Good news! From today on you can reach our Praetorians section at www.praetoriansgame.com. We lost www.praetoriansfansite.com to some lame-ass commercial website because we never got a notification that our registration term was about to expire (won't happen again!)

We still have to update all banners and links to direct to the correct address, so there is a chance that you'll land in the wrong place sometimes. Expect that to be fixed by the end of this week.

We also have to thank Eidos for lending us this url. As you might remember the official Praetorians website used to be hosted here, but went offline ages ago. They're not planning to sell the url to us since they might still use it in the future (makes me wonder for what, since Pyro Studios is the only trademark holder of Praetorians). Anyway, that saves us 6 bucks a year. So thank you twice Eidos!

We would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year! We hope you have enjoyed New Years Eve and will make 2007 something special.

Speaking of special; this year TAFN is celebrating its 10th anniversary! We might have things coming up to celebrate this fact, but we're not promising anything as of yet.

Our new year's resolution is continuing to bring fans the latest news on Pyro Studios' games. We will also do major updating to our excisting game sections; expect a walkthrough for CSF and C3 soon (we know, a tad bit late), and we will also try to make the Downloads dB more user friendly. We will keep the same download system but will provide more detailed information about the files. We think especially our IG visitors will welcome this.

Well, we hope you will enjoy the rest of your holiday and hope you can look back with a good feeling on 2007 on December 31st!

Pyro Studios is currently working on a new game for the Wii, as reported by Luis Fernandez (project leader of the game) on a Spanish radio station. The only details we have as of yet is that it's an adventure game and that the game is targetted for a 2008 release.

Really, that's all we know.

Pyro Studios has signed a deal with AGEIA, in order to use AGEIA PhysX in its ambitious next generation game (remains unannounced as of yet), using top technology realistic physics.

AGEIA is dedicated to delivering dynamic interactive realism to the ever demanding complexity of next generation games. Its flagship solution, AGEIA PhysX, is the world's first dedicated physics engine and physics processor to bridge the gap between static virtual worlds and responsive unscripted physical reality. AGEIA PhysX allows developers to use active physics-based environments for a truly realistic entertainment experience.

For more information on AGEIA, please visit their website. And be sure to check out the gameplay videos of games using AGEIA PhysX and technology demos to see its power!

Ave friends! Welcome to our Praetorians fansite section!

This game may be out for a while already, but that's not to say that this game is dead. In fact, it's one of the most popular games played on GameSpy, and then again; what's a Pyro Studios fansite without a Praetorians section..?  

If you think you're an uber fan of Praetorians and is "the-one-who-knows" when it comes to this game, well then, tell us something about Cimmeria... What? You don't know Cimmeria? Shame on you! Here at TAFN we always treat our visitors with something exclusive, and in this case it's a page dedicated to Cimmeria; Praetorians' original design concept. On this page you can find a large collection of rare screenshots, artworks and even a trailer! Go check it out!

Now, have fun looking around (apart from Cimmeria, we have more stuff you probably haven't seen before!) Stay tuned, as we'll be adding more content later on. For the Senate and the Roman people!

Well look at that it appears that we haven't wished our visitors and everyone else a Happy New Year so of all people I have to wish you [fill in whatever it is you wish here].

With that out of the way it's time to move on.

We are looking for staff to help us to start and maintain a new site for our network.

The game would be Prey a very promising title developed by Human Head in co-operation with 3DRealms (you know Duke Nukem and formerly know as Apogee which we have all played some game from when we were young(er).

Our placeholder site is already up @ http://www.preyfansite.com

Now onwards to the positions to fill in, shameless copy/paste from Rutam coming up:

Since this is a full fledged fansite, not just forums.. our focus will be on developing quality content. The network webmasters will assist the staff in filling up the content, but still the site will need a Webmaster to co-ordinate things. Here are some reqs. expected from the Webby  (the webmaster will appoint a co-webmaster if need be)

• A veteran of the 3DR community, someone who knows everyone well..
  
• Should be a good linguist - The network will extend it's gaming/press contacts to the webmaster, so this is a MUST!
  
• Should have decent amt. of knowledge about the game, it's history.. (this is a no-brainer actually..)
  
• Has to have basic HTML knowledge
  
• Has to be 18+ and <50
  
• Needs to have some experience with HTML editors and scripts
  
• Should be of a sound mind
  
• Should be a non-smoker (naah.. I am just kidding :P)
  

Apart from the Webmaster, the site will need quality news posting from News Posters. Some reqs. as follows :

• An active member of the community
  
• Should be a decent writer. ( One of the news posters will handle the game review as well {hopefully a preview too} )
  
• Smartassness and a good sense of humour (unlike mine) will be a plus!
  
• Should have decent amt. of knowledge about the game.
  
• Has to have basic HTML knowledge ( most news posting will be done through a script.. so this isn't mandatory )
  
• Should listen to Heavy-Metal ( wtf )
  

This core staff will later appoint forum moderators. After the launch, the network itself will have limited control over the site. It is upto the Webmaster, Co-webby and the news posters to take it wherever they want it to go. There won't be any creative restrictions, or censorship over the content thereafter.

Interested? Contact us at: webmaster@preyfansite.com , we're looking forward to your mail!
