Everyone who entered the original competition is a winner! They’ve been sent access codes. It’s still worth being a private beta […]

Madness? Is Innistrad one Magic: The Gathering collection too far?
If you’re a Magic: The Gathering fan then go to Facebook and LIKE the card game. Wizards of the Coast have a funky “visual reveal” panel that’s teasing us with new cards from the latest expansion to the evergreen CCG. Take a look at “Bump in the Night” on the right there; a Black sorcery […]
Win Heroes of Neverwinter beta codes
Update! The goalposts shifted on us, folks! Everyone who entered this competition already is a winner! There are still some codes left in the new flash competition. Did you play Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures only to wake up one day and find it yanked from Facebook? Perhaps you’ve been hearing more and more chat […]
RPG Musical: Role Initiative
Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Tera teaser does high fantasy and looks awesome
Tera – actually, I think we’re supposed to call it TERA – looks pretty cool. It’s another combat-centric MMORPG. However, this one is from the heavy hitting Frogster and promises to have a political system that let players experience the MMO community in a new way. It’s just speculation but I wonder how far they’ll […]
Heads up: Final Fantasy XIII-3 is probably on its way
What did you make of Final Fantasy XIII? Did it satisfy your Final Fantasy itch? I’m still looking for Square Enix to follow on Final Fantasy VII but I played Final Fantasy XIII for a bit. I’m still wrestling with the news that they’re making a sequel; early next year we should get Final Fantasy […]

Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death on the PSN review
Talisman of Death was one of the very popular Fighting Fantasy adventure books you may remember from yesteryear. UK based company Laughing Jackal, who seem well connected with original authors Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, have brought the game to the PlayStation Network. This may sound like common sense – which means I’m probably wise […]
Space Marine: Thunder Hammer
What’s your favourite bit of kit from the Warhammer 40K universe? Something deadly and awesome? Something that does justice to the hi-tech meets blood and guts nature of the future world? Perhaps it’s the Thunder Hammer. It’s good to know that the warhammer features in the Warhammer world of the future. Except the Thunder Hammer […]
The Dark Souls prologues
Namco Bandai have been releasing the usual trickle of videos to support one of their forthcoming games. In this case it’s Dark Souls. It’s due out next month and will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It was actually Prologue II that caught my attention. I went back through the press releases from […]
