For all its bombast, bleakness and Brian Cox, I didn’t really like Killzone 2. Well, didn’t much like the game. The music, now, the music was brilliant, so it’s good to hear it’s being released for public consumption. The game’s rousing soundtrack was recorded by a session orchestra (at Abbey Road, no less), not some…
Criterion, the studio behind Burnout, are at work on a “revolutionary take” on the Need For Speed franchise. When’s it out? Well, according to EA’s Frank Gibeau, it’ll be out next year. He made the comment in a conference call earlier today, which was held to provide a “please explain” for the company’s decision to…
Lots of gruff talk around here tonight. High-fives, gunfire, manly things. It’s all that Modern Warfare 2. So let’s take a break from all the HOO-RAH with something a little gentler, brought to you by BioWare’s Dragon Age. With Fahey posting that lady-elf-on-lady clip, it’s only fair I post this one. Of man-elf-on-man action. Complete…
Earlier today, Valve announced support for 4v4 competitive matchmaking to Left 4 Dead. Can’t fault their timing; just as people are about to abandon the first game en masse to pick up the sequel. Ah well. Better late than never, eh? In related Left 4 Dead news, the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, which was…
Brilliant. Ice-T, ready to roll through buildings at the Modern Warfare 2 launch tonight. As seen on Giant Bomb.
Time for a handy reminder: if you’ve pre-loaded a copy of Modern Warfare 2 on Steam, you won’t be able to play it later tonight like everyone else. Yes, while anyone buying a boxed copy of Modern Warfare 2 on PC have only to wait until November 10 (ie, only a few hours away) to…
Last night, we pointed you towards some comparison shots showing the supposed differences between Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 and 360. Problem was, those shots were iffy. Tonight, let’s instead look at a proper, thorough analysis. Lens of Truth have copies of the game on both systems, and have posted an exhaustive selection of…
In recent years, as EA Sports’ FIFA series has gone from strength to strength, the once-mighty Pro Evolution Soccer has slipped, unable to keep pace in the current generation. Is now the time for Konami to stage a comeback? I’m pleased to say that, for the first time since the PlayStation 2 era, significant changes…
Gran Turismo 5, the first game in the series proper since 2004’s GT4, will be released in Japan in March 2010. Everywhere else, though is up in the air. Why so? Blame marketing. That’s according to series creator and Polyphony Digital head man Kazunori Yamauchi who, speaking with Autoweek, said “We will release [GT5] in…
You know, when nobody but my wife and an empty bottle are looking, I’ll sing a little Rock Band. This lady is equally timid on the m.i.c., but has a cunning alternative: play the flute. Yes, as with SingStar, Rock Band can’t understand your actual words while singing. It just picks up the pitch and…
When Luis and Magaly decided to get married, they weren’t thinking cake, slow dances and doves. They were thinking Roberta Williams, the Valley of Spielburg and Sonny Bonds. Congratulations, you crazy kids. 8-bit Wedding Invitation [Geekstir, via Gizmodo]
For all their inventiveness and innovation, some indie games can also be, well, a little much. A fact serving as the inspiration for Something Awful’s list of 2010’s “Most Promising Bullshit Indie Games”. Some of the shame-they’re-not-real-games we have to look forward to include tranScEEnD: You are a seed, the manifestation of potential. The wind…
To give the PSP lineup a much-needed AAA first-party franchise injection, it looks like Sony will be releasing a range of pinball games for the handheld based on console franchises. Like PAIN, Hot Shots Golf, and Uncharted. Yes, Nathan Drake will be swapping mountain passes and machine guns for glass tables and tilts, Sony filing…
Charles Cecil, the brains behind adventure game classics Beneath A Steel Sky and Broken Sword, is working with charity developer OneBigGame on an all-new project: turning Minesweeper into – what else – an adventure game. Seriously. He’s come up with a back story for as to why the mines are there, he’s come up with…
Modern Warfare 2 is the year’s biggest game, and it’s a multiplatform title to boot. And those kind of games always beg the question: which one looks better? Those sensible types, the ones after a comprehensive run-down of the game across PS3 and 360, cataloguing stuff framerate, lighting and motion, will have to wait for…
In 1995, a sequel to Brandish, an obscure RPG, was released on the SNES in Japan. Now, 14 years later, we finally get it in English. A team of fans have cobbled together an unofficial translation of the game. Which is just great for the 7 people outside Japan that actually give a shit. For…
During an interview on GameTrailers TV yesterday, Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime was quizzed on whether we’d see Zelda on the Wii next year. His response? Hedge-betting. “We haven’t committed to Zelda in 2010” he told GTTV host Geoff Keighley. Which will obviously upset those keen enough to hope for Zelda in 2010, but also…
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Dhani Harrison – son of former Beatle George Harrison – has revealed that he’s not only working on Rock Band 3, but that it’s going to take the series in a new direction. The fact he mentions a third Rock Band should surprise only those who wake up…
The upcoming God of War Collection for the PS3 boasts remastered editions of two of the PS2’s finest games. But just how remastered are they? Bitmob sat down, screengrabber at the ready, and found out, posting a ton of shots directly comparing the two versions. As you can see, the PS2 version looks a little,…
