Yesterday the question was asked is EA stealing Games Workshop tank design?. It was a fair question to ask because the Games Workshop designed Baneblade looked an awful lot like a tank that later appeared in EA’s free-to-play Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances. The catch? The tank was never used by EA. GameSpot managed to […]
EA caught stealing Games Workshop tank designs?
You know how protective Games Workshop are of their ideas, models and designs? In the past they’ve blocked fan made movies that could have had a strong positive effect on their sales and they’ve even blocked retailers trying to sell their models from the ‘wrong’ use of pictures. Let’s just say Games Workshop are very […]
Final Mass Effect 3 trailer
BioWare and EA have released the final trailer video for Mass Effect 3. At least, it’s a video they’re calling final trailer – let’s not rule out any last minute surprises. Mass Effect 3 has had a rocky few days. The MVC brand map says that fewer female gamers than average are into Mass Effect […]
GAME cancels Mass Effect 3 pre-orders. Where else can you pre-order the N7 Collectors Edition?
Eurogamer has the worrying news that GAME will not be stocking Mass Effect 3. In fact, GAME will not be stocking any EA game beyond SSX. This is a blow for all UK Mass Effect fans. GAME was one of the few retailers in the UK that were taking pre-orders for the N7 Collectors Edition […]
Making of Mass Effect 3’s “Take Earth Back” trailer
After The Walking Dead aired on AMC last night, Electronic Arts ran a TV ad for Mass Effect 3. It was called “Take Earth Back” and seems to have been designed to appeal to gamers as well as non-gamers. If you’ve played the demo then you know you have three options at the start which […]
Alice: Madness Returns fan made trailer of dooooom!
We have the offical Alice: Madness Returns trailer over here. It’s not bad at all. It’s hard to capture sinister creepy in just a few minutes. That’s why this fan made trailer for Spicy Horse‘s highly anticipated game is all that much more impressive. It’s really quiet sinister. Watch out for the syringe that has […]
Patrick Stewart in The Sims Medieval trailer
EA are promoting The Sims Medieval via a funky video gadget widget thingy of doom. They’re also using the tried and tested voice of Patrick Stewart. It’s simple but effective. Rather than having just one video to promote the game or release a bunch in an annoying drip-drip effect, hoping the bloggers stay interested, EA […]
Bulletstorm ad mocks Halo ad
Cast your mind back to 2007. It was an era before we had Microsoft Kinect but we still had the Xbox and we still had Halo. In fact, Halo 3 was due out and Microsoft had put together a dramatic and take-me-seriously advert for the game. It was called Believe. Here’s a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXeST0NMtic Keep […]
Gaikai launches
Dave Perry‘s Gaikai could be very big. It’s one of the few companies that are looking to bring gaming to the cloud. Why pay for an expensive console, a suped up computer or even why pass for expensive spinny discs when you could use a mundane machine to tap into Gaikai’s fat servers and play […]
Gamers Gaikai score with Intel investment
This looks interesting. The over-the-internet games provider Gaikai has just landed some investment – some moola – with Intel Capital and Limelight Networks. The way Gaikai works is to let users play games like World of Warcraft without a download, install and just over the internet. A competitor would be a company like OnLive. What […]
