You invested weeks replaying Mass Effect to perfect your Shepard and nail down your plot decisions. You spent hours wrangling with launch-issues so you could import your hard work into Mass Effect 2. And now you're planning to do the same in preparation for the final entry in the trilogy. Don't. Bioware have warned that your... [Read More]
Peter Molyneux promised us he wouldn't tell any more fibs about in-development games, swearing to never discuss or reveal gameplay features until they were fully implemented. This means that every word he says now is pure speculation gold. We know Fable III is nearly done, we know it's going on show ... [Read More]
If you're a Final Fantasy fan, then you're in it for life. You are recruited into the brotherhood and may never leave again. It is against the rules for you to view the release of a new title with anything less than feverish anticipation (and cynical "it will not be as good as FF6" comments). This global fanbase serves Square Enix well: the international publisher have announced... [Read More]
I am on the Twitter, you know, and use it to stalk all my friends. The gamers make it particularly easy by allowing Raptr updates. My subtle use of technology to monitor my acquaintances has lead me to the following conclusion: they are all good people, because today, they all seem to be playing Chime.How does this make you a good person? Because proceeds gained by your shelling out for this unique puzzler... [Read More]
Paradox make and publish strategy games. They've done it for years, they do it a lot, and they do it with finesse. Even when I can't find my mouse for the WWII titles piled on my desk, I still fix my beady eye with some anticipation on Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943. Especially now I know it's being made by a team once hired to... [Read More]
Hands up everyone who likes Aliens vs Predator! hands up who'd like a demo! hands up who'd like it this week! Hands up who'd like it to be multiplayer! Okay, let's see... You, you, you, ... and you and you ... alright, all of you can have it, because it hits the PSN, Steam, and LIVE today. No really, there's no reason to cheer, you'll make me blush.
I'm sorry, did someone declare 2010 the year of the JRPG and forget to tell me? Because that is something I would have liked to know before I agreed to take on extra projects this year. Clearly they are all going to have to be dropped. We'll barely be over Final Fantasy XIII before Nier arrives in late April!
Remember the good old days of swapping discs part way through epic RPGs? Good times, good times. Or were they? We'll soon find out if it's just nostalgia talking, because those days are back. The Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be split over three DVDs.
What's the single most expensive TV advertising slot on earth? I am pretty sure it has to be during the Superbowl, an event that usually passes we Aussies by with as much impact as a sparrow fart. Each to their own, I suppose, and plenty of American consumers - with all their lovely, lovely money - sit enraptured before the glowing box to witness this grand final. EA want a piece of that action, and... [Read More]
The last three days have seen employers struggling with skeleton crews, thanks a wave of Mass Effect 2-related sickies. I'm struggling with this particular disorder myself, but the boss is not answering the phone and I can only assume the worst: it is an epidemic. Indeed, that fact is official! In its first week at retail, the scintillating sequel has already found a home with two million eager gamers. ... [Read More]
