Fighting the Metal Queen in Brutal Legend

October 17, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brutal Legend is going onto my Christmas wishlist. I’m just not sure whether I want the PS3 or the Xbox 360 version. I guess, if there is a tie, then the Xbox 360 wins due to Xbox Live and a better gamer point system. Do you agree? Anyway; here’s a great video tutorial from Geoff […]

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 Master Chief

October 16, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

He may not be in this year’s Halo hit – ODST – but he’s very much still the blood and soul of the amazing series. Mainly the blood part, perhaps. This Halloween, with ODST still being played over the interwebs by XBL buddies, a Master Chief half-mask seems like a sure in. That’s why it’s […]

Valve pumps $25m into Left 4 Dead 2 ad campaign

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We all know that games are big business these days and rival even movies when it comes to the profits the smash hits can make. It’s also true that games are being increasingly promoted like movies and with movie like budgets. Left 4 Dead is a fantastic game. It’s so good that it’s advertising successes […]

Freaky: Ronald McDonald takes on KFC

October 5, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a Megaman inspired act of craziness that features an animated Ronald McDonald bringing battle with KFC’s Colonel. There’s not much else that can be said about a PlayStation game that features giant hamburger battles or fried chicken legs as a health metre!

English Heritage has announced a partnership with Sony. The deal makes use of the PSP as an interactive learning platform. The device is used to showcase video, live broadcasts, recording, photograph and even semacodes.

Assassin’s Creed 2 – TGS trailer

September 27, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you want the White Edition you need to pick that up from Game. If you want the Black Edition you need to pick that up from Play.com. There will be people who’ll buy both. What do you think of the trailer? Looking good or still somewhat meh?

Left 4 Dead with evil Teletubbies mod

September 20, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s true and for many people far more scary than the zombies! This mod from Left 4 Dead Mods turns all the common infected into teletubbies. Yes, you can hear the warning sounds of a “la-la” as they approach and the “eh-oh” at the end of the round. With this mod you can set fire […]

Daft Punk mix Queen in DJ Hero ad

September 19, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

French funkmeisters Daft Punk make their first appearance  in a computer game with Activision‘s DJ Hero. In this YouTube ad we see the duo mix some old school British rock with Queen’s “We Will Rock you”. What do you think? Does your budget and shelf space stretch to another “Hero” music game? Or does the […]

Star Ocean (4): The Last Hope coming to the PS3

September 15, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Star Ocean had been an Xbox exclusive in Japan but Square Enix has now agreed to do a dual language release of the RPG for PlayStation. If Microsoft didn’t know from day one that this was going to happen then I can only imagine they’ll be raging at Square Enix. The Xbox has been making […]

Tron: Legacy computer game

September 13, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We might all have predicted it but confirmation that there will be a Tron: Legacy (the new Tron movie) computer game has come in an odd way. Producer Steven Lisberger told the Latino Review that he wasn’t sure if he should mention the game or not – but confirmed it anyway. Kotaku’s Owen Good has […]
