Comments Off on Boom Blox Announced

I have been playing a lot of Wii over the last holiday weekend so it is possible that I am now more susceptible to Wii games but the press release that just landed in my inbox really has gotten me intrigued… Steven Spielberg and EA Games have come together to create a game for the Wii, now when I think …

Killzone 2 delayed, no in-game XMB mentioned?

So these are the two biggest stories coming out of the EU PlayStation day. The much anticipated in-game XMB was not mentioned at all even though Sony knows it is a highly anticipated feature. Honestly I feel this one thing is the biggest reason why Xbox Live is still the superior online service and is not currently being challenged by …

Xbox Live: GTA IV on top

By Nick De Bruyne

Comments Off on Xbox Live: GTA IV on top

Now, this might not surprise you, but GTA IV is currently the most played game on Xbox Live. See for yourself: GTA IV Call of Duty 4 Halo 3 Guitar Hero III Gears of War Rock Band Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 Iron Man Demo FIFA 08 Forza Motorsport 2 It does however surprise me. Sure the game has sold tons of copies, but with the single player element being so incredibly strong and with die hard fans of COD4 and Halo 3 still going strong, I didn't think that it would make it right to the top. The real question at hand is how long it will stay up there. The multiplayer sure is a lot of fun but I feel that a lot of gamers will slowly start making their way back to their favourite online T-bag fests over the next two weeks. It's really great to see that GTA's multiplayer element was built so well as developers usually leave it as an afterthought, especially when it comes to games like GTA IV where so much time and effort has been put into the games single player campaign. I hope that other developers take a serious hint from this and realise that building a strong multiplayer element to their game can increase both the sales and longevity of their product. I can only hope that the developers of Prototype, who have cancelled the games multiplayer to focus on the single player, are taking a long hard look at statistics like these.

Now that GTA IV has come and gone we need to all start looking for a new big name title… Granted Ninja Gaiden isn’t quite in the same league (or hemisphere) as GTA but it does have a huge cult following. This time around they are also adding in some easier difficulty levels so us mere humans can play as …

Comments Off on Resistance 2 Demo Today

So there is going to be a Resistance 2 demo today… but unfortunately it is by invite only and I didn’t crack an invite. It could be because it is being held at Sony Day in London this afternoon, however I am sure someone is going to leak something after the event so make sure you keep your eyes peeled. …
