Modern Warfare 3 launch date event

It seems like Activision are celebrating the release of Modern Warfare 3 in style once again by throwing a big bash on the evening of November 7th in time for the midnight launch on Tuesday November 8th. Coming to retail a full 3 days sooner than usual to hit the worldwide release, they’ve enlisted the help of UK music sensation Example and dance duo Chase & Status to play exclusive DJ sets at the official event. Example is quoted as saying “I’ve always been a massive fan of the Call of Duty franchise, ex-girlfriends have always been jealous of the...

Batman Arkham City review

I cannot tell you how excited I’ve been about Batman: Arkham City ever since I played Arkham Asylum three times to complete it 100% and get all but three of the achievements. Now it’s here but can it live up to the hype or like in music, will Bruce Wayne be struggling with his difficult 2nd album? I don’t want to give away spoilers so let me just say that for one reason or another, Bruce Wayne finds himself inside Arkham City – a sort of open prison inside Gotham City where prisoners are left to run amok and take...

Forza Motorsport 4 review

Forza Motorsport 4 is the latest realistic driving game developed by Turn 10 and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox 360. If you’re familiar with the series you’ll know this one’s all about realism and less about the thrill of police chases or throwing red shells at your opponents. Not a bad thing but definitely a game for car enthusiasts who want to get their hands on cars they could only dream of or watch Jeremy Clarkson driving about on Top Gear. Speaking of which they’ve injected a bit of personality into the game with the addition of challenges...

Rayman Origins release date

I’ve never really been into Rayman, especially since playing the 3D games and getting very frustrated by the usual inherent 3D platforming problems we all know and expect. Recently it also seems he’s been usurped by those pesky Rabbids but after playing the game at a ‘90s nostalgia’ event I have to say this is really a return to form. It was hard to get a proper gist of what was going on because as I was playing I was having my ear chewed off (not literally) by Jet from Gladiators but more on that later. From what I could...

Just Dance 3

Last night saw the celeb-studded launch party for Just Dance 3 which took the form of a house party in a large town house in Grosvenor Place. We left the taxi to a blinding flash of photographers who soon stopped taking photos when they didn’t know who we were (teach me to pull up in a cab right outside) and then made our way up the steps into the party. As you’d expect for a dancing game party there was a dance floor and a DJ playing good but deafening tunes and of course consoles set up around the house...

Dead Island review

Last year there was an interesting trailer for Dead Island that caught the attention of gamers worldwide. It showed us a short yet horrifying tale of a family desperately running away from a horde of blood-thirsty zombies. It was a brief, gory and best of all – played backwards. Now after having finished the game I can safely say that the trailer may have been great marketing, but it sure didn’t give us a real idea of what the game really was. I don’t know about you but I wasn’t expecting a cross between Borderlands and Left 4 Dead. Whilst...
