GamesCom: F1 2010 crash damage

Much has been made of GT5′s crash physics, or lack thereof in the past. Forza used it as a huge selling point, but in fact the crash damage seen there is so unrealistic it detracts from the rest of the games polish. Codemasters are taking up the mantle from Sony’s F1 title, and next month we’ll have an F1 game!… Continue »

F1 2010 game preview

Codemasters have uploaded a new video demonstrating their multi-platform title heralding a new era in Formula One racing titles. The game isn’t due for release until September, yet somehow the developers comment on their system changing as the season progresses. Interesting, as by September there’ll only be a few races left in the calendar, which traditionally ends in October. This… Continue »

Ireland set to win World Cup

In an incredible move that no one expected, EA have decided to release another full-priced remake of their hit classic, FIFA 1998. Except this time using the tweaked engine from the 2010 iteration and with HD graphics (though FIFA 2010 is hardly proper HD looking at the state of the renders). This time, instead of a full roster and actual… Continue »

MGS: Peace Walker new details

As much as I dislike posting things from companies, this press release actually explains everything needed about the new features in MGS: Peace Walker. Of course, I have conveniently edited out the “PR speak” so you don’t get sick on your keyboard with all the self-loving linguistic gymnastics they tend to pull in these things. The next chapter in the… Continue »

FIFA 2010 broken

Anyone who’s my friend on PSN will be aware that, of late, I’ve been playing a fair amount of FIFA 2010. I spend a lot of time in Manager Mode, managing Bayern Munich to various league glories. 5 seasons in and I’m a 5-star rated manager with an unstoppable team, only losing two games last season, where for the second… Continue »

GT5 dated for “the West”

GT5 academy’s demo hits PSN this week, but the game itself has been dated for next March. However, Sony have revised that date saying that the March deadline stands only for Japan. They went on to state that the West should expect the game to race onto shelves no sooner then “summer 2010″. No word on whether or not this… Continue »

Modern Medal of Honour Warfare

Confirming recent rumours and online smatterings on forums, EA have confirmed that yes indeed, they are following Activision into sales haven and controversy. EA’s world war II shooter Medal of Honour has been a staple for years, a shite one, but a staple none the less. Never as good as Call of Duty, it did try it’s best but the… Continue »

FIFA 10 is popular

FIFA 2010 is the fastest selling game ever. Bar none. That is an impressive stat, but last night while bringing Bayern Munich to domestic glory, I noted the ticker across the bottom of the menu displaying rather brash stats about how great they are. Yes, the game was bragging to its players. Probably just in case a stray Pro Evo… Continue »

MAG preview

This one’s a little late coming, but better late then never, eh? Recently the boys of Shoryuken took to the road and got to check out Sony’s new online MMO-style shooter, MAG. MAG stands for “Massive Action Game”, and it’s not kidding when they talk about massive. 256 online players in the same map environment shooting each other via three… Continue »

World of Warcraft Cataclysm

I know what you all are thinking, and yes I am a gigantic nerd. I, and the many millions of WoW players in the world, are now looking forward to the next expansion of the world famous Blizzard franchise, Cataclysm. The biggest feature of this release for me is the addition of two new races, Goblins and Worgen. Now the… Continue »
