Thanks to a pesky little leak from Microsoft’s own website – we knew we’d be getting both Halo 4 and a reboot of the franchise. That doesn’t mean there was reason to turn away from E3’s Halo 4 announcement today. This video – at risk of being YouTube yanked, I fear – captures the all […]

E3: Fable – The Journey news, pictures and video
We have Fable news. There will be a new Fable and it’ll be Fable: The Journey. Albion’s end is coming, no more heroes are being born – but can be made – and all that matters now is the Journey. Peter Molyneux of Microsoft’s Lion Head Studios and Fable’s main man took the stage at […]
E3: Mass Effect 3 will have Kinect voice controls
One piece of news from the Microsoft press presentation from E3 today that’s certainly worth of RPG attention comes from developers BioWare. Mass Effect 3 will be a Kinect enhanced game. Expecting to make pistol shapes with your fingers and shout “pew pew pew!” at the screen? Unlikely to happen. What we are now expecting […]
Cats of Thunder… or Thundercats?
There’s a lot to be said for this designn by Chris Thornley. Thornley runs Raid71 and seems to have produced material for the likes of NME, Levi, Fortean Times and even Lego. I was impressed with Fortean Times as a client – even more geek impressed to see that he’s worked with Lego. His four […]
Blade – the daywalker’s anime trailer
Madhouse, Marvel and Animax have teamed up to put together an anime version of Blade. Is it about time? Did you know Blade first made a comic book appearance back in 1973 when he appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #10? Wikipedia could be tricking me for all I know; he feels a far younger […]
Prototype 2: E3 trailer
Prototype 2 will be a gory (you can tell the designers want even more gory) non-linear action game aka an open world action game – or just one step away from an RPG. It was developed by the Canadian Radical Entertainment and published by Activision (actually, I think Activision now owns Radical Entertainment). in the […]
Spider-man: Edge of Time – E3 trailer
It’s E3 week. Hurrah for all us computer RPG fans – bad news for any geek who can’t stand computer games. Let’s take an extended peak at Activision’s Spider-man game. The Edge of Time lets us involve two Spider-men and some pretty intense cut scenes. Video game teasers aren’t regulated in the way TV adverts […]
Cthulhu inspiration: Innsmouth Town Hall Meeting poster set
This is a clever idea from Etsy designer Narshero; a set of posters that lined up the Town Hall meeting of the good folk of Innsmouth. It’s a quiet town but the locals aren’t too keen on strangers and certainly swift to anger. This set of posters, which is designed to be shown three abreast, […]
Mobile Review: Samsung Galaxy Mini
I have long been of the belief that technology is an enabler. Used properly it can educate, entertain, and generally enhance the quality of our lives. I am also firmly of the belief that in order for the maximum number of people to benefit from technology, cost should not be a barrier to entry. Samsung […]
Apple suffers Windows logo prank
Microsoft has not yet managed to export their retail stores outside the US. Apple has been far more successful and they’re due to open a very large store in Hamburg, Germany, shortly. We might expect Microsoft to be the subject of pranks but as Apple grows and continues to be aggressively defensive of their IP […]
