'Euro 2008 is best ever FIFA' (UEFA Euro 2008)

Apr 23, 2008

EA has high hopes for new release UEFA Euro 2008, labelling it the best football title the company has produced in 15 years.

The licensed football franchise hits shelves today (April 18th) and despite England's abysmal failure to qualify for the real tournament, EA is confident that the quality of the title and the chance to take an in-game England through to Euro 2008 will ensure another sales success.

Speaking to MCV the title's producer Simon Humber confidently revealed EA's high expectations for the game, despite none of the home nations reaching the Euro 2008 finals this year.

If New UFC Game Sucks, Quinton Jackson Will Kill A Developer (UFC 2009 Undisputed)

Jul 7, 2008

THQ and Yuke's, most famous for their wrestling game collaborations, are bringing the fight to your house with UFC 2009 Undisputed. The game will be on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and some of the UFC's greatest got their hands on the game at a recent press junket.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson told reporters he wants to "praise God" for being in a game. Apparently he's not kidding, as his trainer said Jackson is gaming whenever he isn't training. He blew quickly through Grand Theft Auto IV with a pretty high completion rating from what we hear. Jackson said a college roommate estimates the UFC star spent 14 hours a day gaming.

Playfire.com launches new trophy leaderboard and new site look (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)

Oct 8, 2008

Today Playfire launched a major update to the PF trophy system. We've overhauled the profile page trophy module significantly. It now functions like an overview and takes up way less profile page space. To do this we've moved all the trophies listed here previously to a brand new trophy cabinet page (but more on that later Wink). In the new module you can find cool stats like your percentage complete for your games and your leaderboard rank (dun dun dah!) plus lots of other cool stats about your trophies.

Click on the cabinet link or on a game title will take you to the new trophy cabinet I mentioned a second ago. It's basically a way to view yours and others hard earned trophies. We felt trophies were pretty important so we dedicated a whole page to them which we even styled like the XMB trophy system with a fully functioning, animated progress bar! Simply click "show all" to view all of your glorious trophies "XMB style".

we've added a brand new trophy leader board that you can use to see how you fair amongst your Playfire friends, fellow countryman and even the global PSN elite!

First Uncharted Movie Details (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)

Oct 3, 2008

Kotaku writes: "In case you missed it, our own Mr. Hollywood, John Gaudiosi, ran an excellent feature this morning on the Avrads, and their plans to start making video game movies that don't suck. Avrad gives the first details on the Uncharted movie project, which until now had only been hinted at.

When it comes to the big screen adventure, Arad said the plan is to mix things up a little bit. In the game, the action moves very quickly to the island, but the film will open things up a bit and add some depth before the island adventure.

So, more talking, more sexual tension, less gunplay. Avrad also stresses that Nathan Drake is not just another Indiana Jones clone, saying "Indiana Jones was always a good guy and he relentlessly did the right thing. Drake is a guy who's being hauled over to virtue throughout the game"."

Uncharted Trophy patch finally hits Asia (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)

Sep 10, 2008

PS3Fanboy: "When we first restarted the Ask PS3 Fanboy column we were bombarded with a hail of Uncharted questions. All of them were regarding the Asian version of the game, and a good portion of those were about Trophies. While North American and European gamers quietly racked up a Trophy collection last month, Asian gamers were left without the enhanced feature. That, however, appears to be changing as reader KhunMo tells us the Asian Trophies patch for Uncharted is now out."

Buzz Trophies to hit before Uncharted? (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)

Aug 2, 2008

TalkPlayStation.com writes:"Dan_relentless, part of the development team for Buzz has spoken on the Official European Playstation Forums. Dan basically said that he aims to launch Trophies for Buzz before Uncharted. He didn't specify a date but 'hopes to beat Uncharted'.

"We've had a couple of last minute bugs, and some tweaks to do. When trophies become involved you have start ensuring that cheating is prevented, or at least made harder, so there've been a few things like that that have slowed things down.

There are downsides to being one of the first Blu-Rays with trophies going through QA, lots of new rules and tests, and we've included online as well, so it's double complicated.

So no dates, but we still hope to beat Uncharted…""
