If you’ve never heard of Gary’s Mod for Half Life 2, it’s basically a mod environment type-thing that allows people to mess around and do whatever they want. While I did nothing more than creating some huge spinning tyre thing with trolleys falling on it, some people take tools like that and make incredible creations from them. This short machinima …
I have always said nothing but kind words about the original Mafia. In many ways I found it to be way ahead of its time. The story was fantastic, the game itself (although really difficult) was great fun and it really flew under a lot of peoples radars. Well Mafia II has just been released in the US and will …
I had some hands on time with Medal of Honor at E3 and absolutely loved it but the beta that was recently released wasn’t exactly a resounding success. EA received a ton of complaints around hit detection, lack of ammo, weapon balancing, support actions and graphics. The good thing however is that they appear to have taken them all to …

EA, you bastards! Look what you’ve done! at some point this generation, EA decided they weren’t making enough money from the sale of games, especially the sale of used games – where they make not a damned thing. They implemented “Project 10 Dollar,†an incentive of sorts to get people to purchase their games new instead of 2nd hand. New …
All the big news at the moment is about Gran Turismo but honestly MotorStorm is a far more exciting title for me and this new video shows the things I really want to see in a racing title. Huge damage, explosions, screams and no holds barred cornering. MotorStorm Apocalypse is looking absolutely fantastic and in my mind is still the …
