Drool over the AnvilNext game engine

August 3, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The AnvilNext Engine is the new gameplay powerhouse that makes Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed III possible. I can safely use the word “drool” without knowing whether you’re a gamer, coder, GM or anything like that because the graphics here are just stunning.

Square Enix and Ouya partner for Final Fantasy

July 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The news around the plucky Android based console start-up Ouya keeps on coming. First we had news of an OnLive partnership. Now there’s the discovery that Final Fantasy will be a launch title for the device. Final Fantasy III, that is. This will be the first time gamers outside of Japan have had the chance […]

The popular and controversial Android based gaming console Ouya has big news today. It will partner with OnLive. That’s the cloud based streaming service. The partnership means the Rubiks cube sized device can be sat under your TV and can bring you a giant library worth of on-demand games. OnLine has deals in place with more […]

Which UK pre-order bonus for Dishonored do you want?

July 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bethesda’s Dishonored looks like it’s going to be a cracker of a game. We can hope for the playability of Skyrim but with an edgy, steampunky, alternative world, Jack the Ripper, noir sort of thing. It looks like players will have to make significant choices about how they’re going to play the game – before […]

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trailer

July 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Square Enix’s reboot of Final Fantasy XIV has been blessed with a name and a website. The 2.0 version of the game is “Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn” and the website lives here. This trailer is called “Fate of Eorzea” and will no doubt do very, very well in YouTube. The game was first […]

Darksiders 2 – Mankind is no more

July 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mankind is no more. A causality of the endless conflict between angels and demons. However, in the realm between the angels and demons mankind still has one last hope – the most feared horseman of them all; Death.

The Wimoweh (In The Jungle) Borderlands 2 trailer

July 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’d describe Borderlands as having an interesting blend of cheeky violence with brutal survivalism humour. The Wimoweh trailer reassures me that 2K Games and Gearbox have everything in hand. You might well remember “Wimoweh” as the “In the Jungle” song… but would probably not expect to hear it in Borderlands!

Time is running out to be a founder for Ouya

July 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ouya promises to be the next generation of gaming console – possibly the last generation of gaming console. The background is simple; consoles are expensive and the industry is a closed shop. At the same time people are now able to game much more cheaply than on consoles due to the growth in smartphones, tablets […]

Steel Battalion launches low-tech mecha Kinect game

July 6, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an interesting idea for a game. Capcom have made Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor look very real and there are a few twists too. This is a world without the semiconductor thanks to a microbe that started eating them all. The knock-on effect is that technology stagnates in some areas but continues in others […]
