GTAV The pinacle of 3rd gen

13/09/2013

After the last generation launch I considered this same thought, and with the near launch of GTAV I think it’s cemented. Studios work out the best capabilities of the hardware, and tweak it with each patch and launch. So here in the pre-shadow of the release of the ‘4th gen’ consoles, we have the pinnacle of development with the current hardware. The XBOX One and PS4 may offer more polished…

gta 5 100 hours 100 days

10/09/2013

Rockstar spent 100 days on “research trips” to LA: “Out and about, all night long with weird people, strange cops showing us around, a lot of first-hand research. We spoke to FBI agents that have been undercover, experts in the Mafia, street gangsters who know the slang – we even went to see a proper prison. These poor buggers in the middle of the salt flat desert, miles away. It…

Aliens Matrix and gagster’s

01/09/2013

I didn’t really get into Saints Row 3, although I enjoyed the previous 2 instalments… it came across as a little forced. And for this reason I hadn’t been following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Row_IV prior to release, as I always consider it just another sandpit city gangsta title, to fill the gap between GTA. Nevertheless, I’m having fun 🙂 The superpowers are a nice touch, as are the comic book style aliens. The…

GTA V build up continues

14/08/2013

I posted last week how no-one does pre-launch like Rockstar, here’s more validation, truly huge hand painted murals in LA and NYC… I’m even tempted to pre-order, and I can never remember doing that for a game prior, I hate this seasons game drought. One sticking point is Xbox or PS3? Thinking Xbox for the multiplayer and Gamer Points 🙂

Second look in the Mirror

28/07/2013

Wow, who is not excited by this? The graphics look fantastic with the first person view signature white / red colour pallet, and Faith’s moves look more stunning and fluid than before. Although Mirror’s Edge 2 will be a first-person action adventure, it “will be a different Mirror’s Edge than you have seen before”, according to Patrick Söderlund, executive vice president of the EA Games Label. And if this isn’t…

Ultra Street Fighter 4 Announced

15/07/2013

Have to wait for 6 months, but here’s the trailer. This has been milked by Capcom, and considering I might switch from xbox to Steam for this release… if it runs on Linux then it’s a no brainer 🙂 Sad that I’m more excited by the nerfs and power mods than I am by the new characters.

I don’t know how I missed this on launch… or after spending a little time playing with it today, I may have deleted it on launch and forgot about it 🙂 There are only 2 reasons I boot up my xbox, for Street Fighter and kinect games. And after burning off a bit of sweat on sports titles this afternoon, I started messing about with the voice prompts. One thing…

Skyrim: Easy way beyond level 81

21/04/2013

Reading on the Bethesda Blog that the Skyrim team were moving on to their next projects, but there was one last gift to the community, Skyrim patch 1.9 [rating:4] Heaps of bug fixes, but it was the new features that motivated me to load up my last save point: Legendary difficulty setting Legendary Skills – Skills of 100 can be made Legendary. This will reset the skill to 15, return…

[rating:4] Article at SRK tells how over the next month Capcom are requesting suggestions from the SF gaming community, on changes they can make to characters and game play on the next game update. I hope they’re giving this one away free & we son’t have to shell out for a 4th revision of this SF incarnation! But the discussion at SRK is on more characters; so what can we…

no walking dead down under

bitches! I’ve just heard of this titles release from this sites rss. Cell shaded zombies, intriguing progressive plot, take my money. But no, another title not just toned down, but this time denied to us in the antipodean, and why? On Telltale Games’ official forum, a member asked about the release of The Walking Dead in Australia. An employee of Telltale replied with the following: “Sorry, but due to the…

I’ve both Dawnguard & Hearthfire installed, I’m finishing off the vamp missions, maxing our my vamp skill tree, before I plan to turn back to lupine. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed my time as a blood sucking creature of the night, but I find the dark lord far too overpowered. Twice in the last 24hrs I’ve been trying to fast travel & both times the game hangs on the…

Sleeping Dogs more Woo than Woo

26/08/2012

Hard Boiled is one of my all time favourites, Woo, Wong & Chow Yun-Fat together created a masterpiece. Stranglehold was fun, but Sleeping Dogs looks to be more undercover cop, Hong Kong, duel 9mm’s than its inspiration. An undercover cop, too deep in with the triad, Hong Kong based, open World title, was always going to be compared to Woo, so this post is probably already a cliche, but I…

I’ve been a little lapse adding posts lately, working down country (PSP time) & gratuitous gaming have kept me away. When I set up this blog, I also built a few twitter feeds, to keep me up to date with what’s happening in the geek World. Each of these then filters into #GamerGeekNews. So while setting up #XboxGeekNews, I searched Google for an image to use as an avatar… key…
