The PlayStation Plus: What is PlayStation Plus and other questions answered!

June 15, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

What is PlayStation Plus? PlayStation Plus is a premium subscription service. Users pay up and get access to extra bonuses such as full game trials, automatic downloads, […]

That was quick! Pre-order your Kinect today (before price or due date)

June 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The UK game store powerhouse GAME has already opened up pre-orders for the Kinect. You’ll need to put down £10. We don’t yet know; prices or when the device will be out. In fact, the web site uses the term “pre-order request” – they’re clearly expecting a rush of sales. Twitter seemed to be largely […]

HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2

June 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]

Do you think this is PS4 / PlayStation 4 leak?

June 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I just want to begin with a reminder – I work in marketing; I work with a number of clients and some of these might be in gaming. I’m not going to blog about anything that I have to keep a secret. I can blog about stuff that’s in public domain. If there’s no secret […]

Blur Game – car crashes and street art

May 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

London, Berlin and Madrid have all had some racing game sponsored street art splashed onto a dull wall. In London’s case the art attack happened in Hackney and was lead by Gavin Nolan, the guy behind The Rockwell Project. It’s supposed to be 3D art. Tough to do in graffiti style – but I’ll leave […]

Sonic Colours – spelt right and due out late 2010

May 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s an interesting looking game. Sonic Colours might well just be one of the games that suits the Nintendo Wii down to the ground. Okay; it’s a Sega game that you can only play on a Nintendo console. That’s a little interesting. What’s also rather nice to see is that the SEGAEurope YouTube video uses […]

Looking sharp – Naruto Shippuuden: Ulimated Ninja Storm 2

May 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay; so I’m following Naruto by the DVD release schedule here in the UK. Don’t mock me! It means the next disc is the start of Naruto Shippuuden. It’s late. I know the cheeky scamp gets a new costume. Or an old costume with black patches sewn on it. Whereas I worry about spoilers – […]

A fanboy’s look at LittleBigPlanet 2

May 10, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m no good at platform games (I always fall off the jumps) and I’ve no creative ability (can’t translate my mind’s eye into reality) but for some reason I really enjoy LittleBigPlanet. I think that’s a great pointer towards the success of the game. I’m not the only one who enjoys the game. There are […]

An introduction to Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

May 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This looks like an interesting game. First off; it’s from a company called Ninja Theory. They’re the peeps behind Heavenly Sword. It should come out in 2010 and will be available for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game is set in a post apocalyptic future. I’m a fan of post apocalyptic settings as […]

Extended Clip: Birth of a Spartan

May 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The rather dramatic “Birth of a Spartan” trailer for Halo: Reach is doing the rounds at the blogs. There are two reasons for this; firstly, this is a good trailer and secondly, the ad agencies involved and Microsoft are sponsoring some coverage. This is not a sponsored video placement. Instead, this video comes from the […]
