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 […]

Halo Reach – Carnage Carnival – discussions on game balance

April 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bungie has released a video called Carnage Carnival which features some of the team discussing the beta release of the game. A number of things are clear. First off; this is your typical “we’re very proud of our product” presentation. Bungie has every reason to be very proud of Halo and Halo Reach looks to […]

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

April 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ubisoft have been fairly upfront that a key tactic for this year is to get Assassin’s Creed 3 ready, stocked and sold as quickly as possible. Thanks to some careful domain watching we can now guess with a strong degree of confidence that the game will be called Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. How come? Ubisoft have […]

What’s in the Halo Reach Legendary Pack?

April 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Game.co.uk are now accepting pre-orders for the Halo Reach Legendary Pack. This gives us a chance to see what’s inside it. It’s also worth noting that there are three versions of the game; standard, limited and legendary. The pre-order at Game.co.uk for the Legendary Pack costs nearly £100 and (due to weight) doesn’t ship outside […]

Xbox 360 is 5 times more likely to break than the PS3 (42 more likely than the Wii)

April 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

No Fuss Reviews has the results of over 500,000 responces to a gaming poll that suggests that the Xbox is far more likely to break than the Wii and the PlayStation 3. There is a catch, though. The survey is de-duplicated but it takes no account of marketshare. If more Xbox users responded to the […]

First gameplay footage of Pokemon Black and White

April 18, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The 5th instalment of the Pokemon series is on its way. As you might expect it’ll be published first in Japan, probably this Autumn, and for the Nintendo DS. The TV show Pokemon Sunday showed a sneak peek of some of the game footage. We can see a cityscape but also that the camera sort […]

April 15, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s a game that looks as if it’ll make your PC weep – but that it’ll be worth every tear. More info is available at inCrysis but for the gorgeous eye candy simply lap up the following videos. The song in this Crysis ad is “New York, New York” by Polly Scattergood. Yeah; it’s a […]
