James Bond is a gamer!

360 Preview | 007: Quantum of Solace

During our recent visit to Treyarch’s LA studio, we had the opportunity see a demo of the upcoming 007: Quantum of Solace game and to interview Garrett Young, the Executive Producer. Aside from various details about the game, he also revealed that Daniel Craig is a gamer and likes to play Guitar Hero in his trailer on set. For the whole story on Quantum of Solace and Craig’s leet gaming skills, have a listen to our interview. But ...

Quantum of Solace

360 Preview | 007: Quantum of Solace

We last saw him in Casino Royale staring down the barrel of a gun at terrorist kingpin Mr White, shortly after shooting him in the leg - and the next film's going to kick off with Bond interrogating the murdering scumbag at MI6. The game, meanwhile, straddles both films - the developers have been to the sets of both, taking hundreds of reference photos since early in Casino's production - although because of security restrictions around Solace, most of the levels we've seen are from Casino Royale. ...

2006 FIFA World Cup Germany

360 Preview | 2006 FIFA World Cup

Friday 21 April 2006 If you're reading this on the same day we publish this article then it's 48 days until the World Cup kicks off. 48 days! That's only 1,152 hours, and if you sleep for eight hours a night, only 768 waking hours! As you might have gathered, we're quite excited about the whole thing and will be bouncing up and down with unadulterated joy until Ronaldinho inevitably single-handedly tears England apart in the semis and we're left sitting on the pavement outside the pub, our ...

2006 FIFA World Cup

360 Preview | 2006 FIFA World Cup

You wouldnt be remiss to consider EA Sports latest soccer game a quick sequel to the annual chart-topper, FIFA Soccer. No doubt the publisher wants to cash in on its massive investment in the worlds biggest sporting event. Curiously though, this games producer goes to great lengths to pitch 2006 FIFA World Cup as a sequel to the 2002 World Cup iteration, and not the recent FIFA Soccer 06. This matters why? Mainly because FIFA Soccer 06 was generally considered to be pretty stinky, particularly ...

3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures

360 Preview | 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures

Would that we were encamped in lovely downtown Barcelona, basking in the glory of Microsoft's X06 event and soaking up that Spanish sun, but alas, we're not. However, that can't stop us from letting you know a few things that are being rolled out there, including this one available from Xbox 360 Live Arcade, 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventure. Behold the revival of Sierra Online's 3D Ultra Minigolf series, first launched for PC waaay back in 1997. The original was little more that a set of staid, ...

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

360 Preview | 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

10 minutes into being shown 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand by developer Swordfish Studios (who thankfully had nothing to do with the terrible Bulletproof) we got the strangest feeling that this self-proclaimed 'long awaited' sequel might actually be, well, a pretty decent arcade shooter. ...

First online with Katamari, Ace Combat

360 Preview | Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

Aug 23, 2007 Plenty's already been said about Ace Combat 6 and Beautiful Katamari, but until this week no one had seen a drop of full-on multiplayer action. Both games promised the feature, and had been explained through text, but now we've finally spent some quality time with two of Namco's biggest hitters. Oh, and we dabbled with Tekken 5's new online mode on the PlayStation Network, but more on that later. Being the insatiable Ace fans that we are, Fires of Liberation was our first stop. ...

Ace Combat 6 - updated impressions

360 Preview | Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

Being the ardent Ace Combat fans that we are, we've covered the living daylights out of this 360-exclusive, and did it months ago. Didn't catch our massive Week of War? Now's the time to get totally caught up with interviews, retrospectives, the first hands-on and plenty of eye-popping screens. But wait - there's even more today. Our latest hands-on revealed very little in the way of new info or features that we haven't already discussed, but it did run much, much smoother than before. In ...

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

360 Preview | Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

After spending the better part of a week describing bits of what makes Ace Combat 6 such an exciting prospect, we feel it's time to share our initial impressions of the almost-complete version Namco provided. This build was about 60% done and needed a little tweaking in the sound and framerate departments, but we're confident the Ace team will have these issues tucked away before the game ships - no other game in the series has gone to stores chuggy or choppy, so we don't expect that to start ...

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

360 Preview | Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

Day one in our weeklong look at Fires of Liberation begins with an all-encompassing overview of the game's new features. Everything you've come to expect from the series is intact - a huge roster of planes, a creepily huge flying fortress and mission after mission of intense dogfighting action. But this has been the case since the series' debut more than a decade ago. What's new for the 360 version? A whole hell of a lot, ...
