Square Enix Has Gone Country…

…or at least that’s what the first half of their new game trailer had ME believing. (Sorry about the poor quality but other than their Website, Square hasn’t released the trailer officially as far as I could tell) Of course, about halfway through the trailer for Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers (CB), the music and [...]

Sony Announces Fix To Backwards Compatibility

Who the Hell is Alan Wake?

I remember first hearing about this game back in 2006 in Game Informer magazine. At the time, all they had to go on was a couple of screenshots and the assurance of Remedy Entertainment that this would be the most epic of all games. Ever. And, since the Finnish company is the same development studio [...]

Their latest addition to the website is Zombie Hooker Nightmare. The [...]

Video Debuts From GDC 2009

Being a rail shooter of dubious plot and even worse character development, it would be unfair in my mind to compare it to juggernauts Resident Evil or Silent Hill. But coupling zombies that fall from the sky [...]

Dysentary Is Still Fun!

A couple of weeks ago, I posted that I had discovered that mobile gaming had emerged from the ages of ‘Snake’ and into a surprisingly fun experience while I was busy ‘paying bills’. Having wet my feet with the several demos that came pre-programmed on my phone, I set about the task of downloading The [...]

Indiana Jones Game Reappears

Hey, remember when Lucas Arts announced they were in the process of making a new Indiana Jones game for the next generation consoles? No? Well that’s probably because it was all over the internet. In 2006. The game was supposed to be developed using the Euphoria engine (same as used in Star Wars: The Force [...]
