There really isn’t much to say about these, they are screenshots from the upcoming Kinect sports which show your avatar partaking in a variety of sporting activities and that’s about it… Oh they have legs as well, which is something our E3 rep was quick to point out.
Just yesterday, a teensy weensy little trailer by some small little company named Bungie managed to just make it into the video section of our In Other News post at the end of the day. It is however, worth a little more than a link at the bottom of a post, as you will see. The trailer is titled The Battle Begins and shows off a lot of just how epic Bungie intends their final Halo game to be. Huge battle scenes, check. Space combat, check. Gorgeous shots of soldiers looking over ravaged cityscapes, that’s a check. Hit the jump for the full trailer.
Blacklight: Tango Down has arrived on the downloadable scene as the first attempt to offer a solid online shooter on consoles since Battlefield 1943 came out last year. Published by Ignition Entertainment and developed by Zombie Games, Blacklight: Tango Down is described by its creators as a mixture of Call of Duty and Blade Runner. That sure sounds interesting, but how does it actually play once the megabytes are downloaded and the start button is hit. Hit the jump for our full review.
You would expect this to be one of those usual PC gaming vs console gaming debates, but today’s debate is a little different, because I have a lot of moaning to do. You see, here’s my story in a nutshell. Starcraft 2 is one of the biggest games to be released this decade, and I would quite like to play it. A review copy is on its way to us, but I wanted to find out if my laptop was good enough to review it so that I could either a:) do that or b:) send it on to another reviewer with a better PC. It’s been a day since I first installed the full game with a trial code and after a lot of work and effort, I still haven’t been able to get it to work.
If we ever think about what goes on behind the scenes of developing a videogame very few of us envision anything more than an army of sun starved coders slaving away behind a mountain of Red Bull and Pizza. But while that may be a reality for parts of the game these things are so big now that there is a lot more to it, for example the soundtracks in games aren’t created by sun starved coders and in Red Dead Redemption in particular they seemed to have resurrected some honest to goodness cowboys to give it some authenticity.
It’s been a while since I read any comic books, or graphic novels if you prefer, so I don’t really know much about what is expected from one these days. However I am interested in the upcoming Kane & Lynch and the idea of releasing a comic book at the same time, while not entirely original, is a nice touch to help immerse yourself in their world. Take a look at the released artwork below…
I don’t know if it’s being done on purpose or not but the longer the local guys take to announce the Move pricing the better it will look. Everyone is still up in arms about the R1999 price tag that was slapped on the Kinect and the longer they think about it the more upset they get. So with that in mind lets look at the recently released British PS Move pricing.
If there is one thing that I can tell you today, it’s that you really, really have to watch the DC Universe Online cinematic trailer posted at the bottom of this post, it’s pretty damn epic.The week’s nearly done, and we have all been very busy so some serious game time is in order. Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were trying to fit back into our Superman outfits that we got in Kindergarten. News: Nintendo sales and earnings fall Stuff: 10 Games the Xbox 360 will never live down Videos: DC Universe Online cinematic is INCREDIBLE
These are just my favourite pieces of news, really. In this world of internets, and Twitters, Facebooks and YouTubes, the world has become a really connected place, where a lot of hype can be generated over a short span of time. Nintendo have announced to Bloomberg, that they will announce the release date and price of the Nintendo 3DS on September 29. Maybe they should have countrywide midnight announcements at the games stores, we can all gather in anticipation to hear news. What is interesting though is that announcement will not take place at the Tokyo Game Show. Source: VG247
If nothing else I hope this shows Epic that the fans out there are desperate for some more news around Gears of War 3. So desperate in fact that they have decided to create their own Gears of War 3 trailer shot entirely using a PC mod on top of Gears of War 1. If you are remotely interested in Gears you have to watch this and for those who don’t understand the charm of the Gears story then this may help you understand.
According to the latest official sales figures from Sony and Microsoft we can see that the PS3 was about to overtake the 360 in worldwide sales before the release of the new Xbox 360 redesign. A couple of week back Microsoft announced that it had shipped (sold) 41.7 million Xbox 360’s worldwide and now Sony has come out and stated that their worldwide sales (shipped) are 38.1… just 3.6 million behind the Xbox 360.
Suck at games? Vanquish might be the game for you. Vanquish, the stylish, frantic, and quite frankly, insane shooter from Platinum Games will be getting a new difficulty mode, known as “Casual Auto”. Like the developer’s last game, Bayonetta, Vanquish will still be fun for people who’re less adept with a controller.
If there’s one thing PS3 owners know, it’s that firmware updates – especially the mandatory ones – suck. Unless you do the smart thing and download the update to your PC, transfer the file to a USB drive and update from there, PS3 firmware updates take forever. The reason, you see, is that unlike the Xbox 360, Playstation firmware updates don’t just update or patch whatever needs to be patched – they replace the entire firmware – making even the most insignificant updates take far too long. That may thankfully be a thing of the past.
Mike Newell is the director of such things as Four weddings and a funeral, Love in the time of cholera, and Mona Lisa smile. He’s also the guy who directed the Jerry Bruckheimer produced Prince of Persia, starring the rather toned Jake Gyllenhaal. It’s ended up being a pretty decent popcorn flick, and one of the better videogame to film adaptations. He must have some sort of appreciation of videogames, right? Well, no. He can’t play games, thinks they’re stupid, and admitted that even talking about them "bores the arse" off him.
Did you catch the first episode of Modern War Gear Solid , the deliciously campy Modern Warfare meets Metal Gear Solid parody that rather opaquely pokes fun at certain large players in the videogame industry? I certainly hope so, because it was pretty darn good. The second episode is out – and it’s even better.The jokes are funnier, the combat scenes are particularly well choreographed, and out favourite CEO we love to hate, Bobby Kotick gets a mention. unfortunately the 3rd episode won’t be available for a while, but a collection of outtakes will be made available in the interim. Hit the jump for 7 and a half minutes of awesome.
