World of Warcraft, the world biggest MMO for the PC is currently celebrating its fifth birthday at this year’s BlizCon. I got all nostalgic and as such I decided to go back to where it all began, way back in 1994 with Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. This is game looks a lot like the current [...]
Halo: ODST is not due out for another four weeks for the XBOX 360, yet a slip up by a French retailer (probably a new staff member or something who got mixed up) has lead to Halo: ODST being sold to a member of the public. The gamer then went home (most likely ecstatic and [...]
Since Sony and Nintendo had their little school-yard fight when the Wii came out over the whole motion-gaming concept, not much has really taken place on Sony’s front. At the most we’ve heard some squeaks and rumours about their ‘wands’ that will allow motion gaming. Now, really the first time in aeons bosses are starting to [...]
Yesterday here on WireNinja we reported that by October 30th Microsoft would be lowering the price of their XBOX 360 console. However, there are some savvy gamers out there who may fancy getting an Xbox for even cheaper than that. EBay here they come. So when you buy an Xbox on EBay you’re expecting a [...]
GTA: Chinatown Wars has been a success – to a certain extent. It didn’t do as well as hoped but it’s making money for the DS. Now, RockStar have announced via twitter that they are porting the game over to the PSP for all the Sony fans. The game is due to be launched on [...]
Frogster are rapidly becoming a big name in the MMO world. They are well known for their massively successful free-to-play MMORPG Runes of Magic. Now, they have secured the rights to publish a came called RuneWalker. It would be utterly pointless in us speculating on in-game specifics as it won’t be available to you or [...]
Everyone remembers when the PS3 came out onto the market. It flung fuel over the fire that is the now the age-old PS3 or XBOX 360 debate. By now, most of us have made our choice. It’s either the PS3 for performance and graphics or the XBOX for the online community and entertainment. However, now [...]
Drakes Uncharted Fortune was one of my favourite games. It was like being in a movie! Every cliff you climbed, every bullet you fired, every cut scene you analysed was like Indiana Jones meets Resident Evil meets Tomb Raider – the result? Pure heaven for me. Now they’re talking about the second one. Basically you’re [...]
There are to be quite a few top notch actors doing the voice overs for the upcoming game Modern Warfare 2. The first game was renowned for the quality and realness of the voice over (although the British accent was a little forced and stereotypical). Now, there will be an all star cast for the [...]
Blizzard have just announced that they will launch a new official WoW magazine at a time when the publishing industry is flinching and crumbling because advertisers are tightening their purse strings. They say there is a market for it and that the magazine will be a success – even a collector’s item. It will be [...]
I’m a big PC gamer. But I’m also a really big 360 fan (sorry Sony, I have very little room for your PS3 in my life). And for like three years I played games on my laptop or desktop either using the keyboard or a crappy USB controller I got in GameStop for a few [...]
GTA IV is a great game. Good graphics, compelling plot, great characters, funny, sad, interesting – with awesome game play and weapons. But, despite my love for the game there are a few things that really bug me about it. Here are my Top Five Pet Hates about GTA IV. 1. You’re always the hero. [...]
Okay, so Sony have just announced their new PS3 Slim in Germany. Big news I guess. It’s a tech philosophy that has been around for years; make it smaller, cuter and much more prone to over-heating and they’ll fly off the shelves. But I’m not too sure about this one. I mean, the PS3 already [...]
Sony has just filed a patent for a device that will detect the emotion of a user. It is believed the device may be for the PS3. Basically, it’s a camera and a microphone that can detect your facial movements and can pick up sounds such as laughter and yawning. It can also pick up [...]
Battlefield 1943 is a downloadable game for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. It costs roughly $15 or the equivilant in Microsoft Points and its well worth it. You fight on either side (Japanese Imperial Navy ground forces or the US Marines). Firstly, the maps. There are four of them including Iwo Jima, Wake Island [...]
In 2001 when the US government announced that it would be releasing a video game to boost recruitment into the US Army everyone went berserk. And back then it was an okay game. The graphics were good, the game play was very inviting indeed and the weapons were something to die for (excuse the pun). [...]
