First DLC for Alan Wake: The Signal

July 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Remedy Games have every reason to be pleased with Alan Wake. It looks so good. Okay; I’ve not bought it… but that’s only because I’m forcing myself to play through Final Fantasy XIII. It feels more like a “not bought it yet”. A sign that a game is doing well is that the DLC starts […]

Ready for Kinect, ready for tomorrow – new Xbox ad keeps the focus on motion control

July 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s interesting but perhaps not surprising to see that Kinect features in the new Xbox 360 ads running in the UK this week. The new ad showcases the appearance of the new device while mentioning the hard disk size, its wi-fi and the claim that it’s “Ready for Kinect”. My old Xbox 360 is ready […]

Gamers Gaikai score with Intel investment

July 20, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This looks interesting. The over-the-internet games provider Gaikai has just landed some investment – some moola – with Intel Capital and Limelight Networks. The way Gaikai works is to let users play games like World of Warcraft without a download, install and just over the internet. A competitor would be a company like OnLive. What […]

Mega Man Universe trailer is pretty funky

July 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Capcom have released a trailer for the re-invented Mega Fan franchise. We don’t have much information but it looks a bit like Capcom are trying to tap into retro culture and unearth themselves a franchise with both creditability and some cash earning skills. That said; the trailer is pretty cool.

HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2

June 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]

There are more cocks on ChatRoulette than Xbox Live (via @darthchix0r)

March 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Gaming superstar Lisa Foiles bravely stepped into the Xbox Live spotlight for “Game with Fame”. It’s a Microsoft ploy that lets the great unwashed masses game with someone famous. You can imagine just how popular the Lisa Foiles event was going to be. Needless to say; Lisa (aka @darthchix0r) quickly hit the friend invite limit […]

Tahiticora in a thong – is it an advert for Xbox?

March 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The marketing gossip site AdRants claims the following video is an ad for Microsoft’s Xbox. The research I’ve had to put into this is terrible. Terrible. There is certainly a model called Tahiticora and she certainly seems to make an asset out of her ass. She’s also on Twitter. As well as publishing this video […]

Target charges $99 for console set up

January 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The US retailer Target – which hasn’t made it to the UK or mainland Europe yet – has a service that sets up gaming consoles at people’s homes. Imagine you’ve just bought a shiny new PS 3 or Xbox 360 but, oh no, you can’t figure out how to plug it into the TV. Disaster! […]

Blood Bowl out in Europe

December 30, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Blood Bowl is one of my favourite Games Workshop games of all time. My tem was a mix of humans and dwarves. I played Blood Bowl II and even painted the models. I hate model painting but painted cheerleaders got extra points. This trailer comes from SouthPeak. These guys are the people making the game. […]

Batman – Arkham Asylum 2 Announced

December 14, 2009 by Paul Leave a Comment

Batman: Arkham Asylum was without a doubt the finest Batman simulator ever released. It should come as no surprise then that a sequel was announced…
