Nobody wants Psychonauts 2

 - February 7th, 2012
I don’t know if you played Psychonauts, the platformer from Tim Schafer’s Double Fine - but you should have. Though it’s admittedly a little overrated (especially when seen through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses), it’s a wonderful, deliciously funny and story-laden puzzle platformer. People have been begging Tim Schaefer for a ... [»]

Spider-man developer Beenox has revealed the new Web Rush mechanic for the Amazing Spider-Man game - and it’s starting to sound like this game could rise to the heights set by Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man; very probably the best games to feature the web-slinging hero."We introduce an all-new gameplay mechanic called the Web Rush, which gives players real-time navigational ...

Medal of Honor is coming back.. yeah I’m not excited either

 - February 7th, 2012
Medal of Honor has been EA’s attempt to wrestle the FPS market from Call of Duty since the beginning of time. The series is good and the sales have been pretty solid but it’s blatantly obvious which franchise won in the end and I was hoping that would ... [»]

Mass Effect 3 to strike a balance between RPG and shooter

 - February 7th, 2012
For Some, the first Mass Effect had just too much RPG, while others loved tinkering with stats, long inventories, armour and weapon upgrades. Mass Effect 2 was different; it was more of a shooter, eschewing much of the fiddly RPG mechanics in favour of pure action. That, understandably, upset fans of the first, while making a bunch of new ones. So how does Bioware keep everybody happy with the third game? ... [»]

Wait? There’s a sequel to Cannon Fodder?

 - February 3rd, 2012
If you played games in the 90’s, you’ll undoubtedly remember Cannon Fodder, the satirical, darkly humourous squad-based war game from the guys who made Sensible Soccer. It was way, way too much fun - hell, its tag-line was even ""War has never been so much fun." It was originally released in 1993 for just about every system available then, with a sequel released in 1994. And that was it. The series has been dead since. ... [»]

The Sims 3 Master Suite Stuff review – Get Stuff(ed)

 - February 2nd, 2012
In the world of The Sims, a ‘stuff pack’ is really what the name says: like an expansion pack, but it only includes new items (i.e. stuff). There is no new gameplay, unless it’s directly related to a new item. So, naturally, this is a bit of a money-making scheme for EA, as you can buy a Sims 3 expansion pack, complete with new items AND new gameplay, for around R250, while a stuff pack will set you back ...

Mass Effect 3’s voice cast is pretty amazing

 - February 1st, 2012
Bioware’s gone and released the full voice cast for Mass Effect 3, their up-coming, highly anticipated shooty RPG and it’s a pretty amazing cast, filled with Hollywood talent - though admittedly a tad familiar. There’s a lot of role reprisal, but that’s not a bad thing - especially with Yvonne Strahovski bringing Miranda to life again. Also, more David Keith is always a good thing.Here’s the cast :Mark Meer - Male Shepherd Jennifer Hale - Female ... [»]
