I just got my hands on Dead Rising 2, which I can’t wait to give a go when I get home. But in the mean time, I’ve got videos such as the following to keep me entertained until then (viewers who don’t like gore – or just plain old sissies – might want to look away):
The next instalment of Alan Wake’s tale is on its way, and there’s a new trailer for it below. After the relatively short (but free for most people who had bought the game) first bit of DLC, The Signal, I’m hoping this new one will be considerably longer and have a bit more to it, especially since it’s gonna cost 560 MS points. It’s out on October 12th, apparantly. Check out our other Alan Wake related ramblings here.
We’ve had a surge of hits in the past few days, and it’s 99% because of Minecraft. I’ve covered the game before, and took you on a tour of a world we created in the ‘classic’ version of the game, but a LOT has happened in the land of cubes lately, so I thought it was a good to have a little catch up…
Forgot to mention this when part 1 was released, admittedly. Left 4 Dead is getting its own comic series which will bridge the gap between the end of the first game and the upcoming DLC The Sacrifice, which will be available for owners of either game. It contains some excellent artwork, but I thought the writing was a bit cheesy myself. Still, it’s worth checking out if you’re curious about the back-story of the characters and want a bit more meat added to the overall story. I’m off to read Part 2 now, follow me over here…
Wowzers. The first glimpse of gameplay from the upcoming Bioshock Infinite is out. Click below for 10 minutes of highly scripted in-engine footage.
The latest action/buddy/comedy/cop movie to explode onto our cinema screens – The Other Guys – was released only a few days ago, and so naturally we went on an expedition to see it right away. It looked bloody well funny in the trailers, but did it actually live up to it’s hilarious initial presentation? And is it really worth going to see? Well, I’m not going to bullshit you, so yes it did, and yes it is! Read our chat-review about it, then go see it!
If you didn’t know about Minecraft already, or you didn’t want to play it before, then you bloody well should after this…
So, on the way back to work from lunch, we noticed Game had a demo of Playstation Move in-store for people to try out. Naturally, we went in and had a go.
Tokyo Game Show has kicked off, and the only game I was interested in has already shown its mesmerising-monster-shaped face. There’s been no new news of The Last Guardian for over a year, and the new trailer is as gorgeous and intriguing as 2009’s E3 trailers. It seems to show a bit of gameplay, but is mostly in-engine footage of the big creature and the kid interacting. Having been getting rather excited at the thoughts of the game coming out soon, I now have to calm myself down as the supposed release date will be “Holiday 2011”, according to IGN. I don’t know what this means, exactly, but it’s obviously not going to be out anytime soon! In the meantime, I’ll have the HD remakes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus to keep me busy, and that’s a fine compromise to me. Click below for trailers.
Mario has been around for 25 years, as of today. Nintendo have made a cool retrospective video about the iconic plumber, which is worth a watch. I’ve never been the biggest fan of his games, due mostly to a severe lack of skill on my part at old classic platformers which Mario practically invented. It’s impossible to deny the influence these games have had on the industry, though. Paul has been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and will hopefully have a review up soon. In the meantime, Happy Birthday, Jumpman ^_^
Ever heard of Halo? Yeah, they’ve made a new one. It’s quite good apparently. All the TV adverts are hideously pretentious and rubbish so here’s an old trailer which came out ages ago instead. Paul and I will probably get this and play the co-op which has always been the best feature of this massively-overrated franchise. It’s out tomorrow.
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis and Governator Arnie. With the most manly cast of any movie in history, you should at least have an idea of what to expect from The Expendables.
