Lost Odyssey Preview

By Gavin Mannion
December 10, 2007 - 18 years ago

IGN has received a preview copy of the final build of Lost Odyssey and they are not impressed. In the six hours that I’ve played so far, Lost Odyssey has been a technical mess, with framerate problems in just about every cinema and on most maps, an animation system that looks like it was ported straight from a PS2 engine, …

How have I not heard of this before? Battle Rage is coming soon to the 360 and PC and looks like it may be a whole heap pf fun. In the words of the developers themselves..

Get your XBox 360 to play m4v files..

By feo
December 9, 2007 - 18 years ago

OK so everyone’s been raving about how the fall update has added divx playback to the 360 which is all good and well but then there’s the folks out there that use iTunes. Apparently, when you download/subscribe to vidcasts through iTunes, some of them are in mp4 format (the extension is actually m4v). OK, enough of this boring stuff, how …

MX vs ATV – Video

By Gavin Mannion
December 8, 2007 - 18 years ago

I received an email this morning from a marketing company in the US who asked me if I would like to review a game for them. Now this happens on a semi-regular basis and when they find out I live in South Africa they normally run out of review copies. Which is understandable really, it’s not like we are the …

Is it art?

December 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

  Can you see it? In the image above someone has used Forge in Halo 3 to create a self portrait… To be honest I couldn’t see it at first and needed the larger image (click image) to find it.  I wish I had the ability to do things like this as it really is quite cool… You can read …

December 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

So we all enjoy our games and most of us probably play for slightly longer than is really healthy, however I am glad to say that I don’t meet any of the obsession levels according to Gamesradar… They have a list of 10 obvious signs that you are obsessed with gaming, from getting huge gaming tattoos or falling asleep while …

Do you use skins? You should…

By Gavin Mannion
December 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

I posted an article a good couple of months ago about Myskins.co.za which is a local website that sells skins (covers) for gaming consoles, controllers and laptops. Well after that article they were kind enough to send me a voucher for a skin for me to try out. Now honestly I have never been a fan of skins or anything …

Grand Theft Auto IV – New Trailer

By Gavin Mannion
December 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

I am honestly trying to ignore this game completely. It looks so brilliant and it isn’t coming out for months still… However it just wouldn’t be fair to ignore this trailer… It seems the media machine has been started and we can expect a lot more GTA news in the coming months.

Since we generally follow the European release dates down here in deepest darkest Africa we are happy to see that a EU Rockband release hsa been announced… I have emailed EA South Africa to see if they will confirm that we will be getting the game on the 6th of March 2008 as well.

Army Of Two Being Delayed Because It Sucks?

By Gavin Mannion
December 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

This was one of my most anticipated games earlier this year but now after reading some comments from the writers of the Xbox World Magazine it seems like this could well be a terrible failure… As it stands, Army of Two is a juvenile swear-fest with clumsy controls, a story apparently penned by a seven year old who hates them …

It seems like Yahtzee has heard about my Assassin’s Creed review comp and has submitted the following video as his entry…. However in the interest of fairness I am going to disqualify his entry… I think he gets enough free games already 🙂 The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Assassin’s Creed

This is the first honest to goodness Unreal Tournament gameplay that I have seen for the PS3….
