Capcom trying something new with Dragon’s Dogma

May 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dragon’s Dogma comes to us from the team who contributed hugely to Resident Evil. In fact, Dragon’s Dogma will ship with a redeemable token allowing early access to the Resident Evil 6 demo. ResEvil 4 and Devil May Cry’s influence will be pretty clear in the stylised action combat too. However, the twist in Dragon’s […]

Toei have released the first 20 minutes of Rainbow-Colored Fireflies: The Eternal Summer Vacation (Niji-iro Hotaru Eien no Natsu Yasumi). They’ve said they’ll make it available until the 18th of May which is just before the cinema release. It’s not clear whether they’ll then pull this clip from YouTube. Yuta is a young boy who […]

Goblinworks turns to Kickstarter: Pathfinder Online faces investor objections

May 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The headline news is that you can now get a piece of Pathfinder Online fame by being a backer at Kickstarter. At the time of posting, 463 gamers had done just that, raising more than $33,000 and with one of the three $5,000 top tier pledges already gone. We’re a day into the project. However, […]

May 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The free-to-play sandbox shooter Brick-Force launched an online comic today. In Brick-Force players create worlds (you guessed it; brick by brick) and then share them with the gaming community. These worlds become the setting for quick PvP or computer opponent battles. The comic is designed to help build that fan base and community that keeps […]

Google’s [ling rush] works as well as the zergs

May 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chances are high that you know popping over to Google and adding [zerg rush] into the search box activates an easter egg. It’s a hidden game. You’ve got to stop the zerg like Google o’s before they consume your entire screen. What’s not so widely known is that [ling rush] works as well. Same game. […]

Robopocalypse: How to survive the robot uprising

May 8, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video makes some important points. Sure, yes, we worry about a zombie apocalypse – and that might happen thanks to chemical warfare, mucking around with genes or too much exposure to reality TV. But is it likely? What seems far more likely is a robot uprising. Today, Google’s robot car got its own license. […]

The Hunt for Pikachu

May 8, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Forget the Blair Witch project… this is a little more like Troll Hunter. Two friends set off in search for a real life Pikachu. Can you predict the results? It’s worth watching the making of video if you’re into vid-ed.

Real life transformer

May 8, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s worth watching as this RC car drives on screen. What’s the fuss about? That would be a fair question to ask if you hadn’t seen the title of the post. The car really transforms. I think the bar is higher now. Can it transform from car to standing robot quickly? How mobile and agile […]

Occupy Mushroom Kingdom: The Best We Can Be – A Princess Peach musical

May 7, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I can’t deny it. This is a weird video. A Princess Peach musical is odd enough but this one projects warped humour, has an interesting voice of sound and an interesting choice of Princess. That said; it certainly commands your attention. The best part? Occupy the Mushroom Kingdom. The second best part? Watch to the […]
