UGAME.net a social network for gamers has just opened its doors! It is a community site for gamers, where you can show off your social skills, share your photos and tag other gamers, create random groups around gaming (PLAY MORE PROMODE?), set up your team, troll on blogs, or simply stalk your favourite gamer (girl?), it’s excellent for event reunions and galleries (such as the ETAP HOTEL brigade from ESWC 08!).

The site, which was designed with the help of the Fnatic team, and some randoms has just opened its doors to the world after a 5 month closed beta. Thousands of gamers have signed up and so far the community seems to like what’s on offer.. There are profiles, teams, guilds, galleries and blogs popping up all over the site, which are linked in to the individual user. The games system is also pretty sophisticated with over 1000 titles (more in the pipeline), with the ultimate goal to become the equivalent of IMDB for the gaming world. Have a look at the World of Warcraft (http://ugame.net/games/worldofwarcraft/) page for an idea of where its heading. Also if you wanted to find some other gamers who play QUAKE 3 on the site, that's easy to do. In the future there are plans to incorporate videos, files, galleries and countless other features to this system as well.

Here's what a couple of community figures that use the site had to say:

James “2GD" Harding (http://ugame.net/users/TooGoood/)

Antti Nieminen (http://ugame.net/users/apekki/)

It seems that two days after the official release the first DOOM 3 video is already out. The movie is basically a first look at some basic trick jumps, air rox, and general action. It was compiled by VarpoS and GoiracH, here is what they had to say;

"This is the first "Real" trick/frag movie for Doom III. It includes; Single tricks, Team Tricks, Frags (airrockets included :D) We wanted to show you how we played on LAN the first 2 days of the release, and here it is hope ya'll have fun watching it. We are not Pro editors but it's sure worth downloading..."

So take a look at one of the first multiplayer movies of DOOM 3, in the below mirrors.

It seems an unofficial teaser for this year's ESWC has been released by *aAa* zouzou. The movie is pretty cool, showing pictures, demos and general riff raff from last year's ESWC.

Weighing in at only 14 Megs, its a pretty light download for anyone really, so there should definitely be no complaints in that department... ok?

Credits go to zouzou for putting in the effort.

Update: Unfortunately this file is no longer available on ESR.

Just a quick one to state that, Dreamcatcher have just released a new teaser movie for PainKiller, with some intro cgi, showing of various aspects of the game, including some multiplayer scenes.

The movie can be downloaded from here, and here.

This is a must download for all fans of painkiller and even people that dislike the look of Painkiller so far, its an immense movie, explaining the story more in depth.

Brian Gladman from painkiller, the Product Manager behind the game was kind enough to give me an inline image for the use on this site!
