So we all know that 2010 is going to be a big year for gaming, if not the biggest. We have Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell, Bayoneta, Battlefield and Final Fantasy 13 and this is all before the summer. But what about the games we haven’t heard much of? In this series of articles I will be looking a few games that in my opinion have a chance of coming from nowhere to grab that converted title of game of the year.
 
The first game of the series is …

                     
This coming Thursday (4th March) we’ll be able to get our grubby mitts on a rather tasty looking demo for Eidos’ upcoming Just Cause 2. The demo alone will feature 35 square miles of island to explore.

Hunt down and assassinate one of the game’s 50 military colonels; devastate military bases, bio fuel chambers, government infrastructure and more; hijack tuk tuks, military 4x4s, armoured vehicles, mopeds, helicopter gunships, light aircraft, mini vans and numerous other military and civilian vehicles; …

Good news for anyone who’s been following the progress of this interesting looking spy based RPG: the European release date has been announced as May 28th.

The premise sounds excellent to me, as I’ve always enjoyed the Bond and Bourne films. Getting a chance to take a few steps in their shoes should make for an interesting experience.

The much loved Gadget Show (as shown on Five TV) have recently reviewed the Natal, and I must say, this short review is probably one of the better, unbias pieces I’ve heard. If you’re interested in the Natal at all, I suggest viewing the link below.

Good times.

 
After listening to podcast episode #106, the 2 year special, I thought I’d post a little bit of info concerning Final Fantasy XIII.
 
In the heated debate about blue-rays vs. dvd, the amount of space taken up by games on our hard drives was brought to attention. With FF XIII being the current centre of attention, why not take a glance upon the figures?
 
“Are you ready for Final Fantasy 13? Well if you are and picking up the title on Xbox 360 with the option of installing to your hard drive …

When you’re as famous as Peter Molyneux *cough*, you demand a certain amount of attention. And what better way to get that kind of attention than over the world wide web?
 
Lionhead have asked the gaming community to log into their facebook accounts and take a look at their Fable III fanpage. Lionhead want fans to comment about their opinions on what they’ve heard of Fable III so far. More importantly they are also releasing screenshots one week at a time asking for comments.

They’re only up to two so far so …

Yup you read it correctly, and nope I didn’t get the symbol the wrong way around. I’ve been coming to this conclusion gradually over the last couple of weeks and months: Treyarch’s World at War is the far superior game to Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2, and I’m here to tell you why.

Single Player Experience

Both games feature compelling and absolutely enjoyable single player games that are capable of testing the mettle (and patience) of even the most skilled FPS player.  From storming beaches in World at War to blasting through …

The first two words of Alan Wake are “Stephen King.” The next big Xbox 360 exclusive game is an interactive thriller played in the shadows of America’s Pacific Northwest. I recently played the game’s impressive first full “episode.”
Remedy Entertainment’s May-dated game comes on a disc but is divided into episodes. These chapters are sometimes narrated in the past tense and they are designed to end in cliffhangers. To describe the first one, as I’m about to, involves spoilers, though we’re talking spoilers of a pilot episode designed to set up …
