I was lying and just tried to scam him. They even came up with a screen shot where I was supposed to have sold the account the first time…. Well think about this for a moment… I had just bought the First Strike DLC for CoD Black Ops and my xbox live account have a gold membership that is due in November, and I have a lot of other DLC’s on that account… Do you think I would have sold my account for the petty price of $5.00 USD??? I mean… what goes through a persons mind when he thinks this is not a scam???
So after he decided not to give it back to me I had to report it to my local xbox support, they where very helpful and I had to answer a few security questions before they could make a case out of it. Unfortunately it took 1 week before the account was blocked from the person’s xbox so he was already starting to get used to my account, that means that he started to delete my friends and add new ones… and he changed the gamertag… After he got blocked from the account on the xbox, does it look like he have entered via the internet and tried to sell it to his friends and to get access to their accounts instead… what an asshole…
Anyway, it took Microsoft 3-4 weeks to investigate the event and give it back to me, and in the meantime they gave me a 1 month free of charge xbox live gold membership. Also when I got the account back I got 800 points to change my gamertag if it was changed and I also got 50 of my 850 points back, that meant that I would have been 800 in minus as he did change the GT. I called my local support again and told them that, they made a new case on it and after about 48 hours I had the rest of my 800 points back, although these 800 points would expire in 30 days. For me that was no problem as I was supposed to use those points anyway, but I did not get that information about that the points would expire, this was something I found out my self.
The mail from Microsoft contained information of what I had to change back and/or delete from the new email and the live account. It also contained information of how I can make my live id more secure, in ways I wasn’t aware of.
So this is how you can secure your hotmail or live id better:
Add an alternate email.
Add a trusted pc.
Add a trusted mobile phone.
I haven’t thought about this before but it suddenly hit me… Microsoft is the owners of hotmail/msn and this is why you have to use one of those id’s to you gamertag.
Here do you have a video that show’s how xbox live enforcement works.
So here you got it… Another Teaser from EA of Battlefield 3… and by the looks of it, it looks awsome with graphics and all
There have been some rumors regarding project for Prey 2, and they seem to be true with a release in 2012.
Below will you find the press release and the announcement trailer.
March 14, 2011 (London, UK) — Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Prey® 2, the sequel to the popular 2006 game, is scheduled for release in 2012 and will be available for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows. First details on the game will be revealed in the May issue of PSM3.
Prey 2 is being developed by Human Head Studios, the studio that created Prey, the original, award-winning game. Prey 2 is being built on the cutting edge id tech engine from id Software.

I’ve been lucky enough to get a review copy and it was this game, so I first of all want to say thanks.
When you start the game you can choose to either start Ego Draconis or Flames of Vengeance. The difference here is that Eco Draconis are the original Divinity 2, and Flames of Vengeance is an expansion, so if you choose ED you can customise your char as you want and continue with it in FoV. But you can also start right away in FoV with either a preset character or make a custom char; you will anyway be given a certain amount of money for lost gear and start on level 35. The story starts with you as a dragon slayer, and by that you will get some neat gifts and supposed to choose your first major fighting skill. In my review of the demo I talked about the music/sounds and the graphics, and I must say I still think the graphics are great and the music isn’t that annoying. I could on the other hand be without the sounds when you enter and use the menu, because you will be using it a lot to enter your inventory and so on.
You will also hear a lot about the battle tower in the loading info and how you can send your items to your battle chest, well don’t think it will come in the beginning. You will have to level up to about 20 before you can even think of getting in, so everything you are thinking of holding on to for later… Don’t, just sell it if you’re not using it, and don’t think that you will get more for the item later on in another city because you won’t do that either. When you level up you will not just get stat points to build you char, but you will get 1 skill point for each level. With this skill points can you choose to mix your skill between Ranger, Warrior, Mage, Priest and Dragon Slayer, or you can just specify one if you think that would benefit your play style better. You can also get more than 5 points per skill, but not before you have been talking with your battle trainer in you battle tower.
Also, you can find equipment with skill attributes on them, but this will not exceed the total skill points. I haven’t finished the game yet, but I’ve reached level 34. But I wish that they had the monsters that you kill out in the open would re-spawn so you wouldn’t have to rely on the quests/side quests to level up. Anyway, at least you can choose to get more additional experience when you finish a quest, you can also choose money and items. I’ve encountered a couple of bugs on the way, but none that ruins the game experience and it’s in the late game. Anyway, I think Larian Studios are working on them and will probably have a new free DLC ready to fix the remaining bugs very soon, but don’t worry about that, you will still have a lot of great game play throughout the game and it’s still worth it and it has also become one of my favourite games.
So I would recommend this for those who like the traditional rpg’s and like to search for things on their own without too much arrows and such to show you the way.

March 1, 2011 (London, UK) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Lucy Lawless will lend her voice to the fantasy action game, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge™. Hunted is a fresh take on the classic dungeon crawl experience that delivers the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter. It will be available in North America on June 1st and throughout Europe June 3rd on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.
“Hunted is an incredibly dark, intense game and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work on such a thrilling project,” said Lucy Lawless. “After playing the heroine for so long it’s refreshing to portray such a villainous, seductive temptress!”
In Hunted, Lawless voices the character of Seraphine, an adventurer-turned-temptress. Under the influence of the Demon Forge’s ancient and powerful evil, she appears as a spirit guide that lures Caddoc and E’lara, the game’s protagonists, into a dark and twisted adventure with promises of great wealth and power.
Under development at inXile Entertainment, Hunted has been called “A Dungeon Crawl for the Gears Age” by Kotaku.com and has been described by Eurogamer as “violent, deceptively thoughtful and witty.”
