On the train coming back from wales today i picked up today’s local paper. The metro. It was lying on the table when i got on the train so i though what the hell! Flicking through i found an article about gaming entitled ‘Why Shooting Zombies Is Good For Your Eyes!’ So reading on it turns out that US and Israel scientist trained 2 groups of what they call “novice” gamers (sounds like someone who can’t hack the green hill [...]

This is it, my first “rant” topic. Just remember, I’m thinking of the gaming communities best interest, and take my words with a pinch of salt So, often a game will do well enough to merit a sequel. A large amount of today’s biggest games are parts of series’ that have built up a real reputation and grown to be loved my many. But once in a while, companies do thing concerning new titles that just leaves you thinking… what [...]
Been scouting out yet more game sites and i have come across something quite revolutionary! A new mini console for PC gamers. No bigger than a deck or cards and you plug it into your pc. What it effectively is, it’s like a TV satellite subscription but for games. Meaning no more installing or updating your pc. Its kind of like live streaming games which you have to pay for a subscription for. To put it into better English this [...]
Today Rockstar and take 2 interactive have announced that the 3rd installment in the max payne franchise isin the works! and has been pinned down for a winter 2009 release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC! “We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game,” commented Rockstar cofounder Sam Houser in an interview with gamespot. “This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward [...]
Well as you people who have been tuning into this blog know. have not been shutting up about this game recently. It came to attention yesterday that the demo was available on Xbox live. I was pretty excited when this news hit me like the proverbial brick wall! So without sounding too bias i will now proceed :p Please note that i am doing this solely from a guitar and bass point of view as i don’t have a GH [...]
Resident Evil was a series that I didnt get into until more recently – I never had a love for horror movies, so horror games never really appealed. However, a few years ago, I decided to give RE4 a shot (I actually got the Wii version, since it seemed to work well with the control system). I enjoyed the game quite a lot, although it seemed the series had become a lot more action oriented than it had used to [...]
When it comes to grand theft auto. I go nuts iver the series. I’ve been playing since GTA1 and i can’t get enough of it. Recently finished the lost and damned. Possibly one of the best things to happen to GTA. From the family background i come from I have a love for motorbikes and bike clubs. So i did not hesitate to get this DLC! But thats not what I am here to talk about (next post maybe) As [...]

Well my recent new 3rd person hack and slash love has taken me through a good few games. Devil may cry being the king in my opinion. God of war was amazing on the ps2 *makes me wish i had a ps3* and ninja gaiden 2 just to name a few. Scouting through IGN today and i stumbled across a game that I’ve been meaning to look into for a while. Now we all remember or at least know the [...]
Its a stunning looking game, awesome platforming but a real shame about the constant saving every time you fail.
