The Top 7... Annoying nags that need to STFU (Feature)

Mar 30, 2009

We need to be told what to do in a game from time to time. We rely on helpful characters to issue us with objectives and point us in the right direction. Imagine the wasted hours if they weren't there to help. Trouble is, some of them go about it all wrong and - although they're trying to help - just get right on our tits. Honestly, Navi's a joy compared with these nagging characters that need to STFU.

THQ Explains Stuntman And Juiced Failures (News)

Feb 5, 2008

During THQ's financial conference call with analysts, company execs explained why two of their highly anticipated in-house games, Stuntman Ignition and Jucied 2: Hot Import Nights, did not do as well as anticipated in sales and reviews.

For Stuntman, the execs stated that they felt the game's design was too old-fashioned and highly scripted compared to the more open games that involve more player's choice that the publisher feels are more popular now.

For Juiced, THQ felt that giving the developer, Juiced Games, a total of six different platforms to develop all at once was too ambitious and that going forward THQ will only give their game developers no more than three SKUs to work on at once.

THQ has today announced its decision "not to pursue its Juiced and Stuntman intellectual properties".

Both franchises saw releases in 2007, with Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights and Stuntman: Ignition each releasing across multiple platforms. Although not receiving universal acclaim both titles were not without merit, Stuntman in particular proving great addictive fun for high-score junkies.

Stuntman: Ignition (Review)

Aug 28, 2007

Aug 29, 2007 They say that football is a game of two halves. Well, we don't know who "they" are exactly, but somebody had better tell them to include Stuntman: Ignition in that statement next time around. If you're not prepared to replay a level time and time again until it's perfected, then Stuntman's simply not for you. If, however, you're willing to pour blood, sweat and tears into a fairly unforgiving game in order to get the most out of it then there's plenty on offer here. To dismiss ...

Playstation 3 version Stuntman: Ignition delayed till October (News)

Jul 5, 2007

Again some bad news today for PlayStation 3 owners. THQ today released its new release list for their upcoming games, which includes Stuntman: Ignition. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 versions are due out in August 2007 but the PlayStation 3 version has been delayed to October 2007, which is another two months after the initial release.

This follows news of the PlayStation 3 versions of Colin Mcrae: DiRT, The Darkness (Only in Europe delayed), Medal of Honor: Airborne and now Stuntman: Ignition being delayed. This can't be good news for Sony if nearly from every multiplatform game the PlayStation 3 version is released later than other platforms.

Stuntman: Ignition - multiplayer hands-on (Preview)

Jun 29, 2007

Stuntman: Ignition isn't an average racer. When you're performing spectacular action sequences for a major film studio, hitting your marks is more important than crossing the finish line and style is more important than speed. This unique emphasis doesn't just affect the single player campaign (see here and here for impressions). It transforms the multiplayer, too. The game offers four modes of competition for up to eight players. The first, Movie Challenge, is the most straightforward. ...

We've got a tank full of new images showing off some of the game's stuntacular shenanigans. You can check the gallery of images here.

May 24, 2007

Video games are a cornucopia of entertainment options, but you know what's been missing? Another aggravating yet addictive title that makes you want to throw your controller at a puppy's cute face, take a whiz on your console, then keep on playing. Not since the first Stuntman in 2002 have we felt that combo of rage and determination, but with its sequel on the way, now would be a good time to start poppin' Prozacs. Stuntman: Ignition puts you in the shoes of a virtual Burt Reynolds, circa ...

Stuntman: Ignition - hands-on (Preview)

May 9, 2007

No matter what the DVD, as long as it contains some sort of manly action sequence, the first thing everybody hurriedly goes for in the Extra Features section is the bit that shows how amazing stunts were pulled off. No one cares whether the director felt a red lens filter added to a particular scene; what really matters is just how close the stuntman who flung himself and his car over a 200-foot cliff came to grim death. When Stuntman was released over five years ago on PS2, there was a ...

Stuntman: Ignition is many different games in one. As a daredevil driver hired to perform outrageous, but spot-on maneuvers for the movies, you'll be tasked with racing through six diverse film sets. One can put you in a pickup truck and have you slaloming around plummeting chunks of volcanic lava for a disaster flick, while the next might stick you in a muscle car and have you crashing through downtown storefront windows for an action blockbuster. ...

Stuntman: Ignition - Overdrive Hands-on (News)

With Stuntman: Ignition, THQ and Paradigm Entertainment aim to put gamers into the shoes of the world's most dangerous stunt driver.

Custom gameplay video for Stuntman: Ignition (News)

Mar 20, 2007

Despite its detrimentally frustrating difficulty, the original Stuntman on PS2 had one huge positive going for it: a kick-ass concept. Relocating the racing genre to a blockbuster movie set is genius, as driving through explosions and rocketing off ramps is way more exciting than simply motoring towards the finish line. The 360 / PS3 / PS2 sequel, Stuntman: Ignition, is hoping to do that concept the justice it deserves. As we reported in our recent hands-on impressions, the gameplay is much ...

You're gunning through the steep and winding streets of San Francisco. With a white-knuckle death grip on the steering wheel of your 1970s-style muscle car, you see the focus of your pursuit - a couple of criminal lowlifes in a beat up sedan - swerve unexpectedly and escape down a side alley. But you'll get to them later. First, you've got to smash through a glass window pane and launch yourself into the air off a conveniently placed wooden ramp. See, you're not the hero in Stuntman: ...
