Xbox Live to be baked into Windows 8

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had the chance to talk to Mike Delman of Microsoft at E3. He dug out some interesting responses. It sounds as if the chances of an “Xbox Phone” are even higher than before although it may be a “certification” model that Sony are currently using with Android. Here’s the […]

Sexy Dungeons and Dragons ad campaign from the 80s

June 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I’d describe this as a blast from the past – but I’ve never seen it before. Geeks may well notice the ad for “Warlocks & Warriors” and “Dungeon!”. The TSR logo will leap off the page. What about the tag line; “Where The Action Is?” Do you agree? Via URLbits.

Fable 4: The Journey Demo was a “Horrendous Mistake”

June 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was watching Twitter during the Fable: The Journey demonstration at E3. I saw one comment whisk by “There’s a man on stage pretending to be a horse”. I laughed at the time. Now, it seems, Fable boss isn’t laughing. He(the horse man in question) and his team now regret the demo. In the demo […]

Airship Pirates preview

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Cakebread & Walton have released the first preview of the Airship Pirates RPG. This is a steampunk RPG based on the music of Abney Park. As Cakebread & Walton point out this is a works in progress so ignore the references to page XX. Peter Cakebread and Ken Walton are the designers behind for Clockwork […]

E3: A Game of Thrones – Genesis trailer

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The website for A Game of Thrones – Genesis is already live and busy. Genesis takes place 1,000 years before the first book so should be spoiler free. In the strategy game you play as one of the eight significant houses in Westerous and attempt to take control of the Iron Throne. Cyanide, developers, promise […]

E3: BioShock Infinate trailer

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just when you thought all the best trailers from E3 had dried up – Geek Native manages to dig up 2K and Irrational Games’ BioShock Infinate teaser. This is expected out in 2012 and will be for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If it comes out late enough in the year then it may […]

More pictures from Syfy’s new sci-fi TV show and MMO

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]

Dungeons and Dragons: Neverwinter trailer & Heroes of Neverwinter screens

June 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

There are two “Neverwinter” games coming out and the PR material for both are being lumped together.  There’s a RPG for Facebook and a more typical action RPG. Atari have the D&D franchise when it comes to company games but different developers become involved with the game. There are different developers on the different Neverwinter […]

Dragon Warriors trailer

June 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dragon Warriors was the first ever RPG I bought. I’d been playing my own homebrew until then. The current home of Dragon Warriors is Serpent King Games – who might actually be better known by the founding trio’s names; Gareth Hanrahan, Jon Hodgson and Ian Sturrock. There’s a version of the new Dragon Warriors RPG […]

E3: Actual gameplay demo with Kinect and Mass Effect 3

June 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve had some official trailers for Mass Effect 3 that have come out of E3. I don’t think they did that good at job at illustrating what’s going to be cut scene and what’s actual gameplay. They certainly didn’t give an indication as to what the experience of playing the game was like… nor really […]
