Raving Rabbids Travel in Time for a million pounds

December 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Natives in the UK might have noticed one or two adverts for Raving Rabbids Travel In Time. As it happens Ubisoft are pumping £1m into the Rabbids campaign. Who said Ubisoft was all about Assassin’s Creed? As you might imagine most of the advertising is being spent on children’s TV channels – CiTV, Cartoon […]

Does Love Zombie have the cutest zombies?

December 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Thanks Japan! The DS has a zombie simulation game called Love Zombie. In the game you take control of an army of farmer zombies. Those evil humans stole the zombies “precious something” and now they want it back. It’s 8-bit meets a farming game meets zombie. What’s not to love about that? Here’s a trailer […]

Drake’s Deception: Uncharted 3 trailer

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What a busy few days for RPG announcements from the wonderful world of computer gaming. Making a ripple in today’s “most people video” charts we’ll find the trailer for Drake’s Deception – that’s Uncharted 3. (I kinda refuse to write it in all caps like Naughty Dog and Sony seem to insist). I think its […]

ITV and Channel 4 on Demand come to PlayStation 3

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Good news for UK PS3 owners. The Guardian is reporting that both the ITV and C4 on Demand services are expected to join the iPlayer on the PS3 this week. Of course, they’ll be wishing they had fairly fat broadband for this. This is an interesting turn of events as under Michael Grade ITV was […]

The full Batman: Arkham City trailer

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

If you had visited Geek Native quickly enough you would have spotted the initial Batman: Arkham City teaser trailer looked an awful lot like a crayon factory. Be rest assured this is not a clever marketing ploy by Rocksteady. No. It was the wrong video. In order to make up for that little video shuffle […]

Skyrim trailer: Elder Scrolls 5

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We have nearly a year to wait for Elder Scrolls 5. It’s due out on the 11/11/11. We’ve also got Mass Effect 3 due out in 2011. I’m sure we’ll have a new Assassin’s Creed as well. This is the rise of the RPG. The elder scrolls talk of the rise of the RPG and […]

Mass Effect 3 trailer

December 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“If Shepard doesn’t bring help soon, there won’t be an Earth left to save”. Red Dead Redemption might have beaten Mass Effect 2 to Game of the Year at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards but Mass Effect 2 did pick up Best Xbox 360 Game. Oddly, God of War 3 beat Red Dead Redemption […]

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia’s sexual innuendo

December 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might have heard that Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia has pretty funny dialogue. It’s a script that often features sexual innuendo. Ar Tonelico is an old RPG for the PlayStation 2. I think Melody of Elemia was out in 2007. Geek Native has an example of said innuendo. In this scene our her Lyner […]

Mario inspires Coldplay

December 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you noticed the Mario musical influence in Coldplay? No? It’s totally there. The start of Viva La Vida is in fact a version of the Star Power theme. I have proof. Convinced?

Night of the Sacrifice: Wii Balance Board horror game

December 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you use your Wii balance board very much any more? Might you use it more if it was part of a horror game? Are you, like me, curious as to how the balance board could be used in a horror game? Sadly, we’ll have to wait and find out. We do know that Famitsu […]
