Dead Rising 2 - The Game Show... What?!

Looks like Dead rising is a game show along the lines of 'The Running Man', but with Zombies instead of over the hill wrestlers for baddies. Anyway, enjoy the latest TGS trailer.


Crackdown 2 - Footage from TGS

Looks Cracking!

Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 - Leaked footage - A whole level!!!

Wow... someone snook out some footage of MW2 and lashed it on YouTube! Great!!

Dead Rising 2 trailer from TGS - Zombies are such fun.

Pretty poor trailer actually, there's a bit of suspense I guess but not exactly Hitchcock. That said I recon DR2 is going to be awesome, so get out your brushes, were gonna paint the town red... literally!

Final Fantasy XIV Info - Get all Japanisey.


I hate Final Fantasy, always have. But I appreciate its impact on the gaming world so here is a trailer and a planned 250GB PS3 (due December 23rd) for your nerdy gratification. Only thing I'll say for it is the chicks are usually hot... for pixel people... but not in this trailer, unfortunately. 'Grumble'


Gears of War - Get your teeth into this!

Wouldn't mind this on my wall, or in my neighbours skull...
Here's some detail -
"The replica is 40 inches in length, weighs approximately 15 pounds, and features working LED effects. The estimated available ship date is February 2010."







Lost Planet 2 trailer - Its bigger and better and less cold.

Wasn't a massive fan of the first Lost Planet so I'm hoping the second one will slap me upside da head and make me change my mind, does look pretty good so far...

Splinter Cell Conviction trailer from TGS

Here's a cool trailer of Splinter Cell Conviction from the Tokyo Games Show. Boy am I glad I didn't piss off Sam Fisher, gulp!

Halo Encyclopedia - All things... Halo!


‘I can still remember the first time I really experienced Halo…it was stepping out of the crashed escape pod and into a world that would consume my professional and creative life for the next seven years. In the following pages, you’ll find a great deal of depth and drama and data – some familiar, some new. It’s fiction, of course, but we only ever want it to feel real. Because it’s real to us. These are places and times that we want to share with you.’ Frank O’ Connor – foreword

Star wars has its Bible, and so does God. Here's one to add to the mix, the 'Halo Encyclopedia'. It shall include all aspects of Halo, Spartans, The Human-Covenant War, general timeline and much more. Created in full collaboration with MS Game Studios and Bungie it is expected to be very rich in visuals and lore. It will also cover topics that appeared in the Halo series, Halo Wars and the latest addition ODST. No mention of Halo Reach yet but its a good bet that it too will be included in some form. The best news is that you wont have to wait too long for this lil beauty, it is available from 2nd November (2009). It will be going for 20 quid in the UK, cheap as chips!

Brutal Legend - The world of Metal.

Ever wonder what it would be like to live in the world of Metal? Lots of leather, spikes and hairy people? Exactly! Check it out in this Dev diary of sorts, and I warn thee now, the Goths will be offended... boo hoo. Coming in 'Rock-Tober'

Halo ODST - Free Premium Theme on XBL

Halo ODST premium theme is now available for free... that's right Microsoft are actually giving us some thing for nothing... if your a Gold member that is. Get downloading before they change their mind... which will happen, its a limited time offer! Pity they wouldn't throw in the remote controlled warthog too...

Left 4 Dead News - Double the Dammage!

Three nice nuggets of zombie fun for ya!

Firstly, the release date for the blood dripping DLC level
'Crash Course' will be available for PC and Xbox 360 September 29 (2009). But here's the rub... PC is free... Xbox is around 560 MS points... Most displeasing to the xbox owners and a stupid setup on Microsoft's part (not Valve). Never the less I shall still be fool enough to buy it if necessary. It is the missing link between levels 'No Mercy' and 'Death Toll' so get ready to splatter more brains!


Secondly is the release date of the upcoming demo of 'Left4Dead 2'. It is available for download October 27 (2009), no details yet on what map or what platform but I recon its probably fair to say it will be simultaneous for PC and Xbox 360. Cant wait to swing a fire axe for the benefit of mankind!






Lastly, you may notice there is a Left 4 Dead update available next time you boot up, this includes 10 new achievements in preparation for 'Crash Course' and also an updated HUD for the multi player infected player screen. Valve are good to us indeed.

Avatar - The Game - Not an Arnie in sight!

If your nutty about Avatar, James Cameron's new movie - game project you will enjoy this. Personally I recon its a lot of hype and doubt that it will be justified... hopefully I'm wrong and this ship doesn't sink... Arff, Arff!
