Tesco, GAME And The 3DS Debacle Part 2, Tesco strikes back

Yesterday I Mentioned about GAME sending their employees out to Tesco's to stock up on 3DS's due to Tesco's launch prices being considerably cheaper than their own.

Today EuroGamer has had a response from Tesco's,

"We always provide Tesco customers with the best value," a Tesco spokesperson told Eurogamer. 
"We think you could say this is game, set and match."


Horrible pun aside, some of the comments to this have had better suggestions, Tesco seem to be pretty non-plussed about the entire episode.

Hawken, Big Mech's Bringing Indie Chaos

I constantly amazed at the work of the Indie developer community, this work in progress video from Adhesive Games shows that its not just the big game companies that can make stunning games:

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Teaser

Ooo, a teaser trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City has surfaced on you tube.
I'll admit I wasn’t a great fan of the first 3 games, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Nemesis, Code Veronica didn’t do anything for me, and I missed out on the Gamecube's remakes and Resident Evil 4.

But Resident Evil 5.. I freaking loved that game, I'm pretty sure I was only 2 or 3 achievements from 1000 points.

Tesco, Game And The 3DS Debacle

Eurogamer is running a story on a memo sent to GAME stores regarding the 3DS launch.

Story Here

Knowing that GAME could not match Tesco's price for the 3DS, £209 for the 3DS and a game, GAME hq authorised the staff to take money from the tills, head up to Tesco and buy their stock, which in turn would then be traded back in at GAME for the same price.

After The Dark Knight Rises... He Will Rise Again?

Xbox Avatar On Your Bookshelf

Xbox Avatars... personally I love mine, stood on my screen wearing his Black Ops outfit, playing with a Banshee from Halo. Many times I've wished that I could get a little statue of him to put on my bookshelf, for no other reason than being able to go “that’s me that is”...
Well, now I can

Enslaved (360) Retro Review

I've spent a good chunk of today playing “Enslaved: Odyssey to the West” on the 360, I missed this when it was first released but remembered it a couple of weeks ago. Well thanks to my LoveFilm account I can finally see what all the fuss was about.

When Enslaved was released it had pretty much universal acclaim, with a story co-written by Alex Garland, the same man who wrote the screenplays for 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go and the upcoming Judge Dredd movie “Dredd”. The Story itself is an adaptation of a 16th century Chinese story, which has been adapted into the movie “The Forbidden Kingdom” and the manga/animé series “Dragonball”

Kinect, Still Waiting..

There are times I feel like kicking myself, the majority of these is mainly after I've been cooking with chilli peppers, and get the overwhelming urge to scratch my eyes.. I've temporarily blinded myself several times due to this.

The lesser times are usually aimed at my own inability to control my spending on new gadgets.

Microsofts Kinect is a good example of this, I fell for the hype, the advertising promising so much, in my head my fantasies of The Matrix, Minority Report and to a lesser extent Gamer were about to come true.

I preordered.

Crysis 2 Multiplayer

I did get Crysis 2 this week, but i don't want to write about it until I have actually finished playing the singleplayer.

Multiplayer though, I love it. Not only is this the best looking console shooter out, actual quote on the box there, but it is also a lot of fun.

As I bought the "limited edition" I started my multiplayer career off at level 5, and the ability to make custom classes. As a personal choice I always make my class's have light machine guns, bigger clips, usually more damage.. And quite frankly I want to imagine I'm Rambo striding across the playing field.

The multiplayer will draw comparisons to Call of Duty, because quite frankly like it or not it is the most popular online shooter series out.

You can customise your armour abilities, make your cloak last longer, use less power in armour mode, even have bullet trails fired at you highlighted so you can see where your attackers are. And select weapon attachments.

There are also killstreaks, like Call of Duty, however unlike the Call of Duty series you need to collect the dogface from your victims, it's a nice attempt at reducing campers but one of the armour abilities at the higher levels is one that automatically retrieves dog tags, so not sure how that will work out.

The maps are compact, but flow well with combat, I haven't came across a map where everybody sticks to one area so far.

I'll give some the single player more of a playthrough before I comment on that, though from what I have played so far, I'm impressed.

Ipad 2, 3DS, Queues... Wow

Today marked the release of two big electronic devices, Nintendo 3DS and the Ipad 2.

While I did not go to the GAME midnight opening for the 3DS launch, I did stop by on my way to Exeter for the day though, a fair few had been sold.

I did get my hands on the 3DS again and tried out the racing game Asphalt 3D, I'll admit I’m not the greatest racing fan but this was a lot of fun. It felt like a burnout clone, you were rewarded points for knocking out other racers and taking short cuts, one of which saw my car flying over roof tops like a demented vehicular version of superman.

Captain America New Official Trailer!!

This is the new trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger, I am so excited for this film.. I got goosebumps watching this.

The story is about Steve Rogers, Scrawny american teenager who wants to join the fight against the nazi's in world war 2, after numerous rejections he is given the chance to become the worlds first super soldier.
Captain America is born, and fights against the Red Skull, a former SS nazi scientist who commands his own army "HYDRA".

I wasnt sure about Chris Evans being cast as Steve Rogers, Captain America, no matter how hard i tried i just could not get the image of him as Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four movies, there is a rumour going about that there will be a reboot attempted with the Fantastic Four series, out of my head. But after watching this.. i can now accept him, although scrawny CGI Steve Rogers looks a little un-nerving to me

The cast looks great so far, Hugo Weaving, Stanley Tucci, Tommy Lee Jones, and Dominic Cooper (cameoing Howard Stark, Tony "Iron Man" Starks father).

Released in the UK 29th July, in 3D.

2011, the year of the superhero

Top Spin 4 Trailer

I've just seen a trailer for Top Spin 4 for the PS3

*edit video removed by YouTube*
What the hell..

Is that implying if you play this with Move, you will look like Serena Williams? or that you need to dress like that to play a tennis game??

I'm not taking a shot at the PS3 and its motion control system I am quite intrigued about Move, there genuinely seems to be more games out that use it compared to Microsoft's Kinect system (yes i own one, and so far i feel pretty underwhelmed about the games... there is only Dance Central and Kinect Adventures in my  collection)

Its the advert itself I'm not happy with, you can see "the worlds sexiest tennis player" and "the worlds sexiest tennis gamer" stood in front of the TV swinging their arms, but at no point do you see them dashing about the place to get into position..

if i watch a trailer for a game i want to know a little about how the game plays, i couldnt care less if "the worlds sexiest traffic light maintenance crew" featured, if it features motion control i want to know how much of a prat I will look playing it

My Own Personal Challenge

I've been looking at my Xbox Gamertag recently and I began to think.

I have been on Xbox live for just over 5 years, science bit coming up..

In that time I've played nearly 200 games, and earned a gamerscore of 50,907, fully completing 3 games to 1000/1000:
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis
Fight Night: Round 3
Fallout 3 (1500/1500)

Mass Effect 2 and Borderlands were on that list, but I didn't buy the add-ons for them..

Chalet Girl.. Oh God Why

Working in a cinema is both a blessing and a curse, I get the chance to show potential blockbuster movies to the public, and hear of films that I wouldn't normally see or be interested in.

The curse is, I will get films that I really want to watch ruined for me. As a projectionist I need to check on focus and get the auditorium lights up at the end of the films, so I will see the final scenes, and always see the hero triumph or the shocking twist of a horror film.

Another part of the curse.. I get to see films that are truly... Truly awful.

Homefront Multiplayer in action

Just a short one today, I figured with all the doom and gloom going on regarding Homefront's multiplayer problems, too much demand not enough servers, I would film a game of ground control to show how it actually plays.


Obviously today being the UK/European release date, the Euro servers are up. And the game is running smoothly.

I truly am loving this online, the only faults I can find with it are with other players, playing on US servers it felt like for every 1 person on our team, there were at least 3 snipers. This match felt more balanced, and I finally got around to using the Parrot Drone.

I will admit I'm not the best player in the world, the higher killstreak's in Call of Duty: Black Ops were always out of my reach... I did become a master of calling in the UAV recon plane, but never anything that needed more than 5 kills.. (4 with the hardline perk). But playing Homefront I don’t have to worry about killing as many players as possible without dying, the battle points build up with each kill, assist, capture and defend, and don’t disappear if you die. These in turn are spent on special weapons, the Parrot Drone and RPG in this match but you can customise them in the armoury, or vehicles like the Humvee or the small tank I disastrously piloted into a head on collision with the other tank.

If you like what you see, get it. you wont be dissapointed

Homefront, Invasion in Progress

I managed to get a few hours on Homefront last night, you know what?... it is actually pretty good. While not doing well in reviews with critics pointing out the relatively short single player and ok graphics but praising the multiplayer, I was a little apprehensive.

I have played up until chapter 2 in the campaign and so far really enjoyed what has played out, torn from your home with no more reason than “your a pilot, come with us” shoved onto a bus and driven past the occupiers cruelty, civilians beaten, parents shot in front of there own kids, people herded into fenced areas. Until your rescue by freedom fighters it looked pretty bleak.

But in all honesty who buys shooter games nowadays for the single player alone? Multiplayer, when the server stays running and doesn’t kick you to the lobby without saving any of your kills to that point, actually plays fantastically.

The only downside are the server problems.

As I mentioned the critics gave this a bit of a mauling, but that hasn’t stopped North American day 1 sales of 375,000 copies. Enough to underestimate THQ's projected demand for the dedicated servers, quite simply more copies were sold than they thought would do, and as a result the servers are overloaded.

I managed to play 2 matches from start to finish, 1 of those had so much lag I started to think I was watching a slide show. But I didn’t care. I was having a fun.

Hopefully by tomorrow, the official shop release date, THQ will have enough servers up to cope with Europe jumping online.

This has the potential to be legendary online. People need to give it a chance to find its feet and iron out these small problems. Hell people give the same chances to the Call of Duty games, every single time one is released, and that is one of the most popular online Multiplayer series ever.

Online Pre-Orders

I don't usually buy my games or films online, but I was moved enough by www.bee.com's pricing of Homefront to break my personal rule, £29.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3 in case you were wondering

Yes you can buy pretty much anything online cheaper than what you can find in the shops, but I've said it many times.. I'm impatient.

But I'm also always looking for ways to save money, eBay online and the local CEX can be fantastic places to find bargains, CEX is always on my must visit list when I head to exeter.

So it was a very nice surprise to find a package when I got into work this morning.




The only thing that sucks right now.. I do not finish work til 11.

Until then I have this to stare at




Granted the reviews coming out right now aren't good, short single player, graphics not fantastic, but the multiplayer is getting alot of praise.

I'll find that out later for myself though.

Downloadable Content, Yay or Nay

DLC, or Downloadable Content for games is something I look at every now and then, occasionally I will buy some, but only if it adds new life to games, new maps or missions yes, I did say new maps.. looking at you Modern Warfare.. not reskinned maps that were in the previous game.

Extra costumes or weapons. No if I can finish the game without a particular weapon then I didn’t need it in the first place and wont be paying for it.

Launch day DLC is the only DLC I totally disagree with. If you have extra items/missions/characters that are available the moment the game is in the shops, those could have been thrown into the retail disc when it went the game went gold, maybe with a note saying "look we made these after the game development finished, stay with us and just imagine how much we can achieve"

Battle L.A.

We've had Battle L.A. Playing at work since Friday, this is a film I have an interest in so trying not to watch too much, so I don't ruin anything.

Basic story, aliens invade earth, Los Angeles is the last major city that hasn't fallen, US troops wage a valiant last stand to keep it free of alien tyranny.. Lead by Harvey "Two Face" Dent from The Dark Knight, and Ne-Yo who apparently is a singer.

If anybody asks my opinion, it's like Independence Day, without Will Smiths over the topness or Jeff Goldblums geekyness, so much more gritty and realistic. (don't mention Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds, because that was truly awful)


It's the first big special effects film of the year, and nobody that has been in to watch it has said a bad word against it, but I don't believe it's going to do well.

Which is a shame, there used to be a time when you could tell if a film was going to be a blockbuster, back before super special effects were the norm for most films. Nowadays films have to be pretty special to be popular, or have the backing of a hugely successful book series, looking at you Potter.

Bigger Things than Games on my Mind atm..

I have spent a lot of time watching all the videos and images coming out of Japan at the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, it is truly terrifying, the height of the waves reached over 7 meters in some places. Entire buildings washed down the streets as if they were made of paper.

If something like this happened here, I know for a fact that realistically me and my home would not survive, my flat is located less than 200ft from the seafront and is ground floor.
Japan is one of the few places on earth I would actually love to visit, and it was truly saddening to hear and then see the damage done.

My thoughts are with the people of Japan right now.

Too Good To Be True

When I said Earlier it was a nice change to see something other that FPS games being attacked in the news, I didn't think I'd find an article attacking games and gamers quite so soon.


MVC posted an article reporting on a statement from therapist Steve Pope, who in an interview with BBC 5live says:

"2 hours of gaming is equal to a line of cocaine"

Aswell as:

"It is the fastest growing addiction in the country and this is affecting young people mentally and physically."

Pulled from the UK...

It makes a nice change that for once the newspapers, politicians and your granny aren’t screaming blue murder about GTA, Modern Warfare 2 or any of the other “murder simulators”.. nope this time everybody is in an uproar over... “We Dare” on the Wii, you know the family friendly console most of us know and love.. well except for me, I bought one and sold it 3 months later..

Going by the “We Dare” trailer, players will be tasked with eating wiimotes, spanking... and sexy dances..



Thankfully, or maybe not if you were going to try and convince your girlfriend to play this with you, the publisher Ubisoft has pulled its release in the UK after it was rated suitable for 12+.

I’m not sure in what universe its acceptable for a group of 12 year old's to do anything shown in that trailer, but I think Ubisoft is actually doing the right thing here. I'm pretty sure they don’t want to be known as the publisher who sold sex games to kids

Fight Night Champion, Champion mode finished..

I finally got around to finishing Fight Night Champion's story mode last night.

The story charting middleweight boxer Andre Bishop's rise, fall, and rise to heavyweight champion is definitely the weakest part of the game.

Not wanting to give too much away about the story, but you can guess straight away that you will be champion, you will get screwed over, and there will be a mild sexual tension between Andre and his manager.. Although it comes across as creepy at times.

Physical Over Digital

Earlier I read, over on IGN, that the digital sales of Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 were a good sign that simultaneously releasing a new game in the shop, as well as the Xbox Marketplace or Playstation Network could become a more regular occurrence.

Personally I don’t like the idea of buying and downloading all of my games. I'll buy a game from the Xbox Live Arcade every now and then, but when it comes to games like BulletStorm, Fight Night, Homefront or any of the other big releases coming up, I want a physical copy in my hands.

Mass Effect 2 was priced at £47.99 on the Playstation Network , I paid £39.99 over a year ago for a new copy for the 360, it is also a 12Gb download, that is roughly 1½ hours for me to download plus installation time on the PS3, . I can be in town and in my local GAME within 10 minutes of leaving home, then another 10 minutes for the walk home, then I can pop it into the console and can be playing. It also gives me a solid 20 minutes of fresh air.

Maybe its the hoarder in me, but I like to look at my bookshelf and see the game cases staring back, having a collection, be it games, books, or little china cats in funny costumes, is partly about the ability to look over it every now and then. It doesn’t have the same feel looking at your 360 or PS3's hard disk space screen as looking over the row (or row's) of cases with some really nice artwork, at time they can be downright hideous though.

If digital copies are the future of home entertainment, I'm not sure how I would react to that.
I'd still play my games, but would look back longingly at the bare shelf space thinking of the good old days...

Am I alone in thinking like this?

Fight Night Champion, So Far...

I am having an interesting time with Fight Night Champion at the moment.

On one hand I am loving the revised full spectrum punch controls, as a button veteran of the series (I waited for the downloadable pack for Fight Night: Round 4 reintroducing the buttons before I finished playing ) using the right thumbstick now feels more natural, pulling off 4 punch combinations including uppercuts and hooks is a lot easier. In fact compared to the last game using the buttons makes your fighting feel slower which is a little off putting.

Legends mode is the standard create your boxer and take him to the heady levels of greatness gamemode we all know and love, if your a raging egomaniac like me the game face feature is a lot faster than the last time. Upload a picture of yourself to http://www.easports.com and you can create a virtual fight who, sort of, looks like you.

At the moment the little bit of hate I have for the game is aimed squarely at “Champion” mode, the story mode in the title. Charting the rise, fall and rise again of “Andre Bishop” an up and coming middleweight boxer. After getting screwed over and sent to prison your released to make a comeback.

The fights inside prison were interesting, bare knuckled and against skinheads, with no rules. But the story plays out like a really poorly written script for a discarded Rocky film.
Certain matches have certain requirements, “Knock so-and-so out before round 3” or “win by knock out”, my favourite was definitely “win only using your left hand” which takes place after you hit your opponent so hard you break your right hand.. which was different for me, the majority of my jabs and hooks come from the right. Although the conversation between Andre and his trainer Gus amused me for a few seconds

Andre - “my right hand, its broken”
Gus - “what are you going to do”
Andre - “use the left”

So barring a really... really poor story mode, Fight Night Champion is a lot of fun

I will be taking a look at the multiplayer soon, but you now what to expect from a Fight Night game, if you like boxing it will be on your to buy list.

2011 The Year of the Comic Movie

Love kick-ass? I sure as hell do. I’ve sat and watched this trailer over and over for the last 15 minutes, The film is called “Super” and is out this year.


This looks freaking funny, and reinforces my view that this year is going to be fantastic for superhero movie's.

This has just shot up its way into my must watch list along with Captain America, Thor, Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class

Bored With Your Xbox Pad Buttons?

Recently I got bored with how my 360's control pad looked. I use the special edition Halo Reach pad, I'm a sucker for special edition items.

In February's Official Xbox UK magazine there was a feature on a company called Rogue Controllers, the website http://www.roguecontrollers.co.uk/ shows off what they can do.

On Rogue Controllers eBay store they also sell bits and pieces that you can do minor modifications with. I ordered the "Bullet Mod" which replaces the Dpad and A,B,X and Y buttons with a shotgun shell and 9mm Luger rounds.





I'm quite pleased with how it looks.

If your interested in changing the look of your pads, or getting yourself a fully customised pad give Rogue Controllers a look.

Of course this has given me the idea to do something with my wired pad (plain black). If I do attempt anything I'll be sure to put up sone pictures ;)

Ooo 3DS

I have changed my view slightly on the Nintendo 3DS. I stopped by my local GAME store today to trade in some games for Fight Night Champion, I did say I was impatient, and was shown the stores recently arrived demo unit.

It was better than i thought it would be

I’m going to be honest, just looking at the 3DS I wasn’t immediately blown away. The 3DS seems a little bit smaller than the DSi, but the screen itself a little bigger. Still quite pretty comfy to hold though. And the gloss finish does make it look sexy (the stores was a nice shiny black one)

Dragon Age 2 Demo... Still Pondering


From the Dragon Age YouTube channel

I'm still unconvinced about dragon age 2, the demo has been up on Xbox 360's marketplace for over a week now and I’ve been trying to think why its just not clicking with me. All I've come up with is “its the same, but different”. It looks better but it seems to have gone the way of the PlayStation 2 Baldurs Gate series, more hack & slash adventure than RPG. And to me those games became really boring, really quickly

At least i know Bethesda wont let Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim go wrong, unless the entire team are replaced by monkeys for some unholy reason.

Friday Is Nearly Here...

Fight Night Champion is released tomorrow, unfortunately I will have to wait for pay day next week to buy it. This makes me sad... By nature I'm a very impatient person when it comes to buying games, I want it and I want it now.

Something that has taken my mind off of this though is hearing about Double Fines newest offering, Double Fine were behind 2009's “Brütal Legend” a game with so much potential, but let down by the fact it didn’t know what the hell it wanted to be.. action adventure, real time strategy with guitar heroes style button pushing to activate special moves. And by god was it short, 5 hours to finish. The only proper saving grace was Jack Black starring as your character, well that and probably the best game soundtrack... ever.

Double fine has hit its stride though with Xbox Arcade titles, the last game “Stacking” was released last month. It is a puzzle game which had you playing as Charlie, a matryoshka doll... you know those Russian wooden dolls in which you open one up and lo there is a slightly smaller one inside, open that one up and... yeah it continues, and you had to save your family from an evil baron.

The newest title has been revealed, “Trenched” mech warfare and so far the trailer looks impressive.


This looks to combine my favourite game types, robots and shooting things with robots. This may be the first arcade title I have bought in ages.

The last being Battlefield 1943, I'm going be keeping my eyes on this one

When Worlds Collide...

As a gamer and cinema worker its getting pretty regular that my hobby and working life collide, I'm always filled with a sense of dread when I hear "totally-awesome game heading to the big screen".

The recent announcement that the fantastic "Devil May Cry" is getting a movie make over has hit me with a mixture of, oh for the love of... and could be actually be alright. The movie rights have been sold to Screen Gems, who admittedly have done a decent job with the Resident Evil films. I thought the first film was brilliant, the following 3 films, Apocalypse, Extinction and Afterlife (in 3D!!) were ok, not god awful but not brilliant.

Thinking about it, movies based on video games have generally fallen into two categories, Passable and Oh God Why?

Ipad 2, As I See it...

Front and rear facing cameras
33% thinner, its now thinner than an iPhone 4
same battery life, 10 hours usage 1 month on standby (who doesnt touch their gadgets for a month??)
Dual Core Processors
Graphics 9 times faster
Released worldwide by the end of the month (25th for the UK)
Comes in 2 colours.. Black or white
Same Price...

Dammit I still want one

Things to look forward to

Upcoming games I'm interested in:

Fight Night Champion

The latest in EA's Fight Night boxing series, with incredibly realistic looking fighters and the love it or loathe it total control punch system (use the right stick to attempt to make your opponent look like a hunk of meat in the butchers window), personally I'm a button user but I do like to experiment.

Homefront
FPS from Kaos studio, who's last outing was "Frontlines: Fuel of War" and THQ depicting the fictional invasion of America by a Unified Korea. The setting of this has really caught my attention, to be honest there aren't too many games out depicting the United States as the victims of an invading force.. Actually I can't think if any.
It's urban combat with near future tech, plus competitive multiplayer with the maps ever changing to include new mission objectives

Today I Have Mostly Been attempting Rear Entry

I've spent a good chunk of today playing Bulletstorm on the Xbox 360.
The story took 8 hours to finish, though i suspect more capable players could finish it quicker.. I did die a lot..

Stand out moment for me.. Controlling a giant Mecha-godzilla type beast whom Grayson Hunt (your character) had named "Waggleton P. Tallywacker"
Just when you think your getting the hang of the skill shots, the games main pull of getting you to try and kill the thousands of freaks, mutants and general raving lunatics running at you to introduce your face to your own backside, you stumble across a remote control for good old Waggleton.
