I’m not going to gush like a fanboy over the storyline trailer for D&D Daggerdale. I should have been an easy target but I’m disapppointed. It’s not that this video touches on cheese and looks cheap – it’s the lack of effort. Here’s the plot – someone accidently lets Mr Evil build a huge tower […]

First shots from Mass Effect 3
Those lucky blighters at GameInformer have been treated to the first ever screen shots from Mass Effect 3.

30 years of Call of Cthulhu
This may make you feel old, but 2011 is the 30th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu. Zip back in time to 1981. Sandy Petersen – he of Doom fame, yeah; the computer game – pitched a concept to the RPG publisher Chaosium that made use of Lovecraft’s Dreamlands setting. The original game, Dark Worlds, was […]
Darkspore: Skar the Shadow of Death
I’ve copies of Darkspore on order but to be honest I put that pre-order based on the fact that the game is somewhat related to Spore. I’m an RPGer at heart so am a little cautious about the mosh-melee vibes I’m getting from Darkspore but do remember how much fun Dungeon Siege I was so […]

Portal 2: Boots video
Turns out that Cave Johnson is willing to admit that there is a reproducible human error problem with the portal device. It’s all due to the way humans tend to land badly, especially from great heights, and the resulting damage that can occur to the portal generator. Needless to say, in order to protect the […]
