Will there be any decent movie tie-ins this year? (Wanted: Weapons of Fate)

Jan 9, 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?

Pistol Porn (Wanted: Weapons of Fate)

Nov 17, 2008

Wesley’s days of playing a timid office drone are over. He’s embracing his new role as a gun-slinging assassin in Wanted: Weapons of Fate. The game takes place after the events in the 2008 movie, and apparently, Wesley’s trying to find out what happened to his mother. ...

The Top 7... Assassins (Warriors Orochi)

Feb 6, 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. ...

The worst screenshots of E3 2009 (Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2)

Jun 9, 2009

The whole point of E3 is for publishers and developers to show off their new games under controlled conditions. You know, to let them show them in the way they want them to be seen without journos choosing to show the flaws.

AND YET. We still get sent screenshots that look like someone deliberately picked them to make the game look bad. Look at these amazing examples of fail from this year's show ...

Watchmen: Everything you need to know (Watchmen: The End is Nigh - Xbox Live Arcade)

Mar 4, 2009

If you’re any sort of pop culture fan and haven’t heard of Watchmen - the celebrated graphic novel from Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons - then we wonder what it’s like to be a depressing individual. Released as 12 comics between 1986 and ’87, Watchmen is at its core a noir detective story. ...

GR vs OXM: Does the Watchmen game suck? (Watchmen: The End is Nigh - Xbox Live Arcade)

Mar 3, 2009

Watchmen fever has struck. The unfilmable graphic novel hits theatres this week and as per usual, there’s a videogame tie-in. Instead of being based directly on the comic, Watchmen: The End is Nigh focuses on the events beforehand, namely the time when Nite Owl and Rorschach were crime fighting partners trying to take down the Underboss, a villain briefly mentioned in the comic. ...

The secret history of Wolfenstein (Wolfenstein)

Mar 13, 2009

It’s a common complaint among fans of World War II shooters: In the age of Medal of Honor and Call of Duty, the Wolfenstein series – with its Nazi über-soldiers, leather-clad SS dominatrices and undead monstrosities – is quaint, cartoonish and rooted in an era where videogames were too primitive to handle historical accuracy. ...

Mecha-Men we want to fight (Wolfenstein)

Mar 11, 2009

Nobody likes Hitler. Mecha-Hitler, on the other hand, is irresistible. Maybe it’s the extra chainguns. Maybe it’s his over-sized armor. Whatever the reason, more metal seems to make boss fights more fun. Unfortunately, Mecha-Hitler - and his tiny toothbrush mustache - won’t be making an appearance in the next Wolfenstein game. ...

Wolfenstein through the ages (Wolfenstein)

Mar 10, 2009

Nazis are bad guys that need no back story. They’re evil. They want to take over the world. Plus, they’re really, really racist. And out of all the good guys in the history of gaming, no one’s put more of these bad guys to bed than Wolfenstein’s main hero, BJ Blazkowicz. Under the watchful eyes of his iconic bloodstained mug, mecha-Hitler was scrapped, legions of SS guards were slain, and countless secret rooms (full of Nazi gold) were discovered ...

Dec 3, 2007

Dec 3, 2007 World in Conflict is an immersive mother of a real-time strategy game, making players team up tactically to solve objectives in small skirmishes, eschewing micromanagement of all kinds.
