That Took Too Much Effort

I’m not going to lie, many of the games at the Sony Spring Showcase today didn’t really tickle my fancy. And I think it has something to do with how much they resemble other games I’ve played. For example, Game of Thrones (the game) looks very much like Dragon Age, Skyrim, or most other medieval [...]

The first thing I noticed about Xenoblade Chronicles was how subpar the graphics were. And with its vast landscapes, mechanical creatures and all the rest in between, this game had so much potential to look incredibly breathtaking. But it didn’t! And sure, the fact that it’s on the Wii is primarily to blame, but I [...]

This new family friendly adventure and platforming title recently released on all of the major home consoles, and features a cast of your (or your kids’) favourite Disney characters. We also [...]

The Playstation Vita is a device with a lot of potential. With all its buttons, dual joysticks and touch screen and back touchpad, there is a lot of room for developers to make a wide variety of interesting and original games. And I’m glad to say that I’ve already seen one game that looks to [...]

So last week Eli and I went to the Sony Holiday Preview Event where they had, you guessed it, stuff! Stuff of all sorts of varieties! From games, to other games, to even more games! There were also some new gadgets, like the Vita, and the Personal 3D Viewer. And, to top it off, there [...]

Okay. Consider me wowed. Nathan and I got the chance to attend Sony’s annual Playstation Holiday Preview event last week and, as you might expect, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception was the biggest title on the block. And I mean that in the literal sense. Its display even had a crashed plane, giant Nathan Drake and [...]

At X’11 I got a chance to talk, and dance, with a hotty hotty bo-botty, banana fanna fo-fotty. She told me all about the new features in Just Dance 3, which I barely heard as I was too busy trying not to sound, or smell, like a bumbling idiot. Because, as we all know, hot [...]

Nathan loves the Forza Motorsport franchise. I might go as far as to say he’s obsessed with it, were it not for the fact that he’s more the type of person to wait for a game’s release, or at least an interview, to discover some of its key features. Case in point, his interview at [...]

As you probably already surmised from the headline, Epic Games showed off the Horde 2.0 and Beast multiplayer modes from Gears of War 3 at X’11, and I’m happy to say that I was thoroughly impressed by both. Horde 2.0 builds on some already great cooperative survival gameplay by giving you more than just your [...]

Forza Motorsport 3 was a fantastic game, with highly realistic graphics, a wide range of beautiful cars, and loads of races to compete in. And I thought that Turn 10 had hit their peak, the pinnacle of excellence for the series. Well, I was wrong. At last week’s X’11 event, they were showing off Forza [...]
