THA | Hamst3r.com

I’ve created a gallery here on Hamst3r.com where I will post all the CryEngine 2 images I make. Currently there are around 65 images spanning several sets. There are both high resolution images (2560×1600 or 1920×1200) and medium resolution images (1280×800). There are also panoramic images for dual monitor setups.

Check out the gallery

The latest set is dubbed, “Sakura” as it features trees with some very pink, almost glowing leaves. Yeah, I know they’re not actually cherry blossoms, but they look nice anyways. :)

You can get to the gallery by clicking on the Crysis Gallery tab at the top of this page. Though, if that tab is ever to be removed to make space for newer things, the permanent link for the gallery is:

Enjoy the scenery!

Some days I’m just not in the mood to break open a big name title and get immersed in it’s world. Sometimes I just want a bite-sized morsel of a game so I can quit after one level and not have it matter if I remember what I just did the next time I play.

Thoughts on Penumbra: Black Plague & Penumbra: Overture

I just finished playing Penumbra: Black Plague, the final chapter in the Penumbra series made by Frictional Games.

One word summary: Awesome.

At least…90% awesome…

Overall, Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague are very good games. Black Plague is a decidedly better game with it’s more puzzle oriented focus…

If you love scary games, Penumbra is an excellent choice. Penumbra will draw you in and toy with you in ways other horror games simply can’t…

Thoughts On Silent Hill 3

I just completed Silent Hill 3. It took me about 5 1/2 hours according to a chart at the end of the game. I was hoping for a bit more game than that but perhaps spending 5 to 6 hours in the town of Silent Hill is all that’s really necessary. Lingering around in that kind of environment could have an adverse effect on one’s health…

Overall Silent Hill 3 is a great game with a lot of goodness for survival horror junkies. I highly recommend purchasing it if you’re in to these kinds of excursions in to hell. If hell is what you want, Silent Hill 3 can take you there.
