Talisman of Death was one of the very popular Fighting Fantasy adventure books you may remember from yesteryear. UK based company Laughing Jackal, who seem well connected with original authors Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, have brought the game to the PlayStation Network. This may sound like common sense – which means I’m probably wise […]
Space Marine: Thunder Hammer
What’s your favourite bit of kit from the Warhammer 40K universe? Something deadly and awesome? Something that does justice to the hi-tech meets blood and guts nature of the future world? Perhaps it’s the Thunder Hammer. It’s good to know that the warhammer features in the Warhammer world of the future. Except the Thunder Hammer […]
The Dark Souls prologues
Namco Bandai have been releasing the usual trickle of videos to support one of their forthcoming games. In this case it’s Dark Souls. It’s due out next month and will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It was actually Prologue II that caught my attention. I went back through the press releases from […]
Rotoscoped The War of the Worlds game
This War of the Worlds game will be appearing on both the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Paramount Digital have the license but the game is being developed by Other Ocean Interactive. It was Other Ocean who was responsible for the XBLA conversion of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. They go for a […]
Augmented Reality CCG – Drako
I remember Eye of Judgement well. I never played it – but I saw friends beginning to dabble with it. It was a collectable card game that the PS Eye turned into something special. The camera would scan the cards being used in the game and provide some pretty cool animations. The game was closed […]
Docu-trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2
If you’re worried about spoilers to Final Fantasy XIII then this isn’t the post for you. Read something else. I was really excited about FFXIII before it came out… but eventually gave up, trapped in the farm and fight cycle of the grasslands. This is a sequel. It had (some) of the same characters. We […]
Black Knight Sword looks good
Black Knight Sword looks like an interesting computer game; not just because it describes itself as a dark fantasy. It also describes itself as “interactive kamishibai“. If you’re not familiar with kamishibai it’s paper drama theatre and in Black Knight Sword players control the figures. Historically, it was often monks who told the story. Gameplay […]
Awesomenauts
This blog doesn’t often look at Xbox Live Arcade games but Awesomenauts had a title interesting enough to catch the attention. Awesomenauts is a MOBA. I’m told that’s a Multiuser Online Battle Arena and as far I can I tell you log in simply to blast chunks off one another. Awesomenauts has Russian monkeys with […]
First three PWNED clips from GamesCon 2011
This series of sponsored videos is a fantastic way to catch up, documentary style, with GamesCon 2011. They’re sponsored by EA so expect something of an EA centric approach – but we do get gamer geek goodies such as a discussion about Mass Effect 3.
Darksiders 2 looking impressive
THQ’s Darksiders 2 is looking pretty impresive. Despite some clever TV sponsorship in front of geeky TV with interesting looking ads – I never picked up Darksiders. I think it’ll be even harder to avoid the temptation of Darksiders 2. Go Death! Who would have thought we’d follow Death through the realms of angels, demons […]
