Tom Hatfield — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:58:24 +0000

Hello and welcome to the fourth instalment in Gaming Daily’s attempt to save the world! We’ve now made it to the end of the month, and that means we get our report card. At the end of each month the council of funding nations decides how well you’ve protected the earth from the scum of [...]

Company of Heroes

The GD Collective — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:00:50 +0000

Craig: So, because we are so god damn on trend again we’ve been playing Company of Heroes, which is what, 2 years old now? Paul: Something like that. But with sales and stuff on recently, these games get refreshed in our collective consciousness. So… we’re justified in our unforgivable finger-off-the-pulseness. Craig: Yeah but I’ve had [...]

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review

Ed Fenning — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:38:38 +0000

Picture the scene if you will. You’re at a bar, and an attractive member of the opposite sex is coyly looking at you. After exchanging surreptitious glances, they approach and the real flirting is about to begin. Except as soon as they open their mouth, a stream of liquid projectile poo comes out of it. [...]

X-Com Diary – Arms Dealing for Fun and Profit

Tom Hatfield — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:31:00 +0000

As you may recall from last time, we had just finished our first engagement with the aliens and defeated them without losing a man, pretty good going I think. This week I’m going to talk to you about loot, research and manufacturing for profit. Don’t worry though, we’ll also be taking on another battle. First [...]

Mafia II

Craig Lager — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:00:44 +0000

Each time I dragged myself out of bed in Empire Bay I looked out of the window to check the weather. On a gorgeously bright day, a silk shirt would do. If it was a little overcast, a suit and hat. If it was raining or night time, I’d add a trench coat. Everything had [...]

Dawn of War Speculation

Tom Hatfield — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:45:48 +0000

A wise man once said; “Good writers steal from other writers, great writers steal outright”. Right, rationalisation out of the way, it’s time for me to steal an article from Rock Paper Shotgun. Way back before the release of Dawn of War 2 Kieron Gillen wrote an article assessing the odds of various races of [...]

Awesome Soccer World 2010

Tom Hatfield — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:50:49 +0000

Historically football games come in two flavours. The expensive, licensed, graphics heavy and feature laden behemoths that are Fifa and PES, and the small scale indie efforts that rely on simple, effective gameplay. The superlatively named Awesome Soccer World is firmly one of the latter. Most football gamers will recognise the overhead view and one [...]
