Rotoscoped The War of the Worlds game

September 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This War of the Worlds game will be appearing on both the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Paramount Digital have the license but the game is being developed by Other Ocean Interactive. It was Other Ocean who was responsible for the XBLA conversion of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. They go for a […]

Augmented Reality CCG – Drako

August 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I remember Eye of Judgement well. I never played it – but I saw friends beginning to dabble with it. It was a collectable card game that the PS Eye turned into something special. The camera would scan the cards being used in the game and provide some pretty cool animations. The game was closed […]

Docu-trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2

August 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’re worried about spoilers to Final Fantasy XIII then this isn’t the post for you. Read something else. I was really excited about FFXIII before it came out… but eventually gave up, trapped in the farm and fight cycle of the grasslands. This is a sequel. It had (some) of the same characters. We […]

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 […]
