Red Dead Redemption REVIEW

2010-06-26T02:11:00.007+01:00

It's been a while since my last post (almost a year!) So I thought I'd post a quick review of Red Dead Redemption- written in one go without a read-back.At first I expected this game to be almost a carbon-copy of Grand Theft Auto, replacing the towering buildings with quaint wooden houses, the trendy bars and clubs with saloons and the hookers with... Well, hookers.But really, in essence, Red

Review – God of War III

2010-03-23T21:25:00.002Z

More than 5 years ago the God of War series started Kratos on a journey that has been as exciting as it has been bloody. The final installment of the series is here, and it doesn’t disappoint.If you are a fan of the series, then you already know that God of War and God of War II were remastered and released for the PlayStation 3 in the God of War Collection (see our review here), and God of War

Review: Just Cause 2 (TheSixthAxis)

2010-03-23T20:38:00.004Z

A grizzled, leather-clad anti-hero with a grudge bigger than his revolver? Check. A massive, sprawling expanse of land with more vehicles than Arnold Clark? Tick that one too. How about building razing explosions, or guns so powerful they’d make Van Damme blush? It’s all here, and whilst it might sound like every cheesy, over the top 80’s action film you ever watched, Rico Rodriguez’s second

Review: Just Cause 2 (Joystiq)

2010-03-23T20:32:00.004Z

Now, don't misunderstand me, because you should absolutely buy Just Cause 2. It's got a lush, almost dauntingly large world to explore (and destroy); it's got a combination of grappling hook and parachute travel that lets you swoop through the world in a way that's just as, if not more thrilling than anything the Spider-Man series has ever cooked up; and it's got a lot of explosions.But the

Arkham Asylum gets some red hot DLC action!

2009-09-26T17:00:00.006+01:00

Readers of this blog may be aware that I am a huge fan of the recent Batman game. If you've yet to play the game the I strongly recommend you download the demo and if you've already done that, then buy the game already!(For more info about the game, check out my review of Batman: Arkham Asylum)Along with an amazing story the game also offers an addition "Challenge" mode in which Batman (and

SKATE 3 Confirmed, May 2010

2009-09-15T18:37:00.003+01:00

It's official- Skate 3 will be on the shelves by MAY 2010. Great news for all Skate fans, but it does beg the question: Why are they releasing so many Skate titles in so little time? Of course the answer is for the money, obviously, but I'm still having fun with Skate 2.Personally I think that they should work on some more DLC. It couldn't be that hard to make updates to add more tricks into the

Just Cause 2 Dev Diary

2009-09-13T20:39:00.002+01:00

After watching the video I can't help but think Just Cause 2 looks like a cross between Spider-man, Bionic Commando and Mercenaries which is no bad thing. The graphics look great for a sandbox style game with lots of detail when it comes to clouds and the tree rich mountains. Hopefully the gameplay will be just as good as the graphics, with more variation when it comes to the missions over the

Review- Batman: Arkham Asylum

2009-09-12T21:40:00.011+01:00

I've been awaiting this game for a while, ever since I heard that they were scrapping the idea for a "Batman: The Dark Knight" game. To date I can only think of ONE successful film-to-game adaptation that worked- "Spiderman 2". That game was brilliant, it had everything; free-roaming, sandbox web-slinging that was amazing fun, fighting (although that needed some work) and a story that worked for

PS Store Updates! (10-09-09)

2009-09-10T20:16:00.003+01:00

Well, it's that time of the week again when Sony adorn us with sprinkles of stuff on the PS Store. As always I'll be sharking the store for freebies- the most anticipated of which are those Dynamic Themes.Although, as I write this I have heard that they have been having problems with the Sackboy and Motostorm themes, leaving us with the exclusive Wipeout theme.Saying that, I have only just found

Assassins Creed 2 walkthrough video

2009-09-09T22:17:00.004+01:00

This new footage shows off gameplay better than any trailer ever could including; the economic system, both buying items and paying mercenaries, new weapons, methods of attack, the improved eagle vision, stealthier kills. Assassins Creed 2 is looking a lot better then the first with more to do and more way to take down those targets.

Eidos Set Traps For Pirates In Arkham Asylum

2009-09-09T21:20:00.003+01:00

Eidos has set a rather sneaky trap in Batman: Arkham Asylum in an attempt to clamp down on pirating. As one pirate recently discovered, the vital Glide ability removes itself from the game if a legitimate copy isn’t being played. A message on the official forums highlighted this problem for the previously mentioned pirate:“Cheshirec_the_cat (The Pirate)Hi!I’ve got a problem when it’s time to

What 3.00 Should Of Looked Like

2009-09-09T21:02:00.002+01:00

Don’t get me wrong 3.00 was ok but nothing special, most people think a full number update means a major update but it seems Sony don’t think the way we do. Anyway check out the video below of what 3.00 should of looked like, it truly is amazing and hope someone at Sony will see the video and be able to make it happen.

Back to its Roots- Sonic gets Hi Def and 2D

2009-09-09T18:49:00.008+01:00

First off let me apologise to the lack of updates these past few weeks, both Krease and I have been extremely busy these past few weeks. My work load has settled down for the next few weeks, so hopefully I'll be getting back to my regular posting!With that out the way, let us cast our minds back, to when Sonic was good... Way, way back. Most Sonic fans will probably remember the blue hedgehogs

Heavy Rain Prequel/Sequel- Potential DLC?

2009-08-27T19:55:00.004+01:00

Although the game hasn't been released yet, Heavy Rain (set to come out early 2010... Hopefully VERY early) is already undergoing talks about additional downloadable content.In a recent interview with David Cage, founder of Quantic Dream, Cage revealed they are in talks with Sony to continue the storyline of the four main characters in Heavy Rain. He believes that players will get attached to the

2009-08-25T19:15:00.004+01:00

I don't normally link to simply link to another website and call it news, but I thought that this particular article was worth a look. The Lens of Truth directly compares new games on each console, to see which one is worth getting.I won't ruin the conclusion for you, but I will say that personally I think the PS3 is the console to get Batman: Arkham Asylum, simply for the exclusive Joker content
