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, […]

Hacking the early access Mass Effect 3 Facebook decoder

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. […]

A War of Words: Quarrel Review

February 9, 2012 by Brian Leave a Comment

If you have ever enjoyed either Risk or Scrabble, and you own an Xbox 360, this is for you. Denki’s Quarrel has finally completed its epic journey and is at last available on Xbox Live Arcade. At it’s most basic Quarrel is a fusion of Risk and Scrabble. Two to four player compete to win […]

Do the NeverDead teaser videos live up to expectations?

January 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather liked the pitch and artwork from NeverDead. We had a hero who could not die. A world living under threat of a demonic plague. We had action and angst in equal measure. I’m not sure about the teaser videos they’ve released though. The game looks too chaotic for my tastes. First up is […]

NeverDead teasers

January 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The hero is Bryce Boltzman who was cursed with enternal life after daring to challenge the Demon King once before. The game is expected to play heavily on the “can’t die” aspect for Byrce – look to him using his own limbs as clubbing weapons, or throwing his gun holding hand into a pile of monsters and then pulling the tigger and he may even throw his head up onto a roof…

Mass Effect 3 creates new DLC market with collectable figures

January 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

BioWare are planning to release another set of Mass Effect figures. This time we’ll get Miranda, Mordin, Garrus and Legion. Here’s the interesting bit – each figure comes with a card that activates some downloadable content for Mass Effect 3. Sadly this will be region locked to the United States. These figures are available on […]

Sega find a new business stream – urinal game consoles

January 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Did you imagine Sega would return to the hardware business and start building consoles again? Okay. Perhaps you did… for the sake of argument let’s say you did. Did you imagine Sega would start to build $2,000 urinals though? And build games into them? Actually, I’m not sure we want to know!
