3DS Set To Best Year One DS Sales
The past year has been somewhat turbulent for Nintendo. 2011 has seen Wii sales slump, a brand-new console announced to a somewhat muted reception and some of the poorest financial results in recent memory (Nintendo reported a loss of £578m last month).
Editorial: Call of Duty is not respecting it's duty, calling the shots in the video game industry
I put it to you, that since the later stages of Modern Warfare onwards, Call of Duty has defecated all over the games industry, and encouraged one its biggest threats, perhaps ever.
Was the GTA V release date confirmed?
The signs. They're everywhere. One frame in particular has been identified, as a bystander hammers in a "For Sale" sign and the curb reads "2405." Put the two together, and you have one hell of a red herring.
CoD 4 and MW2 Map files found in Modern Warfare 3?
So Reddit user SMKTZ found five maps from the original Modern Warfare and it's second iteration hidden away in Modern warfare 3's game files.
This has been a historically regular occurence with the previous titles in the series, with file extension-related 'hints' to recreated homages to previous famous multiplayer maps of old. This time around, we have 4 maps from original and one from the second: Crash, Crossfire, Strike, Overgrown and Highrise.
Game of the Week: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
It’s odd how the cogs of the game industry turn. After days, weeks and months ticking off the days to pass us over the drought of summer releases, this week sees us treated to two of the biggest, most anticipated releases of the year. With minutes seeming like seconds and hours like mere minutes in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 thus far this week, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim promises to take whole days away from us completely with its mesmerising blend of high fantasy lore, deep role-playing mechanics and the natural beauty of its expansive world.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review
Take note, dear reader, this is not the revolution that it may have been subconciously hyped up to be within your existence. To expect such a feat would be to ruin what product of near perfection you'll be holding in your hands from midnight tonight.
'Spent' shows how life changes when your unemployed
How would your life change if you were suddenly made unemployed? It's a question that very few of us would like to ponder, but one we should all be familiar with. Could you stretch the latest welfare payment/minimum wage pay cheque across household bills, rent, proper health insurance, and adequate care for your children?
Editorial: Stop hating, haters. Modern Warfare 3 deserves it's plaudits.
Infinity Ward has a knack for attracting controversy. Whether it’s in attracting the negative attention of the mainstream press with the unceremonious firing of ex-employees and founders Vince Zampella and Jason West, or fuelling anger with the misconceived inclusion of the now infamous ‘No Russian’ airport mass genocide. Modern Warfare 3 is no stranger to contentious issues either it seems - last week we highlighted another emotionally provocative scene in which a young girl is subject to a roadside bomb.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review
So when we reported about copies of the game being sold early, turns out Amazon had a miscalculation with our order, meaning we've had it all day to playtest.
Turns out, it's everything that we've expected.
Modern Warfare 3 mayhem. Copies stolen and shops start selling early
French Police have confirmed that a truck containing 6,000 copies of the shooter have been hijacked, and shops in Britain have confirmed to CVG that they have been selling the game early.
GTA V video comparison with GTA: San Andreas
Did you ever get that feeling, while watching the fantastic new trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, that you've seen some of the shots before? The plane flying away from the camera, the panning shot from the beach, most can be taken from the original San Andreas trailer...well some.
Modern Warfare 3 Live action trailer
From the recent trend in video-game advertising, it's been pretty clear that live action is definitely in for this season, as Activision jump on the bandwagon and promote Modern Warfare 3 with a flight of humour and noob pwning.
Stealth Bastard: the free retro stealth/laser/robot/shooter game
Bringing in the retro homage of pixellated platform gaming, Stealth Bastard is as treacherously well designed as it is visually enticing, and the pricetag isn't so bad either (it's free).
Alan Wake Sequel Confirmed For XBLA
Though long-rumoured and leaked in part in May, Remedy Entertainment today confirmed that an Alan Wake sequel is in the works. Titled Alan Wake’s Night Springs, somewhat surprisingly for such a high-profile IP, the follow-up to the Twin Peaks-inspired psychological thriller (that grew to be really boring after the first two levels) will not see the light of day at retail.
Game of the Week: Uncharted 3
Videogames’ self-proclaimed “silly season” is finally here. The drought of game releases over the summer period has come to an end; nights are drawing in, the temperature is moving closer to zero, and the release calendar is stuffed to capacity. But where best to place your hard-earned cash? Distancing ourselves from hyperbolic hype speak and unreachable expectations, what should you really be investing your time into? Over the coming weeks, allow New Rising Media to round-up the week’s freshest, most tantalising new releases. As a plucky red, blue and white plumber once said: here we go!
Modern Warfare 3 scene causes controversy...surprised?
SPOILER ALERT.
First it was the mass genocide of civilians in the predecessor, and now it's the death of a child due to an exploding truck in Modern Warfare 3. We're sitting in anticipation for this one to raise the mass concern among the British press.
Playstation Home relaunches
Playstation Home is to be receiving the culminatory results of a major overhaul today. We're looking to get genre-themed districts and freemium games...that will most probably still not be used.
Grand Theft Auto V Trailer analysis
"Why did I move here?" A male voice asks. "Guess it was the weather." The countdown is over. The Grand Theft Auto V trailer went live a few minutes ago, and it reveals a lot...through revealing next-to-nothing at all.
New Humble Bundle out today
The third in Wolfire Games' Pay-what-you-want indie game selections released today, titled the Humble Voxatron Debut.
Just one game this time: Voxatron, a voxel-based platformer-shooter with open-source support for content generated by the user. The game has been released in a Minecraft-like alpha state, with those buying the game guaranteed access to all of developer Lexaloffle's future content updates.
Battlefield 3 review
If you've managed to skip by the HD texture install issue on the 4GB 360, then you will be treated to one of the greatest first person visual feasts this year.
