Felicia Day, The Guild and the Microsoft Advertising Story

February 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a fairly long video from Microsoft that pitches their advertising capabilities to companies and agencies. In it we pick up stats about how many people can be reached via their mobile, web and gaming properties. It also features Felicia Day – Felicia Day the person and Felicia Day the brand. She’s a good […]

I Am Alive: Follow the rules and you might survive too

December 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What will Ubisoft do after Assassin’s Creed. A glance at I Am Alive suggests the answer might rest in the post-apocalyptic future. After all – we can see building climbing will be important in the game. Mind you; Ubisoft’s YouTube page describes the game as “downloadable” and the cover says Arcade. It’s hard to imagine […]

The Moon Knight joins Marvel Pinball

November 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel have a pinball game for Xbox Live and PSN. Did you know? The latest hero to join the pinball challenge is Moon Knight. He joins the likes of Captain America, Ghost Rider, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom and evil the X-Men in the game. I guess it’s a late Saturday night alternative to battle […]

Awesomenauts

August 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

Xbox Live to be baked into Windows 8

June 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had the chance to talk to Mike Delman of Microsoft at E3. He dug out some interesting responses. It sounds as if the chances of an “Xbox Phone” are even higher than before although it may be a “certification” model that Sony are currently using with Android. Here’s the […]

E3: Bastion RPG trailer

June 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bastion looks to be a quirky game – but interesting never the less. Another reason to support this RPG is that it’s been developed by the independent studio Supergiant Games along with heavy hitting partners Warner Bros. The game is described as an RPG in which you play “the Kid” as a survivor of a […]

Sony Song: Still Alive versus PSN

April 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You must know Still Alive from the end of Portal. Imagine if you’ve bought Portal 2, really want to play it on Sony’s PSN… ouch, some of you are in that situation. You can’t. Not while PSN is down. That’s the first reason why this song is clever. I think the other reason is clever […]

Leaked? Microsoft WGX Windows Gaming Experience and Xbox Live

March 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is from a YouTube account run by “SEO whistle blower”. I suspect Microsoft may yank this video once they’re aware and it’s not supposed to be seen by the public. That said; this is a very public friendly video. In the vid we see Microsoft’s vision for the combined Xbox Live and Windows […]
