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 [...]

Back in my uni days I was a sucker for trading in games. This was partly so I can get the latest games a little bit cheaper and I really didn’t think that any of my titles were worth hanging on to except a select few. My collection kept changing and changing. It was a fantastic way to save money and get some good titles in the process. Ever since things like Xbox LIVE and Steam on PC started to [...]

Last night saw possibly one of the biggest launch events for a game/console/peripheral in new york. Times square was littered with dancing people for the launch event for Kinect. Originally labeled project Natal back at E3 in 2009. The idea behind Kinect is controller-less gaming, meaning you can play games just with your body. With the Tag line you are the controller it sounds like it should be a revolution for the 360.

The Eurogamer Expo coverage is dying down a little here as I’m getting into the swing of summarising everything I volunteered to covered. So rather than put the updates on day by day, I felt it was probably easier to save your time by trying to put a bunch of the previews together. So the first part is my coverage on Gears of War 3, Mario Sports Mix and Zelda: Skyward Sword. Enjoy! Gears Of War 3 – Beast Mode [...]

Ever since the release of the PSP there have been all sorts of rumors buzzing around that Microsoft would eventually create a hand-held Xbox system for the gaming world to enjoy. At games-com, our prayers have been answered…well…sort of.

Ever since the release of the Wii, the gaming market has seen a radicle change. People who didn’t really have any inclination to play video games (I.E grandparents, old people, boring mum and dad folk) had the sudden urge to pick up a Wii-mote or the Wii balance board and start playing video games. Games such as Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit and Family Game Night were being played in homes all over the world. Then with the introduction to [...]

If you cast your mind back to last year, and how much I was impressed by Milo, the annoying CGI child that Microsoft and Lion Head showed off when Natal was announced, you may remember me being pretty excited about that particular game/piece of software.

The name project Natal has been floating round the gaming universe for some time now. Back at E3 last year Project Natal was shown as the Xbox 360′s new 3D camera which would take gaming to a whole new level. A bit like the Wii Project Natal brought the idea o getting physical with Video games, basically jumping around the room like a look while playing your new favorite video game. But Natal was different, it didn’t require a controller [...]

I have been a bit deprived of Xbox LIVE recently. This week saw me once again logging onto LIVE to see what things I have missed. So after downloading several gigs worth of demos onto my hard drive, I came across Halo Waypoint. Now me being the journalist I am, I personally have not heard much about this new addition to LIVE. Which is quite surprising really, seeing as I live and breath all things Halo pretty much. You could [...]

This is what I asked myself this morning, when I woke up and found the leaked news/rumor of the new gaming hands-free kit. Project Natal is supposedly gonna hit shelves November 2010, for the impressively low price of £50. On launch it is also rumored that the device will have a bundle of 14 games. Well if this is true then I will be looking forward to November/Christmas next year. But as I sat back and thought about it, will this [...]
