|  Phoenix Rising reaches their 12th Year Birthday!! | Wed  23.06.2010 By: HoriZon |

Well this month see's the clan reaching its
12th birthday even though we have been inactive for the last year or so. Don't think we will ever play again now as its getting on and most have moved too newer things (we got old finally) and can't keep up with the youth of today ;)
The site is still in beta for this this theme but its almost complete. Have no plans of taking it offline as I like to mess and keep it around for history's sake and its a place we can always use.
As always there are lots and lots of people to thank for all their time and effort over the years from current members to much missed ex-members as well as people we have met along the way, but we wont list them as they know who they are, we thank you all! If you knew us leave a message too say "hi",

Halo: Reach co-op difficulty scales
| Fri 25.06.2010 By: HoriZon |
|
Bungie has said that Halo: Reach will feature scalable difficulty in co-op.
According to the studio's Brian Jarrard,
speaking to Kotaku, enemies will toughen up when faced with two, three or four players rather than a lone Spartan.
In previous games, groups of players would need to increase the difficulty level manually to make the game more challenging, but in Reach the effect will be the same - also meaning that higher difficulty levels will be even more difficult.
Along with a sizable campaign starring a group of Spartans on the doomed human colony of Reach, the game features rethought multiplayer and an updated version of
Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode.
Halo: Reach is due out on 14th September. It's Bungie's last Halo game.

Apple has announced that over three million iPads have been sold around the world. The tablet went on sale 80 days ago in the US. That's the same amount of time it took Phileas Fogg to balloon around the world.
The iPad launched in the UK on 28th May. "People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives," said Apple's Steve Jobs. "We're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month."

Valve says E3 reveal "isn't Ep 3"

Valve boss Gabe Newell has mailed fan site
HalfLife2.net to say that the developer's E3 reveal is not Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
Valve lit up the internet with speculation last week when it cheekily said it was replacing its Portal 2 event with a "surprise". When emailed about the surprise by the site, Newell simply replied, "It isn't ep 3".
Newell also dismissed an image bearing the Half-Life logo, hero Gordon Freeman's name and "14th June" - the date of Valve's event. "Fake," he said. Portal 2 is definitely being shown at E3, so whatever Valve's plans are, we won't be coming home empty-handed. Look at for more info - yes - next week.
[15 June 2010] It turns out it was Portal 2 as Gabe got a big pile of cash to get in on the PS3!

YouTube Channel, offering a computer-generated glimpse into the shooter prequel.

Portal is FREE!!
| Wed 12.05.2010 By: HoriZon |

Celebrating the release of Steam for Mac, Valve has released the award-winning Portal for free. Until May 24th.
Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.
"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."
Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.
"Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."
You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging
You can get it from
here.
