In anticipation for release they have just released the launch trailer, which is very story centric.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is a spectacularly remastered version of the original Halo campaign. Bundled with seven of the most popular multiplayer maps in Halo history ready for Xbox LIVE, Halo: Anniversary will include a bounty of new features including cooperative play over Xbox LIVE, Achievements, new challenges, …

How do you make the sequel to the greatest super-hero video game of all time? Well that’s was the question on the mind of many when UK developer Rocksteady scored big with the 2009 smash Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Where Rocksteady succeeded with Arkham Asylum was to make you actually feel like Batman – The World’s Greatest Detective (TM). My Game Of The Year for 2009, mixed stealth, puzzles, exploration, gadgetry and being a badass together superbly.
I therefore had massive hopes for the sequel, Arkham City when it was announced as surely …

Rage is a visual masterpiece never before seen on current console technology. From beginning to end the high resolution and ultra detailed world sparkles with “mega” textures.

Am I clearly insane?
Having heard about the phenomenon Demon Souls on the PS3 and its mix of hardcore hack ‘n slash, exploration and reward, I was interested when From Software announced that the spiritual successor, Dark Souls, was coming to the 360.
To say that Dark Souls hasn’t been hyped by the gaming press is somewhat of an understatement. Indeed, for the past couple of weeks my twitter feed has been buzzing about the game with gushing games journalists it being described as unforgiving and rewarding in equal measure. A bit …

Rage was sold as an RPG with first shooter mechanics this for me could not be further from reality. You are in store for a shooter with solid mechanics, and beautiful environments. The graphics are by far the best of this generation, and the AI has more variety than most titles. Enemy combatants are varied, and seek cover when under fire. They will not present themselves to the carnage that you release instead seeking cover, and avoiding your fury. Character leveling and customization is a no show in Rage leaning …

I must admit that I am guilty of being a gaming snob.

You are lacking the spectacular car models we love, high speed chases, and free roam ability. What are we going to get from this title? Well Criterion Games has …
