Crytek releases CryENGINE 3

October 15, 2009October 15, 2009 Doug Groves PC games, PS3, Xbox 3602 Comments

On October 14th, Crytek announced the release of CryENGINE 3, for use in the creation of 3D content. What makes it interesting is that it’s capable of creating a unified development platform for delivery not just to the PC, but the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well. IF they can live up to that promise, this should drastically shorten development times for licensees. The promo trailer is certainly impressive… CryENGINE 3 also introduces CryENGINE 3 Live Create™. It allows developers to work with a single editor, but see and play…

Brutal Legend: In The Beginning…

September 16, 2009September 16, 2009 Doug Groves Brutal Legend, PS3, Xbox 3603 Comments

A corporate merger, lawsuits and counter lawsuits couldn’t keep Brütal Legend finally making its way onto your gaming console. The action game starring the voice and caricaturized semblance of Jack Black, sees the demo released for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 tomorrow, Sept 17th. The above video, of the first five minutes of the game (no axe shredding gameplay) will either have you hitting refresh on your Demos page, or saying “Too much Mr. Black, Jack”, depending on your sensibilities. Personally, I’m leaning towards the former. [via Joystiq]

Cheapest way to get a Blu-Ray Player? Part 1 (And no, stealing one doesn’t count)

June 15, 2009June 15, 2009 kingpinlei blu ray, PS37 Comments

Okay, it’s been a long while since I lasted posted an article, so here goes… This article is based on something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. With more and more movies coming out on Blu-Ray, it is getting really tempting to pick up a Blu-Ray player (it’s a battle that’s still raging with me, but that’s another story). But since most of my hard-earned cash is going towards bills and such, that got me thinking… Let’s say you’ve spent your hard-earned cash on a beautiful big screen…

Episode 017 – Drag Me To Cells

June 8, 2009June 8, 2009 Doug Groves Palm Pre, PS3, Wii, Zune7 Comments

If you were planning on upgrading to a new smart phone this summer, we recommend that you give a listen to the mobile section of this episode to get an overview of what’s new or soon to be released. We also take a look at Sam Raimi’s “Drag Me To Hell”, “inFAMOUS” for the PS3 and “Punch Out” for the Wii, and more! This episode marks some upgrades and changes to the production end of the show, so you’ll see and especially hear a marked increase in quality (so we…

Assassin’s Creed II: November 17

June 3, 2009June 3, 2009 Doug Groves E3 2009, PC games, PS3, Xbox 36010 Comments

Mark your Julian calendar, because this November Assassin’s Creed II hits the shelves. Gameplay footage was shown off at the Sony presser today at E3. This time round you’re fast forwarding through time to play Rennaisance man Enzio (I’m only assuming he’s a relative of Altair’s). Playing Q to Enzio’s Bond is none other than Leonardo Da Vinci, tricking the surprisingly flashy assassin with flying wings and a gun… it’s at least somewhat era plausible though. That, and if the footage from today is any hint, Enzio will be able…

Sony’s E3 Conference: A little more of the same

June 2, 2009June 2, 2009 Danny X E3 2009, PS312 Comments

Sony’s Jack Tretton took the E3 stage today to tell us all about Sony’s new offerings for 2009. After bragging about the upcoming ~350 games (including 35 exclusives) for the PS3, PS2 and PSP, and the (fact?) that the PS3 is the only console powerful enough to make use of the stage’s 40×80 foot screen, and the usual “we’re doing awesome” rhetoric, he cut to the chase.

FrankenGame inFAMOUS looks like it might be fun

May 21, 2009June 2, 2009 Danny X PS36 Comments

Far be it from the lads at rgbFilter to pander to the whims of the game development community, but since we freely admit that we have yet to accept dime one from ANY game developer (or to be honest, anyone at all, much to Alex’s chagrin), I can honestly say that this preview I’m about to write comes from a place of total discretion and honesty. And that preview is simply this: inFAMOUS looks fucking awesome. InFAMOUS Channels the essences of some of my fave time-wasters of the past few…

YouTube for Television released for PS3 and Wii, sort of

January 30, 2009March 12, 2009 Danny X PS3, streaming, Wii, YouTube9 Comments

If you’re like me, the only exercise you often get on a Saturday afternoon is when you take a break from playing video games to walk into the next room where your computer lives and check out some videos on the Interwebz. Now, if you have either a PS3 or a Wii, YouTube has effectively robbed you of that 15 seconds of pure raw cardio by quietly offering up Youtube for Television, currently in Beta and advertised as only available for the aforementioned systems. Technically, the phrase “only available for…

An rgbFilter Review: Playstation 3’s Wireless Keypad

December 30, 2008July 9, 2009 Danny X PS3, review2 Comments

It’s no secret that communicating via text chat during online play is an integral part of gaming, and that the hunt & peck method of text inputting is a massive pain in the ass. You COULD use a USB keyboard, but playing online with a full-sized QWERTY on your lap the whole time is impractical, at best. Microsoft recognized the need for a text input device back in May ’07 and gave us the 360 Chatpad, effectively solving all our online chatting needs. Never one to admit its been outdone,…

Metal Gear Solid 4 via Zero Punctuation

June 25, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves PS3, video2 Comments

Yahtzee’s Zero Punctuation reviews are NEVER safe for work. Even if you’re not a gamer, they’re always worth watching. In the latest one, he talks MGS4, succinctly compiling all the criticisms of the game in one juicy little nugget, and stripping out all the gushing fanboyism that’s required of many gamings sites that are more concerned about their advanced copies and advertising revenue than their journalistic integrity.

GTA IV Release

April 29, 2008July 25, 2009 Doug Groves Microsoft, PS3, Sony, Xbox 3602 Comments

Grand Theft Auto IV could possibly beat Halo 3’s record smashing one day media cash cow extravaganza, especially when GTA IV has been released on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 on the same day. Halo 3 took in $300 million in one day, and GTA IV is estimated to top $400 million. Some pretty cool pics from the Toronto GTA IV pre-release event. Post photo courtesy of wv on flickr, who’s got a couple of more cool pics to boot.
