Happy Together remake makes Hunted trailer fun

May 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m really impressed by the music in this trailer for Bethesda Softwork’s launched-in-the-US Hunted game. Hunted is a bit of Diablo meets Dungeon Siege combat crawl but plays special attention to the nuances of having two leading characters rather than one. They’re happy together; hence the clever use of music in this age-rated trailer.

I want Location Based Gaming to be Project Cafe’s genius

May 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Nintendo will announce more details about the Wii 2, aka Project Cafe at E3 or thereabout this year. We know that Nintendo are lukewarm on 3D TVs. Shigeru Miyamoto is on record (in German) in saying that Wii 2 will not be pushing the 3D angle hard. We’re left with rumours. There are rumours that […]

Raptr does a Digg; except good

May 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You can find this blogger on the gamer social network and technology site Raptr. I don’t visit the web interface very much. Instead I’d use it to keep track of what I’ve been playing and what my friends have been playing so I could make informed choices about which game to buy next. The well […]

Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale launches today – new trailer

May 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale is available from today. At least; it’s available today if you’ve got access to Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. If you’re a PC or PlayStation user then you’ll need to wait for the summer release schedule. Xboxers need to turf up 1,200 Microsoft Points for the purchase. Atari describe […]

Shadows of the Damned: Enlarge Your Johnson

May 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

EA and Grasshopper Manufacture’s gory horror “Shadows of the Damned” has taken a turn for the outright silly with their “Enlarge Your Johnson” video. Not really sure what to say about this – except, fear not (quite so much), as “Johnson” refers to your weapon. Okay, the hero might hold his gun in, um, interesting […]

Amazing FPS crafted in… LittleBigPlanet 2?!

May 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

People have made some pretty impressive levels in LittleBigPlanet and some even more impressive ones in LittleBigPlanet 2. This level, from “Steve_Big_Guns” is simply incredible though. It’s almost hard to believe anyone’s sat down with the LBP2 engine to produce something like this. Before you watch, keep in mind that this is supposed to be […]

Dead Island’s Island of Beauty trailers show censored scene

May 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

For some reason the American board of censors objected to the original box cover and it was censored. The original showed a figure hanging from a palm tree. The replacement showed a zombie. That’s why the latest Dead Island trailer – called Island of Beauty – might be considered a cheeky one. It’s a good […]

Dragon Quest 6: Realms of Revelation

May 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dragon Quest 6 is an RPG for the DS. If you’re familiar with the series then you might be pleased to know that the class system fron Dragon Quest 3 returns (with some modifications) and yet Heartbeart have stuck with the post Dragon Quest 4 graphic improvements. Dragon Quest 6 is a save the world […]

New Zelda song is old Zelda song… just played backwards satanic style

May 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There was a time when the conservative right objected to rock music. A common claim was that if a certain track was played backwards it would contain satanic messages. Once or twice this was true. What happens if we apply this test to The Legend of Zelda’s Skyward Sword Theme? I’ll tell you what; you’ll […]

Dungeon Siege III: Anjali the Fire Archon

May 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Most fantasy games have a hottie – in Dungeon Siege III it’s Anjali. By “hottie” I don’t just mean female-shaped character; I mean fire spirit capable of burning holes through her enemy. As the trailer says; “We should be grateful that she fights on our side”. If you’re up for other Dungeon Siege III character […]
