Last time I explained some of the ground work that The Old Republic does before letting you out into the big wide galaxy. It lays down the basic “rule set” for you chosen class and introduces the story beats you [...]
In episode 5 we interview the folks behind the new Fifa Street and Mass Effect 3 at the EA showcase in London. Evan reveals his history nerd side when we review Assassins Creed Revelations and Evan takes a trip to [...]
In my time reviewing games I have never really been tasked with reviewing one that will be a completely different title a year, possibly even mere months after my review is posted. That is what I have been tasked with [...]
2011 was a quality year for games and it made making a final decision on many of the categories in game of the year pretty difficult. Top quality games were bolting out of the gate almost immediately and things only [...]
In this episode we check out a modern remake of the classic game – Syndicate, currently being developed by Starbreeze Studios, the folks behind The Darkness and Escape from Butcher Bay. We discuss Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 with [...]
In my previous Christmas articles I’ve been presenting a purely “news” focussed retrospective on what has pretty genuinely been a bumper year for games. I tried to keep my own views separate from the actual stories but this article is [...]
Here’s the second part of our year in review and lets jump right into things in July. The summer drought was really in effect now and the really big news of the month was that things weren’t going so well [...]
So 2011 is drawing to a close and it’s at this point that I’m glad I’m summarising the gaming news and not hard news because a ton of stuff has (and continues to) happened. In gaming things were pretty quiet [...]
By: Alan Murphy The dust has long now settled on New Zealand’s hallowed Eden Park, the stadium in which the All Blacks lifted the Webb Ellis trophy for only the second time, just. And with the hype died down long [...]

Remember just before the first Fable game came out and how Peter Molyneux and Lionhead’s PR swore until they literally couldn’t get away with it anymore that the game would have an open world to rival that of Morrowind? Remember [...]

Aliens: Colonial Marines has been delayed once again. The game, which was due out this Spring and has been delayed several times already, has been pushed back to this Autumn. Gearbox say that the delay is down to the game being “a process of creativity and invention and those don’t necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line. While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don’t want to sacrifice the creative process just [...]
While most of you will be coming to Mass Effect 3 to see how Shepard’s story comes to an end on your lonesome you can’t ignore that the game now has a full multiplayer component, no matter how much you want to. Personally I think the mode plays well and if you don’t want to play it you really don’t have to but that is probably way too rational a way to look at things for the internet. In any [...]
Acclaimed Polish RPG The Witcher 2 is making it’s way to the Xbox 360 this April. Geralt will be taking his gritty tale of a world plagued by monsters and demons on april the 20th to be precise. The game had been due to come out last year but was delayed when the PC version was reevaluated and received a massive patch to make the game a bit more palatable to people not used to the crushing difficulty of traditional [...]
Insomniac have announced that they are finished with the Resistance series. The companies CEO, Ted Price, bluntly told VG 24/7 that “We won’t be making any more Resistances“. The move is disappointing considering how brilliant last year’s Resistance 3 was, but given that the developer has moved from making games exclusively for Sony to being part of the EA partners program it’s not exactly surprising. Resistance: Burning Sky is already making it’s way to the PS Vita so we haven’t [...]
The Playstation Vita has recorded another week of poor sales in Japan. It was the first week of new releases for the year in Japan and the Vita’s only title, Wipeout 2048 failed to crack the mediacreat top twenty; hardly surprising considering the game is mainly aimed at the Western market. The system itself only managed to move 15,219 units leaving it behind the PS3, 3DS and PSP once again. The figures are the lowest since the system launched at [...]
The tortured screams of your former crewmates cry out for you to kill them as they sweep around the room you are hiding in. The only gun you know how to use is out of ammunition and broken, you don’t know how to repair it and your last encounter left you dangerously low on health and your inability to use medkits effectively means you are out of those too. You are terrified but know you have to do something, anything. [...]
Blizzard have announced that they are not going to be hosting Blizzcon this year and will instead be hosting a tournament for Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft Arena. The tournament is going to be called the 2012 Battle.net Championship and will be hosted somewhere in Asia at the end of the year. The logical assumption is that the event will take placed in South Korea. Blizzcon, which began in 2005, has been the traditional place for fans of the [...]
Super Massive game’s upcoming Dr. Who platformer, Dr. Who: The Eternity Clock, will be a timed exclusive for the Playstation 3 and PS Vita when it launches this Spring. A spokesperson for BBC worldwide confirmed the move and added that “the PC version will be available globally shortly after release on the PS3 and PS Vita.” The game will see players run and jump through various situations on a 2D plane as either the Doctor himself or his sidekick River [...]
Any of you who have played a RARE game probably know precisely who Grant Kirkhope is. He composed the bouncy and happy tunes of the Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata games as well as some of the iconic tracks from Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. He left Rare back a few years ago and landed at Big Huge Games – where he was tasked with designed the music for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Having played a bit of the game at [...]
Death is pretty much the one constant that joins absolutely every human being who has ever and will ever exist. That’s pretty much what this new trailer for Darksiders 2 is trying to get across. It does so by doing some tasteful (ish) editing to period paintings spanning human history along with the standard gravelly voiced narrator letting you know what in general Death is all about. In game that is more than likely going to be beating the absolute [...]
