The PC has been largely free of the blight of the monetised morsels of gameplay that is Downloadable Content. Largely down to the lack of a standardised platform with which to distribute (and collect payment), ala. the current games consoles, nobody has really managed to get a firm grip on the masses who prefer to […]
I’m hoping the title is a misnomer, given Obsidian’s past form (which honestly gives Troika a run for their money!), you can’t blame me for being apprehensive. Regardless, Alpha Protocol is looking good – Bourne really rejigged the spy genre (hence why they copied the style for the Craig-powered Bond films) and this looks too […]
Games that wear both their pretensions and sense of humour on their sleeves are always welcome in my book and none does it more-so than Stalin vs. Martians (or: what really happened on the eastern front during the Second World War). To celebrate the games near-release, the developers have collaborated with Russian metal band ANJ […]
We already know Batman: Arkham Asylum is 99.9% likely to be fucking awesome. Despite being the debut game from Rocksteady studios, all footage released of the game so far has ticked almost every box on the ‘reasons why Batman is just so damn great’ list. Now we get some more substantial gameplay footage.
Kudos to RPS for this one. Disney have stepped into the arcade racer fight with Split/Second, a racing game that differentiates itself from the crowd by offering various methods of defeating your opponents by bringing the world down on them, literally. Knocking chunks off freeway overpasses, blowing out storm drains and dropping girders from cranes […]

Planet Fallout has an interview with Jeff Gardiner regarding the second DLC pack for the post-apocalyptic FPSRPG. The article mostly fills us in on details we knew already, but Bethesda’s senior producer does provide more detail about the arena fights on offer and points out that the player will be able to return to the […]
Gameindustry.biz carries the unfortunate news that Nintendo are too raise the trade price for the Wii in the UK to the order of £18-20 (from its current RRP of £179.99), despite the console making a profit from day one and selling more boxes than, well, boxes of boxes! The excuse? The collapsing value of the […]
In what could be considered a characteristically common move, Johnathan Ross has once again said something he probably shouldn’t have. The loud-mouthed chatshow host (and avid gamer) has frequently let slip potentially litigious banter through several Web 2.0 outlets. Whilst participating in a bit of post-BAFTA Twittering, the chatterbox star let slip something he ‘probably’ […]
Pretty much as it says on the tin here… WBIE have announced DLC for F.E.A.R. 2 on all platforms (well, all it was released on… because giving Wii owners F.E.A.R. 2 DLC would be stupid, wouldn’t it). Not really much to go on re: content or price, but it will be available in April and […]
