Gaming Video Wednesday: 12th October 2011

Another week and another set of game trailers for your viewing.  First up, a new one from Dead Rising 2: Off Record, love the music towards the end of this trailer (I think it’s Lifeseeker, not sure of the name):   A new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer was released over the weekend. [...]

Gaming Video Wednesday: 5th Octover 2011 – Part 2

And here’s part 2 of the gaming trailers for this week. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD I think Oddworld was the game I worked on the longest (as a senior and lead tester).  I think I was one of only 2-3 people who could complete the full 100% and I loved it.  The 2D platform was [...]

This is a new regular feature where I share the best videogame videos of the week and there have been loads thanks to Gamescon.  First up is Borderlands 2 teaser.  I absolutely loved the first game and played it from start to finish on the PC.   I’ve since given up on PC gaming so [...]

My ponderings on E3 2011

Prey 2 looks amazing and I cannot wait to roam around the Blade Runner-esque environment. This was arguable the most impressive game from E3 for me. Mass Effect 3‘s characters don’t look quite so Poser-like this time round and I’m actually quite excited about a Mass Effect game for the first time – though I’ll give the [...]
