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 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.

R.A. Salvatore’s Kingdoms of Amular trailer
R.A. Salvatore is just one of the famous names associated with the secret once known as “Project Mercury”. We’re actually talking about Kingdoms: of Amalur: Reckoning and both Spawn‘s Todd McFarlane and Morrowind & Oblivion’s Ken Rolston are also involved. This is an open world RPG. In fact, it’s a world created be R.A. Salvatore, […]
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record – erotica and zombies?
Dead Rising was one of the original zombie hits. Since Geek Native is a slave to Left 4 Dead (L4D1, at least) we like to look at other possible zombie hits. There’s that. There’s also the fact the official fact sheet from Capcom for Dead Rising talks about awarding players with Prestige Points for photographs […]
Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]
Everything is True
Everything is True is a rather brave rather from EA and Funcom for The Secret World. It’s brave (not because it runs to the end without snagging) as it spends most of the three minutes showing us nothing. There’s some teaser clips from the game at the start but then we move on to the […]
Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer
I think the Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer is looking pretty good. There’s certainly an element of grit in this one – does this foreshadow the direction the new wave of Spider-man films will go? It’s not “who watches the watchmen?” but “who saves the hero” and in an time-related action game you don’t need […]
Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale: Fighter Trailer
Atari have released the latest trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale. This time around we focus on the Fighter. There’s about 50 seconds in the short trailer, just enough to give you a sample of the melee action and the GUI. Looks like they’re trying to keep it as streamlined as possible in order to […]
Dungeon Siege III: Lucas Montbarron introduction
Square Enix have published a video introduction to Lucas Montbarron. It’s an effective way to check out the game play in Dungeon Siege III. There’s just the suggestion that they’ve managed to get the best bits from Dungeon Siege I and from Dungeon Siege II and successfully mash them together. Let’s hope so! What do […]
