The creative director of Irrational games Ken Levine has officially announced that the release of BioShock Infinite has now been delayed until February 26th 2013. Despite the near finished looking footage of the game currently circling the internet, Irrational have decided to postpone the release in order to give their team the time they need to make the Infinite truly extraordinary. Ken Levine gave some insight into the decision to postpone the game, reminding us that this is not the [...]

Digital Shoreditch is a massive festival celebrating all things tech. Its taking place between the 21st May and 1st June in East London, and there will be more than enough talks, information and even mini courses to appease the marketeers, tech heads and aspiring video game developers among you. Being this site’s emphasis on video games I’m going to focus on the latter in this article, but those of you interested in general marketing or tech should be sure to [...]

With the Joker gone the whole city has been evacuated, but his sassy sidekick Harley [...]

Dear Pokéwalker, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…. seems only fair given the amount of steps you’ve counted for me along the way. 3600000 so far… which, I do not hasten to add, amounts to a hefty 1700 miles. And I honestly wouldn’t have done it without you dear, you’ve taken something so mundane as walking and turned it into something fun and rewarding, an everyday chore into a means of obtaining objectives that actually have [...]

You may remember a couple of weeks back I posted about the official announcement of Boulder Dash XL-3D for 3DS. I got the opportunity to Ludosity some questions about the upcoming game.   1) Were you a fan of the original Boulder Dash game?  Absolutely, we all were! Especially Lead programmer Daniel is a die-hard fan of it, being one of his mainstay games when he was growing up. I could probably have made him work on it for free! =) 2) Besides boulder [...]

Dear LucasArts, I am writing this open letter because I have a dream, a dream to see a lost favorite of mine returned to glory. I am talking of course about the magnificent LucasArts title, Maniac Mansion II: Day of the Tentacle, and how I would love to see it brought to the iPhone. Day of the Tentacle is without a doubt my favorite point and click adventure, and I believe that in this opinion I am not alone. I [...]

Capcom’s Lost Planet series has had mixed success since the original’s release in 2007 – while neither title has ever really become a “mainstream” hit, both titles have garnered enough attention to sell over 1.5 million copies each. While I personally loved both titles, I was doubtful that there would be a third game in the series as there seemed to be little demand for it. However, I’m glad to say that I was wrong – and Lost Planet 3 is officially in development. In [...]

 I have been a gamer for well over 20 years and in this time I have never stopped loving games.  I’m also into comics and graphic novels (which you probably knew already since I keep posting about comic based games) which has helped me to become the geek I am today. The very first games console I played on was the ZX Spectrum plus 2. With this retro console you needed to load tapes to play the games, and the [...]
