Eurogamer reviews Haze

By Gavin Mannion
May 22, 2008
in :  Gaming

So I posted yesterday about the horrible review that IGN gave Haze and I said I would look out for the Eurogamer one. Well on the one hand Eurogamer wasn’t nearly as harsh about the game as IGN was but on the other hand they didn’t love it either. Not to rehash yesterday but they raised most of the same …

Gears of War 2 scaring the press already?

By Gavin Mannion

Apparently not all the members of the press are equally as enthusiastic as ourselves over the upcoming Gears of War 2. Some are even a little unhappy that the game allows us to use fallen enemies as meat shields, and we can bet they are not going to be overly happy when they realise we can use live enemies either… …

Guitar Hero: World Tour – First Trailer

By Nick De Bruyne

I really, really hate it when game companies make these really lame adverts in attempt to look cool instead of giving us something worthwhile, like actual gameplay footage. This video is from Gametrailers.com where they featured the World Premier Trailer for the new Rockband, oh, I mean err, Guitar Hero game. I guess they decided to stick with the name "Guitar Hero" as "Rock Hero" sounds too similar to Rockband and, oh well, they are ripping the whole concept off anyway, so why even bother. In the video they make a point to emphasise the games features such as "Most realistic drums" and "Biggest Artists". I do think that this game has a lot of potential, but I think it's just not cool that they have so brazenly ripped off the concept of Rockband, only seeking to have better features. Where is the innovation people? One thing that does look interesting though, is the apparent ability to "Record and release your own singles". I'm interested to see how they are going to approach something like that.

I don’t like change… especially when it comes to things I really enjoy… Them taking Amstel of the market nearly put me in a mental institute for example. So when I saw that Yahtzee now has a flash new video player I was unimpressed, why change a winning formula? So I started watching this review in the wrong frame of …

The game designer formerly known as Puff CliffyB Diddly Daddy. Who cares?

This is something that got on my nerves. Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer for Gears of War 2 told Stephen Totilo from MTV that he no longer wants to be called “CliffyB”, the nickname that we all know and one that has been used for him since the 90’s. Last Updated: May 22, 2008

Metal Gear Solid – Retrospective Part 2

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2008
in :  Gaming
11

By Etienne Vlok When Metal Gear was released in 1987, the world was very much in love with Hollywood-style action movies, which mainly meant lame plots to set up completely over-the-top action. This carried over into the games of the day, which usually only challenged the gamer to be the last man standing by the end. When Hideo Kojima envisioned …

One of the oddest movies this year has a gaming spin off and you just know that you want to play it… Kung Fu Panda is being released towards the end of June and you get to take control of a Panda and fight your way to something… I struggle to understand how someone came up with this idea but …

Rare creates Xbox 360-Nintendo DS link with Viva Piñata

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2008
in :  Gaming
1

This is possibly the first 360/DS cross platform game of many, however this one isn’t going to make the retail version. Apparently the developers managed to cross the platform by using the Xbox 360 vision camera to read codes from the Nintendo DS screens so that you could ‘pass’ Pinata’s between the two consoles. Unfortunately it happened after the DS …
