Playing Minecraft with Lee and Frank, have already tried to block one of them in a cave :)
Must say, I am disappointed by the lack of such basic commands as "Get the fuck out of my way" and "Down in front!" #BinaryDomain
Good afternoon climbing... my fingers hurt now! Finally got some shoes so pretty happy :) #fb Well, my team will definitely know when I'm in trouble. Hope they're never counting on me for motivation. http://t.co/NG1CnzT8 #BinaryDomain Apparently I can give the "Blitz!" command with no problems. Whatever that is.At this year’s Eurogamer Expo I interviewed Sarah Wellock, Community Manager and Adam Vincent, 3D animator from Rocksteady Studios on the Batman: Arkham City stand. In the first part of this interview Sarah and Adam spoke about every single place in Arkham City being unique and the beefed up combat system. In the second part of the interview they talk [...]
Rocksteady Studios were showing off Batman: Arkham City at this year’s Eurogamer Expo both on the show floor and during 2 developer sessions. After 2.5 years of development, the sequel to the multi award winning Batman: Arkham Aslyum is almost ready for release.

The co-founders of BioWare, Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk were in London this weekend for a presentation at the Eurogamer Expo.

WipEout games have featured many different gameplay tweaks like the recharge lane in wipEout 2097. [...]

At Ubisoft’s recent Summer Spectacular I got to chat to Jamie Keen, lead game designer on Far Cry 3 about his plans for the game and what he hopes to improve on from Far Cry 2 and about hiding in bushes. I absolutely loved Far Cry, but felt that Far Cry 2 lost its way a bit, so what’s changed [...]
Late one night in June we were escorted through the darkened booths of the E3 Expo for a special evening session with Microsoft’s Kinect stand. I got my groove on with Dance Central 2′s drop-in, drop-out multiplayer mode (squee!) and met Harmonix’s Lead Designer for Dance Central, Matt Boch. I’ve long maintained that Dance Central has the best Kinect implementation [...]
At E3 2011 I talked with Drew Hahn, community manager for the Need for Speed games to ask him about the balance between the driving / on-foot sections in Need For Speed: The Run and the Autolog system which has become such a big feature of the Need For Speed franchise. Has the addition of the on-foot sections really turned [...]

THQ have also released parts 1 and 2 of the video showing the Metro: Last Light [...]

Read about Paul’s thoughts on victory laps, tyre degradation, racing [...]
For this week’s feature, I decided to have a look at London’s thriving indie developer community. They are a fairly communal bunch with regular meet-ups on the first Monday of every month and they have their own London Indies website. There’s also a Twitter hashtag called #LondonIndies where many post-pub discussions can be found. If you’ve read our recent “You [...]
