LittleBigPlanet does Pirates of the Caribbean

December 16, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It isn’t just that this might be one of the cutest expansions of LittleBigPlanet yet that The Pirates of the Caribbean pack deserves a post. Although it’s certainly very cute; especially our Sack Boy Davy Jones. As it happens this expansion includes a new building material – water! My first thought was “cool!” and then […]

Link versus Chicken

December 16, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ryotiras has summed up a Zelda truism in this very funny comic strip. It reminds me very much of creating my first Baldur’s Gate modules where I had a flock of chickens plus two, modded, killer chickens. Always amusing to see the digital heroes battle past the air elementals only to be defeated by chickens. […]

Batman – Arkham Asylum 2 Announced

December 14, 2009 by Paul Leave a Comment

Batman: Arkham Asylum was without a doubt the finest Batman simulator ever released. It should come as no surprise then that a sequel was announced…

Halo: Reach trailer

December 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Can you wait for Halo: Reach? I’m not sure I can. Halo is the only game that challenges Left 4 Dead for pure and simple, pick up and play, fun on Xbox Live. Halo: ODST was just a small fix to keep this Halo junkie alive while he waited for the real deal.

Dark Void trailer

December 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dark Void is a forthcoming game from Capcom. What we’ve got here is the increasingly popular trend towards giving players a whole world to explore. Dark Void makes certain players can fly up as well as run around. Nevertheless, this is a tough market to sell to and we’ll have to see whether Dark Void […]

Red Dead Redemption trailer

December 6, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you think? Due out from 2010 and by Rockstar Games could this be Grand Theft Auto but with cowboys and horses? It’s an early trailer, sure enough, but no sign of the game play in this teaser either.

Super Mario Brothers Chess

December 1, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s a Christmas gift idea for a geek or Mario fan – Super Mario Brothers Chess. Doesn’t it look like a colourful change to the traditional game? I think this game is a sly idea if you want to encourge someone away from mindless games and towards tactic games that actually help brains grow and […]

Rabbids in panties

November 28, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Rabbids Lab sounded like a fun game – your own virtual Rabbid living in your wiimote. A rabbid which you could dress up and customise. I’m not sure this promotional video does the wiiware game any favours though. It just looks a bit… lacking. There doesn’t seem to be all that many options for your […]

Hull, UK / Yorkshire based Independent development studio, The Code Monkeys have launched their pick-up-and-play party game, Manic Monkey Mayhem on WiiWare. Imagine if the script writers of Dodgeball invited Mr Del Monte over for a few Brahma Beers and they stuck […]

Complete movie: Assassin’s Creed Lineage

November 17, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s long but worth it. The YouTube embed below is over half an hour long. Assassin Giovanni Auditore is sent to investigate the death of Duke of Milan. As you might expect this winds up involving all sorts of powerful and unexpected people.
