Joystiq has posted up their first hands on impressions for the upcoming Bond tie-in game Quantum of Solace. I don’t know if it’s a hangover from Golden Eye or if it’s based in something a bit more recent but the expectations for this movie tie in are unusually high and what is even more suprising is that the game seems …

Madden 2009 got released this week and while we don’t get excited about it, the Americans go nuts over this title. The top 5 games this week in the States according to VGChartz are Madden (360), Madden (PS3), Madden (PS2), Madden (Wii) followed by Madden (PSP) and to round it off in 15th spot is Madden for the original Xbox …

Sacred 2, the upcoming adventurous that used to be a 360 console exclusive before jumping ship to the PS3 as well has released a new trailer. There is a lot of buzz backstage for this game and I have to say that it’s about time we received another good RPG to balance the FPS and hack and slash titles we …

This developer diary video for Mercenaries 2 has an interview with the games director, Cameron Brown in which he discusses the importance and fun of all the destructive elements and possibilities in the game. Yesterday we posted up a trailer for Mercenaries 2 that showed off nothing but a huge amount of explosions going off in the game and you may be interested to know that Mercs 2 pretty much promises that there will be no limits to where and how you use all the massive firepower in the game. Is all the destruction a bit much? More after the jump. It does look amazing the way that you can level entire buildings in the game but I do think that some of it is rather questionable. Especially the one part in the developer diary where you see a character fire off an RPG at a block of flats only to have the entire building collapse as if it were a planned implosion. Yes, I will admit that it is still damn cool but it's just feels like its a little over the top. It almost feels like if you sneeze to hard you may take out half a city and the crazy thing is that it actually looks like you may really be able to destroy entire cities if you like. Regardless, the game is looking pretty good and should be a lot of fun if it plays as good as it looks in the videos so far and I was really happy to hear at the end of the video that the game has co-operative play.

Remember that little posting yesterday about the possibility of Gearbox making the next iteration of the Halo franchise? Well it has now officially been confirmed as a rumour by Gearbox themselves. Destructoid dropped Gearbox a line and asked them about it and received this response. Last Updated: August 27, 2008

The question that gets a lot of fanboys hot under the collar has also started to irritate Hideo Kojima himself. While speaking to Eurogamer he mentions “in the near future I hope they’ll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware,” So that’s not a denial, is this a glimmer …

Our local game developer, Waggy, has updated his local blog and has given us a bit of insight into what they are up to… and also the fact that we are going to be seeing the new Xbox 360 avatars in upcoming games. Okay to be truthful he updated the blog a while ago and I just forgot to post …

If you don't mind the incredibly crappy quality of this video as well as the bad focus and background noise, then you might be interested in checking out this brand new 7 minute gameplay video of Fable 2. As explained in our recent article about Fable 2, there is a lot to be excited about here and the game looks like it might actually deliver on all the promises that Peter Molyneux has made this time around. From the camera movements and characters on screen it looks like this video is actually showing off cooperative play. What interests me is that it actually looks like you will be able to play co-op from the very beginning of the game.
