InfantryX is a project that me and Oxyden have been working on for quite some time. InfantryX is an online browser game that has its main focus on a group of terrorists who plan on devising a plan for World War 3. More background information is provided below:<br />

<li>Hundreds of equipment</li>
<li>Create your own squad</li>
<li>Storyline Operations and side mission</li>
<li>Much Much More!<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
The game will be run on a completely custom game engine developed by our company and game play will hopefully engage users in everyday activities. We are developing a simulation of what it would be like to be in a special operations team. Twists and turns, plots and deception, pre-register to InfantryX and receive tons of pre-release updates, footages, screenshots and more!<br />
<br />
Please comment and give suggestions if possible!-]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Few days ago word got out that a device has been creating allowing PS3s to run backups of game via the USB port.<br />
<br />
PSJailbreak, as the software seems to be known, is a combination of software and USB dongle allowing users to copy and run any game code even with systems using the current firmware. Currently retails for £95ish, but clones are already being planned so it'll be cheap soon..and free if someone cracks it to work with normal USB ports.<br />
<br />
Surprised nothing like this was found sooner, i'll wait to see what the homebrew community is like first..and if Sony patch it/block online etc since wouldn't like to not be able to play future games.]]></description>

<br />
For me it's got to be in metal gear solid 4 with the whole return to shadow moses island part, especially when you first get there and they hit you with the music and the flashbacks of good old metal gear solid 1. Not to mention the dead security camera <img src="http://www.gaminghostel.com/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Sad" title="Sad" />  ( You'll get me if you've played them all lol &gt;.&lt; ) ...

			<description><![CDATA[NI schoolboy takes on the internet gaming industry<br />
Game launched in July already a hit with 10,000 users<br />
 <br />
A local entrepreneurial schoolboy has successfully launched his first game in the highly competitive internet gaming market, with 10,000 users in its first month.<br />
 <br />
‘Buccaneers and Lobsters’ was developed over the last eight months by 11 year old Peter FitzGerald from Crumlin, Co. Antrim. The game, which is set on the high seas during the Napoleonic Wars, asks players to use their skill and judgement to build and develop a fleet of warships in order to dominate the seas, in competition with other online players and teams.<br />
 <br />
The game is fun but it also has educational value, developing players’ knowledge of Napoleonic history and naval activity.  ‘ I saw a gap’ says Peter, ‘when I couldn’t find an interactive, multi-player game that featured pirates after watching Pirates of The Caribbean &amp; series such as Hornblower on the TV.  This is a real area of interest for both boys &amp; girls!’ <br />
 <br />
Peter is primarily focused on gaining users from his target market of 8-12 year old boys, and knows his market well given that he’s just about to start secondary school himself.  However, he has been pleasantly surprised to find the game has a wider appeal.<br />
 <br />
Peter explained; “We’ve asked older players what they think of the game and the feedback is good. We also have a growing following on Facebook from women, which is something I didn’t expect.”<br />
 <br />
Peter thoroughly researched his market and a key focus on the marketing strategy was to make the game educational, and Peter’s team have used related material linked to Wikipedia, You Tube and Facebook.<br />
 <br />
He said; “We spent a lot of time on working on the details of  ‘Buccaneers and Lobsters’, to make sure it’s as accurate as possible and to encourage teachers and parents to see the value of the game.”<br />
 <br />
While other companies focus on impressive 3D graphics, Peter believes a focus on the fundamentals of the game is paramount to its success.<br />
 <br />
“The game must be playable, if a player can’t get into my game in five minutes then we’ve done something wrong,” he stated.<br />
 <br />
Peter is aiming high, and notes the success of US gaming company Zynga as a source of inspiration. Founded three years ago, the company is already valued at US &#36;1 billion. While Zynga have an active payment option, you can play ‘Buccaneers and Lobsters’ for free, as Peter is determined to get the game right before developing his business model further.<br />
 <br />
Peter cites the highly successful Zynga game ‘Farmville’, where players pay to develop a virtual working farm, as a worthy model. “Access to the game is simple and it is constantly being improved,” he said.<br />
 <br />
Peter continued; “To get this right, we can’t say that Buccanneers and Lobsters will ever be finished. I need to keep updating it and adding to it if my players are going to keep coming back. Over the coming months I hope to add Ghost Ships, Special Items and Weapons, the ability to capture ports, and aim to host a series of historical naval battles that will enable players to pit their best and strongest ships against the best online opponents.”<br />
 <br />
The game has only just launched but it has already received rave reviews from Facebook users, and recent TV and social media campaigns promise to bring many thousands of new players to the game.<br />
 <br />
This young man is well placed to embrace new technology to promote his game and looks set to change the face of the Northern Ireland games industry, so watch this space.<br />
