The Next Level In Gaming

As Movie to game conversions go I have always remained sceptical. There isn’t many good games that were originally movies out there. Watchmen: The end is nigh pretty much killed me a little inside and things like Iron man and spider Man 3 don’t last 5 seconds until they are in the bargain bin. Xmen Origins: Wolverine is a small glint of hope for the movie to game franchise. This is because it manages to take its own slant on [...]

Ever since i have played street fighter IV, I have fallen in love with it, Fallen inlove with the battle system, the 2d fighting style and the characters. Speculation had been circulating round the Internet the first quarter of this year talking about Marvel Vs capcom 2 coming to Xbox live arcade and PS3 network. At E3 this was confirmed!  Leon was excited I’m sure as hell excited and cannot wait for this gem to make its full on appearance come late July. So here for [...]

News is floating around the net at the moment that a sequel to this years street fighter IV may have a sequel in the pipe line. This is not a huge surprise, as capcom a notorious for this kind of thing when it comes to street fighter. I mean look at street fighter III,  It had 3 incarnations – New generation, 2nd impact and 3rd strike. The new key features for the supposed sequel are as follows: Gouken’s daughter is [...]

… when it comes to games and console technology. When i first started gaming the main console religiously played was the PS1 closely followed by the PS2. The two consoles were in a different league to their competitors. They had the right games, the right technology and graphics for the time and the business knowhow that comes with such a competitive market. So here is my confession. Even though I am devoted to my Xbox 360 and indeed my Xbox last generation, I started off [...]

Being a huge Final Fantasy fan, I naturally have an interest in the upcoming Final Fantasy titles – Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII – collectively known as Fabula Nova Crystallis or “The New tale of the Crystal” as it translates to English. The set of games do not tie in directly as such, but are more set in the same single universe – assumedly similarly to the “Ivalice Alliance” of Final Fantasy XII, [...]

Been a while i know so just a small update to keep the fans and people happy :p. Left For Dead 2 Have said next to nothing about this new game. Another announcement from E3 that i let float by so here is a small break down! Melee Combat has been revamped and taken into account more. You can brandish a shiny Axe and lop of limbs, heads, you name it. Good bit of senseless violence didn’t hurt anyone. With this new melee system [...]

A roadie of a quite abysmal [...]

More information from the Electronic entertainment expo! So what is the multi-player going to be like in bioshock 2? I have been a little sceptical about multi-player in recent times. Take The darkness for example. A really good game, the single player was really good. The multi-player however was rubbish, wasn’t even worth mentioning in a review. And the same can be said for a titles such as prey and quake 4. So I a still a Little sceptical of [...]

As i have been saying throughout the plus xp E3 2009 coverage that i was gonna do a post on project Natal and what this amazing thing is coming to Xbox 360. When I first heard about this new thing that Xbox was bringing out I thought and i quote “oh great another wii motion sensor clone whoopy doo. Microsoft at it again not coming up with their own ideas so stealing and adapting others” (That wasn’t a dig at [...]
