Zero Punctuation: Heavy Rain

Zero Punctuation: Heavy Rain HeavyRain thumb   Lazygamer

It’s Thursday which means it’s Zero Punctuation day, this week Yahtzee is reviewing Heavy Rain and…

Well I don’t know really, I was up pretty much all night and then overslept this morning and haven’t even watched it.

So hopefully it’s funny and as always I am pretty sure the language is shocking and I would hesitate a guess that it could offend those of Christian beliefs according to the frame above Just managed to watch it now and no there is no real religious offense at all.

Red Dead Redemption – Life in the West

Gavin Mannion - March 18th, 2010 at 7:30 am - 8 views - No Comments (be the first)

Red Dead Redemption

It’s been sometime since we posted anything about Red Dead Redemption but I am finally getting over the news that it has been delayed slightly and am getting back into the saddle.

I sometimes wish I was a cowboy in the old west, where when someone pissed you off you were fully in your rights to kill them and take their land. Yeah the law didn’t really agree with it but as long as you weren’t threatening everyone else they seem to be okay with it.

I would have so much land by now… or be dead…

Check out the latest video entitled “Life in the West” below.

Perfect Dark Is Live On Xbox Live Marketplace

Perfect Dark Is Live On Xbox Live Marketplace PD   Lazygamer

I’ve never played a Perfect Dark game, but according to everyone who has they were pretty awesome.

The port of the very popular N64 title is now available to download on the Xbox Live Marketplace at the very reasonable price of 800 MS points. The download will eat 239MB of bandwidth.

It has all the goodness of the original that everyone loved, so go out and grab it if you are a fan or want to know what all the fuss was about.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Sneaks Onto Our Shelves In June Peacewalker   Lazygamer

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be the newest offering from legendary game designer Hideo Kojima.

Even though the game will only be available on the not-so-recently-popular PSP system, Kojima promises that Peace Walker will definitely be all that and a bag of chips. The good news, is that the game finally has a release date in our region.

Peace Walker will release on June 18, happy days.

Peter Molyneux : Heavy Rain Will “…Show the way forward to a new form of entertainment”

 Peter Molyneux : Heavy Rain Will “…Show the way forward to a new form of entertainment” HeavyRain   Lazygamer

Peter Molyneux has been known to mouth off about the technical and artistic advancements in his own game, normally before they’re released and then apologising about them not living up to his promises after they’re available.

Turns out he’s equally capable of heaping glowing praise on other people’s games – and he did just that quite lavishly with Quantic Dreams’ Heavy Rain.

The God of War III Launch at BT Games

The God of War III Launch at BT Games header thumb   Lazygamer

God of War III, one of the biggest games of the year for Sony is now available in stores that didn’t break the release date – and as Gavin said earlier if you’re a PS3 owner there’s really no excuse to not get your hands on it. To celebrate the launch of such a colossal franchise, BT Games and Ster-Kinekor joined hands to host a midnight launch at many of the nation’s BT Games stores.

The main launch event took place at the Eastgate concept store, one of the venues where the Kratos cosplay competition was being held. I went along, because a midnight launch for one of the year’s most celebrated games, at one of the country’s most prominent gaming stores, complete with a bunch of guys playing dress-up would provide quite the spectacle, right? Well, no.

Rumour : New Leaked 360 Board Hints at 360 Slim

Rumour : New Leaked 360 Board Hints at 360 Slim 360slimboard   Lazygamer

Leaked images have surfaced showing off what’s purported to be the new motherboard for the Xbox 360. The most interesting thing about it, other than its reduced size is that the the GPU and CPU have been reduced to a single chip, with active cooling instead of just a heatsink and heat pipe.

This doesn’t seem to be just a revised version of the board either – it’s more of a complete redesign, and hints at the possibility of a 360 Slim on the way.

Super Gamers IQ Test   Can You Name Them All? GameIQ   Lazygamer

So, you think you are a hardcore gamer? You think that you know your stuff, eh? Well think again.

This image that you are about to see in full size is a compilation of 375 games and around 425 videogame characters. Question is, are you good enough to name them all? I had a good crack at it and while I was satisfied with my performance, I missed quite a few.

In the description on the top, a few extra challenges have been added a la Where’s Waldo so try them out too if you like.

How many can you name? Hit the jump for the full image and give it a go.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Release Date Announcement Close 14485orig thumb   Lazygamer

IO Interactive have put the word out that they will be releasing the final release date for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days soon. Along with the news that we will learn exactly when we get to dive back into the twisted depths of the characters, IO have also teased at the prospect of learning “something new” about the upcoming sequel to Kane & Lynch. So there could be an information overload for the fans out there.

Lynch’s paranoid schizophrenia is set to return along with an altered style, the developers have opted for one of the most contemporary forms of visual representation for a video game to date, YouTube. This documentary style of perceiving the actions of the characters is looking to change the face of the game altogether.

Nexuiz coming to the PS3

Nexuiz coming to the PS3 NexuizHeader   Lazygamer

I haven’t heard of Nexuiz before but I received a PR in my inbox this morning heralding the arrival of the PC arena shooter Nexuiz on the PS3.

Nexuiz has been built on the latest Quake engine and from what I can understand is very much styled after the old school Quake Arena gameplay with their special ingredient being mutators that you unlock via gameplay that can completely change the course of the battle.

God of War 3 Release Trailer GodOfWar3 thumb   Lazygamer

God of War 3 is now available to pick up at all good shops and if you have a PS3 there really isn’t any good reason for you to not get it.

However if you are still not convinced by the all round great reviews and exceptional feedback then Sony has released a final launch trailer for God of War 3 which can be found after the break.

It’s awesome.

Apparently you can beat God of War 3 in 8 hours GodOfWarPlaytime thumb   Lazygamer

God of War 3 was officially released at 12:01 this morning and if you are exceptionally dedicated then you are possibly just over an hour away from finishing it.

Despite what the God of War developer stated yesterday it appears you can in fact finish the game in around 8 hours as can be seen from the image above.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, A new title from Bethesda

Hunted: The Demons Forge, A new title from Bethesda 214416 11   Lazygamer

Bethesda have announced that they will be publishing a new fantasy game from inXile Entertainment.  Although inXile veered away from any major platform since their mediocre adaptation of “The Bard’s Tale” to consoles in 2004, their founder, Brian Fargo is very well known for the projects he has been part of, of which Carmageddon, Fallout  and Baldur’s Gate are just a few.

Bethesda is undoubtedly one of the forerunners in the Fantasy/Role Playing genre, and are known for taking on great projects that have a massive fan base. From the screens that have been released thus far, this co-op, cross-platform dungeon crawler looks good, lets hope Bethesda build on their reputation and that of Brian Fargo’s.

Crackdown 2 Video Documentary Shows The Awesome Crackdown2vid   Lazygamer

Pretty much all of us here at Lazygamer are massive fans of the first Crackdown. What was originally known only as the “Halo 3 Beta” turned out to be an incredibly epic open-world action title that focused on fun more than anything else.

A video documentary for Crackdown 2 is out and it looks like it’s only going to get better. 4 player co-op, new features, 16 player versus multiplayer… it all sounds fantastic.

Hit the jump and see for yourself.

Pach Attack number 6 – Will Sega return and when will the Wii HD be released?

Gavin Mannion - March 16th, 2010 at 2:30 pm - 62 views - No Comments (be the first)

Pach Attack

In this week’s Pach-Attack we see Michael Pachter answering some questions about whether SEGA will relaunch a console in the future and when we can expect all three manufacturers to release new consoles.

When it comes to consoles I have to agree with Michael and say that I don’t think the market is big enough for 4 major players unless the 4th player brings something entirely new to the table.

In my opinion the market is only handling 3 players since the Wii is so vastly different from the other 2.
