Pyrdoken!

Rather unsurprisingly the recent Portal 2 trailer has caused much excitement among the gaming community, of course the new gaming elements have much to do with it but it would be remiss of me to say that it didnt have anything to do with the featured personality core, the bumbling, british personality core Wheatley. Recently there  has been division about [...]

Of course, the real issue is what exactly is ‘hardcore’? Certainly not Wii sports or Peggle but what about Halo or Modern Warfare? Them being extremely popular. Popular obviously doesn’t mean casual but it does seem to get the same flack. Where do we draw the line exactly? Is it about pace? Because World of [...]

These piece of art are by Patrick Warren from http://dangerpat.blogspot.com and http://www.patrickwarrenart.com/ That Lady Gaga does get around. I have no idea who the third guy is though.

Well it’s got a lot to live up to but at least it certainly looks the part at least. Here are a few screenshots.

Wow… Just wow. This looks incredible and also really, really hard. Sure that’s Dio played on Pro Mode Expert but still, surely completing this song is only possible if you know how to play the song in the first place. The idea that you’ll end up playing what is pretty much the actual song on [...]

Fallout Online is now accepting beta testers for their upcoming release. Interplace, the original creator of the Fallout series have suffered due to an ongoing legal battle with current Fallout developer Bethesda. The website also shows a few stills for the upcoming game, without giving too much away. To sign up for the beta test, [...]

Well, well, well. This actually doesn’t look bad. I can see harry potter wanting to move in this direction… it’s still rather simple and arm flingy. We’ll see next generation, we’ll see.

Watch out for the SHAKY CAM and due to the sheer gore I expect this isn’t safe for work… once upon a time games would of got in a lot of trouble for this. In these morden days I doubt anyone bats an eyelid, oh how times change. Compare to he Mortal Kombat vs DC fatalities.

You’ve got to love the Valve way of doing things. Find some developers with a unique idea, hire them then implement their ideas into your games. Genius and terribly honest as well. Portal 2 is looking fantastic, which doesn’t come as a surprise… take a look for yourself.

Expect South Korea kids to be on the news every single night when the wave of deaths occur from gamers starving and depriving themselves after the release of Starcraft II this summer (July 27 in the US). The hype is starting to build about the game and I know from playing the beta it is [...]

If  you recognise the picture above then good for you, if you didn’t then that’s fine too. The picture it’s from an old game that goes by the name of UFO : Enemy Unknown although for some reason it would later be called XCOM : Enemy Unknown. Let’s get this said; UFO and its sequel were brilliant [...]

This time with game-play. With Final Fantasy going in a strange new direction in the name of innovation it’s nice to see a JRPG with a more tradiional flavour. Yay, we missed you.

The latest installment of the Alien Breed series, Alien Breed: Impact, arrived on Steam yesterday. Alien Breed: Impact offers 5 new massive levels open for exploration and mass xenocide. The main feature that I like is the co-op mode for 2 players to hook up through Steam and unleash carnage together! If you’re new to [...]

With so many MMOs coming out the woodwork it’s getting harder and harder to stand-out from the rest not to mention getting a slice or the elusive World of Warcraft pie. Still, the DC universe is a very well known one especially to non gamers. Does it have what it takes? Time will tell I suppose, in the meantime [...]

Always nice to know they’re still vigilante. Half-Life 2 -Fixed crash due to long hud hint messages, seen when playing in French -Fixed Lambda logo at end of credits being cut off (Mac) -Added pre-caching of GLSL shaders on game launch to prevent hitching in game (Mac) -Performance improvements when using anti-aliasing on ATI GPU’s Half-Life [...]

The Editor for StarCraft 2 never ceases to amaze me, for me the most exciting thing about the release of the game will be waiting a few months then sifting threw all the mods to find the gems and mark my words there will be gems. Already I’ve seen some very impressive things take this [...]
