I have a conflict of interest. I don’t work in TV advertising. I work in digital marketing. The company that is responsible for the latest Call of Duty ad decided some old bloke sitting on a rotting chair telling me all the ways people “are doing it” would inspire me to buy the Modern Warefare […]

Japanese gamers squabble over Xenoblade quality
Xenoblade is the next game in the Xenosaga. Monolith Soft have taken their time over this game and so it comes as little surprise that RPG fans are paying the teaser trailer so much attention. The first thing to keep in mind that this RPG is for the Wii. The second thing to keep in […]
Promotional Alan Wake video
I’m curious about Alan Wake because it reminds me of an old game called Nox. Nox was a simple fantasy RPG. Alan Wake isn’t. What was superb about Nox was its use of light. Light came from glowing crystals. Magic power came from the same crystals. If you wanted to replenish your magic power you […]
Mass Effect 2 – Kasumi DLC
Thoughts and impressions on Bioware’s new Mass Effect 2 DLC
Mass Effect 2’s Mordin sings Gilbert and Sullivan
Mordin is one of my favourite characters from Mass Effect 2. He’s funny and therefore worth keeping alive. If you get to know Mordin well enough he makes mention that he’s even sung. Continue that chain of chat and he’ll give you a quick song. A highlight of the game. Mordin’s song is inspired by […]

Monster Hunter Tri trailer, Wii speak and European servers
Monster Hunter Tri (MH3) hits European Wii’s on April 23rd. It’s the first time the franchise has made it to the popular household console. It’s significant because the game will be fully Wii Speak compatible which means you’ll be able to play the game with up to three friends online. The Wii’s always needed more […]
Fullmetal Alchemist as a CRPG
There’s going to be a Fullmetal Alchemist RPG for the PSP – and it looks pretty cool. Right now we’ve got Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood going great guns in both the US and the UK so while this preview is entirely in Japanese we can be hopeful the game makes the leap to an English version. […]
Fable 3 borrows from Batman and Python – John Cleese will be your butler
There have been plenty teasers of information snippets from Molyneux about Fable 3. We know he’s interested in Natal and that the game will focus on royalty and running the realm. GDC has created some more teasers. Kotaku has some screenshots (sampled below). We were also told that British comedy hero John Cleese will play […]
Sadie O’Down, Insignificant Other, versus Kratos, God of War 3
I don’t always think Sony gets it right with their TV advertising. This ad for God of War 3, however, is fantastic. Actually; it might not be Sony behind this one – could be the developers Santa Monica Studio – but my hunch is that it’s Sony. Why is the ad any good? Because it’s […]
