It has been a day of celebration in London today at the 28th annual Golden Joystick awards. Often referred to as the ‘Oscars of the Gaming industry’ the Golden Joystick Awards acknowledges and commends the most successful and best loved releases of the year. Over 1.2 Million of you voted for the releases you would most like to see rewarded, and I must say the results were really quite something. I think its high time I stopped talking and announced [...]

Well this was meant to be a Eurogamer round up vid but then I got distracted and ended up doing this instead. This intro was a product of Jokesounds wacky imagination, my bossy directing and a few very late nights after the Expo. Please enjoy! Eurogamer round up vid to follow, hopefully! 24 x
Tomorrow sees the 28th annual Golden Joystick awards here in London. The day long event will be taking place at Westminsters’ Park Plaza hotel and there will be some great games at the event both winning awards and being previewed to the media. Rich hall will be leading the ceremony and a record-breaking million and a half votes. So this is set to be a great show. But the question of everyone’s lips at the moment is who has been [...]
Hack and slash games have ranked highly in my opinion for some time now. These games are classic for releasing some rage and more importantly a great genre to mix up some button combinations giving you a good variety of ways to attack your enemy. I have always been a manga fan and in recent times, video games of manga series haven’t really gone that well in my opinion, except for maybe pokemon but that’s the only exception. But in [...]
I am one of the these geeks who isn’t the biggest fan of Star Wars. Sure it is an enjoyable series to watch and the concept of the light saber is damn awesome. But story wise I have defiantly seen better. As for Star Wars games there are very few good ones. Knights of the old republic I have a lot of respect for as an RPG. But one that has always stuck out from the rest was The Force [...]
The MCM expo is fast approaching again, this weekend will see cos-players from all over the country come to the Excel center for another fun-filled weekend of anime, manga, comics and of course video games.
There are many games that have influenced my general love of gaming over the years – but Sonic the Hedgehog is perhaps the oldest. The Sega Megadrive being my first console, there weren’t many games that I would consider it’s equal – with fluid control, colourful levels, fast paced gameplay and fun bosses, there’s little I would fault. While many older games have aged badly, the four SEGA Sonic titles are amongst my favourite to return to for a dose of [...]
Its video time again! With fellow journalists traveling from far and wide for this years Eurogamer Expo, we here at PlusXp thought that it would be good to get some of our friends together for a round table discussion to see what they thought of this years offering. After a lot of e-mailing back and fourth, a couple of late trains and a minor wall related accident we all finally sat down to discuss our high (and low) points of [...]
As our Eurogamer Expo 2010 coverage dies down, I’m finishing off by covering four more games I covered; Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Killzone 3 (3D) and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Another long post, but necessary to cover all the games without dragging out the coverage. Hope you enjoy this, and that you enjoyed the coverage of the 2010 Eurogamer Expo! Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
Here at Plus XP we talk about video games, mainly ones to do with PC’s, Consoles and hand-held machines. But there is one thing we are missing that I think should be touched on every now and again, and that is the Flash Game. There are literally millions of Flash and browser games out there which we haven’t really mentioned at all, so I plan to put a stop to this and give Flash Games a chance, because there are [...]
