Computers N StuffFable 2 has been sliced into pieces for release over Xbox Live and the first is available for free! Barry really liked the game back when he reviewed it last year, so people who haven’t touched it yet have no excuse not to dip in and try it now. According to Major Nelson, the episode […]
Dawn of War 2 seems to be getting all the loving lately – the initial release wasn’t overly hot, what with the awkward campaign and Games for Windows: Live bollocks, but several patches down the line and things are much improved. The recent ‘There is only War’ update dramatically rebalanced the game, the imminent Last […]
Valve have finally released Louis, Francis, Bill and Zoey back into the wild in a new official campaign for Left 4 Dead. Set between (fan favourite) No Mercy & Death Toll, Crash Course attempts to copy L4D2’s practice of linking the narrative of the campaigns by explaining how the duo trio erm, four survivors end […]
Just like the humble adventure game, dungeon crawlers are seeing a bit of a resurgence of late – obviously there’s Diablo 3 on the horizon, which like all things Blizzard is set to swallow any indie bystanders in its all-consuming wake of fan-gush, but set to arrive ‘before it’s done’ are both a sequel to […]
The first of the Q1 2010 games (you know, those that chickened out from facing Modern Warfare 2) has reared its head and it is… BioShock 2! 2K have released word, via the means of a press release (available after the cut) which reveals that the underwater sequel will be landing around the globe, simultaneously […]
Obviously not content with HMV snapping the UK rights to the mega-expensive Sex-pest Edition of Modern Warfare 2, GAME have lept in there to attempt to re-assert themselves as numero-uno in the high-street Modern Warfare 2 Special Edition war. Called the Veteran package, it comes with the same ‘Hardened Edition’ as the Prestige Edition (meaning […]
If I was making a computer game, I’d do my best to cram as many absurd quotes from ‘The Tick’ in as possible… As I’m relegated to just playing the games and writing blog posts about them, I’ll simple state that ‘Gravity is a harsh mistress‘ and post some interview/gameplay (here-in referred too as interplay! […]
It’s hard to believe it’s taken SEGA this long to realise that Sonic just DOESN’T WORK IN THREE DIMENSIONS. Seriously, even when you funnel the path by using linear levels and on-rails portions (like Sonic Heroes and Sonic and the Black Knight tried), the obscene speeds, 3 dimensions of movement and the persistently inadequate camera […]
Never before has a post title so essentially decided the tags I attach too it! PAX 2009 has just finished and, swine-flu not-withstanding, it was a success. There’s a metric ass-load of trailers after the cut, some of which require you to prove that you were born on January 1st, 1900… You have been forewarned!
Despite what everyone’s opinions on the ‘early arrival’ of the sequel for Left 4 Dead, it doesn’t change the fact that Valve are at least trying to make the game different, what with the proper melee weapons (with added violence), new and more radical special infected (mainly designed around weeding out the exploits of the […]
