Kinect, says Ghost Recon developer, is like a “inflatable doll”

 - January 27th, 2012
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s IP director Adrian Lacey has likened Kinect’s motion controls to expensive, opened-mouthed inflatable sex toys. Wait, what?Responding to Spong’s question about about the possibility of Kinect replacing traditional controls,  he responded with a headline-grabbing “That’s like asking whether an inflatable doll replaces a woman.” Interesting analogy- and it’s spot on - neither are ...

Here’s what you’ll need to run Mass Effect 3 on PC

 - January 19th, 2012
Mass Effect 3’s coming to PC soon - and though it’ll be locked to EA’s Origin service, that’s hardly going to cause boycott, right? It is Mass Effect 3, after all. If you’re getting it for PC (and half of you moaning about Origin will likely end up getting it anyway) here’s the sort of hardware you’ll need to experience the end ... [»]

Mass Effect 3’s Shepard to be “deeper”

 - January 16th, 2012
Though news that Mass Effect 3 for the PC would be tethered to Origin might have put you off, but if you play the game for its role playing, you might be drawn back in by the fact that this time around, Shepard is going to be a much deeper character.“One of the things we wanted to do in Mass Effect 3,” said lead Mass Effect writer Mac Walters “was deepen Shepard as a character, ...

Want to save $100 on Kinect for Windows?

You may have heard that Microsoft announced the Kinect for Windows at CES this year which is great all round until the price was announced. For some absurd reason they’ve decided to sell it at $250 on the PC which is a $100 increase over the same device for the Xbox ... [»]

The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best Driving Game

 - December 20th, 2011
Racing games, as far as I’m concerned are all the same - basically slightly interactive screen-savers - where steering left or right allows you to see different sections of the track. Or wall, as is usually the case with me. Were it up to me, Mario Kart 7 would take this category without the slightest hint of competition - but we do this thing by ... [»]

Anyone up for a game of Skyrim Kinect?

You've got to hand it to the PC community, there are some real geniuses lurking behind the monitors, with their attention focused purely on gaming.

A bluetooth headset, ... [»]

Sony aiming the PS3 at families next year

 - December 6th, 2011
The PlayStation 3 is a core games machine for core gamers. At least it is right now. Though it has its fair share of family oriented games, it’s managed to shirk off being labelled as a kiddies machine. That may change next year, as it seems Sony plans to focus on families and younger gamers in 2012."You will probably see us taking the console more towards a slightly younger demographic - ... [»]

Rabbids Alive & Kicking Review – Kill The Waaaaabbit

Dance games are the new Guitar Hero

 - November 30th, 2011
Guitar Hero  is essentially dead. People, for some reason, got really tired of plastic instrument-based music rhythm games and sales of the games and their associated peripherals dwindled down to pretty much nothing. Even the rather superb Rock Band 3 sold less than 5000 copies on all formats at launch. Maybe it’s because of all the instruments, because peripheral-free Dance and fitness Games have proven that people still want music based ... [»]

Microsoft wants to bolster its exclusives library

 - November 25th, 2011
There’s no denying that when it comes to AAA exclusives, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is falling behind the pack. Sony’s PlayStation 3 has a wealth of exclusives - games like Killzone, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, God of War (and the list goes on). Nintendo has all that first-part goodness; Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong (and that list goes on and on too) while the 360 really only has ... [»]

Family Game Night 4: The Game Show review – Bored Games

This is the fourth offering in Hasbro’s Family Game Night series. Turns out it is based on an actual game show, but having never seen or heard of this game show, it’s hard to make comparisons. In this digital version, there is a red team and a yellow team, and you can play either with the controller or using a Kinect.
