So, two months in and I’ve already forgotten to keep up to date with the Reward Scheme! I’ve just signed in again to complete my June survey, so another 20MSP should be on its way to my account. If I had checked in June, I would be sitting on 80MSP in a few days – … Continue reading »
At this years E3 there were plenty of chances to get a more hands on impression of the first installment to Resi franchise on the 3DS, below are the three gameplay clips released and played back to back, enjoy!
Amongst all the announcements and teasers at E3 this year, I must admit that I completely missed the latest teaser trailer for what appears to be a Devil May Cry reboot. Having been a huge fan of the series up till the last installment, it would be good to see this franchise get a fresh … Continue reading »
Browsing around the swamps of user-generated Minecraft its hard to find a good one sometimes, so I thought I would share this time-lapse video with you all. Hopefully when it hits Xbox 360 later this year there will be plenty more projects like this for every one to enjoy.
Not fortunate enough to live in the 10ft x 10ft clear box that is required to play Kinect, neither are we, so Nyko have come up with a little lens adapter that should allow mere mortals to experience what Kinect has to offer without bringing in the furniture removers.
In what is turning out to be a cyber game of cat and mouse, surely all developers, publishers and platform developers are now seriously rethinking their existing network security policies and devices.
Pure, simple, fun. For a game that has taken 15 years, multiple court hearings and four developers to complete, Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) is a glorious throwback to classic 1990′s first person shooters, and as stated by the Duke himself, “forever takes a long time” but thankfully not much has changed.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been arguably the most hotly anticipated game at this year’s E3 show in Los Angeles, and exactly as expected, long-standing franchise developers Infinity Ward and newcomers Sledgehammer Games were keen to show off all the action and carnage in what’s expected to be the final title in the series’ … Continue reading »

The … Continue reading »
Like a London bus, you wait and wait and then two come along at once. 3DS early adopters have been missing not only new games but also some basic functionality since the launch of the console earlier this year.

Where have all the words gone in this world? It’s a sorry sight when a title to an article only contains one word; and that word isn’t even a real one… Luckily, what the above nonsense does signify, is a return to the skies for Fox McCloud. Check out the trailer and that catch my … Continue reading »
DICE have unveiled the first piece of public footage of multiplayer in Battlefield 3. Entitled “Operation Metro”, we are treated to all of 30 seconds of very exciting gameplay, in the same manner as the teasers earlier this year.
The much rumoured Wii 2/Project Cafe has finally been unveiled and whilst the console itself looks much like a white Xbox 360, the infamous screen controller has been revealed. That’s right, it’s a sodding £200 Etch A Sketch with dual analogue sticks and a couple of buttons. I mean really….. even the Photoshop monkeys would not have dreamt to … Continue reading »
Square Enix have released another trailer for next year’s Final Fantasy XII-2, the sequel to a game I grew to love. I’m excited at the possibility of continuing in the vein of the latter part of the first game. At worst, the upgrades to the battle system look exciting and the presentation overall seems better … Continue reading »
It’s finally here, our thoughts and feelings on the recently released Brink from SplashDamage.
The multi-million selling hit, that still hasn’t been released, is now making it’s way on to the Xbox 360 and will feature Kinect support. Although FortressCraft has been doing well on the indie marketplace, I can imagine that this will sell very well. I’m not sure how the controls will work out, but Notch had … Continue reading »
A game that pretty much all of us are waiting for. All of us are new converts to the series, being impressed by the open aspect of Battlefield: Bad Company 2‘s multiplayer. Personally I’m not particularly bothered by these type of games, but BF:BC2 replaced Street Fighter IV as my online game of choice. For … Continue reading »
Sony’s biggest announcement, and the most exciting announcement of E3 so far is the official unveiling of Sony’s Playstation VITA, a handheld successor to the PSP, and formally known as the Next Generation Portable. Despite the terrible impact of the recent earthquakes in Japan, Sony insist that the PSV will be ready for launch in … Continue reading »
Still playing a video game console? Pfft. That was so last decade. Things have moved on since then. If you take just one thing away from Microsoft’s announcements at this year’s E3, it’s that they want you to be doing a lot more with your “video games console” than just playing games. Some of us … Continue reading »

YouTube for Xbox, Bing Live Search, UFC live fights and back catalogues, additional live TV services, … Continue reading »
Crumbs! The App store launched these 2 little gems yesterday. Firstly a port of the 1992 side-scroller X-Men, the arcade and then, the slightly more contemporary addition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Now I haven’t tested either of these first hand but from the looks of it, they’ll both be great if you know what … Continue reading »
So after all this hype is it any cop? Or is its mere existence a crime? Ed stops his punning right now and gets down to some serious work. From the Director of The Getaway and a new studio from Australia (Team Bondi), L.A. Noire is a gritty detective story that loves film noir so … Continue reading »
News reports are suggesting that the RRP for EA’s latest installment will be set at £54.99, smashing the previous high from Modern Warfare 2 of £50.00. Undoubtedly the supermarkets will be giving the game away once more with every 2 bottles of Fairy Liquid purchased, or a thin crust margaritas, but the smaller stores will no … Continue reading »
Breasts and brutal combos, that’s why you bought a 3DS right?…. Its been only a few short months since the release of the 3DS and much has been said about its ability to render children blind, cause mass famine, and generally (in our office) is thought to be responsible for preventing Rapture on the 21st May 2011. No mean feat, however, there has … Continue reading »

As Hard And Soft gaming isn’t a sweaty-palmed, frantic … Continue reading »
