A recent article over at C&VG reveals that Project Natal was at first demonstrated to Iwata and other bigwigs as possible technology for a Nintendo peripheral. After witnessing the entire demonstration, Iwata was impressed, but still refused the technology for a number of reasons – leaving the coast clear for Microsoft to swing in and [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, but I love it when a fledgling games studio offers up their first big work for gamers to enjoy. I always hope to see the beginning of another big player’s career in the industry. Recently, we had the opportunity to enjoy that kind of [...]

We’ve all experienced it – enemies in videogames which seem to want us to beat them. Bosses that have attack patterns we can match in our sleep, enemies in shooters who seem to like head-butting our bullets, guards in stealth games who have 10 degree peripheral vision… the list goes on. The smarter gamers among [...]

In a recent article on Tech Radar, it was theorised in a British Medical Journal that prolonged gaming, which is almost exclusively and indoor activity apart from portable machines, is a primary factor in the rising cases of rickets over the last few years. Whereas gamers may once have chosen to run around outside kicking [...]

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is the first in the well-known Legacy of Kain Saga, initially released on the PlayStation in 1996 and ported to the PC in 1997. It has recently been abandoned on PC. If you’re active on the Playstation Network, it can be found there too. Blood Omen tells the tale of [...]

An article over at GameSpy takes a look at Ubisoft’s upcoming thoughts on how to handle piracy: by taking a page from the Big Book of Steam, and having games require an internet connection. Last year after the whole StarForce anti-piracy rootkit DRM (read: bad) debacle, Yves Guillemot said the company was taking steps to combat [...]

It’s the sand issue! We’ve flown to the far ends of the Earth to uncover the secrets behind Spec Ops: The Line, dug deep into the forgotten sands of Prince of Persia, and exploded the hidden truths of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Our reviews section is filled to bursting with the sexy Bayonetta, the sneaky [...]

This just in: Twitter is popular, MySpace is for teenagers and bands courting teenagers, computers are Important, the Internet exists, and the moon is somehow involved in the tides of the oceans! Ground-breaking news, gentlegamers, from the people over at Reuters. The best way to read their article “New arsenal of shooter games target older [...]

This is a short one, but things like this deserve to be seen. Ever want to see how an act of sheer dumb luck can win a game? Well, look no further than this crazy knife kill from Modern Warfare 2. Seriously, the guy just throws it in the air and it pegs some poor [...]

We’ve had time to get to grips with the amazing performance of Intel’s Core i5 series: the latest addition to what Intel calls the “high mainstream” segment. Unfortunately, the new chips have been priced just out of reach, and a lot of potential buyers have turned to AMD and their value-centric Athlon II range. While [...]

After many months of item-hunting, pox-spreading and monkey-bothering, the brilliant Tales of Monkey Island series finally comes to a close with Episode 5, Rise of the Pirate God (ROTPG). Be warned, if you haven’t played the previous episodes the following will contain spoilers. So do yourself a large favour — go play them and then [...]

I must admit, I’ve never been into modding of any kind – not with cars or PCs and especially not with consoles. But it seems that some people are into this kind of thing, I remember the case of a guy who built an entire retro rig of some kind, but inside was a PC [...]

I didn’t want to admit it, I really didn’t. As a loyal follower and advocate of the Devil May Cry series, I didn’t want to think that another extreme action game could come close to Devil May Cry’s sheer style and purity, let alone surpass it. But after thoroughly testing every aspect of Bayonetta, I [...]

People who know me well enough are usually aware of my obsession with a Rogue-like game called Crawl.

It seems that there are more Sony delays to report today. The upcoming PS3 motion-control system has been pushed back to around August.
