Its not the first time Buffy has appeared on a game and now Multiverse have announced plans to release an MMO based on the television series. The idea is to continue the story from where the television series finished off, where the player “will feel like they’re an important character in the ongoing story.” Last Updated: September 4, 2008

The biggest question hanging over LBP at the moment is how exactly will the gameplay work after you have created a level in the game. Well in this dev video we see how easy it is to create a race and then how the game actually works. I have to say it worries me that 3 of the sackboys disappeared …

GTAIV saves lives!

By Nick De Bruyne

Well that's pretty much what people like Jack Thompson won't be saying. Interestingly enough though, it is actually true. A young girl from America-Land who's surname just happens to be Norris (Coincidence? I don't think so) has acted like a true heroine by saving both of her parents from a car wreck. While the family of five was on their way to visit some relatives, their 2000 Jeep Cherokee swerved off the road, smashing into a guardrail and playing the roley-poley four times before finally coming to rest on its roof with a smashed out back window. The young girl heroically saved her parents as well as her siblings from the wreck as her mom was hanging upside down and her father was pinned against behind the wheel. So how is Grand Theft Auto involved? More after the jump. Here comes the odd and interesting part. When asked, the mother of the 11 year old Audrey Plique gave the following reason for the motivation behind the girls heroics: "She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us" I am not even going to ask why their 11 year old daughter is allowed to sit and watch them play a mature title like GTA IV but who am I to judge when the game is obviously a simulator that teaches us to recognise and take the necessary steps to prevent further injury or death. It goes both ways folks, if politicians say that children can learn murderous acts from the game due its realistic nature then they cannot deny that the game could teach good things as well. I am just thankful that she didn't run off to find the nearest hotdog vendor.

Fragile Trailer – Nintendo Wii

If you own a Wii and like Japanese RPG's then you may want to take a look at this. I personally didn't know a whole lot about "Flagire" but after watching this trailer my interest has risen significantly. The art style is gorgeous and it looks like the wiimote is going to be utilised very well, especially with tools like the torch. What is it about JRPG's that make me want to love them so much. I have never played through many of them but when I see trailers like this it makes me think that I am missing out on something really special. We will bring you more details about Fragile as soon as they are available.

New Battlefield Heroes Trailer looking fun, if not a bit strange

By Nick De Bruyne

The fact that this game is looking so great and is going to be completely free is still blowing my mind. Sure they will have their ways of making money but you don't need to have any part of that if you don't want to. I amy be wrong, but I think that this trailer serves to show off what can be done with custom character building in the game, which, if true, will probably involve spending money. Regardless of how strange some of it looks, it still looks like nothing but pure unadulterated fun on the PC. The game will be available for PC later this year and should be quite a blast. Hopefully if the game is successful we could see it moving over to consoles later on. How many of you readers are going to be downloading it? Leave a comment and let us know.

Damnit, I really was hoping this game was going to be good and I was even okay with the demo because EA still had time to improve the imbalances. However it seems that they haven’t done that and have released a horribly flawed game. IGN has just released their review and given it a 5/10 which is fantastic since EDGE …

Xbox 360 Reaching Its Limits?

By Nick De Bruyne
September 4, 2008

Bruce Everiss, the veteran games industry marketer of BruceOnGames.com has asked the question: Is the Xbox 360 reaching the limits of its capabilities? While he discuss how all consoles go through a similar development cycle, he makes an interesting point. The Xbox 360's architecture has been pretty straightforward and easy to use from the word go.... With this in mind we can only assume that developers will be able to squeeze all that the console has to offer out a lot sooner than usual and actually peak way earlier.... Bruce quotes Rod Fergusson, the senior producer for Gears of War at Epic Games from his in depth interview with website Gamasutra, where he said that " …with the two to three more years of optimization that we’ve had, we’re much further along than I think, three years ago, we thought we were going to get. So I think we’re certainly approaching the upper end of it, as far as what developers are able to do with it, but just looking at all the demos we saw today — ours and others — it’s clear that all the games just keep improving, and keep pushing that bar.” There is no doubt that the Gears of War games look absolutely stunning but it begs the question of whether or not we will see anything better ever released on the Xbox 360. While there are a lot of elements, such as artwork, that work towards the final presentation of a game we still have to wonder if we are already reaching the pinnacle of the 360's graphic abilities. The PS3 left developers struggling to squeeze all the power out of the Sony console at first but as time is going by they are most definitely starting to deliver mind-boggling visuals.... Spend nothing more than 5 minutes with Metal Gear Solid 4 and you will be blown away. This makes you wonder how much more is still possible as developers learn new and interesting ways to utilise the PS3's cell processors. Both HD consoles still have quite a long life ahead of them and it's going to be quite interesting to see if the 360 is capable of more than its current offerings and whether or not the PS3 is going to still forge ahead. Bruce states that "Just like previous generations the absolute limit of capabilities is never reached, these systems are very complex and there is only so much time that can be put into wringing that last ounce of capability out of them. However it must be true that now the developers are nearly getting the most out of the 360 and that further improvements will be slower to come.... If he is right then it will mean that the Xbox 360 will probably improve as time goes by, although the development will be a lot slower and less dramatic as what we have seen over the past two years.
