Blizzard recently surprised the media and long-time fans alike by announcing at BlizzCon that StarCraft 2 will be split into a trilogy, with each game focusing on the single-player campaign for one of the game’s three well-known races. This led to a flurry of speculation and more than a little consternation among wallet-conscious fans. The three games now have working …

I am not entirely sure what the deal is with Wii Music. How can you call something a game when you have such little affect on what is actually going on. To be honest, it looks as if I could get the same experience out of switching the radio on and handing out a couple of household goods to my friends and telling them to pretend that they are playing instruments. While there are currently only three reviews on Metacritic for Wii Music ( The other two being Gamespy: 70/100 and IGN: 50/100) I was rather amazed to see that 1UP had scored it a 91. It's starting to make me wonder if being a gamer means the same thing as it did a couple of years back. The short except from the review says the following: "Wii Music may have a hard time winning over the skeptics who just want to laugh at it, but give the game the chance it deserves. You just might realize it's pretty damn fun being in on the joke." Am I one of those skeptics that she is talking about? Maybe. I won't know until I have tried it. To score it in the same range as titles such as Resident Evil 4, Okami and Metroid Prime 3 just feels off to me. But hey, what the hell do I know, I am not one of the gazillion people out there who have forked out money on the Wii, even though they barely know how to turn a PC on. Maybe now that gaming has finally taken off, hardcore gamers are going to feel even more alienated than we were before. Maybe I should buy Wii Music. I don't want to feel left when all of my aunts start talking about it.

The game puts you into the helmet of Sergeant Matt Baker as he not only commands his squads through Operation Market Garden but also deals with some mental issues of his own.To be honest the game seems to be a semi rip-off of the Band of Brothers TV series.... The beginning of the story plays out in a way that reminds me heavily of some of the elements used in the "Lost" TV show and then pulls you back a few days, so that you have to play back up to that point.... One of the cutscenes went on for quite a while and by the time I would usually start itching to skip, I found myself sitting back and watching as if it was a TV show. I was pleasantly surprised to also find that the game was significantly longer than I had originally though and actually had me thinking the game was about to end on a number of occasions, only to have the plot thicken and the next mission begin. The entire campaign should take you around 10 hours to complete, depending on how you approach the missions but a second play through is definitely not out of the question considering that you can approach missions differently.... When it comes to the gameplay visuals however, you will find that there will be times when the game looks fantastic and then 10 minutes later you will be running around in a really bland area.... Basically, it is a camera that zooms in and slows the action down to show off the games realistic gore system, which often has grenades blowing limbs off of soldiers, if not tearing them completely in half. This concerned me when I first saw the videos but was pleasantly surprised to see that it only happens rarely, keeping it fun and allowing you to appreciate it, rather than abusing it to give the game an unnecessary action feel.... This does change the game significantly and be warned, if you are one of those hardcore players that likes to run in and jump like a bunny while simultaneously getting three headshots on three noobs, then this game is not for you.... By pulling your left trigger down you are able to tell the selected squad (such as the MG team) to set up in a certain spot and then by using the left trigger again and pointing at a group of enemies, you can order them to use suppressing fire so that you can get up to some flanking mischief.... All of this is done from your characters perspective and while you can also check the lay of the land in your menu, the fact that it relies on your own field of view means that it gets you very involved in the process and ultimately adds to the experience.... Everytime I ordered them to go upstairs, instead of doing the logical thing and walking up the stairs, they decided to do an entire lap of the building the other way, which just happened to be the side that all the Germans were firing from.... When playing with your friends, be sure to not throw grenades at them As far as controls are concerned, they took quite a bit getting used to and are fairly different to the control schemes found in most other shooters.... You can sit back on your coach while your squads are in cover and take some time to scan the battlefield, look for places to flank or a piece of cover to setup your MG42 and then when you are ready, rain hell down upon your enemies.... Gameplay: 8/10 [A great mix of action and strategy] Presentation: 8/10 [ It has it's ups and downs but still good looking overall] Sound: 7.5/10 [ Corrian, lay down suppressing fire!]

You knew this had to happen and it is… some people who have managed to get their grubby paws on an early copy of LBP are now selling them on eBay for an extreme profit to try and cash in on the current debacle. If you are one of the people who thinks that this is a good idea then …

According to the latest Atari release schedule the Xbox 360 has been given another timed exclusive, though this one is a very short timed exclusive. Legendary is coming to the Xbox 360 on the 31st of October (Halloween) and only then to the PS3 and PC in November sometime, so at worst the 360 gets a one month exclusive and …

Ths is possibly the only type of award the Uwe Boll will ever be nominated for… In fact he has three movies in the top 10 worst Video Game Movies of all time, now that’s quite an achievement.
