Far Cry 3′s Jason Brody Punches A Shark

Posted on Nov 8, 2012 07:47:36 PM

Admittedly, Jason does other things in Far Cry 3‘s new story trailer aside from punching a shark. But really, is there any tale more gripping or universal than that of one dude, one shark, and one fist?

Crime And Pun-ishment: First Person Shouter

Posted on Nov 5, 2012 10:00:49 AM

Often to my own detriment, I am wildly intrigued by things that confuse and frighten me. True story: this kind of thinking resulted in me being chased across a gorgeous Japanese  park by a herd of enraged deer. It’s with a similar mentality that I bring you word of First Person Shouter.

And Now You Can Buy Pid

Posted on Nov 2, 2012 10:00:44 AM

I completely forgot about Might And Delight’s Pid. Last December I saw the first trailer, and my thoughts turned to goshes. Time then went past at a quite inconsiderate rate, and it’s out today. Crikey. And oddly enough, it’s still looking incredibly lovely. I’m going to get my hands on it straight away.

Bioshock Infinite And The Beast of America

Posted on Oct 31, 2012 10:00:38 AM

Bioshock Infinite has seen a few high-profile members of the team leave of late, but that doesn’t seem to have caused it to waver from its February 26th release date. The latest trailer shows off happenings of light and fury, with lots of combat. The skyline, Elizabeth, and the Handyman baddy feature heavily. If the original Bioshock was a colourful and visually offbeat shooter, then we’ll need to dust off rarely used 19th-century adjectives for this one. Go take a look.

Snikt And Smash: Marvel Heroes

Posted on Oct 25, 2012 10:00:10 AM

When X-Men: The Last Stand crammed in all the mutants it made for a crowded frame and some of Marvel’s most uncanny were rendered as little more than computer-generated blobs of colour. Free-to-play multiplayer online ARPG Marvel Heroes also appears to subscribe to the ‘more actually can be more’ philosophy, but hopefully to greater effect.

Transformers Universe Footage Rolls Out

Posted on Oct 16, 2012 10:00:28 AM

Three or four years ago, I would have fallen to my knees and begged for a Transformers MMO. Today I would not, which is partly because I feel totally burned out on MMOs and partly because my knees increasingly make this unpleasant clicking noise if I bend them too abruptly. But you can be damned sure I’ll at least have a big old fiddle with the character creator in Jagex’s upcoming Transformers Universe even if the long-haul of levelling and whatnot is too galling.

Of Orcs And Men And Launch Trailers

Posted on Oct 15, 2012 10:00:03 AM

It was only May when I was first amazed to discover that spiders could develop games. And now Of Orcs And Men is out tomorrow. Those industrious arachnids. You can see a completely unhelpful CGI launch trailer below, that doesn’t give you any idea whatsoever what the game’s like. Because that’s what trailers are for, right?! Silly billies.

Of Orcs and Men – Buddy Trailer

Posted on Oct 5, 2012 10:24:26 AM

Check out this Of Orcs and Men trailer featuring a pair of unlikely heroes, Arkaïl and Styx. It’s a third-person action game so you will be staring at an enormous green orc butt for most of the game – and/or tiny wizened goblin butt. This new trailer ends on a note making it clear that you are not the only one occupied with this task.

Fans Create Pokémon MMO Because Nintendo Refuses To

Posted on Oct 1, 2012 01:46:53 PM

Nintendo has always stuck by the notion that they’d never make a Pokémon MMO, and judging by all of the amount of available Pokémon MMOs, we find that Nintendo sure is good at sticking by notions. Because of this notion, some fans took matters into their own hands, and heavily modded the Game Boy Advance Pokémon Fire Red into a PC MMO.
