The Download Munkey : Finder of Things …

I like monster trucks and these Motorstorm : Pacific Rift wallpapers illustrating these behemoths’ ability to crush their opposition suit me perfectly. Haven’t seen many PC games which feature monster trucks : the last one that I can recall was Microsoft’s Monster Truck Madness 2.

Anyway, I like these wallpapers mainly because they feature a truck which looks like a toy vehicle on my Christmas wishlist when I was a child - the Lunch Box, Tamiya’s classic yellow minivan on oversized wheels.

More offroad madness and (literal) environmental destruction in the Motorstorm : Pacific Rift debut trailer at Gametrailers to the sounds of Pendulum’s Tarantula. Haven’t heard drum & bass in game trailers for quite a while

Wallpapers and concepts from Neocore Games’ RTS Crusaders : Thy Kingdom Come set in the time of the Crusades. The exact Crusade isn’t mentioned on the website, but it’s probably the First Crusade which culminated in the capture (and infamous massacre) of Jerusalem in 1099. No news about a demo version either

Below are the concept art of three of the five playable heroes in-game. From top to bottom : Roger of Hastings, Godfrey of Toulouse and Roberto of Naples.

The background stories for the five characters can be found here.

While the unit models don’t seem to share the randomized look of Medieval : Total War 2, the detail of each model is rather impressive, especially the ornate armour of the knights and their chargers. The terrain doesn’t look half bad either like the rolling hills behind Godfrey of Toulouse below.
