I think the Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer is looking pretty good. There’s certainly an element of grit in this one – does this foreshadow the direction the new wave of Spider-man films will go? It’s not “who watches the watchmen?” but “who saves the hero” and in an time-related action game you don’t need […]
Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale: Fighter Trailer
Atari have released the latest trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale. This time around we focus on the Fighter. There’s about 50 seconds in the short trailer, just enough to give you a sample of the melee action and the GUI. Looks like they’re trying to keep it as streamlined as possible in order to […]
Dungeon Siege III: Lucas Montbarron introduction
Square Enix have published a video introduction to Lucas Montbarron. It’s an effective way to check out the game play in Dungeon Siege III. There’s just the suggestion that they’ve managed to get the best bits from Dungeon Siege I and from Dungeon Siege II and successfully mash them together. Let’s hope so! What do […]
LoTR War in the North: Combat trailer
This video from Snowblind is all about the combat in the Lord of the Rings action RPG “War in the North”. The concept for the trailer / documentary is pretty simple. The Snowblind team argue that in the Lord of the Rings book combat was pretty brutal. The War in the North is supposed to […]
Can you win a PlayStation 3 by giving Sackboy a hat?
Geek Native readers may well have spotted Sackboy popping up now and then on this blog. For example, back in October he was featured holding a cute X10 mini. There are currently three Sackboys in the flat. Is that too many? I suspect Sony would say we could fit one or two more in the […]
Mass Effect 2: The Arrival trailer
Mass Effect 2 is still big news among gamer geeks. This isn’t simply due to the fact that we can sense the arrival of Mass Effect 3. It’s because Mass Effect 2 still holds our attention and we’ve only just got news of Mass Effect: Arrival. The first bit of DLC for the franchise in […]
The First Templar
The First Templar reminds me of a cross between Dungeon Siege and Assassin’s Creed. The trailer certainly suggests a combat centric romp! I like the fact there is the suggestion of history in the game. Oh, I suspect it’s nothing more than a suggestion but it’s enough to make the game stand out. What do […]
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime launch trailer
This is short, simple but effective. Most of all this trailer for Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime makes the game look fun. Actually, it reminds me of Gauntlet. We’ve four players, running around, throwing a stream of weapons and hordes of incoming ghosts, ghouls and the occassional something-more-power-and-scary. Ray Parker Jr‘s soundtrack helps incredibly as well. […]
Advertising Standards Authority rules that “replay mode” is not “actual gameplay footage”
The United Kingdom’s Advertising Standards Authority received complaints over Sony’s TV ad for GT5. The ad featured two men on a sofa about the play the game before cutting to screens from the game showing cars on the tracks and from different angles. Throughout this scene the on-screen text read “Actual gameplay footage”. This triggered […]
Americans censoring Dead Island
Here in Europe we sometimes puzzle over American censorship decisions. This is a country where people are allowed to buy and carry guns. Several States deploy the death penalty. It wasn’t surprising that Ubisoft decided not to release We Dare, the spanking game, in the United States as sexy stuff is far more likely to […]
