Skyrim’s gameplay was unveiled at E3 earlier this year. I was lucky enough to see the demo in action but having been sorely let down by Oblivion’s levelling system whereby as soon as you get the amazing Jade armour every bloody bandit and his dog has it as well, I’ve been reserving judgement. Having into the levelling in Skyrim, I’m [...]
My first experience with RAGE at E3 2011 had left me with mixed feelings about the game. I loved the wonderful post-apocalyptic wasteland setting and the intense FPS action but the dumb enemy AI and the undercooked vehicle races were a big disappointment. The game felt disjointed with the rough and ready driving sections sitting uncomfortably alongside the far more [...]
At this year’s E3 Expo, nestled within the bowels of the giant Bethesda booth were loads of consoles running a demo build of id Software’s latest game called RAGE. It was finally time to get hands-on with the game I’d been following for a while to see what John Carmack and his team were cramming into the new id Tech [...]
Gender in the media. It’s always a fun topic on the internet. Here’s a 2-minute video so you know where I’m coming from. Now let’s talk about games.

At £30+ quid a pop in an industry with stupendous marketing budgets I usually make damn sure I’ve done my research before buying anything. Yet I have a terrible disability when it comes to the two Computer Exchange branches just off [...]
I find myself strangely disturbed by Fallout 3 Gameplay video 4. For some reason, the chainsaw bayonet blood splatter in Gears of War is nasty but appropriate. This level of gore in Fallout seems plain Wrong. I don’t know if it’s the slow-motion action or the exploding body parts that are more distateful. Perhaps it’s just that I always had [...]
There are a couple of new previews out on Bethesda’s new RPG, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion over at GameSpy, Joystiq and MyGamer. From GameSpy: “This is truly a sandbox game, where every action will result in some sort of reaction. During the demo, our hero accidentally set an innocent villager on fire…” Looks like it’ll be another beautiful game with the [...]
