The past couple of weeks I have been looking into Halo 3: ODST. I am a huge Halo fan and have been ever since my mate over the road first got the original XBox and we used to play Halo: Combat evolved, or Halo 1 as it’s more commonly known. ODST is a GamesCom at the moment so I though why not lets talk about it now! For all you who missed my Halo 3: ODST round up or you [...]

Well a lot has been going on news wise at GC today. With Microsoft having a large press conference would it rival son’sPS3 Slim announcement? Lets find out! This press conference only had one franchise in sight, and that was the Fable franchise, with Mr Lionhead himself Peter Molyneux taking center stage with a wealth on information. He started the conference with more Info on fable2. Interestingly enough fable 2 will be on games on demand but, it has been [...]

As it happens this week sees a great Games Expo in Cologne Germany. What I like to call the biggest thing next to E3. GamesCom promises to have some big announcement and some great in sites into some games. Of course I am ready as ever! Even though I am not at he Expo itself this year. I will be keeping people up to date on the big stuff as and when I hear it. So this week I call [...]
When it comes down to it there is always one genre I swear by when gaming wise. That genre is the first person shooter! Some people like myself adore them and cannot get enough, others either can’t get on with them or think strange things like, shooting games require no skill and blah blah blah, eventually remarks like that sound like white noise to me. My love for the genre started back around 1994. I would of been about 6 [...]
Innovation is something that can be a godsend in gaming - with a huge competitive market in the gaming industry, companies fight to create something unique, yet too often ‘innovation’ just turns out to be gimmicky, boring, or just plain pointless. Motion controls, touchscreens, cameras… all good for a while, yet soon get pushed aside to go back to the good old solid gaming that I know and love. Fahrenheit was one such title, a game relying on next to nothing [...]
I’ve noticed I have been doing a lot of demo reviews lately. Probably a bit samey and boring, kinda like the combat in TMNT but lets not go there again. A couple of nights ago I thought I would drag out the old PS2. Haven’t played it in ages, thinking I did get this console for free off a friend to replace my broken one, It was time to do it some justice. Now back when I was at uni [...]
The Rockband and Guitar Hero war has been going on since the dawn of plastic instrument time. No one is really sure who is winning, both games have their ups and downs. Back in the early part of last year. Neversoft thought it would be great idea to go down the rout of portable gaming and release Guitar Hero On tour for the Nintendo DS. This game had a small four button peripheral and a pic shaped stylus for you [...]

Only like 2 songs. I know its a bit fail but the teaser trailer for the up and coming game has bee released ad it looks like its going to be using the GH5 engine. So it look pretty shiny. [...]
As superheros go I never really got into Batman until the movies really. His pointy ears look pretty ridiculous to me, but in all fairness when I saw Tim Burtons; Batman Returns I really started to like him. The film Dark Night of course is THE awesome and from then on the Bat has gone up in my estimation. So when the Arkham Aslyum demo came out on Friday I needed to get my hands on it. That I did [...]
