Kingdoms of Amalur was "significantly easier" to develop on the Xbox 360

 - February 9th, 2012
With the 2012 gaming season now finally under way, we’ve seen a few big releases already in the shape of Soul Calibur V and the latest Final Fantasy. Things kick off in grand fashion tomorrow however, with not one, but two big debuts, in the form of the gory shoot ‘em up sequel, The Darkness 2, and the fantasy genre introduction of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It’s ... [»]

Check at the Mountain, Bru – SSX goes to the Himalayas

 - February 9th, 2012
They might not be flat and straddled on its sides by Devil’s Peak and the Lion’s Head - but the Himalayas are a kick-ass range of mountains, perfect for doing completely insane things on a Snowboard. This latest trailer for SSX shows people doing just that. It’s the biggest game in the series, so it makes sense to include the worlds most famous mountains. Well, at ... [»]

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 ... [»]

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 ... [»]

EA’s raised the bar with online passes for SSX

 - January 31st, 2012
EA were the leaders in the creation of the online pass phenomenon and have now found a way to improve the entire idea that will not only bring in more money for them but will likely quieten down a lot of the complaints about the online pass system. ... [»]

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer trailer shows off the Special Forces

 - January 30th, 2012
The third title in the race for galactic survival is just around the corner, and while Mass Effect fans are looking forward to finishing the fight with the Reapers (And I’ll be looking forward to seeing Tali again), another key hook for the game has to be the inclusion of multiplayer. While the idea of omni-tooling a friend in the back sounds quite satisfying actually, working together and engaging hordes of ... [»]

Yes, Kingdoms of Amalur has an Online Pass

 - January 30th, 2012
Of course it does. It’s published by EA - the people who’ll put online passes on everything, even single player games. EA, the progenitors of the maligned Project 10 Dollar - a way of incentivising new purchases over second hand - usually uses the code included with every new copy of a game to open the gates to multiplayer gaming. Makes little ... [»]


Did you think Origin was going away? Never…

Mass Effect 3 to be more welcoming to new players

 - January 24th, 2012
Woah there…before you start raising your pitchforks and plan on storming Bioware’s castle - they don’t mean they’re dumbing the game down to make it more accessible (Although that’s pretty much what the did with Mass Effect 2). They just mean that players new to the series had no idea what in the hell was going on  ... [»]

Syndicate developer Starbreeze isn’t worried about any competition in the FPS genre

 - January 23rd, 2012
Next month sees the release of Syndicate, a brand new take on the classic Bullfrog Squad and Tactics title of the same name. Shifting gears from its strategic roots to a more action FPS title, long-time fans have expressed disappointment over this genre move, but honestly, the latest Syndicate still looks an incredibly fun game that hasn’t completely forgotten its roots.

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.

Have EA and Steam made up?
