Black Knight Sword looks good

August 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Black Knight Sword looks like an interesting computer game; not just because it describes itself as a dark fantasy. It also describes itself as “interactive kamishibai“. If you’re not familiar with kamishibai it’s paper drama theatre and in Black Knight Sword players control the figures. Historically, it was often monks who told the story. Gameplay […]

Awesomenauts

August 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blog doesn’t often look at Xbox Live Arcade games but Awesomenauts had a title interesting enough to catch the attention. Awesomenauts is a MOBA. I’m told that’s a Multiuser Online Battle Arena and as far I can I tell you log in simply to blast chunks off one another. Awesomenauts has Russian monkeys with […]

First three PWNED clips from GamesCon 2011

August 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This series of sponsored videos is a fantastic way to catch up, documentary style, with GamesCon 2011. They’re sponsored by EA so expect something of an EA centric approach – but we do get gamer geek goodies such as a discussion about Mass Effect 3.

Darksiders 2 looking impressive

August 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

THQ’s Darksiders 2 is looking pretty impresive. Despite some clever TV sponsorship in front of geeky TV with interesting looking ads – I never picked up Darksiders. I think it’ll be even harder to avoid the temptation of Darksiders 2. Go Death! Who would have thought we’d follow Death through the realms of angels, demons […]

Of Orcs and Men trailer

August 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Of Orcs and Men is a roleplaying game from Cyanide Studios and Spiders (I’m sure quite a lot of people would be happy to put cyanide in with spiders; in this case, though, two different companies). The CRPG is due out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. In the game the character is an elite […]

Mass Effect 3: Squad Leader trailer

August 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s been a few videos out to promote the highly anticipated Mass Effect 3. By “highly anticipated” I mean; we probably know geeks who’ll take the day off work when this RPG is out. This video is the “squad leader” trailer. It actually shows a combat scene that’s so good it’s hard to tell whether […]

RAGE story video

August 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have a watch of this video. It’ll introduce you to Bethesda Softwork’s Rage. It’s a shooter but we’re hoping for Bethesda’s typical storytelling style. The video is over two minutes long. It’s a mini-story. It’s actually an ad. I think Bethesda ae being bold and confident in pushing out such an advert. I supect this […]

Kinect Star Wars – Cool? Cheese? Crepe?

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I suspect this video will divide people. It shows the new Star Wars game for the Xbox 360. It’s a game that you can play with your hands, without a controller and so it means you can do the lightsaber swings yourself or control an X-Wing. I suspect the Star Wars franchise will be a […]

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine trailer

July 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Got a video update for THQ’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine game. This is a 3rd persion shooter from Relic using Games Workshop’s popular franchise. We’ve got Orks, Chaos as the Space Marines. They all seem to have soft, Southern English accents – which seems odd to me! Disclaimer; this blogger is Scottish, geography dictates that […]
