This blog doesn’t often look at Xbox Live Arcade games but Awesomenauts had a title interesting enough to catch the attention. Awesomenauts is a MOBA. I’m told that’s a Multiuser Online Battle Arena and as far I can I tell you log in simply to blast chunks off one another. Awesomenauts has Russian monkeys with […]

Mario cupcakes are super!
I never imaged that Goombas could be so tasty. Turns out they’re as tasty as the non-fungus form of mushrooms. That’s right; Mario mushroom cupcakes and some oddly cute looking Goomba cupcakes. Deviant Artist Tomo Chi is the brilliant brain behind this collection. The green ice cream cones were a last minute decision and a […]
Get On It – Mister Who
Mister Who is an animated comic and ambitious franchise from London. It’s the sort of comic that’s drawn with more streetwise than most of the fictional heroes could aspire to and yet the production team busys themselves with school outreach projects. This YouTube is a Mister Who music video for “Get On It” which features […]
Is this the best GM seat ever?
Have you ever encountered the “too many books – too few desk space” problem while running a game? You can’t leave books out on the floor; players might get a peak of what’s to come. In fact, sometimes you may want a book sitting harmlessly on its shelf until it’s needed so players don’t have […]
Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes
Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes is a play for free multiplayer from BioWare Mythic. It’s expected out in the autum of this year and you can sign up for beta access at Wrath of Heroes.com already. Note the term “play for free”. I suspect this means it’ll be possible to spend money in order to […]
First three PWNED clips from GamesCon 2011
This series of sponsored videos is a fantastic way to catch up, documentary style, with GamesCon 2011. They’re sponsored by EA so expect something of an EA centric approach – but we do get gamer geek goodies such as a discussion about Mass Effect 3.
2 minute preview of The Immortals
This ad is cunningly 2:22 long. The movie comes out on the 11.11.11. It’s a 3D movie too. I guess someone was feeling clever with the numbers. This is a 300 inspired movie. Ancient hereos, swords and sandals but mixed up with divine magic and mythos. It’s an attempt to remove the gods from the […]
Darksiders 2 looking impressive
THQ’s Darksiders 2 is looking pretty impresive. Despite some clever TV sponsorship in front of geeky TV with interesting looking ads – I never picked up Darksiders. I think it’ll be even harder to avoid the temptation of Darksiders 2. Go Death! Who would have thought we’d follow Death through the realms of angels, demons […]
Of Orcs and Men trailer
Of Orcs and Men is a roleplaying game from Cyanide Studios and Spiders (I’m sure quite a lot of people would be happy to put cyanide in with spiders; in this case, though, two different companies). The CRPG is due out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. In the game the character is an elite […]
BioWare’s Muzyka and Zeschuk invest in Empire Avenue
You might have encountered sites like Klout which attempt to measure how much influence you have on Twitter and other social media spaces. It’s a challenge; people are good at gaming the system. Step in Empire Avenue. It’s a stock market model that measures how influential people are but then allows players to buy and […]
