While the evolution of motion control is being met globally with a healthy balance of eager anticipation and exhausted groaning, there will always be something that will make everybody stand up and pay attention.
And so, it is with great pleasure that I present a short clip of some dude with a bad ass mullet showing off what could be a great idea. Hit the jump for the clip.
As details of Max Payne’s imminent comeback have slowly treacled out, the first screenshots of the game have finally arisen to indicate how the game will actually look. And to be honest, after Max Payne’s gritty film noir past, it is not exactly what I was expecting, with Payne now sporting John Mclaine’s vest in some decidedly Uncharted and Resident Evil-esque locales. But then as they say, a change can be as good as a rest so I am more than intrigued about this third instalment.
The remaining screenshots can all be found after the break.
In 1993, Sam & Max Hit the Road became one of the most successful adventure games of all time. Creator Steve Purcell’s likable duo of Sam the dog (the straight man), and the hyper, unpredictable, Max the “bunny…thing” were an instant hit when mixed with the creative minds at LucasArts Entertainment. After LucasArts decided to scrap the development of the future Sam & Max titles, many developers left the company and formed TellTale Games in 2004, which led to the revival of the series.
Sam & Max Save the World is the same six episode compilation that was offered in an episodic fashion on the PC in 2006, and also hit the Wii in late 2008. The Xbox Live Arcade offering has quite a hefty price tag of $20, so read on to find out if it’s worth the price of entry. Read more… »

Darkest Hour is the newest mod for the game Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 which was released in 2006 and provided a realistic and intense World War Two multiplayer game on the PC. The original was not exactly what you would call “pick up and play”, it was unforgivably hardcore; one shot was enough to kill you 90% of the time, there was no ammo counter on screen meaning you had to keep track of how many bullets were left in your magazine. Also, there were no crosshairs, and no radar to pin point where your enemies had hidden themselves as they sniped you into oblivion.
For those that persevered through the first few hours of unflinching punishment, the true depth of the game appeared, it was rewarding in a way unlike any other experience because it took genuine skill and hard graft to accomplish anything. The developers had taken a lot of time making the game appear realistic; bullets dropped over distance so you had to adjust your aim to suit, and there was no way of being healed after you got shot, so instead you were careful with your movement, dashing from spots of cover and going prone to present yourself as less of a target. At the same time, a dedicated team had worked on keeping things historically accurate, which really helped to enrich the experience. Darkest Hour has not changed this formula in any major way, and instead focuses on allowing you to experience Red Orchestra action on a new front. Read more… »
It seems like forever ago when Tekken 6 was announced for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. There was a surprise amongst us as the primarily Playstation title moved into the Xbox 360. Now we’re just a few months left from release, and some more surprising news is filtering in regarding the Pac-man robe wearing samurai.
Being a Los Angeles Laker fan, and also living less than 100 miles from the City of Angels, I thought it be appropriate that I’d be the first to acknowledge how proud I am of the Lakers for bringing the NBA championship back to LA. Aside from that, the votes are in and the people have spoken, this year’s NBA 2K10 cover features Kobe Bryant tugging on his number 24 jersey. Read more… »
It has been no more than a week since the U.K. government backed the PEGI rating system over that of the BBFC and there are already calls for improvement.
If you’ve ever seen the movie “Fight Club,” you know that anyone can make explosives using only a few simple household items. Now, whether or not this prompted you to lock yourself in the kitchen and attempt making barrels of ACME soap is part of the question raised by the censorship of violent acts and instruction. It turns out some people were worried Niko Bellic might have inadvertently taught some unsavory lessons during his journey in GTA IV. Read more… »
As an avid fan of the Empire: Total War video game for the PC, I’ll be the first to acknowledge the fact the game is riddled with a ton of bugs and glitches. As a result, it has been dying for a much needed update. Read more… »
You no longer have to wonder if the marketing rumors and images were just a Wii in wolf’s clothing. At the World Hobby Fair in Tokyo, two new color Wii’s were on display for people to press their faces to the glass. Read more… »
