Square Enix UK have engaged in a bit of agency shuffling prior to the promotion of Final Fantasy XIII this year. The account is worth 6 figures – that’s a lot of money to the agency involved. Square Enix had been with MJ Media but Eidos, which Square Enix bought last year, had been using […]

Sony buys Media Molecule – LittleBigPlanet and security
Sony have bought Media Molecule. Media Molecule are the dev house behind PlayStation’s run away online success LittleBigPlanet. You only need to look at how heavily LittleBigPlanet features – still – in PlayStation’s advertising to see how important a game this is for them. Over at the PlayStation EU blog we get the official lowdown […]
Tahiticora in a thong – is it an advert for Xbox?
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
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 […]

Not sure why they’re calling Monster Hunter 3 Monster Hunter Tri but they are.

The cinematic trailer looks impressive. I’ve not played any of the Monster […]

Only light reveals truth | Alan Wake trailer
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 […]

Ad: PS3 White Knight Chronicles trailer
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 […]
