I’ll say this for Runespell – I was about 1 minute and 30 seconds into watching this video when it occured to me I was actually just watching a card game. It speaks very well to the design of the game that its fun enough to watch for a while. I imagine gameplay will be […]
Dragon Age 2: Legacy trailer
Legacy is a DLC for Dragon Age 2. It deals with the thorny issue of magic seals on a prison beginning to fade – and all the trouble that sort of situation is bound to create. What’s your view of Dragon Age 2? Is it BioWare at its best? Everything you hoped for in a […]
Dragons Dogma trailer
In the spirit of “It’s not an RPG – its a non-linear fantasy adventure” comes Dragons Dogma from Capcom. To be fair to Capcom, this is a fighting game, it’s a romp across an open world and pulls on the MT Framework engine. That’s the beast behind the lighting effects and graphics of Resident Evil […]
Left 4 Dead fan film gets another trailer
I think the sound in this trailer for the fan made Left 4 Dead film is remarkable. It gets the game exactly right. It sounds like Left 4 Dead. I think the actors are doing well too. No idea about how much time they put into this project but I suspect it’s a lot and […]
Kokurikozaka kara trailer
Kokurikozaka kara (or Kokuriko-Zaka Kara – someone help with the translation) is the latest from Studio Ghibli. I’m a Ghibli high after their very good Karigurashi No Arrietty / the Borrowers work. In fact, Kieko Niwa is one of the co-authors of this adaption and he worked on The Borrower Arrietty and Tales from Earthsea. […]
War in the North: Beleram
I’ve given War in the North plenty of coverage on Geek Native because it’s a Lord of the Rings game. The one franchise to rule them all. There’s been a common theme; heroes get in big strike, wonderful giant eagle swoops in and saves them. I was wondering whether this was a “call in an […]
Rise of Nightmares trailer
This blogger isn’t all that into horror games… well, except for anything Cthulhu flavoured, or perhaps BioShock and DeadSpace, so, erm, not really into horror games unless they’re touch with the holy goodness of RPGism. One of the reasons I struggle with some horror games is – even though I see it coming – I’ll […]
Darkness – the game, the introduction
The Darkness is a comic from Top Cow and a spin off from Witchblade. It started back in 1996 and features a hitman called Jackie Estacado. On his 21st birthday is power manifests and he becomes the bearer of The Darkness. The Darkness threatens many otherworldly powers who move against Jackie. Here’s the catch. The […]
Mass Effect 3: Fall of Earth
How is the urge to go back and play Mass Effect 2? Even though there’s probably new DLC you can play though. Even though… er, probably, maybe, we might get to import our Shepards from the end of ME2 into the beginning of ME3? I screwed up. ME2 was my first Mass Effect and I […]
100 seconds of Cowboys & Aliens
There was a nice long trailer of Jon Favreau‘s Cowboys & Aliens film… the result? The internet has many copies. The movie is due out shortly; my local cinemas already have the posters up and this blogger lives in Scotland. That’s miles away! It’ll star Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Keith Carradine […]
