This was my first Eurogamer Expo and can I say that it was an amazing one to start with. As you have read in previous post, there were a lot of great titles that you could play. As always with expos, there are games that haven’t been released yet. One of these titles was House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut for the Playstation 3. This was an extended version of a previously realised game. I have played all the [...]
Its time for the first of our Eurogamer Epxo 2011 interviews. This year we were lucky enough to be invited into the press area of the Expo to interview the Project Manager of OnLive Andre Srinivasan. Andre and the rest of the team came all the way from the USA to share with us the UK launch of the OnLive cloud based gaming system, but why am I telling you all of this? Watch now as we take our first [...]
So myself and the rest of the PlusXP team were, as you can no doubt tell from the heaps of posts we’ve made so far on the topic, up at the Eurogamer Expo in force over the weekend. I was charged with the delightful task of covering most of the Nintendo titles, as well as a few others, including the mighty Sonic Generations. As my reviews are on the brief side I’ve decided to group them into two posts, as [...]
I have been a fan if id software ever since I first got my hands on Wolfenstein 3D back in the 90’s. It is because of id that I spent hours playing Doom over a serial network connection and played shed loads of Quake with my mates back in school. They are the creators of the FPS genre and possibly one of the most influential companies in the video games industry. It’s because of this I have been waiting for [...]
This year’s Eurogamer was perhaps my most anticipated so far – my third year visiting alongside my fellow Plus XP team members, Eurogamer 2011 promised one of the most interesting game lineups so far – with new projects from top developers such as Anarchy Reigns from Platinum Games, Street Fighter X Tekken from Capcom and Rage from Doom creators id Software, as well as many a sequel for triple-A titles – including Mass Effect 3, Ninja Gaiden III, Zelda: Skyward [...]
Today was the first day of the Eurogamer expo at Earls Court London. For the the PlusXP team that meant two things, free Onlive micro consoles and Developer sessions. With the quest to claim our free On Live consoles soon complete we decided to drop in on the PS Vita dev session to see what the latest addition to the Playstation family has to offer. As well as showcasing the Vita’s impressive new set of features such as the consoles [...]
Tomorrow is the start of the biggest games expo in the UK, and we at Plus XP are very excited. Over the next week or so we will have previews and interviews of some of the hottest games fresh off the Eurogamer expo floor. Untill then, for your viewing pleasure here is the round-up video for last years Eurogamer Expo. Just a little preview of some of the stuff we will probably get up to this year. Stay tuned to [...]
Announced last September, the news of DmC: Devil May Cry left an awful taste in my mouth. Capcom and Ninja Theory’s new version of Dante seemingly ruined the very essence of Dante, turning him from a fun-loving joker into a moody teenager, and changing his entire look and voice. As a huge fan of the original games, and with a lot of questions left unanswered (chiefly, why does Nero have Sparda powers and a magic arm?), the last thing I wanted [...]
Hey Everyone. As you can all see we have a new website! Plus XP has finally gained enough experience to go up to the next level and evolve. Now just to let everyone know, there are still a couple of kinks to sort out. So some stuff may look a bit funny or out-of-place, but we are working on it. The good news is that it is functioning. So hope you guys like the new site and watch this space [...]
One of my favorite game franchises on the PS2 was Max Payne. The mixture of film noir narrative and great 3rd person shooter action made for a highly addictive game, that I spent countless hours playing. Plus the fact you were able to shoot down half a room of bad guys in slow motion was just the icing on the cake.
