Splatterhouse trailer. Let the Bodies hit the Floor!!

This looks like a total Z list game and I bet it will be pretty crap, who cares!! Its Splatterhouse and it will have the old arcade games rolled in with it. Hopefully it will be better than expected but at least the novelty of ripping off a baddies arm and beating him to death with it will give one a sense of zen, for that alone it should be worth a go!

DiRT 3 Developer Q&A

Although living in the murky realms of 2011, make no mistake Dirt3 is coming,and coming like an out of control freight train going sideways on gravel. Moreover, by telling us that sixty percent of the game play will be based on rally stages just makes me want to make sure I’m on that train. The game will also include Gymkhana, which should be a blast going around Monaco and L.A's coliseum in a rally car..

Kinect Launch Ireland & Initial Impressions

Some of the Reaper Gaming team recently attended the Kinect Launch in Dublin. Much fun was had by the Reaper crew (a little too much free alcohol fun for one ExcitingAlien). Being the shy basement dwelling types, we decided to just watch other people make fools of themselves and flay about like mentalists on fire. However, we did get to try out some of the Kinect launch titles, which even the hardest of hardcore gamers would have trouble denying that they're fun to play. Only time will tell whether it turns out to be a gimmick, or whether it'll actually fulfil its potential of being something truly immersive.

Below are some photos from the night. Notable attendees included Fight Like Apes, Steven Cooper (98fm), Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Gary Brennan (RTÉ's FourLive) and 'the guy with the hair from the thing that used to be the Den'. A big 'shout out' to 'Pockets' of FLA - a true retrogamer, Piaras and David at Edelman for inviting us, and our friends at Average Film Reviews & TechTV101.

We've been testing out Kinect for a short while and we'll posting our impressions in the coming days.



LA Noir - Finally, a trailer...

Well, Rockstar promised us the trailer for LA Noir today and they delivered! Check it out below. Looks pretty good, although theres not really allot to judge it on. Love the concept and the music sets the tone... Ooo the drama! They even have the token Irish cop, Be-gorra! Bet theres a bunch of Irish drunks in it too... Arg! Looking forward to this one and with Rockstar at the helm its hard to see how ithe game could be crap, right? - Spring 2011 is the date for now.

Sony PS3 TV ads - WTF!!!

Aghhhh!!! Its a giant baby!! Sweet Jesus, someone call a doctor, that kid must have a massive tumour. If I saw him walking towards me I would run away in terror... not smile at that mutated cranium! Judging by the second video this condition is spreading... Shoot on sight I say, it would be impossible to miss a headshot... Time for some Left 4 Head methinks! PS3 TV commercials are so... odd.

Free COD clothing for the ladies!

We have it on good authority that any Lady Avatars on the Xbox 360 can get two pieces of clothing for Call of Duty Black Ops, totally free... the 'SR 71 Flight Suit' and the 'Woods Outfit'. The reason for this is cos Activision gave free codes to people who bought the special editions and pre-orders but forgot to include chicks in all of it... how sexist! Anyway, 'shut up and tell us the free codes you pleb' I hear you scream... Oh, ok then, here they are:
SR 71 Flight Suit - GYVF8-PF7RY-28D7V-VGWV8-CFGRM
Woods Outfit - R76BQ-CR3MF-G2TTF-9G36R-BQWJD

You cant try them on first aparently, so there will be no 'does my bum look big in this' moments. Well ladies... got anything for me? Boww-chicka waaa waa... eh! ;)

Call Of Duty Black Ops - Easter eggs and Unlockables

Now that COD BO is being played with more than Charlie Sheens wiggley bits, we all have an idea of just how good the game is... but if that's not enough for ya and you are wondering how to play that mini game DOA that you may have heard about or for loads more goody bits, just check out the G4 reveal below. Don't worry, theres no spoilers. Its a nice touch this, I like it! Other game developers - take note! Good one for all you computer nerds out there also...
