D&D Daggerdale storyline trailer disappoints

April 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not going to gush like a fanboy over the storyline trailer for D&D Daggerdale. I should have been an easy target but I’m disapppointed. It’s not that this video touches on cheese and looks cheap – it’s the lack of effort. Here’s the plot – someone accidently lets Mr Evil build a huge tower […]

First shots from Mass Effect 3

April 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Those lucky blighters at GameInformer have been treated to the first ever screen shots from Mass Effect 3.  It’s almost as if their site is hugely popular compared to humble Geek Native and firmly on BioWare’s radar. At least you, dear reader, can take heed from the fact that you’re among the elite; reading a […]

Portal 2 beats class

April 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You know you’re working with a smart lecturer when they can spot the trends of behaviour in class.  You know you’re working with a very smart lecturer when not only do they notice odd trends but quickly work out why. There’s just bonus points if that ‘why’ is a part of geek native culture. Portal […]

Project Cafe: Wii 2 to out power PS3 and have camera controller

April 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The rumours that Nintendo will launch a new console next year are burning hot. Kotaku have all but confirmed it. We’re expecting the news at E3 – that’s June 7 – although Nintendo often old a press conference the day before. In fact, there’s less debate about whether the Wii 2 is on the way […]

Portal 2: Boots video

April 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Turns out that Cave Johnson is willing to admit that there is a reproducible human error problem with the portal device. It’s all due to the way humans tend to land badly, especially from great heights, and the resulting damage that can occur to the portal generator. Needless to say, in order to protect the […]

R.A. Salvatore’s Kingdoms of Amular trailer

April 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’re actually talking about Kingdoms: of Amalur: Reckoning and both Spawn‘s Todd McFarlane and Morrowind & Oblivion’s Ken Rolston are also involved. This is an open world RPG.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record – erotica and zombies?

April 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dead Rising was one of the original zombie hits. Since Geek Native is a slave to Left 4 Dead (L4D1, at least) we like to look at other possible zombie hits. There’s that. There’s also the fact the official fact sheet from Capcom for Dead Rising talks about awarding players with Prestige Points for photographs […]

Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes

April 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]

Everything is True

April 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Everything is True is a rather brave rather from EA and Funcom for The Secret World. It’s brave (not because it runs to the end without snagging) as it spends most of the three minutes showing us nothing. There’s some teaser clips from the game at the start but then we move on to the […]
