Dead Space Exclusive DLC Crosses The Line [Update]

By Nick De Bruyne

Now I don't know about you, but I don't really mind exclusive DLC for multi-platform titles, it makes perfect business sense.... They are actually going to be giving a considerable advantage to PS3 owners. When I read the news about the DLC and what it will offer, I quickly realised that not many people have actually figured out what the heck is actually going on here.... TalkPlaystation.com reports that: (check out the part that I put in bold) "You’ll be getting an Obsidian Rig which will be available from the Playstation store once you log in the game. The main character will get a suit that has Playstation 3 themed colours (Black, red, blue and a little bit of yellow), increased toughness and more inventory slots."... PS3 owners are going to have a tougher suit and more inventory slots? While you may not think that this is such a big deal, I really think that this is pushing things a little. It's saying, "Here consumers, buy this game on our platform, you will be stronger and better if you play it on our system instead of the oppositions". They have taken the fun factor out of their plan and just gone straight for the profit factor. TalkPlaystation then go on to say that: "You can get this item for free from October 24 till November 7.... This is an obvious attempt to get people to buy the game at launch, which I don't really mind but the fact that it will become a purchasable item after a while makes me think back to the horse armour in Oblivion. I love DLC, I think that it is a great step forward for gaming. However, it is supposed to add value to games, extra levels, more fun or an extended experience with a game that you love.... It makes it clear that the people pushing this idea are just in it to score some extra money from an already expensive piece of software. An exclusive suit or outfit sounds awesome, the fact that it is going to change the gaming experience for the two different console owners, does not.

First Local LBP level!

Believe it or not, South Africans can be creative too. A few lucky local residents have been able to get their hands on an LBP beta key and have been having a whole lot of fun without us. While the creator of this level needed some coaxing (almost bordering on blackmail and assault), he finally agreed to let me put one of his levels up on our site. You may be used to those Americans who will either make a level that can do you taxes, or a level that teaches children about how babies are made, but this is none of that nonsense. Just some good old fun that also includes a skateboard and a big ramp. If you are from South Africa and have made a groovy LBP map, send us the link and we will try and get it up as well!

QOTW_RL.jpg Question of the Week is back, which means it’s Monday! Last week we had to give it a skip because I was running around in the bush with the Far Cry 2 developers, so I do apologise. For those of you who don’t speak “Halo” or even “Counter-Strike”, the title is pretty simple. I want to know if you have ever used any knowledge or skill that you learned from videogaming in the real world. Held your breath whilst firing a rifle for the first time? What about the time you impressed your grandparents with some World War 2 knowledge, thanks to Call of Duty? Let us know your awesome story and you could win yourself a copy of ** for the **. If you don’t write us a story then you can’t win anything, so do it!

Loco Roco 2 Trailer!

Comments Off on Loco Roco 2 Trailer!

If you have a PSP, but missed out on Loco Roco, then you really missed out on something quite special. If you have a PSP and didn't play it because you thought your friends would snicker at you, then you really should be ashamed of yourself. Loco Roco is fun, happy and interesting to say the least and the sequel is nearly here. You can't watch this video and tell me that it doesn't look like its going to be a ton of fun and a bag of laughs.

"Fiddy" Sequel picked up by THQ

50cent.jpg I can only assume that there was a veritable amount of fist pounding and 'Yeee biaaatches" coming out of the G-Unit Headquarters this weekend. The Reason? We have received news that the previously cancelled "sequel" to BulletProof has now been picked up by THQ. This new "Fiddy" title was dropped by Activision along with Ghost Busters and Brutal Legend shortly after their merge with Vivendi. We can only hope that all the other titles get picked up by publishers as well because no one likes to see a title disappear into the abyss (actually, I can think of a few). The strange thing is that I had actually heard a while back that the early impressions of the game were actually looking fairly promising albeit in a "Gears of War in the Middle East with lots and lots of Bling" sort of way.

R-Type Dimensions 'TGS 2008' trailer Now I wouldn’t normally post a trailer like this unless there was something interesting about it. Thankfully there is, have a look 30 seconds in at the “arcade” mode that actually attempts to “simulate” you playing the game on an actual arcade cabinet. It does however seem that the camera moves rather erratically in this …

Fallout 3 'TGS 2008' trailer HD Somehow Fallout 3 trailers always make me happy. It must be the combination of the Music, explosions and death, but they never fail to bring a smile to my face. I do think we can safely now say that Fallout 3 will just be Oblivion with guns by the looks of things. Last Updated: …
