So I was at the EA Games offices in Fourways the other day having a chat about their upcoming games. Specifically Army of Two which is on my must have list. Anyway we got to talking about Battlefield: Bad Company which I have been very interested in but I was under the impression that we wouldn’t be seeing it until …

  Gamerhelp.com has put together a list of 10 gaming characters and their real life twins. The similarity is actually quite shocking with some of them, especially Chyna from the WWF and to be honest I always thought Dhalsim (from the Street Fighter series) was modelled on Ghandi… Separated at Birth: 10 Game Characters and their Real Life Lookalikes on …

It has been mentioned plenty of times about how much money Sony loses on every PlayStation 3 they manufacture. The latest numbers were that Nintendo has made a profit from day one on every Wii they make, Microsoft has been making about $75 profit since June last year and Sony has been losing between $300-$400 per console. It seems that …

I think anyone who has ever played a fighting game has played Street Fighter IV. Now it is being redone into high definition and is about to be released, while I am not the biggest fan of redoing old games this one is truly a classic. I am really looking forward to this. [Update] As Pillsbury has kindly pointed out …

  Well this isn’t very cool at all. According to Game Partisan there has been some very unfriendly commentary between the two companies with the latest round ending as so. “They have been evasive, rude, bigoted and downright offensive to me on the phone and by email. This was punctuated by a conversation yesterday between a Microsoft rep and our …

Some awesome news for Soul Calibur fans. Ubisoft has been given the rights to distribute Soul Calibur IV (360 and PS3) and Soul Calibur Legends across all PAL territories. What this means is that Megarom are going to be bringing it into South Africa in the Winter of 2008. Check the video above for the CES trailer that has just …

Anyone remember that theatre level from Rainbow 6 Vegas? The one that a lot of people were stuck on for ages, well it’s back in the sequel and is the setting for most of this trailer. Nothing is being revealed in this trailer but I loved the first game and am happily going to be part of the hype for …

If you were wondering why there were so few postings yesterday, wonder no more… It was thanks to our monopolistic electricity supplier Eskom and the unexpected rolling blackouts. Yup first my house was hit by load shedding and then as I reached my office it got taken down. I then finally gave up and came home only to be hit …

This has been reported by numerous different online websites and is either a rumour that won’t go away (MGS on 360) or based on fact. It appears that Toshiba dropped of an envelope stuffed with 1 million $100 bills to try and get Warner Bros to become HD-DVD exclusive.  $100 million is a huge number and it is quite suprising …

So after many bad reviews, horrible press attention and being the centre of the Gamespot debacle Kane & Lynch finally arrived at the retailers. And it seems that the either the huge media typhoon worked, or the game isn’t half bad. It has now officially sold over a million copies which means it will most likely turn into a franchise. …

Well it is according to Bill Gates. I have a feeling he hasn’t spent that much time in the Xbox department for him to believe that. While he does admit that they used to have some reliability problems he seems to think that they are now resolved and the 360 is now the most reliable console. Well we certainly had …

Gamespot has been at CES and chatting to the nice people at the MGS4 booth. We get some information about a MGS starter pack which is on it’s way as well as some new gameplay footage. Most of it is looking really cool but I still worry about the complete lack of AI. The ring of threat seems like a …
