Zombie Lydia shadows me around Skyrim

January 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Glitch hunting can be fun. Here’s one I recorded in Skyrim. Having lost one follower, Stenvar, to vampires I was alarmed when his replacement and my first Housecarl, Lydia, flew past me and off the side of the hill after failing to get out of the way of a giant and his club. Good news! […]

Game of Thrones: Winter trailer

December 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve had teasers for Atlus’s forthcoming Game of Thrones computer RPG already – such as The Wall. This latest video from the studio is longer and is rather more of a trailer than a teaser. It’s simply called “Winter”. The trailer introduces the game, planting the action firmly in the drama we already know and […]

Game of Thrones: The Wall

December 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This trailer is from the Game of Thrones computer game from Atlus. You’ll recognise the voice actors and computer models if you’ve seen the TV series (or are just good at spotting actors). Okay, it’s short but it sets the scene….. The game is due out for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sometime […]

I Am Alive: Follow the rules and you might survive too

December 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What will Ubisoft do after Assassin’s Creed. A glance at I Am Alive suggests the answer might rest in the post-apocalyptic future. After all – we can see building climbing will be important in the game. Mind you; Ubisoft’s YouTube page describes the game as “downloadable” and the cover says Arcade. It’s hard to imagine […]

Is there a touch of Dune in Mass Effect 3: Against All Odds?

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The latest Mass Effect 3 trailer reminds me, in part, of Dune. The situation seems clear. Shepard and team have to get across a battlefield in order to reach a tower. There’s just a whole host of Reaper action between him and his goal. That includes a giant walking machine of laser beam doom. “Against […]

Pictures mark the Japanese release of Final Fantasy XIII-2

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The very fact we have a Final Fantasy XIII-2 is surprising – some might say; confusing. However, Final Fantasy XIV was a bit of a problem for Square Enix in Japan. It’s important they get the franchise back on track. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is due out at the end of January 2012 in Europe. The […]
