So it’s the day after St Valentines day, and with the novelty of the cards, gifts and (lets face it) commercially driven forced emotion having worn off, its time to talk about a much more important happy partnership. Gamers and broadband. Ever since we ditched the dial up online gaming has brought us endless possibilities for bragging, socializing and shooting our mates in the face without the hassle arranging for them to actually be there; and we love it. Any [...]
The dawn of the Playstation brought with it some epic video game franchises. Without Sony consoles we wouldn’t have such characters as Solid Snake, Lara Croft or even Spyro The Dragon. Have you ever thought about how cool it would be to have characters like Kratos and Nathan Drake pitted against each other in a fight to the death? Or even sack boy having a brawl against Crash Bandicoot? Well soon your wishes maybe granted Title Fight appears to be [...]
Rumours hit the internet todaythat at E3 this year not one but two new consoles are going to be announced. After a painfully long wait it finally looks as though both Microsoft and Sony will be announcing the next generations of the XBox and PlayStation family. The first site to make this announcement was mvcuk.com. They stated that ”MCV’s third-party publishing sources claim the firm had signalled to partners this will happen.” Ben Parfitt MVC’s online editor also tweeted about the news saying “Obviously we [...]
While new and exciting games come and go, some maintain a special place in our collections – games that, for whatever reason, we enjoy so much that we never tire of them and always enjoy playing. While games such as BioShock, Shadow of the Colossus and Batman: Arkham Asylum are amongst some of the games I would consider the best – they still don’t quite attain this status in my library. That’s not to say that they didn’t do everything right – [...]
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.
As you probably know by now, when it comes to the Devil May Cry series, both myself and Leon love the whole franchise, I was bitten by the DMC bug when Leon bought me Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition for my birthday donkey’s years ago. So when the news hits of a new Devil May Cry game we jump for joy. Lately though the latest outing for the devil hunter Dante, Devil May Cry 4, missed the mark a [...]
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 [...]
[This article has been updated with the Sega Announcements from yesturday and the Big announcement that went live at midnight last night.] About a month ago I gave the gaming public a brief insight into the latest announcements that had surfaced for the Eurogamer expo 2011. 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 [...]
Contributed by Random Man Let me start off by saying I was a massive fan of Spiderman Shattered Dimensions. I was impressed with what Beenox had done with the game design and the gameplay itself. 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 [...]
