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 […]

Captain America: Super Solider is a third person action game from Sega. You get to play Captain America in an adventure written by Christos Gage – who heads up Marvel’s Avengers: The Initiative.

Saints Row – Professor Genki ad is utterly bonkers

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what to say about this ad for Sants Row – The Third. It is an ad. They’re paying to have people watch this. I can tell you this is Professor Genki’s Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack but I can’t helped you with what “Hyper Ordinary” actually means. As for the ad, well, there’s […]

The Lord of the Rings movie with War in the North trailer

July 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is why many people will give the LoTR RPG a go. This trailer for the game is a mashup with the Lord of the Rings movies along with War in the North gameplay. Two thumbs up to the skillful blending of the two. I think the official word to describe this trailer is “touchpoints” […]

July 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Legacy is a DLC for Dragon Age 2. It deals with the thorny issue of magic seals on a prison beginning to fade – and all the trouble that sort of situation is bound to create. What’s your view of Dragon Age 2? Is it BioWare at its best? Everything you hoped for in a […]

Dragons Dogma trailer

July 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In the spirit of “It’s not an RPG – its a non-linear fantasy adventure” comes Dragons Dogma from Capcom. To be fair to Capcom, this is a fighting game, it’s a romp across an open world and pulls on the MT Framework engine. That’s the beast behind the lighting effects and graphics of Resident Evil […]
