Now it’s no secret that I don’t understand or like most of the European PlayStation adverts. The this is living campaign was a complete abomination for example. However when they started the Black Orchid campaign I thought they had finally gotten a decent head of marketing and the weird was finally behind them… Well that appears to not be the …

So the Internet has gone nuts with the release of the debut footage for Banjo-Kazooie… This title has a lot riding on it for the Xbox 360 and so far its reception has been very warm indeed… however I am just not convinced. I really didn’t think much of this video and while some parts look quite cool I have …

While digging around for something else entirely, I found this list on games and their movie counterparts. No, not the terrible ‘movie of the game’, but films that happen to have the same name as a game. But this brings up a more interesting thought – no-one ever made a game called ‘Predator’ (that wasn’t tied to the movies)? Staying …

The guys over at IGN have put together another article where they name some of the worst game covers of all time. Some of the terrible covers come down to nothing but a terrible idea with even worse execution, others are down to mishaps (*cough* Okami). Some of the covers are from old systems like the 3DO and others are more recent. It seems that no matter what we do, we will always suffer through the occasional horrid game cover. I will never forgive my Orange Box Cover for causing slight blindness in my left eye. I curse the guy who was responsible for that cover, damn you neon orange man.

The new Assault Heroes will be available on Xbox Live on Wednesday with more cooperative shooter action. Featuring new weapons, more varied environments (including space) and the ability to hijack enemy vehicles, Assault Heroes 2 should be good fun. The first game was fairly successful pulling an average rating of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic.com. The game will be …

So after the monumental mistake of last week where Gametrailers mistakenly labelled the PS3 video as a 360 video they have now returned with the correct labels and comparison video. Hopefully this incident hasn’t hurt Gametrailers to much but I have a feeling we are going to hear about it everytime the 360 looks better than the PS3 version. Anyway …

  Ask not what your community can do for you but what you can do for your community…. Yeah that looks as stupid typing it as it most probably does reading it but it fits into the posting so it’s staying… As you know I am idiotically excited about the upcoming Alone in the Dark game and I really do …

It’s getting quite difficult to ignore these stories of the PS3’s hardware failures. When they first started cropping up I was under the impression they were just odd stories here and there showing us that the PS3 isn’t infallible… However these stories are increasing in number quite rapidly now. Most of them seem to be based around the Blu-Ray laser …
