There was only one Carmagnolle diving suit ever made and it sits, unused, in the Navy museum in Paris. In order to cope with undersea water pressure the helmet looks like a giant insect eye compound lens with 20, small, round, lenses, one of which screws open to allow the wearer some fresh air while being suited up.

This is what they based the Big Daddy in Bioshock from.

Hey everyone its Hassan A. again. I have decided to start a game of the week post for the site. This weeks game is Mass Effect (Xbox 360).

Mass Effect is a great game. I beat the game and I have to say that there are just so many amazing things about it. For all of you who don't know what its about, here is a little background. It is a Action RPG where you customize a character and you and your squad are traveling to defend humanity as well as other species. You will be able to gain new squad members as you progress through the game which will each have different abilities. There are great side missions to do. Many of them including some which involve the pasts of some squad members. There are lots of abilities to choose from such as increasing a weapon's power or charm. This game resembles a past game that BioWare has created one of the most praised rpg's Called K.O.T.O.R or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This game has a lot of exploration and action. The greatest points of the game are an incredible storyline, some of the best graphics on a console, great action, and some puzzles. Over all you could beat this game very quickly if you do no side missions, but if you own the game you should definitely complete most of them. This is an outstanding RPG that is recommended to all who love squad based RPG's and those who loved K.O.T.O.R.
Mass Effect gets a 9.5/10

"The last moments of Halo 3 were really pretty exciting. Fast driving, over-orchestrated theme music, unavoidable deaths—sure it was a bit Halo Kart, but it was an exciting conclusion all the same. But all those polygons pale in comparison to the still LEGO version. (Hit the jump and the picture goes all mega enlarged for you viewing pleasure.) I mean, it's LEGO. Sorry Bungie. It's like a geek trump card on par with light sabers and pictures of halfway attractive women showing cleavage on the internet." (Kotaku)

Last night the three of us here at zixpk.com we playing some Halo 3. We were playing Team Slayer on snowbound. When the game ended the score was 51 to 31 (We Won :-) . But if you play halo you know that a normal game of Team Slayer is to 50. I guess the game glitched up when we were killing who ever we saw even after the game ended and somehow the score was not 50 but 51. If you would like to be our friends these are our Gamer tags.

As you can see our very own Ken was MVP like always (what else is new?) and Hassan got a top medal as well.

Call of Duty 4 M.W.

Hey everybody its Hassan A. from zixpk.com I would just like to adivse anyone who is looking for a great shooter. Call of Duty 4 has some great features to it that I really enjoy. The campign is fairly short a good 5 to 6 hours. So i wouldn't advise anyone to get this game purely for single player. The reason why this game is so very popular right now is the genius MP aspect of the game. It goes by trdational USA army ranking. You gain xp through various ways, such as kills completing challenges such as a certain number of kills with a weapon to tacking down a helicopter. there are also unlockable weapons and perks which are nice powers or equipment I would say to do various things such as extra damage, listening in on enemy's, dropping a live grenade when you die and much more. After you hit the rank of 55 you are able to start from scratch as a level 1 but you will gain a prestige, you may do this up to 10 times. This game has a very balanced weapons and maps. Over all I would give this game a 9.5 out of 10 great job Activision, no wonder this game has gotten best seller award for 2007.

OK so its been some time now since Halo 3 has come out, so this is the perfect time to ask yourself this question, have you played Halo 3 as much as you did halo or Halo 2?

I for one haven't really played Halo 3 as much as I did with Halo 2. I think that the main reason was that on the original Xbox the only good game aside from Fable was Halo and Halo 2. I thought that Halo 2 was the best game ever because it was the first time that I had played a game like it. Before Halo 2 I had a PlayStation 2. I really didn't like it and when I heard people talking about how Halo 2 was about to come out I got interested in getting an Xbox. I'm glad that I did because I had some really good times in Halo 2. I guess that I played Halo 2 so much that Halo 3 doesn't quite excite me as much because it basically the same game.

Here is my gamertag if you dare challenge me.

I quite literally stumbled upon this while looking for a decent Halo 3 image to go with my next post (more about that in my next post).

This custom Halo 3 Elite has been airbrushed over the entirety of its casing and is being described as a 360 with 360 degrees of customization, quite catchy.

The artist used high grade automotive urethane and clear coat, which was also used on both controllers to give the matching design. To bad that the eBay bidding ended a long time ago because this case mod is just awesome.
