With the summer seeming still so far away this week EA invites us to celebrate the cold weather in style as they release to us the first look gameplay trailer of the new SSX. Now coming with the tag line ‘Defy reality. Own the planet.’ this trailer shows us much more about what we can expect from our next downhill adventure. Wait though, because it does not stop there. Though this is the first official gameplay trailer to be released, [...]
This years Eurogamer Expo gave the PlusXP team their first opportunity to get some hands on time with the newest addition to the Playstation family, the PS Vita. With such an exciting opportunity to try out this new tech on offer it is not surprising that most the team wanted to share their first experiences with the Vita, and what better way to do this than with a good old fashioned round table discussion. Want to know more about the [...]
In addition to showcasing the traditional mix of highly anticipated mainstream titles and new game tech, each year the Eurogamer Expo also gives us the chance to get our hands on many innovative new games from both experienced and up and coming Indie developers. This year the Indie Arcade was particularly inspiring with more than a couple of new Indie games catching my eye. With such an impressive array of talent being showcased, I thought it only fitting to get [...]
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 [...]
3rd person shooters are a mixed bag with me. I love Max Payne possible one of the greatest 3rd person shooters there is. I have tried my hand at Gears Of War and I really did get into it. Thing was I lost all my save data mid way through 1 and couldn’t be bothered to start again. (I must pick that up again some time) but there are some just some 3rd person shooters that don’t cut the mustard [...]
Lets talk about hardware… Anyone who logged on last week will know that my last contribution was a rather excited outburst giving you a sneaky look at the newest Guitar hero controller. I will not lie. I will always be a guitar hero girl. I was hooked at Gh3 and never looked back. I do however acknowledge that there are a lot of Rockband aficionado’s out there and it simply wouldn’t be fair to talk about the new guitar hero [...]
A pre-post post I had no plans to write anything tonight. If anything I was ready for a quiet night in with my duvet and a good dvd…AND THEN I SAW THIS….

Mainly because some sort of virus has taken a hold on the world, and changed human life as we know it into a crazed ridden, flesh eating, vacant stare kind of race. Resident Evil started the whole craze off with the umbrella corporation going a bit hey wire and unleashing an [...]
Prototype… Prototype… a game with a lot of potential. But, as I’ve experienced many times before, games with potential often go awry – its almost as if a concept is so good it cannot be shaped by mortals. But occasionally, we get the odd gem that just does it right. I’m on the fence about this one – I so badly *want* it to be good, but I fear it is something just too good to be true.
