So here’s part 2 of my Eurogamer round-up. This one features my thoughts on EA’s latest football sim ; FIFA 12, the 7th title in the Mario Kart franchise, the upcoming Need for Speed, ending with the adorable (who would have guessed?) new Pokémon game about to hit the 3DS. I hope you guys enjoy reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it, Eurogamer really was an unrivalled gaming experience and I’d recommend the con to anyone out [...]
Greetings ladies and gentlemen! Well, Eurogamer is over, and I am just about recovered from its effect. In between University work and trying to keep myself financially afloat, I present to you my experiences of this year’s game show. Enjoy! Assassins Creed Revelations: I remember a year ago at the Eurogamer Expo, AC Brotherhood was offered to gamers to enjoy the online multiplayer mode. I thought it was a solid and very enjoyable mode. This year, we got to enjoy [...]
Capcom have always been one of my favourite game developers - creating solid games with plenty of content and very often producing games that I would consider among the best. However, some of their best – most notably Devil May Cry, Okami and Resident Evil - were influenced largely by the work of game director Hideki Kamiya, who worked within Clover Studios. However, when Clover was closed, Kamiya became one of the founding members of Platinum Games – creators of Bayonetta, Madworld and Vanquish - a studio I now [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Some exciting titles had cropped up like Battlefeild 3, Rage and Ninja Gaiden 3. Now nearly a month on some exciting news has come to light about the expo as a whole and a [...]
