Movie Review – Sucker Punch

Posted on April 5, 2011 by BangClickReload

Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch! Constantly half-naked women, martial arts, guns, robots, ninjas, dragons, planes, trains, and bombs! What’s not to like? At least, that’s what we thought when we went to see it for free…

Half Life 3 announced

Posted on April 1, 2011 by BangClickReload

It is a glorious day. After years of delays, speculation and anticipation, Valve have officially announced Half Life 3. Gordon Freeman has been absent from gaming for far too long, but he’s finally returning. We all knew it was coming, but until now we’ve had no information and not even a single screenshot to gawp at, but overnight that has all changed. Read on for all the details.

Currently Playing: Brotherhood, Starcraft2, Undead Nightmare

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Matt Clarke

Once again I find myself in the middle of a trio of games conveniently giving me an excuse to write up another of these little ramblings. Two of these games I started in 2010, and the other is also from last year but I decided to endure the inexplicable 5 month delay for the PC version… Assassins Creed Brotherhood was very much worth the wait, I have a few missions left of Starcraft 2, and I’ve honestly no idea how many more zombies I’ll be killing in Undead Nightmare, but I just unlocked the blunderbuss which should make everything a lot easier from here on.

Review – Crysis 2

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Matt Clarke

The sequel to what is widely regarded as the best-looking-game-ever-made had a lot to live up to, only this time it isn’t a PC graphics card melting exclusive – its out on the consoles this time around as well. I have played through the entire singleplayer campaign on PC over the last couple of nights and have gathered my thoughts in this here review. Abandoning the tropical island setting for a version of New York city that’s being violently ripped apart by an alien invasion, Crysis 2 seems to be very different to its predacessor. But is it any good? Read on to find out…

Duke Nukem Forever is delayed again!

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Paul Blackburn

Duke Nukem Forever

In a special video message from Gearbox, we learned that the ever-elusive Duke Nukem Forever is once again delayed. Surprised? No, me neither. Anyway, it’s been set back to June 10th, which is only a month longer wait, so I don’t actually mind too much. I still can’t wait, though.

Horror Games are Too Scary for their Own Good

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Matt Clarke

I am a wimp. I can freely admit it, and I feel no shame. There have been many horror games I’ve purchased in the past, convincing myself that I’ll get through them, but aside from a few exceptions – the first Dead Space being a particularly proud moment – it’s fair to say I am a total failure when it comes to finishing horror games.

Crysis 2 Launch Trailer

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Matt Clarke

Crysis 2 is out in America already, and we’re getting ours on Friday here in the UK. It looks stunning, and many reviews are claiming it to be the best-looking console game ever. I’m quite gutted that its had to be dumbed down for them frankly, but theres no denying the game still looks fantastic. Paul and I have been preparing ourselves for it by revisiting the original Crysis, and the semi-sequel Warhead all this week, which I finally got around to finishing. It still looks gorgeous even after a few years. Click below to see the launch trailer for Crysis 2.

Review – World in Conflict

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Paul Blackburn

World in Conflict

Years after it’s release, I felt the need a few months ago to grab a copy of the World in Conflict complete edition from the bargain shelf in Game, since it was only £3. I was buying Dead Space 2 at the time, so I had my priorities, too, before I could get round to actually playing it. I always fancied the look of it, and so I decided to whet my appetite for a decent strategy game I hadn’t played yet.

Minecraft – Pet Wolves!

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Matt Clarke

The latest Minecraft update is on its way, and will feature pets! Pet wolves, to be precise. They are both cute and fearsome, as this new video suggests. Look at the way they shake themselves after having a swim! I know nothing more about this, but I can’t wait. Click below to see the video.

Batman Arkham City Gameplay Trailer

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Matt Clarke

Ooooh yes, this is looking good. New trailer for Batman Arkham City is below and it shows off Batman doing what he does best, in the form of swooping around and battering nutters. The city itself looks great too, I look forward to exploring its dark alleys and moody streets, and should prove to be a vastly different environment to the original Asylum.
