That Took Too Much Effort

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 [...]

Ubisoft is bringing Rayman back to his roots with its upcoming title Rayman Origins. It’s the first Rayman platformer in years and the first title in the franchise to actually focus on Rayman himself since… well, the second title in the Raving Rabbids portion of the franchise. Michel Ancel and his team have been working [...]

While at Microsoft Canada’s X’11 event last week, I took a few minutes, to try out Twisted Pixel Games’ upcoming third-person on-rails shooter… marionette Kinect title, The Gunstringer. Without a Kinect of my own at home, this was the perfect time to try out the game, as I don’t see another opportunity arising any time [...]

While at Microsoft Canada’s X’11 event last week, Nathan and I took in the sights and sounds of Batman: Arkham City, the upcoming sequel to Rocksteady Studios, Eidos and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s 2009 Game of the Year hit, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Neither of us played the title (unless Nathan did during one of his [...]

With the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta closed for nearly two weeks, I’ve had some time to sit and think about my experiences. Yes, I could have done this sooner, but time is needed to fully process… alright! I’m lazy! Here are my thoughts. The gameplay was rock solid, with few initial connection issues [...]

This past Thursday, Nathan and I joined our fellow Toronto-based video game journalists, and a lucky few Twitter contest winners, at Microsoft Canada’s Toronto offices for a preview of the upcoming multiplayer beta for Gears of War 3. Rod Fergusson, the game’s executive producer (he’s also been with the franchise from the start), was also [...]
