When I’m not being my geeky self here on Geek Native I get to my geeky self in a digital marketing company. Sometimes I get to hear about pretty cool digital marketing campaigns. This is such an example; Hasbro has teamed up with Xbox 360 to run an in-game treasure hunt across Splinter Cell: Conviction, […]

Undead Nightmare: Zombies in Red Dead Redemption
Zombies continue their march to rule the computer game world. Rockstar games and Rockstar San Diego have prepared a DLC extension for Red Dead Redemption called “Undead Nightmare”. Yup. It’s zombies. The Undead Nightmare trailer went live yesterday. What do you think? Are you a Red Dead Redemption player? Do you think zombies will be […]
Chocobos escape Horsebird fate as Final Fantasy XIV begins to smell Chinese
Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]
Mii slaying PlayStation Move ad
I don’t think it’s too hard to guess that PlayStation have the Wii in their targets for the PlayStation Move launch. It makes sense. They don’t want to compare the accessory to Kinect. They want it compared to the Wii. Even if the tactics make sense is it still not possible they’ll take the head-to-head […]
Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition
The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox. There’s always a risk with such “leaks” that its a fake but this one looks believable. My first impression is that this doesn’t look amazingly impressive. It’s just very familiar – […]
Unlike cake, Portal 2 co-op is no lie
You may have heard that in Portal 2 you may be able to get some help with the challenges GLaDOS sets you. Portal 2 is not just for science, you monster but also for co-op. It’s true. Check this out. What do you think? Poor wee bots. I hope GLaDOS doesn’t terrorise them too much!
UNSC ManCave for Halo Reach
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Microsoft are really pushing Halo Reach. I suspect it’s important to them that it’s successful and that the community accepts it. One fan – aka Donkiekong76 – is so hyped about Halo: Reach that he’s turned his basement into an UNSC ManCave for Halo Reach. He’s certainly pro […]
PlayStation Move advert isn’t naff
I was lucky enough to have a go on the PlayStation Movie during the Edinburgh Interactive Festival. I wasn’t allowed to take any photos but I did get a feel for the Move device itself. It’s certainly more responsive than the Wii-mote. Not sure it’s as amazingly precise as some people claim but I didn’t […]
The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad
Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]
