Review

As splattery and graphic as an early Peter Jackson movie

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 ...

5 reasons to play Viking... even if you've never heard of it

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. ... » Read Full Viking: Battle for Asgard preview

Viking: Battle for Asgard

Meet Skarin - he's what Legolas would look like on steroids

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 ... » Read Full Viking: Battle for Asgard preview

Viking: Battle for Asgard

Bulging with Norse power and ready to raid

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 ... » Read Full Viking: Battle for Asgard preview

Viking: Battle for Asgard

Take a look at next-gen's bloodiest battlefield

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 ... » Read Full Viking: Battle for Asgard preview
