Viking: Battle for Asgard (Review)

Mar 25, 2008

You don’t judge your progress in Viking by high scores, percentage complete or rankings. You measure it in blisters - that old school badge of honour. The more pus you have swilling round beneath your swollen fingertips, the more pallid thick white skin that’s built up on your digits, the harder you’ve fought. Because in this game if you can still feel your thumbs midway through the first level, you aren’t ...

Violent new Viking screens (News)

Mar 18, 2008

Want ultra violence? How about this: a muscle-bound brute being sliced in half and their innards on show. Seriously, see for yourself. Nasty. Well, The Creative Assembly's Viking Battle for Asgard has been described as a "visceral wave of slaughter" after all. It appears that was no lie. We hope Battle for Asgard's as good as it's promising to be. It's out on PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of the month. ...

Blood, guts and dragons (Preview)

Mar 7, 2008

For 360 and PS3 owners, the month of March is a bit of a wasteland. Where's a gamer to turn for mindless violence and blistering action during this drought?

Viking: Battle for Asgard may be the answer. Wait... Viking what? Yeah, the fantasy-based hack 'n slasher isn't prominent on many players' radar. Here are five reasons why it SHOULD be.

Viking: Battle for Asgard (Preview)

Jan 11, 2008

Jan 11, 2008 On paper, Viking: Battle for Asgard sounds a lot like Dynasty Warriors, although this game is based on Norse mythology rather than actual events. The days of Ragnarok (the end of the world) have arrived and the demonic goddess Hel has unleashed an undead army on your heroic Viking people. You take on the mantle of mankinds last hope, Skarin, and do battle for the Vikings homeland of Midgard. Of course, Vikings were best known for going berserk on the battlefield, overcome with ...

Viking: Battle for Asgard - interview (Preview)

Dec 26, 2007

Dec 26, 2007 Viking: Battle for Asgard is shaping up to be a kick-ass berzerker-rage bloodbath, as evidenced in our earlier previews. Now we got a chance to talk to developer Mark Suthers about his bearded ...

Viking: Battle for Asgard (Preview)

Dec 6, 2007

Dec 6, 2007 A longboat packed full of hairy, sweaty Vikings gagging for a spot of raping and pillaging might not have been a pretty sight back in the day, but believe us when we tell you Battle for Asgard is more welcome than a refreshing mug of mead and more gorgeous than a busty beer wench. For instance, utilising a novel lighting system, Vikings islands resemble a dreamy landscape of fantasy. Rolling hills, verdant valleys, sprawling settlements, snowy peaks - it reminds us of Fable with ...

Viking: Battle for Asgard (Preview)

Oct 8, 2007

Oct 8, 2007 The echo of shattered bone and slopping coils of intestine resonates around the Leipzig demo room, as The Creative Assemblys James Carey gleefully demonstrates the inventive ways you can slaughter a foe. Creative Assembly might be renowned for their “historically accurate” Total War series on PC, but its apparent that their new next-gen project, Viking: Battle for Asgard, joyously chucks any semblance of beardy realism out of the window in favour of fantastical, gory ...

Viking: Battle for Asgard - savagery never looked so good (News)

Oct 5, 2007

Oct 5, 2007 Really bloody brutal. That's how we'd describe Viking: Battle for Asgard. Really bloody beautiful, however, is how we'd describe the first clutch of shots from the Creative Assembly developed PS3 and 360 game that's shaping up to be one of 2008's most exciting prospects. We saw Viking a couple of months ago and its barbaric brilliance absolutely blew the horns off our helmet. Its fantasy-flavoured world looks gorgeous, while the scale of its battles promise to be nothing short of ...

Sega's "visceral wave of slaughter" (News)

Aug 21, 2007

Aug 21, 2007 It turns out Sega's Viking: Battle of Asgard - previously spotted on retail listings - is the real deal after all. The official fanfare's gone out and the Viking actioner is heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 early next year. For the simple minded out there (like the window cleaners who left glass on our desks this morning), it sounds a bit like God of War with big, beardy Vikings. Playing as a barbarian called Skarin, Sega says you'll engage in a fierce struggle within the realm of the ...
