Rainbow6: So That’s…Six Pots of Gold Then? Where’s Dorothy in all This?

No game has me more excited or burdened by anticipation than ‘Rainbow6:Patriots.’ Still clinging to its 2013 release date, details on this installment are slowly but surely beginning to emerge from Ubisoft. As part of the Tom Clancy universe, RB6 maintains its place in history as the quintessential squad-based tactical shooter focusing on close-quarter engagements, nail-biting tension, & the perfect amount of “realism.” But it’s been several years now since the last installment and the “battlefield” has quite literally changed.
Disclaimer: The ‘RB6:Patriots’ information referenced within was compiled from several media …

Assassins Creed Revelations

Assassins Creed Revelations is the fourth installment in Ubisoft’s altered reality crusade saga. Revelations is solid when compared to previous installments from the series; however Ezio is a much older man. Age has only made Ezio a more dangerous adversary for the Templar knights with his skills, and arsenal being more lethal than ever before. Set in Constantinople during the rise of the Ottoman Empire Ezio must collect keys left behind by the heroine of the original Assassins Creed “Altiar” whose roll in this installment is minimal only appearing during …

Community Xbox Live Account’s Hacked

It’s the start of the new year and it looks like the hacking of accounts is still an all too common problem. With PSN, Square-Enix and rumours of Xbox Live accounts getting hacked it looks like the trend is continuing.
Personally I thought the rumours of Xbox Live accounts being hacked was just that a rumour but in the last few months four members of the 360GamerCast community have had their accounts hacked and all their Microsoft points spent on fifa pro clubs stuff.
Microsoft have said in the UK Newspapers that …

So thats now 2011 behind us. And what a year it was. Whether you’re a fan of RPG’s, Shooters, Platformers or Racers, 2011 had it all.

Going Solo: Is Single Player Gaming Making a Comeback?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month or so, you can’t have missed out on how popular The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has become. Developed by Bethesda, well known for their modern renditions of the Fallout franchise, Skyrim has taken the world of gaming by storm – selling more than 3.4 million copies in just the first two days, and gluing gamers all over the world to their lounge seats for days (or weeks) at a time. And the best thing about this runaway success is …

20 years of gaming – Table Top to Consoles

As a professional writer of tabletop role-playing games (the ‘pencil and paper’ kind), I’m well versed in selling to niche markets. Long have I wished that the love for tabletop RPGs (other than fantasy football…) would spread out into the general public. Instead, I’ve watched the market grow, then shrink, then grow, then shrink again, never really gaining any ground.

Of course, tabletop RPGs (TRPGs) really haven’t evolved in the last four decades. Sure, the genres have gone beyond simple fantasy war games, and new designers are always innovating rules, but …

The Roxio Game Capture makes it very possible and simple to record your console gameplay on either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. It’s editing software is very simple to use and lets you add voice, text and other simple visual effects on your pc.

Skyrim – Review

Remember when you were younger and the adventures you went on? The amazing lands you traveled, monsters you slayed and priceless treasure chests looted – all in the space of a Sunday afternoon in the back yard.
Over the years wether it’s growing up, or games that tells you what to imagine and which path to follow, it takes a special something for a developer to say “Not all games have to be like this”.
At its inception gaming was all about that feeling of escapism and the chance to participate within …

Get Excited For: Rayman Origins

With the silly season for game releases being in full flow at the moment we find ourselves with a plethora of exciting new titles to choose from and a bombardment of advertising telling us which ones we should be picking. As a result it’s been far too easy to overlook the quirky new Rayman game scheduled for release on November 25th. That’s something we should all try to remedy as Ubisoft’s upcoming platformer is shaping up to be rather special indeed.
