Dungeon Siege III will be out in May 2011. That’s reason to be cheerful! It’ll be available for the PC but also for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I suspect this bashed up laptop won’t be able to run it so it’ll be a console version for me. There are some significant behind the scene […]

The Future Foundation and Spider-Man [spoilers]
Wait. No. Slow down. If you’re allergic to spoilers then run! Run for the hills! If you’re not allergic to spoilers and know which of the Fantastic Four died then it is safe to keep reading. Still here? Good. The new comic by Steve Epting and Jonathan Hickman, FF#1, is about The Future Foundation. See […]
Patrick Stewart in The Sims Medieval trailer
EA are promoting The Sims Medieval via a funky video gadget widget thingy of doom. They’re also using the tried and tested voice of Patrick Stewart. It’s simple but effective. Rather than having just one video to promote the game or release a bunch in an annoying drip-drip effect, hoping the bloggers stay interested, EA […]
The Slytherin pole dance (Harry Potter and the…?)
Heh. I know from the traffic logs that the Hentai Harry Potter post is far too popular for the joke it is. This insight tells me that a the Harry Potter pole dance will be even more popular. Except, well, I want to call it the Slytherin pole dance. Not just because “slither” is a […]
The Lord of the Rings: Black Numenorean trailer, council cut
Warner Bros and Snowblind Studios have opened the doors to The Council of the North as an community for Lord of the Rings fans. There are perks for joining up. Council memembers get “unparalleled special access” (their words) to video game information, insight from the dev team, Q&As, unique screenshots and concept art. Key members […]
Games Workshop signs 6 year deal with Warner for Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
Good news for battling British war games dealer Games Workshop. They’ve managed to secure an impressive six-year extension to their Lord of the Rings deal with Warner Bros. The result? Games Workshop can continue to make tabletop games based on “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”. This is a global deal. Needless to […]
Bulletstorm causes insanity, encourages rape and annoys Germans
EA’s forthcoming game Bulletstorm seems to have having a weird effect on the world. Yesterday, Fox News (I use ‘News’ only as part of their brand, I’m not suggesting it’s an actual news site) asked Is Bulletstorm the Worst Video Game in the World? and went on to suggest that games like it encourage rape. […]
DC Universe: Fractured Future trailer
I still don’t trust my willpower to go near any MMORPG. If did want to dabble in that area then I’d seriously consider checking out DC Universe. The first DC Universe trailer was awesome and horrible. It was horrible because it painted such a bleak future. Step up “Fractured Future” which does the same again. […]
Pokemon on a shoestring budget
Let’s just say you had to recreate the opening Pokemon squence with your friends. No, imagine you *had* to do it… because, er, if you don’t then aliens with sharks for heads would invade the planet and eat all the hamsters. So, there you have it, you have to recreate the opening to Pokemon. You’ve […]
The League of STEAM power “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” for Panic! at the Disco
Panic! at the Disco’s latest music video “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” was put together with the assistance of geek natives The League of Steam. We’ve written about The League of STEAM before, here they are chasing vampires, but this is impressively high profile stuff. The video is richly steampunk and so Panic! at the […]
