I’ve played a bit of Audiosurf before, and I quite liked it, but I never really got into it in any kind of obsessive, must-get-100%-on-Message-In-A-Bottle kind of a way like I did with the earlier Guitar Hero games. Then I got an e-mail: “You used to have the worldwide best score for: everything counts [live] […]

So there’s another Prince of Persia game on the way, The Forgotten Sands. Not apparently a game adapation of the upcoming movie (if it was, it would be a game of a movie of a game which is a rather amusing concept), but certainly timed to coincide with it. It’s a return to the Sands […]

So, the new Pro Evolution Soccer is out, and the general consensus seems to be that the series is on the wane. Apparently, the decline started a couple of years ago with PES 2008, which is odd as it’s the latest one I bought and I’m still playing it now. It’s got one or two […]

As a cheapskate with an interest in older games and a massive pile of untried titles sitting in a cupboard under the stairs, I don’t tend to buy too many new releases these days. Sports games are an exception, however. More specifically, a new cricket game will more or less represent an essential purchase on […]

So Rockstar are working on a new Max Payne game. Not to doubt their pedigree, but I’m slightly troubled by some of the tidbits of news about the game that have emerged so far. There’s a picture of Max that makes him look like a Ukrainian boxer, which is troubling enough, but now they’ve announced […]

So the new Terminator movie came out over here yesterday. Frankly, you can’t move for advertisments and/or promotions – Pizza Hut is even doing a ‘Terminator Pizza’, for god’s sake. And every magazine and newspaper is quizzing Christian Bale on why he called the DP of the film “f*ckin’ amateur” (he’s a nice guy, though, […]

So, just finished Fahrenheit. It was good stuff, actually – flawed, yes – but still very, very good. I didn’t even mind the sub-Nickelback “rawk” that played over the end credits. I’m tempted to say that it’s unlike any game I’ve played, although a couple of things tell me stop short of making such a […]

In the interest of, erm, not getting any retro gaming done for days I went ahead and got F.E.A.R. On the downside, it’s one of those games where so far the pallette consists solely of brown and grey; i hope it’s not all dingy warehouses and industrial settings. However, it is seriously atmospheric. Enemies aren’t […]

As I may have mentioned here and there, I’m not particularly good at racing games. Or at least, I lack the motivation to play them enough to become more skilled, usually just dicking around for a bit, completing an easy couple of races and then crashing into something. That’s why my only contributions to our […]

Just to let you know that Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is going for $10 on Steam this weekend. It’s basically Deus Ex with vampires, which should be enough reason for anyone to snap it up. There are multiple ways to build your vampiric “hero”, some really well-developed characters to interact with and it still looks […]
