Prince of Persia is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this Friday but what a lot of you don’t know is that a DS version has been in the works as well. Judging from the video it looks as though it might be just what the doctor ordered for DS owners. Something that is engaging, fun and simple. One …

While Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was an undeniably pretty game, the teaser trailer that was released just a few days ago has been causing quite a lot of buzz on forums and gaming sites with regards to whether or not the graphics were pre-rendered or real time. When asked by Gamezine in an interview that addressed the question that so many …

There is a story doing the rounds at the moment that apparently Microsoft are more supportive of creative staff than Sony, the story is based on an interview of Kudo Tsunoda by kikizo.com but in all honesty I just don’t believe it. While reading through the interview I get the distinct impression that Kudo thinks very highly of himself, which …

Sony are going to have to take a look at how they are upgrading the firmware on the PS3 as it is just a complete and utter waste of money at the moment. The latest firmware version (2.53) has been released and included in it is the ability to play flash movies full screen and… that’s it… Nothing more. Now …

The Witcher was initially released for the PC and was met with positive results (81/100 on Metacritic). The devolopers, CD Projekt Red recently announced that a console version subtitled Rise of the White Wolf, for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is in the works and promises to have new engine, streamlined combat, character models, animations as well as a more dynamic combat system. A trailer has just been released and while it doesn't show any footage of the actual gameplay it does a good job of setting the tone for what console gamers can expect. The game is set to be released on consoles somewhere around our spring in 2009 so if you are looking for an engaging action RPG that offers between 40 - 50 hours of gameplay at that time, this may very well be worth your money.

A guy who goes by the name of Robbie Cooper has been working on a rather interesting project that goes by the name of "Project Immersion". What he has done is project games onto a large camera lens so that he can film children playing video games whilst having them stare directly at the camera. Testing the children with different titles such as Call of Duty, Halo 3, Tekken, GTA IV and Star Wars: Battlefront, he has created a means to really study the different types of reactions and facial expressions that are generated whilst playing the games. The video is quite intriguing to say the least due to the fact that you have the children staring straight at you and the pull and immersion of the games is incredibly evident, although some of the faces will just make you laugh. If you are interested or want to know more about the project, follow the link below as it goes into quite a lot of depth about the entire project.

Gamesradar has put together a 3 page report on the unanswered plot points from Gears of War 2 and to be honest they are pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I have already said that I found the story to be weak in Gears 2 and the way it was setup for Gears 3 just annoyed me, however maybe …

[WARNING: Excessive use of bad language and violence against common household items] Anyone who has had a taste of online gaming will know that there are some seriously strange people out there. Join any American game however and you will usually be treated to an absolute barrage of high-pitched, whiny, disrespectful little monsters who do nothing but scream and shout about how they are going to own you and how everytime you owned them was only because of lag, luck or a whatever else they can think of. I have posted a video after the jump that is not what I would call "office friendly" as it involves a young american kid who has possibly the worst anger management problem that I have ever seen and his language will not impress your boss, so you have been warned. It really got me wondering about these kids, at the risk of sounding like all of our parents I ask: What has happened to the kids of today? ...The guy above might seem a little familiar to you, it's because there was a previous video up a while back of him playing Halo 3.... Games are supposed to be about having fun but it seems that so many people have just gotten so obsessed with proving their amazing skills that the concept of gaming for fun seems to be lost altogether. It's a sad day to see a young person having such an incredibly bad time with a game when we all know that we should all be relaxing and enjoying it.... He spills coke, further breaks his headset, cracks his Halo 3 poster and in what must be the most amazing moment of self-pwnage, actually manages to get the microphone of his headset shoved halfway down his throat (See it to believe it - 5min 18 secs in).... I myself have been having some frustration problems with control schemes and online issues with some of the more recent games but to take it out like these guys do is utterly ridiculous.... This sort of play is getting out of hand to the point that there are a few games that I have at the moment that I am playing online with public international matches because I am so tired of the guys who want nothing but to win, that I would rather suffer with a second of lag and play with a bunch of Japanese folks who just want to have some fun. It really does make a statement that I would rather play with people that I don't understand, with a second of lag, rather than have to sit through round after round of players who only use cheap tactics, camping and assorted other methods so that they can top the scoreboards. Thanks to all of those people, I just stopped playing a lot of the games that I really enjoyed and have now resorted to only playing with close friends that I know I can relax with.... It means that if I want to play online with random people, I don't get to choose between the hardcore no-fun bunch or the relaxed games just trying to have some fun. So the next time you are playing a game and being a douche-bag, try to remember that it's all about having fun. If your concept of fun is sitting in a corner surrounded by trip mines, up a hill with a sniper rifle and every sort of cheap trick you can think of to get to the top of the scoreboards, then you need to have a slap sent your way because nobody likes it and no one will go to be thinking about how cool you are.
