They say that sex sells – and I’m sure this has its merits. Any gaming connoisseur will know to generally avoid a game that plasters a scantily clad heroine across its cover – I’m sure most of us have made that mistake at least once. But the truth in many of these cases is simply that the game is low-budget, and aimed at a male teenage market that will snap it up because their brain immediately takes notice of the hot girl [...]
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 [...]
Considering the premise of Asura’s Wrath, in which players take the reigns of the demigod Asura as he battles gods in angry revenge, it set itself a high bar to meet in terms of expectations. Dubbed by gamers as a potential “God of War-beater” in terms of epic battles, I was excited to see what Capcom and CyberConnect2′s game had to offer in its demo (out today on Xbox, tomorrow on PS3), seeing as over-the-top action games are among my [...]
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 [...]
Note: I’m sorry this article is a little late – between juggling a new job, new home, RPG reviews, announcements and of course gaming, I’ve been a little sidetracked with life in general. Anyway – onto the review! The last game I got my hands on at this year’s Eurogamer was one of the many sequels I’m looking forward to next year – Mass Effect 3. While I found the original title took a little getting into, it was a [...]
So as you know at Eurogamer they show off all the yet to be released titles, but they also put in titles that have just been released. One of these titles was Resistance 3, which is a FPS game from Insomniac games. I was a fan of the previous two games and I really enjoyed playing them, so when I heard that Resistance 3 was to be playable at Eurogamer I jumped at the chance to give it a go. [...]
Ninja Gaiden is a franchise I have always been a fan of. Ever since I got my gaming mitts on Ninja Gaiden Black for the original Xbox I have been hooked. Maybe it’s because of the difficulty level, or the fact you are a ninja cutting people and demons up piece by piece. I mean lets face it, Ninja’s in general are awesome. At Eurogamer this year I had the opportunity to play the 3rd installment in the Ninja Gaiden [...]
As soon as we arrived at Eurogamer on Saturday I rushed to the Skyrim stand. I had to play this game, the trailer I had seen online had more than whet my appetite. Somehow I knew that this was going to be my game of the show. First I was confronted with the familiar character creation screen with a beautiful dungeon motif. Like Oblivion at this stage you simply choose your character race and gender. Being the creature of habit [...]
As you already know, at Eurogamer they had yet to be released titles that we could play. Among these games was a release by Namco, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. This is the next game in a long series, which has spanned over many years and consoles. Typically the Ace Combat series in known for its fast paced fighter jet battles, this version however has a new addition, the ability to fly a Helicopter. This Ace Combat booth had eight screens [...]
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 [...]
