Computers N StuffGameinfowire.com are carrying the story that The Lord of the Rings: Battlefront Conquest has been released for the Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo DS & PC. Developed by Pandemic Studios (they of SW: Battlefront & Mercenaries fame), the game transplants the Battlefront gameplay into the high fantasy universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien and features […]
After a bit of whinging from their respective communities (not without warrant mind you), two of the biggest games of the last few months get some patch news worth talking about. First up, Blues News are carrying news of an announcement on the Bethesda Forum that the first proper patch for Fallout 3 (cunningly carrying […]
I tend to avoid MMOs like the plague, but it’s hard to miss the hoo-hah surrounding Age of Conan. It was heralded for its entire development as being the first MMO to be built for DirectX 10, packed full of hardcore adult content including nudity, violence and mature themes, coupled with a combat system more […]

You know there’s something not quite right with an industry when a product can sell (not just ship, mind you) 1.5 million individual copies across 6 major platforms and it’s performance is deemed ‘unsatisfactory’… Unfortunately, such a fate has befallen the latest Tomb Raider game, Underworld. Despite receiving above average reviews (in spite of some […]
Strategy Informer have posted an interview with Relic’s Jonny Ebbert, lead designer on Dawn of War II. Whilst mostly just covering the same groundwork about the game that others have before (The move from base-building to a more squad-focused game, Tyranids etc.), there are two interesting quotes that stand out from the rest. Read the […]
Following the big Christmas reveal (which was so big we missed it) of the Delorean-esque 88-Special, Criterion have unveiled the remaing thee cars from the upcoming Legendary Cars DLC pack in their latest CrashTV Podcast. Accompanying the 88-Special are the Manhattan Spirit (Ecto-1), the Carson Nighthawk (KITT) and the Cavalry Bootlegger (General Lee), each of […]
In light of the continued absence of a sequel to one of Monolith Productions first games – Shogo M.A.D. – it seems we will all just have too make do with the upcoming sequel to the 2005 hit F.E.A.R. The new trailer released at CES focuses on the EPA (which presumably means ‘Enhanced Power Armour’ […]
Prototype went quiet after a few well-publicised slips and poorly received demos. Obviously, not content to release a half-arsed effort, Radical have beavered away to improve the game significantly and the demo vids after the cut certainly show a more refined game. Hopefully, as it approaches release, we’ll see something a bit more structured than […]
Meta-publisher SEGA have released their early-2009 release schedule, including choice morsels such as definitive March release dates for Madworld & Empire: Total War (but we knew that anyway), over-confident Q1 releases for Alpha Protocol & the feared-dead Aliens: Colonial Marines and possibly-2009-but-we’re-not-really-sure releases for Xbox/PS3 DMC-esque Bayonetta.
