I’m really impressed by the music in this trailer for Bethesda Softwork’s launched-in-the-US Hunted game. Hunted is a bit of Diablo meets Dungeon Siege combat crawl but plays special attention to the nuances of having two leading characters rather than one. They’re happy together; hence the clever use of music in this age-rated trailer.
Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale launches today – new trailer
Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale is available from today. At least; it’s available today if you’ve got access to Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. If you’re a PC or PlayStation user then you’ll need to wait for the summer release schedule. Xboxers need to turf up 1,200 Microsoft Points for the purchase. Atari describe […]
Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012: Gideon video and deck list
Buckle up folks as we’ve got a hefty Duels of the Planeswalkers update for you. Let’s start with the Kiora Atura artwork. Kiora Atua is a beautiful female merfolk who commands the powers of the tides and depths. She is outwardly calm and collected but has an intense, wild look in her eye. Kiora venerates […]
Dead Island’s Island of Beauty trailers show censored scene
For some reason the American board of censors objected to the original box cover and it was censored. The original showed a figure hanging from a palm tree. The replacement showed a zombie. That’s why the latest Dead Island trailer – called Island of Beauty – might be considered a cheeky one. It’s a good […]
Dungeon Siege III: Anjali the Fire Archon
Most fantasy games have a hottie – in Dungeon Siege III it’s Anjali. By “hottie” I don’t just mean female-shaped character; I mean fire spirit capable of burning holes through her enemy. As the trailer says; “We should be grateful that she fights on our side”. If you’re up for other Dungeon Siege III character […]
D&D Daggerdale storyline trailer disappoints
I’m not going to gush like a fanboy over the storyline trailer for D&D Daggerdale. I should have been an easy target but I’m disapppointed. It’s not that this video touches on cheese and looks cheap – it’s the lack of effort. Here’s the plot – someone accidently lets Mr Evil build a huge tower […]
Portal 2: Boots video
Turns out that Cave Johnson is willing to admit that there is a reproducible human error problem with the portal device. It’s all due to the way humans tend to land badly, especially from great heights, and the resulting damage that can occur to the portal generator. Needless to say, in order to protect the […]
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record – erotica and zombies?
Dead Rising was one of the original zombie hits. Since Geek Native is a slave to Left 4 Dead (L4D1, at least) we like to look at other possible zombie hits. There’s that. There’s also the fact the official fact sheet from Capcom for Dead Rising talks about awarding players with Prestige Points for photographs […]
Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]
Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer
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 […]
