M0th3r = Exp3ct1ng – F.3.A.R. 4nn0unc3d 4 PS3, PC n Xb0x

Don’t worry…  It’s actually officially F.E.A.R. 3…  F.3.A.R. is just on the box art. Still, when will ‘marketing’ learn that putting txtsp34k in our titles doesn’t make the game more ‘hip’ or ‘cool’…  It just makes the people who made the decision look like fucking tools! Anyway, F.E.A.R. 3 has been announced for Xbox 360, […]

Pink Robots – War for Cybertron Multiplayer Footage/Release Date

Well it seems the multi-player component of Transformers: War for Cybertron is doing what we really want of the game – allowing us to make our own shooty robots that specialise in shooting other shooty robots. Purists may scoff at the classes being generic ‘Scientist’, ‘Leader’ and ‘Scout’ rather than stuff like ‘Seeker’, ‘The One […]

Now it seems that Activision have culled all respect and/or skill from Call of Duty development, it’s down to EA to give us innovative Modern Warfare titles…  How ironic. A new Medal of Honor trailer, entitled ‘Tier One’ (after the cut) shows us most of what we know, in no particular order: Guns Combat Beards […]

Using ‘3’ in the title was always a silly idea… after all, it was a prequel ffs!  Whatever next, Th4if? Anyway, some marketing bod has obviously come to his/her senses, since GDC 2010 sees a bullshot teaser for the newly christened ‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ released into the wild by Squeidosnix or whatever we’re supposed […]
