A Gryphon’s-Eye View of Mists of Pandaria

Posted on Sep 26, 2012 10:00:02 AM

We know World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has kung-fun pandas in it. I’ve seen it on adverts on the telly and everything. What else does it have in it? Well, if you’ve got seven minutes you can find out, with the below flyover trailer that runs through some of the new zones, enemies, abilities and dungeons to be found in WoW’s fourth expansion.

Guild Wars two has just won the award for the most retarded game advert ever. It’s a coveted prize and was given out by me in that last sentence. Congratulations guys. The game looks fun but the advert is pants-on-head retarded.

Free Crawling: The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot

Posted on Sep 11, 2012 10:00:20 AM

We’ve currently smuggled Adam out of the country to investigate all things new, French and Ubisoft, but to scoop him ourselves, they’ve just announced The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot. It is, and this is one to get your head around, a free-to-play asynchronous dungeon crawler/tower defence. And it has a brilliant name. There’s an announcement trailer below. It is very silly.

A Postcard Soaked In Kerosene: Far Cry 3′s Side-Quests

Posted on Sep 10, 2012 02:30:17 PM

OK, so I’m starting to warm up to this “Agent Huntley” narrator guy Ubisoft’s got talking us through the most recent Far Cry 3 videos. He’s basically a more tropical Max Payne – which, given recent events in Max Payne’s life, means he’s basically just Max Payne.

DL Sea: Mass Effect’s ‘Leviathan’ Mission Dives Deep

Posted on Aug 28, 2012 05:28:10 PM

Really, if you think about it, the ocean is basically space, but more blue. I mean, both are sorely lacking in breathable air, give us the ability to defy basic physics while shouting “wheeeeee,” and are absolutely, positively, I-really-really-hope teeming with life. (What if fish aren’t real?! Wouldn’t that be a total bummer?)

Express Yourself: Everquest II Adds SOEmote Tech

Posted on Aug 13, 2012 10:00:24 AM

The continued support and updating for EverQuest II never fails to surprise me. The MMO is now eight years old, but still played and receiving regular updates and content, and now some tech that I’ve not seen used elsewhere. They’re awkwardly calling it SOEmote, a thing where a webcam pointed at your face will translate your expressions onto your in-game character. You can see it in action below.
