Alan Wake is Finally Available on PC
7 years I’ve waited for this! Alan Wake was first announced way back in 2005, back when Remedy had only just finished Max Payne 2, but after 5 years in development and the horribly justified cancellation of the PC version, it came out as an Xbox 360 exclusive back in 2010. Now, 2 years later, we can finally experience it at its best.
Mass Effect 3 ‘Take Back Earth’ CGI Trailer
I am currently on a mad rush to play through Mass Effect 1 and 2 again in time for the launch of 3 next month. Thanks to a foolish reformat of the wrong hard drive last year, I have no savefile to import into the game. And I MUST continue the story with MY Shepard. I couldn’t bear it any other way. Meanwhile, there’s a new frankly excellent cinematic trailer out for the absurdly anticipated 3rd installment. Click below to see it.
The Best Superbowl ‘Big Game’ Trailers
Every year, Americans host a ‘big game’. Something about football, only played with hands, not feet? I don’t know, sport is something that my brain doesn’t understand any more. Still, the best bit seems to be when the two sides have a rest and watch 40 minutes of movie trailers. That actually sounds pretty good to me.

VGAs – A Bunch of Game Trailers
The Video Game Awards were this weekend and some games won some prizes. More importantly were the new game trailers that were released, and I’ve embedded 3 of my favourites below for your viewing pleasure. Check out the new Alan Wake game, awesome footage of Mass Effect 3, and the first footage of Naughty Dog’s new game The Last of Us.
Gunpoint – Spying, Climbing and Jumping out of Windows
Gunpoint is an indie game being developed by PC games journalist Tom Francis. If you read PC Gamer like me, you’ll probably know him for his writing more so than his game development skills. Nonetheless, he seems to be doing a pretty good job of creating his first game. In it, you play a spy who has to break into office blocks, hack computers and take out guards before making a daring escape, quite often by leaping out of a third story window. But that’s not even the best bit. You get a gadget called the Crosslink, which basically lets you rewire any electrical device to almost any other in the building, allowing for some very creative puzzle solving…
Video Game Music by London Philharmonic Orchestra
The London Philharmonic Orchestra has recorded an entire album’s worth of video game music. It features music from the likes of Battlefield, Final Fantasy, even the Mario Brothers theme – all in fully orchestrated glory. If you have a Spotify account you can give it a listen here. Read More ››
Review – Renegade Ops
Last weekend we spent our time festering at Multiplay’s i44, not sleeping and eating a horiffic number of doughnuts. While we were there, we blasted our way through Renegade Ops with our two mates Jon and Sam. Made by the same team who gave us Just Cause 2, and built in that very same engine, we expected mindless carnage and plenty of explosions. It certainly didn’t disappoint.
Gorgeous Skyrim Time Lapse
Skyrim has well and truly taken over our lives these past few weeks. The game sold so many copies in its first week that the total player count was higher than that of Modern Warfare 3 at one point. So, there’s a good chance if you’re reading this, you too have been busily questing your way through one of the biggest games of the year, and have explored its snowy wilderness. Which brings me to this stunning time lapse video of Skyrim’s world. Its quite something…
Review – Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
This glorious glut of gaming goodness continues as another reason to dust off the PS3 came along in the form of Uncharted 3 last month. Its predecessor, Among Thieves is the best game the SonyBox has to offer, and so I went into Nathan Drake’s third adventure with high hopes and expectations. With strong characters, epic action set-pieces, and unparalleled visual design wrapped up in a bombastic globe-trotting plot, it gives fans of the series more of exactly what we wanted. So, why did I trade it in the day after I finished it? Let me tell you…
The Humble Introversion Bundle
It’s once again time to get some fantastic games for almost no money. The latest Humble Bundle is out, and it contains all of Introversion’s back catalogue. So, if you don’t already own Uplink, Darwinia, Defcon, or Multiwinia, and would be willing to part with a single quid (or indeed, less), check it out. The company has been struggling to survive for the last few years, so I truly hope this makes them a crapton of money so they can continue making Subversion, which they had to abandon recently. Amusing trailer is below.
Skyrim is Almost Here…
And it has a new trailer. It’s very nice, and rather subdued, especially compared to most game trailers we are treated to, choosing to simply show off some of the locations and NPC’s we’re all likely to explore and meet once Friday hits. Yep, just 3 days to go. Man, I intend to get so utterly lost in this…
Battlefield 3 Launch Trailer
Only one week to go before we can have a battle on a field for the 3rd time. Click below to see the awesome singleplayer launch trailer.
