I’m probably the biggest gamer I know. I’m not necessarily the best – after all, it takes a devotion to a specific game or genre (or natural talent) to really master a game. But in terms of dedication, I play games at every opportunity - between work, “social interactions” and sleeping, you’ll more than likely find I’m playing a video game of some sort. Enjoying a vast amount of genres and keeping a close eye on the industry, I have a backlog that seems to grow rather than [...]
Contributed by Andrew Highton Halo? Call of Duty? Killzone? Battlefield? What do all of the above have in common? Well, they’re all amazing online experiences which provide much excitement, along with enough thrills and spills designed to fill any gamer with enough adrenaline to punch a hole through a wall… unsuccessfully. Nevertheless, these games have servers cluttered up with many gamers who’re either capturing a flag, killing opposing members of the other team or blowing up some munitions in a [...]
When Halo: Reach launched, I was one of the dissenters who chose to make their reluctance to continue investing in the series clear. Obviously, Reach is supposedly a fantastic game and I’d probably enjoy my time with it if I chose to invest in it, but in a gaming climate overflowing with First Person Shooters my desire to play them has declined to the point where the only FPS games I’m even remotely looking forward to are Duke Nukem Forever [...]
When it comes to FPS games 9 times out of 10 I am always going to go for the futuristic space age shooters. I have always preferred the likes of Halo, Duke 3D and even Doom to games like Medal Of Honor, Call Of Duty and indeed Wolfenstein (Even though Wolfenstein is beyond awesome). Maybe its because Sci Fi shooters give developers more of an imaginative playing field to use. If you go for a modern war FPS game, all the guns and [...]
It has been a day of celebration in London today at the 28th annual Golden Joystick awards. Often referred to as the ‘Oscars of the Gaming industry’ the Golden Joystick Awards acknowledges and commends the most successful and best loved releases of the year. Over 1.2 Million of you voted for the releases you would most like to see rewarded, and I must say the results were really quite something. I think its high time I stopped talking and announced [...]
Usually every year I am excited about the Microsoft E3 Press conference. Nothing puts a smile on my face more than the thought of some big game announcements and previews for my beloved console. But to hear that most of the conference was about Kinect and how much this thing is about as revolutionary as the latest Final Fantasy title I feel a little disappointed and underwhelmed. To be honest I am pretty much done with speaking about Kinect. So [...]
Mark Boss tackles Mod War 2 (hardend) on release day through a 11 hour parade of bullets. This time was spent on both single player and multiplayer gameplay, but only single player footage is shown here. 11,657, 32 bullets fired that day. www.youtube.com/gamersuniteTUBE Music by Eminem and Nate Dogg- Till I Collapse
Me being the FPS junkie that I am, you would expect that I would be going absolutely nuts over this title. Well take a seat because quite frankly I am not. (shock, horror) But this is not because I am disappointed or dreading this release or anything like that. I’m just not one of these guys who is a huge Call Of Duty or indeed War game fan. I have played both Modern Warfare and World At War, but I [...]
