PSA: About our WeChat PlayStation 3 draw!

May 24, 2013 at 1:45 pm | 58 Comments

Yes, we’re still giving away a PlayStation 3 – don’t worry. We’ve actually already done the draw – and have notified the winner via WeChat. We’re just waiting for confirmation that the winner is from South Africa before we make an announcement. If we don’t receive a response within the next 5 days – or the winner happens to reside outside of South Africa (people don’t like to read Terms and Conditions) we will do a redraw – so don’t be too sad if you’ve not received a message.

Are PC gamers set to get shafted?

May 23, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 32 Comments

The next console generation is nearly here, and it’s good news for PC gamers, right? Next gen consoles from both Sony and Microsoft feature very similar, very PC-like architecture – meaning that the PC ports of next-gen games shouldn’t be dumbed-down console ports. Only that doesn’t seem to be happening – at least when it comes to EA sports titles.

Dead Island Riptide – Swing for the Head!

May 23, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 14 Comments

There's an unwritten rule when reviewing anything. It's the ol' “never compare apples with oranges” yarn. You've probably heard it a few times. There are even some commentators that are so adamant, that even the slightest transgression, results in eternal excommunication. I'm exaggerating – of course - but sometimes on those rare occasions when it's nearly impossible to find a coherent opening paragraph, you just have to slide the dunce cap onto your noggin, and plough into it, at full-speed on the“full-retard” setting.

Activision admits that the “new” COD engine isn’t exactly new

May 23, 2013 at 10:30 am | 35 Comments

Man, the new Call of Duty, Ghosts certainly looks impressive! Of course, that’s the sort of visual fidelity afforded by brand new, next generation engines. Only it’s not a new engine at all. In an interview with OPM, Infinity Ward’s animation lead Zach Volker admitted that while the engine is functionally new, it’s still based on the previous engine. Which was based on a previous engine. Which was based on idTech 3, the Quake 3 engine.

Everybody’s all excited about the imminent next-generation Xbox reveal – but this generation’s not done yet! Remember, we’re giving away a 500Gb PlayStation 3 to one lucky reader thanks to the lovely people from WeChat, to experience (nearly) all the wonders we’ve experienced this generation.

The PS3 is only 50 034 units behind the Xbox 360

May 21, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 19 Comments

The Xbox 360 got off to a flying start in this generation with the PlayStation 3 preferring to stay at home perfecting its make up before leaving for the race. By year 3 the Xbox 360 was miles ahead of the PS3 and unbelievably it decided to take a nap.

Hands on preview with Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

May 21, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 7 Comments

Many things can be said about the previous title in the Call of Juarez series, unfortunately since this is a respectful site not many of them can be reproduced here. So when a preview disc for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger landed on my desk I can’t say I was ecstatic about the opportunity.  how wrong I was.
