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
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.

New Zelda song is old Zelda song… just played backwards satanic style
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
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 […]
D&D Daggerdale storyline trailer disappoints
I’m not going to gush like a fanboy over the storyline trailer for D&D Daggerdale. I should have been an easy target but I’m disapppointed. It’s not that this video touches on cheese and looks cheap – it’s the lack of effort. Here’s the plot – someone accidently lets Mr Evil build a huge tower […]
First shots from Mass Effect 3
Those lucky blighters at GameInformer have been treated to the first ever screen shots from Mass Effect 3. It’s almost as if their site is hugely popular compared to humble Geek Native and firmly on BioWare’s radar. At least you, dear reader, can take heed from the fact that you’re among the elite; reading a […]
Portal 2 beats class
You know you’re working with a smart lecturer when they can spot the trends of behaviour in class. You know you’re working with a very smart lecturer when not only do they notice odd trends but quickly work out why. There’s just bonus points if that ‘why’ is a part of geek native culture. Portal […]
Project Cafe: Wii 2 to out power PS3 and have camera controller
The rumours that Nintendo will launch a new console next year are burning hot. Kotaku have all but confirmed it. We’re expecting the news at E3 – that’s June 7 – although Nintendo often old a press conference the day before. In fact, there’s less debate about whether the Wii 2 is on the way […]
Portal 2: Boots video
Turns out that Cave Johnson is willing to admit that there is a reproducible human error problem with the portal device. It’s all due to the way humans tend to land badly, especially from great heights, and the resulting damage that can occur to the portal generator. Needless to say, in order to protect the […]
Risen 2: Dark Waters
Risen 2 is a single-player fantasy RPG. It’s the sequel to Risen produced by Piranha Bytes over in Germany. Dark Waters is set several years after Risen, the titans have been causing chaos and pushing mankind to the brink of existence. We have monsters rising from the depth of the ocean (see what they did […]
