This image will reach out and speak to all CRPG players. You know the dread plot twist; one your NPCs have to leave the group. Okay, we can cope with that, the group might be a little light on magic/healing/defense/offense but we’ll be able to adjust. What’s the real kicker? That blasted NPCs just gone […]

Darksiders 2: Wrath of War announcement trailer
Okay, I’ll admit that Darksiders might not be 100% RPG goodness but there are elements of the genre in there – besides, the mythology and setting of Darksiders appeals to many native geeks. In Darksiders we delt with the Apocalypse, started by War prematurely – or so we thought. There’s a twist there. In Darksiders […]
Not the sex toy Saints Row: The Third trailer
What’s the difference between an “action RPG” and a “non-linear shooter”? In both cases the emphasis is on running around and blasting things. I think the answer to the question is setting; War in the North is an action RPG because it’s set in Middle Earth and therefore the target market slants towards roleplayers. Saints […]
Arkham City: Catwoman trailer
If you want to spend some time watching Catwoman’s bum then this new Arkham City trailer is for you. Arkham is shaping up to be both visually stunning but also intelligently complex with the story and sides. You have options in this game and I get the feeling that not everything will be as it […]
Dungeon Siege 3 demo trailer
Another Dungeon Siege 3 trailer… very similar to the others, getting a bit fed up of that bird. Here’s the catch. This video managed to sell DS3 to me in a way that the others hadn’t. It’s supposed to be a bit of a demo video; showing how the new Dungeon Siege might look in […]
The E3 trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Square Enix, the people who bring us Final Fantasy, have another strong RPG franchise in the form of Deus Ex. The next the series, Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be hot in time for E3. As a result we’re getting access to rather tasty trailers. The game will be out for PC, PlayStation 3 and […]
War in the North – E3’s Lord of the Rings trailer
E3 is shaping up to be a cracker. We can execpt lots of good announcements and a host of teasers. Warner Bros and Snowblind have their “action RPG” for Lord of the Rings nearly ready and so we can predict we’ll get an extended trailer for War in the North. What do we have right […]
Happy Together remake makes Hunted trailer fun
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
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
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 […]
