If the insane numbers of hours gamers collectively sunk into the original Black Ops are an indication of anything it’s that the game series is a strong force to be reckoned with. When the original Black Ops was released it almost immediately became the multiplayer title that both PS3 and 360 owners were drawn to. Perhaps this is due to its excellent graphics, stunning gameplay, monumental multiplayer or the inclusion of the somewhat unexpected “zombies” mode; whatever the reason, the Black Ops franchise is now synonymous with quality gaming and good times. Naturally, this makes the prospect of another Black…

At E3 you introduced to the world Aveline. Yet we don’t know much about her, could you please provide more background information on Liberations’ protagonist? The story of Aveline is the story of Liberation, so we can’t reveal everything just yet as I don’t want to give away too many spoilers! What I can tell you about Aveline is that she is of mixed heritage – her father is French and her mother African. She is born of a form of temporary marriage called plaçage, where wealthy young men would typically take an African, Chinese or Native American women…

What do you get when you combine survival horror with stealth / action and light RPG elements? Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” is shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind tension-filled experience that gamers will undoubtedly find to be wholly unique and very evocative. The story / background for “The Last of Us” is as follows: It is around 20 years after the initial apocalypse pandemic destroyed the world, and our two characters (Joel and Ellie) happen upon a city which they must explore. Naturally, the city itself is not only rundown and decrepit; it is also infested with all…
Since it’s undoubtedly going to be an issue anyway, I’ll just start off by saying that yes, PES 13 is comparable to the upcoming FIFA 13 offering. However, it would be in incredibly poor taste to spend an entire column discussing how it stacks up to its competition, so instead, we’ll focus on what makes this game worthwhile on its own. In the past, a great deal of focus was placed on the PES franchises approach to character models as well as sound design. While they have taken steps to remedy the perceived problems in terms of visuals, sadly, it…
While some devout gamers are perturbed by the upcoming addition to the Devil May Cry series, others are absolutely ecstatic. DmC isn’t necessarily a reboot, although you could say that it closely resembles one, of sorts. In order to avoid resorting to a generic reboot, Capcom has elected to present us with an alternate reality of the Devil May Cry universe. A new development team has taken the reigns on this one (Ninja Theory) and everything is being updated in various ways. The game is still following the “hack and slash” formula that brought it success and we still have…
VidZone™ – the free online music video streaming service for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) has partnered with legendary dance music brand Pacha®, the world’s ultimate nightclub franchise, to transform PlayStation Home into a virtual Pacha nightclub. Users will be given free & unlimited access to a virtual Pacha club from the comfort of their own living room for 4 weeks from Wednesday 8th August 2012. Once inside the club they will be able to check out the brand new Pacha documentary “7 Days 7 Nights” on the giant video screen. This film documents the different nights at the Ibiza club and includes…
The PSN came online in tandem with the release of the Playstation 3, for which it was designed to provide free, unlimited multiplayer support (take that, XBL!) However, it has since grown into an entirely different beast altogether. For example, now access to and use of the PSN has since been extended to include the PSP and Vita. Perhaps the greatest aspect of the PSN however, is that it was able to bring back a large assortment of classic titles which are universally loved by gamers and heralded as some of the greatest games ever conceived. New titles that don’t…
What is Ben 10 and why Ben 10 games? Ben 10 is just your average little boy; or at least he started out that way. He now leads a pretty exciting life to say the least and for this reason, his TV show, produced by Cartoon Network, is ever popular amongst kids. Ben 10 fights the evils that come with any walk of live but with a little bit of a twist. Ben and his friends battle against evil aliens and the extra-terrestrials out there. Ben’s journey began when he found a ‘watch’ whilst camping with his grandfather and cousin,…
Seriously, who doesn’t think the Ice Age movies (and games) are entertaining and fun? In keeping in line with a number of other franchises who are intent to pelt us with video game movie tie-ins, we have Arctic Games; which of course is a direct spin-off of the film, Ice Age 4. The question is, is this game worth playing in-and-of itself? Luckily, the answer is yes! Arctic Games is a very engaging and colorful “party-style” title that’s perfect for people of all ages. You assume control of a character and participate in a number of events as part of…
First off, this is not a cheap, one-off title with loose associations to the official games; London 2012 for the PS3 is the officially licensed video game of the Olympic Games. With that being said, you might be wondering if it’s worth the price of admission? Luckily, this is a game worth playing, especially if you are the type of gamer with a love for track and field or the Olympics themselves. There is a surprising level of depth to this game which is a bit deceiving at first, because of the simple design it features. However, there are tons…
We’re just about due for another Tomb Raider game aren’t we? The upcoming Tomb Raider title (currently slated for a 2013 release) is actually a full-on gritty reboot. That’s right, the Lara Croft we once new is being replaced with a harder-edged version…much harder. Simply saying that this game is going to be a lot more violent doesn’t really accurately explain just how intense the action is likely to be. We’re talking about all-out gore and disturbing imager here, a complete deviation from the campy Indiana Jones-ish style of the previous games. Most noticeably, this title will feature some serious…
In Western culture it has been said that 13 is an unlucky number; luckily, FIFA 13 doesn’t suffer at the hands of this superstition. Simply put, EA has really outdone themselves with this latest entry in the renowned FIFA series. Aside from the many continuous and notable improvements accompanying each (annual) addition to the franchise, the FIFA juggernaut has always been known for focus on graphics and visuals. The fact of the matter is that the FIFA 13 graphics are beyond spectacular, as are many other elements of the game and its presentation. Rather than starting from scratch with each…
Whether you’re a fan of the Spider-man movie series or the numerous games which have been released over the years, this game will get your spider senses tingling. The Amazing Spider-man (PS3) is an incredibly fun, visually appealing and highly engaging 3rd person open-world game. Interestingly enough, this game is actually a sequel to the soon-to-be-released film bearing the same name. I know, I know…movie – video game tie-ins are usually something to avoid, but Activision and Beenox Studios have really done a great job with this title. The fact we are presented with an entirely new story in this…
