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 [...]
It’s Spring (nearly) and with it come thoughts of cleaning or at least thoughts of other people cleaning. To try and get in to the spirit of the moment I decided to have a bit of a rummage around on my PC and maybe organise it a little. This tends to involve randomly deleting anything that looks messy (i.e. not [...]
Imagine a world where you can do what you want, when you want and get adored just for existing. As I covered in my hands-on preview at Gamescom 2011, Saints Row: The Third lets you live that fictional life while having fun in the most outrageous way possible. Amazingly Insane Your home for the majority of the game is the [...]
War in the North, should you believe the blurb “is a co-op Action RPG that immerses you and your friends in a brutal new chapter in the War of the Ring”. It’s similar in level design to previous titles where you work through each area bashing trolls and orcs until you reach a set piece. These err towards bashing a [...]
Just over a year ago, a little XBLA game called Shank was released. A cartoon-style combat platformer inspired by the works of Tarantino and Rodriguez, it featured plenty of blades, ultra-bloody attacks, and beer bottles as health pick-ups. Seems like pretty standard gaming fare for the adult grindhouse audience, right? Problem is, the game opened with an disturbing sequence in [...]
News! News! Mass Effect 3: Multiplayer has been confirmed! According to a website announcement Casey Hudson confirmed this to an Australian print magazine. The BioWare twitter account confirmed yesterday that multiplayer will indeed be present and the official announcement turned up today on the BioWare website. It’s called Galaxy at War and is 4-player co-op You will fight to take [...]
Arrgghhh! Zombies! They’re everywhere! No, seriously, they are. If popular culture were a shopping mall, you would need a large machete and a chainsaw to get past all the zombie games and movies shambling their way around the food court. In this increasingly overpopulated genre, can Dead Island, a brand new title from the makers of Call of Juarez, really [...]
What happens when a piece of entertainment transcends its natural barrier – in this case the player and the controller – and becomes something else entirely? This is a question that has raged in the games industry for years and continues to go criminally unanswered. Can a game be considered art? If you dismissed that thought, then I’ve got a [...]
Rather than leaving it to an ad agency to make the Portal 2 TV advert, Valve Software decided to keep it in-house and make one themselves. The advert they produced is nicely spoiler free as it only shows 2 adorable robots from earlier Portal 2 multiplayer trailers larking around with the portal gun. Even without any in-game footage the trailer [...]
I got my grubby mitts on upcoming co-op military shooter Operation Flashpoint: Red River this week. The third in this series of “realistic” military shooters, Red River is based in Tajikistan (yes, it’s a real country) and heavily influenced by the style of modern combat documentaries like the fabulous Generation Kill (mmm… Eric from True Blood :). The Operation Flashpoint [...]
We gave Apache Air Assault to Tom Wallis of Newb Review. With his stellar virtual driving skills, he should love a good helicopter sim, right? Not so much...
Have you been waiting for someone to do for combat helicopter sims what Gran Turismo did for racing games? Yeah, us neither but it looks like Gaijin Entertainment have done just that, with Apache Air Assault coming out next month. I got my grubby paws into a hands-on preview earlier this week. You know what? It’s not half bad. When [...]
