Thanks to the guys at Microsoft and Nu Metro, we’ve got a handful of tickets to see Star Wars (Yay!) Episode 1 (Ugh!) in 3D. It may have been disavowed by Star Wars fans, but there’s no denying that the Phantom Menace did include some of the slickest lightsaber battles committed to celluloid, even though those were probably digitally filmed. Those’d be ... [»]
In honour of "Safer Internet Day" (whatever the heck that is) Xbox Live’s general manager Alex Garden took to Major Nelson’s blog to make a statement about Xbox Live and its recent security woes. He says users need to be mindful of the information they give out on the internet - but curiously doesn’t actually mention the problem, defending the service’s security measure."Last year, there was a surge of personal information being ...

Earlier this week, a developer for Volition ranted about how the rumoured pre-played games lock in the next generation Xbox was a fantastic idea. It’s not. CD Projekt, the guys behind The Witcher have once again spoken sense, saying it "can be ... [»]
Apparently this is old news but it’s only just managed to bore it’s way into my safe place now and it’s a horrifying thought indeed.
Apparently in the upcoming Star Wars Kinect title there is a mini game where you can take a break from fighting the empire to challenge Darth Vader ... [»]
I’m a little obsessed with the Skylanders franchise and I think that may be because I have 2 small children who love them and the fact that it’s the first real videogame / toy crossover that I’ve ever seen that I feel should work. I’ve chatted to the ... [»]
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 ...

Rumour and speculation say that the next Xbox will feature some sort of system to lock new games to a single account - effectively shutting the doors on pre-owned game sales. It’s a rumour that’s easy to believe, because publishers are already trying to curb 2nd hand game sales through the use of online passes. At least one developer thinks it’s a wonderful idea, saying that gamers don’t understand how much the pre-owned market hurts developers. ... [»]
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 ... [»]
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? ... [»]
Grand Theft Auto is easily the biggest sandbox game on the planet and is going to be the biggest release of 2012 when GTAV does release. Which hasn’t been announced by the way but we all know it’s coming this year. But in all truth I am far ... [»]
Soul Calibur V got released last week - and it’s pretty damned good. It might have a laughable story, filled with the sort of stalwart clichés that permeate the genre - but you don’t buy fighting games for story. No, you buy them for the fighting - and there’s no better way to play a fighting game than with a good arcade fight stick. But you already know that.
What you ... [»]
Last year at E3, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick was convinced that The Xbox 360 would become the number one selling console globally. It looks like he was right.For the first time since competition launched in 2006, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is indeed the world’s top selling console last year. According to GeekWire.com, who arduously collected data from each company’s public earnings reports, Microsoft sold more Xbox 360 consoles than ... [»]
We’ve done a little coverage of the upcoming weird fighting game Skullgirls and now the developer has released a video explaining the story behind the fighting.
It’s not very logical and isn’t really required but I guess it does try help us understand why a girl/woman is running around without a head ... [»]
StepTo, known as Stephen Toulouse to his mum is a name many Xbox Live users - especially those who’ve erred on the side of douchebaggery - should be well acquainted. As Microsoft Live’s head of online law enforcement, StepTo was responsible for wielding - and swinging the service’s digital banhammer - making Xbox Live a nicer place than it could have been.
It’s ... [»]
