Fallout New Vegas trailer

As a fan of Fallout 3 and its unique post apocalyptic 1950s setting I’m overjoyed to see that Bethesda has released the first trailer for their new game, Fallout New Vegas. not much is known about it but for fans of the Fallout world, we can look forward to joining up with Pipboy and co in later this year.  If you haven’t had a chance to play Fallout 3 yet then now’s the perfect opportunity to grab a cheap copy of the GOTY edition that contains the game and all its released DLC.

Zombies and high fives

Its time for another reviews update.  The end of 2009 was quiet in terms of game releases but I did manage to get two reviews out during December and January:

  • Left 4 Dead 2 – If you have a fondness for zombie films and you love playing co-op then Valve’s zombie shooter will be as close to heaven as you can get without growing wings and playing a harp.
  • Army of Two: The 40th Day – It’s loud, brash and oozes pure machismo but its a fun shooter that doesn’t try to be anything else.

Give the reviews a read if you’re interested and as always comments on the site are more than welcome! :)

Weapons & Death

Rockstar has just released the second in its series of gameplay videos for the upcoming Western game Red Dead Redemption. I’m getting all the more excited for this game after watching Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In The West. April can’t come soon enough! :)

Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood review

Being a Western fan is tough if you’re a gamer, while there have been more WW2 FPS games than you can count there have been so few Western games that only two spring to mind, Call of Juarez and Red Dead Revolver.  It’s been an especially lean time as both games came out several years back, but Ubisoft and Techland are looking to keep the passion burning by releasing a prequel to their first Call of Juarez game with Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.

Batman Arkham Asylum review

If there’s one thing that all superhero and licensed titles have in common it is that they are universally terrible.  Sure there have been some games that haven’t been exactly terrible, but at best you’d say they were decidedly average (X-Men Origins: Wolverine I’m looking mat you) and as a fan of comic books you’d be left wondering if your favourite hero would ever feature in a game worthy of his or her talents.  Enter Batman: Arkham Asylum stage right. What Rocksteady Games has done with this game is nothing short of miraculous.  Not only have they managed to make the best licensed game I’ve ever had the pleasure to play, but they’ve also done justice to one of the most complex and interesting superheroes out there.

Red Dead Redemption gameplay trailer

I’ve always been a fan of Westerns and Rockstar’s games in general so when I saw the video for Red Dead Redemption I was over the moon. April 2010 can’t come soon enough!

Review spectacular

I haven’t had too much free time of late to blog as I’ve been a bit busy with an influx of games for review. Luckily it seems as though the flood of gaming goodness has died down for now so here’s some linkage to my reviews:

Next up is Left 4 Dead 2 and conveniently enough I should be catching Zombieland shortly. how’s that for a coincidence? :)

FIFA 10 review

FIFA 10Being a huge footy fan it was with a huge smile on my face that I got to review FIFA 10 this year.  I wasn’t able to attend the launch event for it this year but from what I hear it was quite the happening place to be.  If you want to see what I thought of the game then you should make it your goal (lol) for the day to head over here and read it for yourself.
