GamesRadar - Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure

Games take over corporate logos (Feature)

Sep 4, 2008

I literally sat at my desk for hours trying to come up with some kind of witty or insightful introduction to this article. I tried to play up our shared history as gamers, that we play so many of these damn things it’s easy to picture game names in place of everyday brands. ...

59 levels to play before you die: M - S (Feature)

Mar 21, 2008

Bloc Party's song "Helicopter" can make anything amazing, but it didn't have to work too hard during the tram-ride sequence in Getting Up. Say what you will about the game, but frantically leaping between four aerial cable cars and shimmying around their edges to spray paint a single giant message - all while dodging machinegun fire and tossing riot cops - felt overwhelmingly badass the first time we did it. ...

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice awards 2006 (Feature)

Dec 22, 2006

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled. How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided ...

Ecko eyes up Revolution (News)

Apr 4, 2006

Tuesday 4 April 2006 Marc Ecko, the designer behind - you guessed it - Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, has hinted that a Revolution-specific Getting Up graffiti game could be a distinct possibility. When it was suggested that the urban artwork antics of Getting Up would lend themselves perfectly to Revolution's unique controller, Ecko admitted in an interview with GameDaily.com that he was "all over it" - suggesting that some serious thought has already been given to the idea ...

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (Review)

Mar 2, 2006

By all rights, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure should be terrible. The latest in a long line of mostly dismal "urban" games, it's packed full of brand logos, but still aims for a guerilla image. It's been delayed for years. And if that weren't enough, it's the brainchild of a fashion designer. So it's a shocker that Getting Up not only does its "street" atmosphere up right, but actually puts together a competent beat-'em-up/graffiti experience. Playing like an inner-city Prince ...

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (Preview)

Feb 7, 2006

It probably won't do for graffiti what the Tony Hawk games did for skateboarding, but Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure has gotten a pretty bad rap lately. A game about a graffiti artist living in a police state where tagging is a capital crime, it's been called everything from a celebration of vandalism to a gang-recruitment tool. But regardless of what its critics say, Getting Up takes an interesting spin on the urban-crime genre and, if done right, could be a lot of ...
