Halo 3: Landfall

By Gavin Mannion
October 31, 2007 - 18 years ago

South Africa’s Neill Blomkamp previously created 3 Halo shorts which have now all been put together and show a different view of Master Chief coming to save us all…. It really is a pity that Neill was never given the green light to make an official movie. I feel his movies give a nice realism to Halo and I am …

Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 is great

October 31, 2007 - 18 years ago

Any ideas on who said the following?  I was playing the PS3 build for a few hours tonight and it is really, really fantastic. Amazingly smooth and solid. I think you PS3 users are in for a huge treat with UT3. That would be Mark Rein of Epic fame… The guy who we have all come to know as a straight …

One of my most anticipated games this year is coming on the 16th of November. The local release date for Viva Pinata Party Animals has now been revealed and what is going to make my life easier is that it is coming in at a respectable R399 Set in the colourful and vibrant world of Pinata Island players get to ‘battle’ …

October 30, 2007 - 18 years ago

It appears that Xbox live has decided to go on strike. There is no mention of the problem on Major Nelsons website yet but all other Xbox live related sites are down as well. So is this just a really bad network failure or do you think we can expect our Fall update when it comes back up again? Since …

October 30, 2007 - 18 years ago

Empire online has had a chance to play Assassins Creed and has published their review of the game on there website. The review is nice and detailed and you can hear that they truly enjoyed the game but what got me was the following. Ironically, though, the game?s friendly controls are also its biggest shortcoming; killing your target normally instigates a …

Epic was ready to scrap Gears multiplayer

By Gavin Mannion
October 30, 2007 - 18 years ago

In what could possibly have been the worst move ever in gaming history, Epics Mike Capps was a day away from cutting the multi-player element of Gears of War totally. I was going to cut multiplayer from Gears because I thought it wasn’t coming together fast enough, right,” said Capps. “The day before E3 I’m like “no guys, it’s not pulling together”. And …

Halo Effect failed?

October 30, 2007 - 18 years ago

Well some suprising news doing the rounds this morning, it seems like all those reports of the Xbox 360 beating the Wii in September were a little pre-mature. Now that most of the shops have handed in their exact figures we can actually see that the 360 just missed out on winning the month by 5000 units. This is a blow …

October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

This game is just looking better and better. This is yet another teaser review of the game that many people are tipping to be the true game of the year. I think on the multi-player side it is easily going to be the most popular console game in South Africa since we don’t have that Halo heritage.

If you want Blu-Ray buy a PS3

By Gavin Mannion
October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

I was sent a tip this morning about how the Blu-Ray player manufacturers are cheating the system by getting their players certified before the stricter/better requirements come into effect on the 30th of October. We are currently in the Profile 1.0 generation but as of the 1st of November all Blu-Ray players certified will need to have a minimum of 256MB …
