The rather swish-looking Gatling Gears from Vanguard Games is now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Sporting some fantastic old school, top-down shooting action reminiscent of classic games like Fernandez Must Die and SWIV mixed with the all out carnage of Raiden 2. It even looks like an even more destructive version of the recent Assault Heroes game. Gatling Gears features [...]

For the uninitiated, the original Crysis was the kind of game that people used to benchmark their computer system. The recommended specification was so high it was positively stratospheric when it was originally released in 2007. It’s taken four years, but the series has now made the jump to multi-platform status; so when the opportunity came to check out the 360 version of Crysis 2, I jumped at the chance. Has it made a successful transition?

EA have now released 3 fault line episodes showing gameplay from the Battlefield 3 game that is currently in development at DICE. The game seriously looks like a playable version of HBO’s brilliant Generation Kill TV miniseries which many of you will not have heard of. Generation Kill tells the real life story of the Marines of the First Recon [...]

Last week I interviewed Andy Tudor, the design lead on Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed. Tudor has worked in the games industry for over a decade, cutting his teeth at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe before moving to Slightly Mad Studios in 2007 to work on the Need for Speed franchise. I talked to Andy about NFS: Shift 2 Unleashed, [...]

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 [...]

Here’s the latest whizz-bang trailer for the full version of Crysis 2 and not the pirated version of a few weeks back. This game is looking pretty damn cool even though I know I’ll never be able to shoot or kill the guys as shown in the trailer. ‘Tiz not humanly possible! I’m still hoping the giant mechanical snake shown [...]

EA have released another tantalising trailer for Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed showing off some of the more dangerous corners from the race tracks included in the game. There’s Eau Rouge at Spa-Francorchamps, 130R at Suzuka and Berwerk “The Mine”" at the Nurburgring and many others. From the trailer, it looks like tackling these corners at night is going [...]

EA has released a brand new video showing off the Need for Speed Autolog system in the upcoming NFS: Shift 2 Unleashed game. As with NFS: Hot Pursuit, Autolog will dynamically track your career and all your times and then show how rubbish you are compared to your friends. Well, that’s what happened to me anyway ;-) You can also [...]
