You know the type: spiky hair, sad eyes, too many belt buckles in his ensemble to count. You might meet one or two of these guys in fighting games, or starring in a Prince of Persia sequel; more often than not, you’ll see them wangsting their hearts out in a sprawling Japanese RPG epic. ...

Guns that don’t shoot bullets (Team Fortress 2)

25/03/2009

16/10/2008

Valve's industrial revolution (Team Fortress 2)

18/05/2007

Back in 1996, two Microsoft executives quit their spectacularly high-paid jobs, formed a games company and made the best game ever. Twice. They didnt like the way retailers were throttling the industrys creativity, so they cut them out. They did what a lot of mod teams were doing, they hired them. They published any game they liked through their digital distribution network, however commercially risky, and saved several independent developers in the process. Their revolution was so successful ...

What will you fight for? That was the question Namco Bandai asked the UK when it invited the nation down to Namco Station in London for its prestigious tournament. Travelling from as far afield as Liverpool and Manchester, Tekken players from far and wide responded to the challenge as they all wanted to prove they were the best. Well, that and the small matter walking away with the grand prize of a 42” ...

The warriors of Tekken 6 – Part 2 (Tekken 6)

12/03/2009

All this talk about fighting games lately may have you thinking, “What about that awesome fighter Tekken? Isn’t a new one of those coming soon?” Well, your inquisitive mind is correct - Tekken 6 is coming this year for both the 360 and PS3, probably in the fall if we had to guess.

The warriors of Tekken 6 (Tekken 6)

12/02/2009

Would you believe it’s time for another King of Iron Fist tournament? It’s that special time where humans (young and old) tussle with bears for a shot at glory… or to take down a large corporation run by the devil. We can’t tell anymore what the Tekken series is about, but we have a damn good time playing.

Set for release this fall on the 360 and PS3 is Tekken 6, the biggest Tekken yet. With a rumored cast of 42 ...

The Top 7... Assassins (Tenchu Z)

6/02/2008

On some level, roughly 95 percent of games have always been about assassination: go to point A and kill prominent entity B, fighting your way through goons C through Z to get there. Most games tend to come up with a morally justifiable pretext for all the violence, but more and more, we're seeing games that drop the act and let you be what you've secretly known yourself to be all along: a remorseless killing machine bent on destroying your targets. ...

Terminator through time (Terminator Salvation - The Videogame)

19/05/2009

If there’s a character ideal for multiple mediums of sci-fi, it’s the Terminator or at least the idea of Terminators. The concept of a cyborg (cybernetic organism, or rather a robotic endoskeleton with living tissue over it) going back in time to kill the leader of the human resistance once the world goes kablooie isn’t that hard to grasp. ...

Will there be any decent movie tie-ins this year? (Terminator Salvation - The Videogame)

9/01/2009

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Ghostbusters on C64, Aladdin, Goldeneye, Riddick: the list of great movie tie-ins is barely longer than Russell Crowe’s temper. What chances, then, of even seeing a few good ones during 2009? Can the year that sees Barack Obama’s inauguration, a Michael Jackson comeback, and a Star Trek movie that doesn’t suck, prove that anything is possible?
