There are some games that occasionally just don’t register on my radar, and Syndicate was one of them. Please note that the main word in that previous sentence: was. I had the pleasure of heading down to the EA offices in Guildford to go hands-on with a level from the co-op campaign.
I like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I like it a lot. Now usually when I get a chance to preview a game when I come back to write about it, we usually go with the Death By Robots faithful of ‘what I think of the game, I will take you through step by step what I did’: “I created my character and then I launched the game and then I swung my sword about and then I spoke to an NPC”… that kind of thing. But not today, oh no.
Over the last few weeks I have found myself engrossed in two completely different types of game; Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception and Skyrim couldn’t be further apart from each other in the way each plays and how their stories are told.
The WWE Smackdown v Raw series has stagnated over the years. The yearly releases brought less and less significant updates, and if you played one from a couple of years ago you aren’t really missing out on much if you didn’t pick up the most recent title. It’s not just a problem with sports titles (yes, I’m clarifying WWE games as sports titles), it is becoming more apparent in all genres with developers/publishers rolling out new titles year in year out to cash in on their popularity. It takes a brave person to see that their franchise has stalled and choose to do something about it. That is what THQ have done with their newest title, WWE 12.
I don’t really read books, I just can’t sit down and concentrate on digesting the words on the pages. Maybe it’s because my imagination just isn’t what it should be and I would rather have it spelt out for me on a screen. The problem with not reading is that rarely do I get to engross myself in a good story, losing myself in characters that I care about and wanting to learn their ultimate fates.
For those of you who have been keeping up with the WWE 12 news on DBR you will have noticed my name next to lots of it. If you listen to the podcast you will usually hear me mention WWE somewhere in the show.
The master of stealth himself, Solid Snake has decided that he doesn’t want to grace us with his presence this year after all.
London, where dreams are made and your snot turns black when you have been there too long. London is also the place where industry heavyweights gather every year to battle it out to win a Golden Joystick.
On Monday 10th October a story hit the interwebz that showed an Australian magazine cover confirming the existence of Mass Effect 3‘s multiplayer.
Have you ever wanted to set up your own business? Well, not just a business but one that was doing something you love? For a lot of you reading this that would be video games. I know I have thought of it a lot, “what can I do that will make me money and means I work in video games?” I have yet to find that answer, I’m still trying don’t you worry, but for some people they have made their dream a reality.
