Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands gameplay video

March 13, 2010 Doug Groves DS, Nintendo, Prince Of Persia, PS3, PSP, Sony, The Forgotten Sands, Ubisoft, Wii, Xbox 3600 comment

The new Prince of Persia, due out in May, helps fill in the seven year gap between The Sands Of Time and Warrior Within, as seen in the new trailer, which has both gameplay footage and developer commentary. From the looks of it, it’s very much in the Warrior Within vein design-wise. Interesting to note that to build the game, Ubisoft Montreal made use of their in-house Anvil engine, which allows for up to 50 enemies on screen at one time. Besides the classic parkour style action, there’s some new…

Don’t turn on your PS3 for now: UPDATE – fixed

March 1, 2010March 1, 2010 Doug Groves Playstation, Playstation Network, PS3, PS3 Slim, Sony3 Comments

The widespread PS3 errors have been narrowed down, as expected, to a clock-related bug, at least that’s what Sony believes. In short, if you own an older “phat” PS3 (aka not the Slim), Sony is recommending that you do not turn on the console at all untill they announce a fix. So if you were planning on heading home today and firing up Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2, or watch a BluRay, you’re going to have to hold out just a little bit longer. We believe we have identified that this…

PS3 outage a leap year bug?

March 1, 2010 Doug Groves Playstation Network, PS3, PS3 Slim, PSN, Sony5 Comments

Late yesterday, reports started appearing across the social networks and message boards of PS3 owners losing trophy information and the console being unable to play game discs. At first it was suspected that this was due to an outage of the Playstation Network (PSN). Most users reported getting the 8001050F error code, and even booting up without a network connection doesn’t alleviate the problem. As more info has leaked out, it appears the problem is limited to the older ‘phat’ PS3 models, as PS3 Slim users haven’t noticed the same…

Bioshock 2, Darwinia+ out this week

February 8, 2010February 8, 2010 Doug Groves 2k Games, Bioshock 2, Darwinia, PC gaming, PS3, Xbox 3601 Comment

It’s February, so you know it’s that time of year when ‘big’ games rarely get released. Except that 2K’s Bioshock 2 launches tomorrow on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows. Continuing (sort of) the story from the original Bioshock, the sequel will also bring Rapture-themed multiplayer variant to the franchise, thanks to London Ontario game studio Digital Extremes. Also launching this week on XBLA is Darwinia+, the console version of award winning, genre-bending Darwinia. You can catch the trailer for that

Fallout New Vegas: Fall 2010

February 4, 2010February 4, 2010 Doug Groves Bethesda, Fallout New Vegas, PC gaming, PS3, Xbox 3600 comment

Bethesda Softworks, makers of Fallout 3 have released the above teaser trailer for the all new “Fallout: New Vegas”, which is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment. This is noteable because Obsidian is made up of many former developers from Black Isle Studios, the creators of the original Fallout. It certainly hits many of the same stylistic notes as Fallout 3, with the “golden oldies” soundtrack and retro-future look, and with Obsidian on board will hopefully stay truer to its ‘traditional’ RPG roots than Fallout 3 did. Needless to say, this has…

February 3, 2010February 3, 2010 Doug Groves Aliens, Aliens vs. Predator, demo, multiplayer, PC gaming, Predator, PS3, Xbox 3606 Comments

The Sega Europe blog has officially announced that a multiplayer demo will be released on Thursday Geb 4th for the upcoming Aliens Vs. Predator game, via Xbox Live, PSN or Steam, depending on your preference. This AvP is set in the future (roughly around the time of Aliens), and will allow the player to take on the role of Alien, Predator or Colonial Marine, and duke it out in a refinery designed to feature areas that will be more suited for each species. From Sega… There are numerous vantage points…

Transformers: War for Cybertron is the Transformers video game you might actually WANT to play

January 21, 2010January 21, 2010 Danny X PC games, PS3, Transformers, Xbox 3603 Comments

Not since Hot Rod opened up the Matrix of leadership to the haunting tune of “You Got the Touch” have I been so moved by anything Transformers related. It’s not because I’m some kind of callow emotionless jerk-bot. It’s because anything transformers-related since 1986 has, um, sucked. But the Transformers: War for Cybertron game trailer looks like it wants to buck that trend. Featuring the voice of Peter Cullen and some cameo appearances by what appears to be Omega Supreme, the trailer appears to ramp up the battle scenes in…

Dark Void demo launches this week

January 5, 2010January 5, 2010 Doug Groves Capcom, Dark Void, PC games, PS3, Xbox 3602 Comments

Whether you’ve heard of Dark Void before or not, if you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, this is your lucky week. Those who know already have the date bookmarked. If you’re not familiar with the title, Dark Void basically a 3rd person action adventure game, mixing that old-tymey art style of Bioshock with interdimensional sci-fi monsters. Like most 3rd person shoots, it makes use of a Gears of War cover mechanism, adding a vertical cover mechanic into the mix. Why vertical cover? Oh, probably because your character has a…

Assassin’s Creed II: First Impressions

November 19, 2009February 16, 2010 Johnathan Leger Assassin's Creed II, PC games, PS3, review, Ubisoft, Xbox 3608 Comments

One of the most anticipated gaming titles of the year was finally released this week… and Assassin’s Creed 2 has a LOT of hype to live up to for some… and a LOT to apologize for to others. In 2007, the first game was greeted with polarized impressions, best summed up by Zero Punctuations review. Despite its glaring flaws, I was a HUGE fan of the Creed and after grinding through the first level of the sequel, my impressions thus far are nothing short of smitten. I wont get into…

Alice sequel teased, twisted

November 2, 2009November 4, 2009 Doug Groves Alice, American McGee, PS3, Return Of Alice, sequel, Xbox 3603 Comments

American McGee’s Alice, the nicely twisted third person game that put an extra dose of creepiness into the Alice In Wonderland world back in 2000, finally had a sequel announced by EA back in February of 2009. Now the first teaser trailer, courtesy of developers Spicy Horse has been put online at the teaser Return Of Alice site (the main URL is showing black at the moment). Given the capabilities of hardware these days, I’m hoping that the game itself will have the same creepy stop motion style as the…

Assassin’s Creed: Lineage Part 1 short film online

October 27, 2009 Doug Groves Assassin's Creed II, Hybride, PC games, PS3, Ubisoft, Xbox 3601 Comment

Remember when Ubisoft bought Hybride, the Montreal based studio that did effects work for Sin City, 300 and other films? Besides continuing work on film effects, one of the fruits of that purchase is now available to watch online, in the form of Assassin’s Creed: Lineage. There’s also a good interview with Ubisoft’s UK marketing director talking about the convergence of games and film… “So the beauty of something like Lineage is that it allows us to take a lot of the assets developed for the in-game engine and create…

Get Borderland on the cheap in Canada

October 20, 2009 Doug Groves PS3, Xbox 3607 Comments

If you live in Canada, and were considering picking up Borderlands, the post apocalyptic FPS/RPG for the Xbox 360 or PS3 (it’s out today you know), you might want to run to your nearest retailer and nab it quick. In a promotion similar to Batman: Arkham Asylum, numerous retailers (Best Buy, Futureshop and WalMart) will be selling it for the discounted price of $40. Game Stop/EB Games also has a promotion where you can pick it up for free with 3 select game trade ins, or for $19.99 if with…
