Forsaken World trailer
The Forsaken World is a free to play MMO from Perfect World. Normally trailers from the free to play MMOs are… well, they’re a bit meh. They tend to show in-game scenes which aren’t all that impressive because the games are free to play and sometimes need to keep things simple in order to run […]
Amazing FPS crafted in… LittleBigPlanet 2?!
People have made some pretty impressive levels in LittleBigPlanet and some even more impressive ones in LittleBigPlanet 2. This level, from “Steve_Big_Guns” is simply incredible though. It’s almost hard to believe anyone’s sat down with the LBP2 engine to produce something like this. Before you watch, keep in mind that this is supposed to be […]
Baptism of Fire review
Baptism of Fire is a World War II RPG. The book, available from Amazon, weighs in at 354 pages and makes use of the d20 system. If you’re a fan of military RPGs then it’s certainly worth looking at and I’ll risk the prediction that you’ll end up buying it. The advantage of the d20 […]
Three Man Chess
A company based in Nashville, Tennessee, has invented a chess variant that lets three people play at once. The game promises not to compromise the traditional rules, makes clever use of a circular board and diagonal moves. I think the circular board looks fantastic. It’s the sort of thing that would look perfect on someone’s […]
A trio of new Witcher 2 videos
Today is Witcher 2 day. CD projekt and Namco Bandai are keeping the interest levels up by releasing a batch of videos. We’ve three more and they’re all worth a watch, even if there’s some overlap. In fact, if your rig can cope I recommend slapping the resolution on the videos up and enjoying full […]
Dead Island’s Island of Beauty trailers show censored scene
For some reason the American board of censors objected to the original box cover and it was censored. The original showed a figure hanging from a palm tree. The replacement showed a zombie. That’s why the latest Dead Island trailer – called Island of Beauty – might be considered a cheeky one. It’s a good […]
Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings cinematic trailer
Even as an European I think some of the accents on CD Projeckt’s The Witcher trailers are a little odd… but that’s about the only negative comment I’ve got. Geek Native posted Witcher 2 roundup last month and now we’ve got our hands on the last cinematic trailer. It’s well worth the watch.
Dragon Quest 6: Realms of Revelation
Dragon Quest 6 is an RPG for the DS. If you’re familiar with the series then you might be pleased to know that the class system fron Dragon Quest 3 returns (with some modifications) and yet Heartbeart have stuck with the post Dragon Quest 4 graphic improvements. Dragon Quest 6 is a save the world […]
New Zelda song is old Zelda song… just played backwards satanic style
There was a time when the conservative right objected to rock music. A common claim was that if a certain track was played backwards it would contain satanic messages. Once or twice this was true. What happens if we apply this test to The Legend of Zelda’s Skyward Sword Theme? I’ll tell you what; you’ll […]
