Diablo 3 on Playstation won’t be a simple port

May 8, 2013 at 11:15 am | 52 Comments

Diablo 3 is headed to PS3! Yay! It’s a port! I’d rather gnaw my fingers off! That’s the general attitude with games ported to any platform these days. Because most of them are terrible when they make the transition, losing some of their magic along the way. And that’s something that Diablo 3 wants to avoid when they hit Playstation devices eventually.

Take a walk on the wild side with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

April 25, 2013 at 11:15 am | 32 Comments

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon pretty much came out of nowhere, Cleverly announced on April Fools day, the neon-soaked homage to 80s sci-fi and action films was just too impossibly cool to be true. But it was. And it is. And here’s Blood Dragon’s creative director himself, Dean Evans, walking you through the game itself.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon may be the greatest action movie that will never exist

April 17, 2013 at 10:30 am | 33 Comments

I’ve got to be honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Far Cry 3 when it launched last year. Sure, it was decent and had some solid ideas, but playing as Jason BROdie, repeating certain actions over and over again led to me getting bored with the title. How I wish that Blood Dragon was the game that was released first. Because I am a child of the VHS era.

Call of Duty Championships – Day 3 results

April 8, 2013 at 5:10 am | 6 Comments

Two days of fierce fighting had led to this, the play-offs of the Call of Duty Championship. With $400 000 in prize money on the line to the winning team, as well as the bragging rights of best in the world, there was plenty of incentive to play like there was no tomorrow. Which is just what we got.

The Witcher 3 will have a trilogy of endings

March 27, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 6 Comments

Choices. They’re what define our gameplay experiences. You’re either good, or you play long enough to see yourself become the bad guy. Those choices can also impact on the ending of games in various colour-coded ways, and it looks like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is also going to have some endings based on decisions made during the course of the game.

The Iron Patriot is a star-spangled dream collectible

March 26, 2013 at 5:00 pm | 19 Comments

In case you haven’t heard yet, there’s a certain rad-looking film on the way by the name of Iron Man 3. It cost about as much to make as what we received in kickbacks for that positive Bioshock: Infinite review, and stars pretty people. But enough about them, because like any other high budget film, it also has…toys!

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is ah dammit I ran out of space already with my opening blurb. Believe it!

Sniper Elite 3 has 2014 in the crosshairs

March 15, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 11 Comments

Sniper Elite V2 may not have been everyone’s cup of tea last year, but hot damn, it was still pretty satisfying for those that got into it. It was all about squeezing that trigger and letting loose a full metal jacket of organ-splattering gore, captured perfectly in the game engine. And for the third game in the series, I hope that Rebellion and 505 Games find a way to make that feature even more satisfying.

Connor has the wings of an eagle in the next Assassin’s Creed 3 DLC

March 14, 2013 at 2:00 pm | 3 Comments

I liked the first bit of DLC for Assassin’s Creed 3. But that’s just what it was. A bit. Too short, and with little to do after the brief campaign ended, it felt more like a tease than anything else. It’s only part one of three though, and hopefully, part deux can pick up the pace.

Star Wars: First Assault is a Battlefront 3 test, may not be released ever

March 12, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 11 Comments

I’m pretty sad as a Star Wars fan right now, thanks to the fact that the sublime Clone Wars series is at an end, while Star Wars 1313 happens to be frozen in Carbonite development hell right now. But it seems that all is not lost. For there is another…game out there. And it looks like the force is strong with it.

Mass Effect 3 celebrates a year of multiplayer

March 11, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 17 Comments

TAAAAAAALI! Ahem. Can you believe that it’s been a year since Mass Effect 3 launched? Since then, the game has done pretty darn well, minus the colour-coded ending controversy that is. That’s a year of multiplayer operations and teamwork, summed up in one number-heavy infographic.

Lost Planet 3 arrives June 28 (Screenshots galore inside!)

March 6, 2013 at 5:00 pm | 20 Comments

The year is unknown. But it is futurey. Humanity has taken to the stars, discovering new planets, worlds that were formerly “lost”. Between fighting one another and surviving hostile environments, a new threat has emerged. One with more than two legs, and proving to be far better than Orson Welles could ever have predicted. I’m talking bugs man! Do you want to know more?

Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC gives the crew some shore leave

March 5, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 15 Comments

It’s been a year since Mass Effect 3 launched, and despite a rocky ending controversy, it’s been a damn good ride. A constant stream of DLC, multiplayer events and cupcakes have kept the Normandy crew in deep space for a while now, but even they need shore leave. But not the kind that consists of dodgy ladies waiting at the pier and Space-TDs. Citadel does just that, as the final DLC is packed with content to give the Normandy crew a grand finale. Here’s the trailer for that upcoming slice of gameplay.

A brief History of Tomb Raider

March 4, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 23 Comments

Can you believe that it’s been 17 years since Lara Croft first bounced onto our screens, with her trademark pistols and her disregard for ancient burial sites. It’s been a long journey for the adventurous lass, as she’s braved everything from unstable tombs to death itself, all in the pursuit of truth and knowledge. To celebrate the release of the latest Tomb Raider game, we’re taking a walk down memory lane, as we look back at almost two decades worth of Crofty games.

This is probably an image from Just Cause 3

February 28, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 7 Comments

Everyone has a game in their library, that despite never being a massive success, they still loved. For Yolanda, that game is any new release of a farming simulation. For Geoff, it’s Amazing Spider-Man. For me? Just Cause 2, one of the cheesiest examples of a baysplosion, ever committed to a digital format. The second game came out in the dark age of 2010, and allowed players to attach a soldier to a speeding jet and then jump out of it while high above the planet. It was brilliant. And it looks like rumours of a third game were true. I think.
