Duke Nukem Forever trailer: would you still hit it?

January 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think we can sum up the Duke Nukem Forever with the familiar mantra of “guns, girls and explosions”. And aliens. Aliens and humuor. It’s an interesting mix. I’m in two minds about Duke Nukem; one half respects the nostalgia and the second half would needs more RPG juice to make picking this up worthwhile. […]

LittleBigPlanet 2 rocked by “Kill Obama” levels

January 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

My copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 is sitting on the table waiting to be played. It just has to wait until I finally finish off Fallout New Vegas. That’ll happen soon because I really want to play LittleBigPlanet again. What I don’t want is to stumble into stupid American political diatribe. The team over at Destructoid […]

Final Fantasy XIII-2 confirmed

January 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There will be a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. This isn’t the surprise it could have been because the clever internet noticed Square Enix’s domain name registration company buyng a Final Fantasy XIII-2 domain. The official Final Fantasy XIII-2 site is a microsite on Square-Enix right now though. Oh. And it’s in Japanese. At the […]

Kinect controlled robot – the first Kinect controlled model?

January 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is frightfully impressive. This is all the work of a hobbyist and V-Sido software, which, if you want, you can get here. As you watch this video think about the robot’s balance. It simply isn’t falling over despite leaning quite some distances in some of the Kinect-powered poses. It’s impressive stuff. This particular […]

Freak Mario to save Mario?

January 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. One more time […]

Bulletstorm ad mocks Halo ad

January 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Cast your mind back to 2007. It was an era before we had Microsoft Kinect but we still had the Xbox and we still had Halo. In fact, Halo 3 was due out and Microsoft had put together a dramatic and take-me-seriously advert for the game. It was called Believe. Here’s a reminder: Keep that […]

North Korea invades America: Homefront

January 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It took me a little while to work out which Sci-Fi series this rather awesome advert for THQ’s Homefront reminded me of. It’s Battlestar Galactica. It’s the echo pings in the soundtrack that does it. Check it out for yourself and let me know if you agree. In other news, the ad does a pretty […]

Super Mario Galaxy Medley

December 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It seems to me that a good way to get your vocal talents noticed is to pick a song or a tune that’ll appeal to the geek community. We excel at getting videos noticed, starting that viral effect and creating stars. Step forward Diwa de Leon who’s put together this impressive Super Mario Galaxy Medley. […]

There are three pages up at Atari for the game (here’s the Xbox one) and they’re all pretty similar in terms of spec. We’ll get solo and co-op page, questing and multiple game modes. The game […]
