Reddit rebellion over BF3?

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This geeky roleplayer is not in the Battlefield franchise and there was every chance that BF3 would have sailed past without me noticing – except, EA seems to have botched their “game blance” saving through like some rookie GM. The result? The powerful Reddit community is planning an open revolt. How did EA mess up […]

Alice: Madness Returns trailer

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you remember the original American McGee’s Alice? It came out in 2000. The game was set in a rather sinister Wonderland. You see; after Through the Looking-Glass Alice’s home burns down, killing her family and leaving her alone. Alice eventually looses her mind and winds up in Rutledge Asylum being treated by one Doctor […]

Xbox Live to be baked into Windows 8

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had the chance to talk to Mike Delman of Microsoft at E3. He dug out some interesting responses. It sounds as if the chances of an “Xbox Phone” are even higher than before although it may be a “certification” model that Sony are currently using with Android. Here’s the […]

Fable 4: The Journey Demo was a “Horrendous Mistake”

June 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was watching Twitter during the Fable: The Journey demonstration at E3. I saw one comment whisk by “There’s a man on stage pretending to be a horse”. I laughed at the time. Now, it seems, Fable boss isn’t laughing. He(the horse man in question) and his team now regret the demo. In the demo […]

E3: BioShock Infinate trailer

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just when you thought all the best trailers from E3 had dried up – Geek Native manages to dig up 2K and Irrational Games’ BioShock Infinate teaser. This is expected out in 2012 and will be for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If it comes out late enough in the year then it may […]

More pictures from Syfy’s new sci-fi TV show and MMO

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]

E3: Actual gameplay demo with Kinect and Mass Effect 3

June 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve had some official trailers for Mass Effect 3 that have come out of E3. I don’t think they did that good at job at illustrating what’s going to be cut scene and what’s actual gameplay. They certainly didn’t give an indication as to what the experience of playing the game was like… nor really […]

E3: Nintendo announces the Wii U

June 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Project Cafe, Nintendo’s next generation console, has a name – It’s the Wii U. My hopes are dashed. The controller will not be a portable console and it will not have location based gaming. However, the controller does have a 6.2 inch touch screen that uses a semi-AR system to map with the TV screen. […]

E3: Bastion RPG trailer

June 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bastion looks to be a quirky game – but interesting never the less. Another reason to support this RPG is that it’s been developed by the independent studio Supergiant Games along with heavy hitting partners Warner Bros. The game is described as an RPG in which you play “the Kid” as a survivor of a […]

E3: Mass Effect 3 gameplay demo

June 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s due out early next year and RPG fans can’t wait. Mass Effect 3 teased us with some gameplay videos at E3. At least; they’re pitched to this blogger as gameplay videos but it’s hard to tell them from set pieces. Either way; this Mass Effect 3 fan remains super keen. What do we know […]
