I think we can sum up the Duke Nukem Forever with the familiar mantra of “guns, girls and explosions”. And aliens. Aliens and humuor. It’s an interesting mix. I’m in two minds about Duke Nukem; one half respects the nostalgia and the second half would needs more RPG juice to make picking this up worthwhile. […]

LittleBigPlanet 2 rocked by “Kill Obama” levels
My copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 is sitting on the table waiting to be played. It just has to wait until I finally finish off Fallout New Vegas. That’ll happen soon because I really want to play LittleBigPlanet again. What I don’t want is to stumble into stupid American political diatribe. The team over at Destructoid […]
Games Workshop’s Blood Angels trailer
Games Workshop have a new video teaser for the Space Marine chapter the “Blood Angels”. New figures are due out in Feb 2011. The video shows the new Blood Angel models including the Furioso Dreadnought (which looks like it’ll take many months of pocket money to buy!) and the Stormraven. Some of the YouTube comments […]
Final Fantasy XIII-2 confirmed
There will be a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. This isn’t the surprise it could have been because the clever internet noticed Square Enix’s domain name registration company buyng a Final Fantasy XIII-2 domain. The official Final Fantasy XIII-2 site is a microsite on Square-Enix right now though. Oh. And it’s in Japanese. At the […]
Advanced Fighting Fantasy and Out of the Pit re-released
Arion Games have teamed up with Cubicle 7 to bring us that old stalwart of introductory RPGs – Advanced Fighting Fantasy. Advanced Fighting Fantasy was the roleplaying game that evolved from Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone‘s famous solo adventure Fighting Fantasy series of books. The new version of Advanced Fighting Fantasy is due out in […]
Kinect controlled robot – the first Kinect controlled model?
This video is frightfully impressive. This is all the work of a hobbyist and V-Sido software, which, if you want, you can get here. As you watch this video think about the robot’s balance. It simply isn’t falling over despite leaning quite some distances in some of the Kinect-powered poses. It’s impressive stuff. This particular […]
Ian Livingstone cashes in again as RockYou buys Playdemic
RockYou, the social gaming company made famous and successful by Facebook, has bought the Manchester based Playdemic. The future looks good for Playdemic. They purchase means they’ll have heavy targets to meet and probably a change of working but this acts as one heck of a “save point” for the company. In addition, RockYou are […]
UK based Guild Companion Publications pick up HARP, Rolemaster and Spacemaster license
Back in 2001 Aurigas Aldebaron purchased Iron Crown Enterprises (aka ICE) and all its intellectual property. I remember ICE for their MERP license most of all but they lost that late in 1999. Aurigas Aldebaron is a company which manages the ownership of intellectual property – like gaming worlds and systems – and had (and […]
Freak Mario to save Mario?
This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=863GSlfp9Uw One more […]
Bulletstorm ad mocks Halo ad
Cast your mind back to 2007. It was an era before we had Microsoft Kinect but we still had the Xbox and we still had Halo. In fact, Halo 3 was due out and Microsoft had put together a dramatic and take-me-seriously advert for the game. It was called Believe. Here’s a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXeST0NMtic Keep […]
