It feels like I’ve used the phrase “this is a bit Pokemon like” or similar a lot recently. The reason for that is two-fold. Pokemon has inspired many games – or, at least, parts of Pokemon has inspired parts of many games. Secondly, Pokemon has that iconic status which begs for comparison. This game is rather […]

The gameplay trailer for Ninokuni looks really good. Coming to the PS3 in 2011 (at least in Japan) is an RPG that’s been developed by Level-5 and the famous anime creators Studio Ghibli.

Portal 2: For Science – You Monster
Seems like the computer might be willing to forgive you – in the name of science. Mind you, maybe she forgives you in the same way she intends to share her cake with you! This trailer for Portal 2 aired at the Sony Conference during the 2010 E3. We’re expecting the sequel to be available […]
Impressive Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer ‘Hope’
I’m awfully impressed with this trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I think Bioware and Lucasarts have managed to create something that will be true to the Star Wars mythos and still be fun to play through as a game.

Banned Guitar Hero: World Tour ad – too racey for TV but okay for YouTube
In 2008 the supermodel Marisa Miller filmed one of those famous Guitar Hero ads. As Guitar Hero: World Tour has rather more instruments than the original game we get to see Marisa Miller play with a wider range instruments too. You’ll have to forgive us for the footage.

HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2
I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]
Do you think this is PS4 / PlayStation 4 leak?
I just want to begin with a reminder – I work in marketing; I work with a number of clients and some of these might be in gaming. I’m not going to blog about anything that I have to keep a secret. I can blog about stuff that’s in public domain. If there’s no secret […]
