Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising (Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising)

Jul 11, 2008

There is one question to ask, one question to answer even before the demonstration begins. One question that almost defines the development of Operation Flashpoint 2. “Can you do that?” We point at the incredible rendered scenes that the British developers, Codemasters, have made available to the press. ...

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising (Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising)

Jan 22, 2008

Currently feathering its nest with engine-refinements before presenting itself to the world in its full-motion glory, Operation Flashpoint 2 could be the most hardcore military sim weve seen in ...

The Outsider (The Outsider)

Feb 11, 2008

We’re officially excited about The Outsider - despite the fact that it’s still a loooong way off yet. Penciled in for ‘09, Frontier’s plans for its all-action freeform thriller are so large it’s going to take all that time and more for them to realise its obvious potential. Big cheese David Braben refers to it as the first true open world game, where you genuinely do have freedom of choice over what you do and ...

Anything to resist the urge to yell ...

The Outsider (The Outsider)

Feb 21, 2007

Were pretty excited about The Outsider - its one of the few games out there thats genuinely attempting to break new ground. Okay, the ingredients, although quite cool-sounding, dont really hint at revolution: youre a CIA agent, Jameson, based in Washington but through no fault of your own end up as public enemy number one in the eyes of the media and the public after the President gets popped. But from here you make your own path - do you wreak revenge on those who wronged you? Try and clear ...

Overlord: Raising Hell (Overlord)

May 7, 2008

Make no mistake; this is a game about being evil. Not evil in ‘six axis of terror’ way. Not even evil in the traditional videogames ‘make moral decisions’ way - but classic, pantomime evil. This is about the kind of folklore evil that involves slaughtering sheep for no reason other than you can, destroying peasant farms on a whim and commanding minions with a lisp to make Gollum point and laugh. Oh the fun.
