The five strongest became known as the Dragon Lords. The Dragon Lords demanded power from Aion, they demanded enough power to rival him […]

February 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

After The Walking Dead aired on AMC last night, Electronic Arts ran a TV ad for Mass Effect 3. It was called “Take Earth Back” and seems to have been designed to appeal to gamers as well as non-gamers. If you’ve played the demo then you know you have three options at the start which […]

Borderlands 2 launches on September 21st across the world or a few days before that, on the 18th, if you’re in the States. If you pre-order the game then you’ll get access to the Borderlands 2 Premier Club. Borderlands was a surprise hit for me. I really enjoyed it. I’m not in the shoot and […]

Skyrim: To Lydia with Love

February 18, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you had the Lydia experience in Skyrim? I lost her against a powerful necromancer hanging around with a bunch of dangerous vampires. I can’t say she was entirely without blame when it came to her death… but it doesn’t seem right to speak ill of the dead.

Shaun the Sheep 3D coming to the Nintendo 3DS

February 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Don’t mock. I actually think this is a good idea. It’s a good way for the 3DS to showcase its 3D capabilities and its a good way to get some cash from the franchise for Aardman. I actually think the Vita has the most to benefit from with this sort of distrubution deal (sans 3D, […]

February 13, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you want early access to Mass Effect 3? You have a chance if you have a go at hacking into a decoder on Facebook. The competition is being run by Xbox UK. The assumption is that these codes are only good for Xbox 360 players – there’s a chance they’ll be geo-locked to the […]

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on the Xbox 360

February 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Many gamers have told this blogger that CD Projekt’s The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was the best cRPG of last year. The catch? It was only out for the PC. It’ll be a year after the PC release but in April of 2012 The Witcher 2 will make an appearance on the Xbox 360. […]

Female Shepard in her very own Mass Effect 3 trailer

February 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is it a big deal that the Shepard who stars in this Mass Effect 3 trailer is the female version? If you’re not familiar with Mass Effect 3 then you can play either a male or female version of the main character but not tinker with her race like you can in many fantasy RPGs. […]
