The Syndicate demo will be out for Xbox Live Gold users on 31st Jan (tomorrow) and PSN on 1st Feb. EA gave us a hands-on preview with the co-op mode. It’s good. Real good. I imagine it would be a bloody nightmare if you play with online randomers. The Western Europe map that will be available is 4-player co-op and [...]

“Exuberant, colourful and very chatty release would like to meet casual gamers for cartoon-styled violence and good times.” Brawl Busters is the new over the shoulder deathmatch / co-op release from Rock Hippo. Like Team Fortress 2 it’s released as Free-2-Play and offers in-game currency for those who are time starved but still want weapons and plenty of ‘em. Whilst [...]

Amazingly Insane Your home for the majority of the game is the [...]

A couple of years ago, I asked id Software’s Creative Director Tim Willits why they were calling their new game “Rage”. He replied that it was simply in keeping with their previous titles, such as Doom and Quake. This is not the response that I was expecting. Not that I was hoping for a game based around unrepentant anger, but [...]

The Microsoft Flight team have announced that they are now accepting applications for the beta which kicks off in Jan 2012. You can apply for the beta via Microsoft Connect. You will need to accept the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) agreement before submitting your application. It’s all fairly standard stuff for an NDA – don’t record, talk or write about anything [...]

When the Battlefield 3 Beta was stealthily hinted at by EA on their Twitter feed way back in February, the excitement generated by the gaming media and Internet alike was almost palpable. Rumours and hearsay had been circling since the very first announcement all the way back in 2009 and the beta just added fuel to that fire. Could it [...]

We have one highly sought-after Counter-Strike: Global Offensive PC closed beta code to give away. The game features new maps, characters and gameplay modes alongside classic Counter-Strike maps. The graphics have been given a revamp too. I played a few matches on the PS3 version Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at the recent Eurogamer Expo. Yep, it feels exactly like Counter-Strike but [...]

I had never heard of Risen until the trailer to Risen 2 was released in April. It’s a pirate RPG. A pirate RPG! And one that looks pretty bloody good. A group of us were led through a live demo of Risen 2 the other week. It’s an open world game filled with oddball piratey characters such as Jaffar, a [...]
