With Resident Evil: Revelations out in a week, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City due for release in March, and rumours of Resident Evil 6 scattered over the web, I must say I wasn’t actually expecting an announcement AND trailer this suddenly. But it’s here – the official reveal of Resident Evil 6. And judging by the trailer, I’m excited. Zombies, glorious zombies. While the Resident Evil series has moved away from them at late (in favour of the less dead-looking and agile [...]

Real name Ziggy Newman, this charismatic little lady performed at this year’s AlCon, Summer of Sonic and the London Gaming Con (which she also played a role in organising).

This week we have been treated to yet another tantalizing trailer for Irrational Games highly anticipated 2012 release Bioshock Infinite. Set to an eerie and strangely reminiscent soundtrack, this trailer gives us yet more insight into the fall of Columbia, the latest and quite possibly greatest Bioshock city. Here we see the people of this once great and patriotic floating city suffering many hardships from illness and hunger to violence and corruption. We also see key character Elizabeth suffering some [...]
Back in 2009, after Metal Gear Solid 4 marked the end of Solid Snake’s saga, it was revealed that the next game in the series would instead follow the footsteps of Raiden, telling the story of his earlier days as a cyborg before the events of Metal Gear Solid 4. Metal Gear Solid: Rising would introduce a new type of gameplay to the series, utilising Raiden’s high-frequency blade to create a more action based title with the ability to cut [...]
There have been a couple of FPS games that I have sworn by ever since I was bitten by the shooter bug. Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and Halo are the main games that I love coming back too, but there has been one game that has been buried in my game collection which I have been meaning to come back to for a good while now, and that is the first Serious Sam game, Serious Same: First Encounter. The title [...]

So I when I found out that Beenox had announced that they will be making another Spiderman game, I was excited to see what they would do this time. Garvaos wrote about the announcement and gave us what they had at the time about the [...]
When I think of hack and slash games there are only two games that cut the mustard. Devil May Cry for its awesome story and stylish combat and Ninja Gaiden for its fantastic game play and its steep learning curve. The amount of time I have spent trying to complete Ninja Gaiden II is unreal. I still go back to it every now and again just to see if I still have the skills to beat the game. That and [...]
When the original release of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (or MvC3) was first announced I was pretty excited. It couldn’t have come out at a better time either as my love for fighters was in full swing (and it still is) and my love for Marvel comics was growing bigger.I was glued to every single announcement that was released but when the game finally came out, I felt a bit underwhelmed.
…. But Not The End Of Halo As We Know It Bungie’s community manager Eric “urk” Osborne wrote on Bungie.net; “As we prepare to become fans of the universe our studio began creating more than ten years ago, it’s nice to know that we’ll be counted among such esteemed company. “Some might consider the upcoming transition a bittersweet occasion punctuated by a sense of loss and sadness.
