Tahiticora in a thong – is it an advert for Xbox?

March 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The marketing gossip site AdRants claims the following video is an ad for Microsoft’s Xbox. The research I’ve had to put into this is terrible. Terrible. There is certainly a model called Tahiticora and she certainly seems to make an asset out of her ass. She’s also on Twitter. As well as publishing this video […]

Is the Alpha Protocol the Espionage RPG

February 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

They’re tagging the game as the “Espionage RPG” and I can see why – it looks like Splinter Cell. Splinter Cell wasn’t an RPG though and although this trailer looks pretty fantastic – it looks pretty linear too. Seems to me that the choices you make might not influence the plot all that much. Or […]

Monster Hunter Tri trailer

February 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Not sure why they’re calling Monster Hunter 3 Monster Hunter Tri but they are. Not that it matters much but it means online retailers thinking about search will have to work out how to collect those would-be shoppers searching for Monster Hunter 3. The cinematic trailer looks impressive. I’ve not played any of the Monster […]

Mum raises $13,105 by selling one old Nintendo and 5 games on ebay

February 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I’d be pretty annoyed if someone sold my old gaming console without asking my permission first. Let’s really hope that’s not what has happened here. A mum in the US, North Carolina in fact, put some old gaming gear form the attic on sale in ebay. It went for over $13,000. The reason? One of […]

Only light reveals truth | Alan Wake trailer

February 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This game as been a while in the making – it was first announced in 2005 and we got the latest trailer in Microsoft’s X10. Alan Wake looks pretty … well, pretty scary. Alan and Alice don’t appear to have a good time in Bright Falls. Alan’s not had a good time with the PC […]

Imagine thinking you were going to be a survivor. You’ve your stash of weapons, you have got a pipe bomb ready and you’re immune to the zombie plague. Except. No. You’re not.

Ad: PS3 White Knight Chronicles trailer

February 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Level 5 are the dev house behind Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy. What they’re trying to do with White Knight Chronicles is bring a real time RPG to the PlayStation 3. Watch this advert for the game and let me know if you think they’ll be pushing the voice communication aspects of the game. It […]

PlayStation with an ace new God of War 3 trailer

February 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Over at the European PlayStation blog, Thach Quach the Senior European Product Manager, brings us one of the “omg the scale is huge!” trailers for God of War 3. Like Thach, I’m going to borrow from the US and quote; “Just to give a little perspective on what we were going for with this trailer, […]

February 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Wow. Take Bleach (which is cool) and blend it with the usually awesome strategy RPG game genre and what do you get? You get Bleach: The 3rd Phantom. This Nintendo DS game looks like it has everything going for it. It’s the first ever Bleach strategy game. I actually think Bleach should make a great […]

Dead or Alive Paradise with creepy, cheesy voyeurism – tempted?

February 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We all know about the beach volleyball spin off series that supports Dead of Alive. We know it’s not there to test your brain power. The Japanese censors have used the words “creepy voyeurism” and “cheesy” to describe the game. It’s still being published, of course. Here’s a translated quote; Parents and consumers should know […]
