Okay; so I’m following Naruto by the DVD release schedule here in the UK. Don’t mock me! It means the next disc is the start of Naruto Shippuuden. It’s late. I know the cheeky scamp gets a new costume. Or an old costume with black patches sewn on it. Whereas I worry about spoilers – […]
Bandai Namco loose $312m – computer games vs toys
The publisher Namco Bandai is reporting a hefy $312m loss for the end of its fiscal year. That’s a drastic drop when compared to the $126m profit it made the year before. Surprisingly, it was computer games that are responsible for much of this drop. Bandai Namco’s computer game outfit made an operating loss of […]
An introduction to Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
This looks like an interesting game. First off; it’s from a company called Ninja Theory. They’re the peeps behind Heavenly Sword. It should come out in 2010 and will be available for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game is set in a post apocalyptic future. I’m a fan of post apocalyptic settings as […]
Extended Clip: Birth of a Spartan
The rather dramatic “Birth of a Spartan” trailer for Halo: Reach is doing the rounds at the blogs. There are two reasons for this; firstly, this is a good trailer and secondly, the ad agencies involved and Microsoft are sponsoring some coverage. This is not a sponsored video placement. Instead, this video comes from the […]
Halo Reach – Carnage Carnival – discussions on game balance
Bungie has released a video called Carnage Carnival which features some of the team discussing the beta release of the game. A number of things are clear. First off; this is your typical “we’re very proud of our product” presentation. Bungie has every reason to be very proud of Halo and Halo Reach looks to […]
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
Ubisoft have been fairly upfront that a key tactic for this year is to get Assassin’s Creed 3 ready, stocked and sold as quickly as possible. Thanks to some careful domain watching we can now guess with a strong degree of confidence that the game will be called Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. How come? Ubisoft have […]
What’s in the Halo Reach Legendary Pack?
Game.co.uk are now accepting pre-orders for the Halo Reach Legendary Pack. This gives us a chance to see what’s inside it. It’s also worth noting that there are three versions of the game; standard, limited and legendary. The pre-order at Game.co.uk for the Legendary Pack costs nearly £100 and (due to weight) doesn’t ship outside […]
Xbox 360 is 5 times more likely to break than the PS3 (42 more likely than the Wii)
No Fuss Reviews has the results of over 500,000 responces to a gaming poll that suggests that the Xbox is far more likely to break than the Wii and the PlayStation 3. There is a catch, though. The survey is de-duplicated but it takes no account of marketshare. If more Xbox users responded to the […]
Promotional Alan Wake video
I’m curious about Alan Wake because it reminds me of an old game called Nox. Nox was a simple fantasy RPG. Alan Wake isn’t. What was superb about Nox was its use of light. Light came from glowing crystals. Magic power came from the same crystals. If you wanted to replenish your magic power you […]
