For a couple of years now, the Grand Theft Auto franchise has become internationally infamous for it’s mature content. The media loves to bash it, parent like to blame it and Jack Thompson want’s the Take Two CEO’s mother to feel sorry about it. After spending a good amount of time in GTA IV, I realised that there are some …

EA have released a short video featuring Chris Haslam showing off how the control system for Skate It is going to work on the Nintendo DS. I actually think the control system could work really well and the game could be very cool. It just comes down to how they pull off the game itself. I hope they find a …

Just catching up on some older news here. It was announced last week that Codemasters has managed to secure the rights to create the next Formula 1 game after Sony decided they didn’t want it anymore. I honestly think this is a big mistake by Sony, I have often been asked if the 360 had a Formula 1 game and …

Destructoid have posted an article explaining why they think that a one console future is something that should be avoided at all costs. They make some very good points, discussing the problems that would arise if there was to be no competition. They do however go on to discuss when a one console future would actually make sense and why. …

Ninten-dalo: What if Halo was created by Nintendo?

By Nick De Bruyne

Ask yourself, what would Halo have been like if it was developed by Nintendo? Well, you need not wonder anymore. A video has been made recreating the wonderful experience that we have all sadly missed out on. The video features many of Nintendos stereotypical moments, with a not so typical ending. I would like to take a moment now to thank whoever it was that took time out of his life to create a look at Halo in an alternate universe, because without people like you, it would be left to our imagination, which means less time for gaming. So thanks.

GRID Demo: First Impressions

By Nick De Bruyne
May 9, 2008

Ok, so I finally got my grubby paws on the GRID demo and have given it a good spanking to see what's in store for us. Firstly, the visuals are truly stunning. It's not very often that you load a game up and it lands up looking exactly like the impressive screenshots that you had seen on the net. Im not exactly sure what they have done, but I think the demo taught my 720p Bravia to display 1080p, because this is one of the sharpest and smoothest looking games I have ever seen. As some of you know this game uses the EGO engine that was used for DiRT, however the magicians at Codemasters have somehow managed to make the game look even better and run at nearly twice the frame rate that DiRT was sporting.... Not only that, but the presentation of the game is inspiring with beautiful menus, great replays, and a really gritty yet clean (Only Codemasters can pull that off) look to the game. The car damage is also really great, with bits and pieces flying off as well as textures coming in to indicate that you just scraped your really expensive car along a wall for 100m.... Keeping alone the same lines as the last couple of Race Driver games, the driving is a blend of arcade simplicity and simulation driving making it extremely accessible to any casual gamer that wants a fun driving game to play but couldn't be bothered with sims like Forza, GT5 or the GTR games. The demo comes with 3 modes, a DTM race on a GP circuit, a Drift session around a Japanese industrial area and a Muscle car race on a San Francisco street track. The DTM and muscle car race are both available for play online in the demo as well, sadly the drifting was not included as it is a solo session and not actually a race. I was really interested to see how the Drift mode was going to feel, as I have been disappointed with Drift modes in most of the driving games that have been available lately.... Once I had put some time into figuring out the mechanics of it all, I found the drifting to be very solid and rewarding, definitely the closest thing I have felt to real drifting in a game that has put a dedicated mode into the lineup.... Turbo's whistle, engines roar, tires yelp as you hop your car over a bump and into a bit of a slide, it really is fantastic, even the crowd's react to the event of the race.... The rumble has been so carefully utilised and tweaked so that if you run over a runoff strip, you can feel which side of the car is running wide and when your car lands after a bit of a jump, you can almost feel your engine rattling about in the engine bay. I could actually go on about the little things in this game for ages, but since this is only the demo, I will leave all of that till we get our hands on the full game and can give it a proper review. At 795mb, its not a small download, but if you think that you are the type of gamer who might like this sort of thing, then download it and try it for yourself.
