The software side has tended to be a bit of a mine-field though, and the HD PVR is no exception to this. Hopefully this guide will lessen the pain for anyone who just wants to record some beastly gameplay from their HD games console. Continue reading »
Battlefield 3 had a variety of exclusive extras available to those who pre-ordered via various specific retailers. The most notorious of these was the “Physical Warfare Pack” which was available to Game/Gamestation customers only. Fan lashback was so strong that EA relented and said it would be available to all (for free) at a later unspecified time. That time has been and gone, you can download the pack now, but you can now also acquire all of the other content too. At a price. Continue reading »
I intend to get Mass Effect 3. Playing the demo for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning unlocks an exclusive weapon and set of armour for Mass Effect 3. Therefore I played and completed the Reckoning demo.
In a nutshell – a better, more open and enjoyable Fable I, minus the humour. I initially just wanted to plough through the thing to unlock the ME3 gun, I ended up delaying the demo’s completion for some hours because I was having a fantastic time. Continue reading »
Dragon Age: Origins… I love you and I hate you. “Love” and “hate” are powerful words, but they are key here, as BioWare’s first fantasy foray into the next-gen range of consoles takes the familiar mold that we’ve come to expect from Canada’s finest RPG developer, and stuffs it full of the kind of mature … Continue reading »

The recent remake of Medal of Honor was not a title I purchased based on review scores. As an unashamed, newly-converted addict to the brilliance of Battlefield, I couldn’t resist the pull of a free Beta trial for the upcoming Battlefield 3. However, I was pleasantly surprised by a thoroughly entertaining single player campaign. Although … Continue reading »
Pick up gun. Shoot everything that moves. Rinse and repeat… It’s the standard formula for a vast swathe of first and third person shooters out there, each with their own unique little twist on an otherwise very familiar (and very profitable) formula. We’ve been following the hype around the F.E.A.R. franchise’s third instalment, and a … Continue reading »
Mass Effect 3 is due to be released worldwide on March 6, 2012 for PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I’m really looking forward to this, I’ve played through number 2 but skipped over the first.

RockStar’s 2008 titanic hit has been given a thorough going over within the modding community, from fat rag dolls to naked ladies, new weapons and Le Man sports cars, but none have been as inspiring as the latest teaser from Aimedehaire.
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.
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.

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 »

It feels like first-person shooters are absolutely flooding the market these days.
