I Am (STILL) Alive ???

Morning All,

Some slightly sad news coming in this morning.

Rumor has it that the once highly anticipated game I AM ALIVE from Ubisoft, has been relegated form a full retail release to an digital download release via Xbox live arcade and PSN.



Just in case you don't know. The story is based around a massive earthquake which kills millions and renders all foods and water supplies lost. As a result, the remaining survivors have only 1 option left to them, stay alive at any cost.
Not a lot more is known about the adventure but I've got to say that it does look great and the idea has me spellbound.

Being an Download release isn't a bad thing, just look at Shadow Complex. But it will lose a bit of it's appeal I think. I hope it turns out well.

Peace

MMO CRAZY

Whats up humans,

Zo here with yet another classic blog post.

Now if theirs one area of gaming I refuse to touch it's the MMO side of things. There are couple of reasons for this 1, monthly subscriptions are not a laughing matter, 2, My Laptop barely runs solitaire, and 3, Ollie plays them.

If there was one MMO that would even tempt me it would be Star Wars the Old Republic. I'm a massive Star Wars fan and the thought of being a Jedi warrior and questing all day long brings a smile to my face.
It's being made by Bioware, the people who have given us the Mass Effect series, which are great games in themselves, and Dann's favorite Dragon-age. So it's in very capable hands.

Check out the 2 videos below. One is of the opening cinematic and the other is some game play.......WOW !!!!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Hi again people,

I've not played a full Final Fantasy game since 9 as I was just getting a bit crazy with all the RPG's I was playing at the time and after awhile I just forgot about them and basically lost interest in them.

That may be about to change after seeing the below trailer for Final Fantasy XIII Versus on the PS3. From what I've been about to decode, It's a party based combat system similar to that of Kingdom Hearts. You'll be able to switch between 3 characters within your party but there will be more to choose from. Being a Final Fantasy game it will of course have each character use an ability that is uniqe to them, like one guy will be a master gunfighter, another will be a great swordsman. and so on.

It all looks stunning and very fast paced but unfortunately it won't be out in 2011. Squre Enix love to wet our appites and then snatch the prize away from our hands.

Anyway here's the trailer which shows a load of in game battles and some of the story. It's in Japanese but you'll still be able to fall in love with the beautiful effects we have grown up with when playing any Final Fantasy game.

Offical PSP2 first look

Hi Internet,

Well after all the hype, we finally have our first look at the PSP2.

So yeah we were right, it is touch screen and it does have dual analog sticks, and yes it has a 5" screen, BUT we now know that Sony have gone the route of memory cards as there format of choice, an SD type of card. 3G is a in and with this you can stay connected to you online games without any hassle.

Games wise, Sony brought out the big guns. Metal Gear Solid 4 (the PS3 version) was shown running with no problems. New Call of Duty advantages are also planned, plus most of the first party games will be an appearance. Look out for new Kill Zone, Little big planet, and Wipeout.

So It's coming and it looks like a contender for the DS crown, but will it have the staying power or will it go the way of the PSP GO ?

Check out the video of photos for the Sony presentation.

Dukes back !!

Hi Internet,

Now some of you may not be old enough to remember this one but back in the day there was a game so crud, so naughty that it laughed in the face of the FPS genera. Now 12 years have past and finally we are also in touching dissents of a new DUKE NUKEM game,
Duke Nukem Forever.

As I said, 12 years have passed and a lot of stuff has happened in that time such as all of the Lord of the Ring films, The Matrix Trilogy, Jason Bourne, 9/11, The next gen consoles, and much much more. Still better late then never right ??

Anyway the game is on the way now thanks to the development teams at 2K who brought the rights after 3D Realms had to let go of the Duke nukem franchise.

Heres the new trailer for you. It's real tongue un cheek so don't get to offended.
