Red Alert 3 - “Talent” Trailer

To anyone who’s ever played these games, Command & Conquer has always been about the cutscenes. Red Alert, to me at least, was always “C&C without Kane”. Sure, the gameplay tended to be better, but Kane was what really mattered.

This time round it’s different. This time round it’s personal. This time round, Red Alert 3 is “C&C without Kane or Lando Calrissian or that bloke from Starship Troopers/Total Recall”!

Ever since RA3 was announced, the question was always going to be “Can EA outcheese Billy Dee Williams & Michael Ironside arguing about the best way to blow everything up?”

With the new cast announced at the Leipzig Games Convention, EA is certainly giving it its best shot. We’ve got Lisa Hunter from Hollyoaks, John Abruzzi from Prison Break, J. Jonah Jameson from Spiderman, Governor Weatherby from Pirates of the Carribean and the smug, bearded, tubby chap from almost every B film ever made!

Oh, and Sulu seems to have been taking lessons from the Klingons. Right on.

Project RPB has Risen

A couple of years ago, things looked pretty grim for Gothic fans. With the release of a rather buggy Gothic 3, tensions between publisher Jowood & developer Piranha Bytes heightened & the future for the series was uncertain.

Now, with Jowood having announced both Gothic 4 & an expansion pack for Gothic 3 and PB revealing this trailer for Risen (previously Project RPB), things are looking up.

All I can say is that if PB manage to combine the atmosphere and story-telling of their original Gothic with the graphics in their new trailer, then this is one gamer who is going to feel ruddy bloody good!

Tiger Woods Makes The Jesus Shot!

Bugs are an unfortunate and sometimes unavoidable part of gaming. When you actually think about the many thousands of lines of code and the man hours of testing required, it’s fairly reasonable to allow the occasional flaw.  Although in Tiger Woods 08 one incredible glitch that should have been found and removed was the ability to walk on water, shown in the above video.

New Prince of Persia game walkthrough!

So in this video (Below) is what we are to expect from the new game in both looks and game play!

Well what do you think? Personally I think that somewhere down the line this game has gone from

Noooooooooooooo!!!

Those of you with a sensitive disposition should look away now. For the rest of you sick, depraved individuals, watch as a dear old friend is killed in the most horrible way imaginable.

Meet The Sandvich Video

One of the Heavy’s unlockable weapons is actually food and is called The Sandvich.

It tastes as good as it looks and heals 120 health. Like in real life, the decision to eat a Sandvich must not be taken lightly; The Heavy is completely vulnerable during the four second eating process, and his loud, happy sounds of vigorous chewing will draw enemies like tiny ant cowards to a picnic. OF DEATH. On the bright side, the Heavy’s Sandvich supply is unlimited, so his only real concern is being caught short while enjoying this delicious edible device. The Sandvich is a great tool for a Heavy defending an area, as it gives him the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post. Similarly, an offensive Heavy without a Medic can step back from the front line and grab a quick snack before resuming his rampage. Beware, however: the Heavy must set aside his shotgun to take the Sandvich, and enemy Snipers are much more dangerous for a Heavy wielding only a minigun.

New Resident Evil 5 Trailer

An extended version of original trailer, this looks absolutely stunning although not as revolutionary as Resident Evil 4, but still, it promises to continue the high standard set by it’s predecessor.

It’s a Gort!

Found on Laughing Squid is this video of Randy George playing the Mario theme on the Theremin. Randy is currently recording a classical Theremin album and is looking for donations to help him complete the project, so put your hands in your pockets and show your appreciation.

Assassin’s Creed 2 or MGS4?

So as I have been playing Assassin’s Creed on the Xbox for the past week (So many flags to find!) I have been on the lookout for anything regarding a sequel or news in general about the game and came across this video (Below) and thought I would share it with you! (Read on …)

Dodging the Blue Shell

Up until now I didn’t think you could get away from the evil “Spiked Blue Shell” in Mario Kart Wii, but looks like I was wrong! Thanks to Mat here at the Level Select he has shown me a cool video (Below) of just how to escape the Shell of doom! (Read on …)

Fracture

FractureHIRESv2.wmv

I’ve seen acrobatics in Halo before but I’ve never seem anything quite like this.

Created by Foo Foo and staring a collection of free running Halo 3 players, this video shows us that if you have the mind to do it, then nowhere is out of bounds. With the help of a few well placed granades and the rocket launcher, sees these players not only reach new heights, but seemingly walk on walls too (watch out for that near the end).

Tanguy Mega Man Orchestra

On the back of the awesome Mega Man 9 announcement Tanguy has released a cover of Mega Man.

It’s so good that I think it’s been promoted to my favourite Tanguy tune, check out the video
embedded and hear for yourself. If you have not yet experienced the full awesomeness of Tanguy Ukulele Orchestra, then you really need to do so, now!

Mega Man 9 Soundtrack

Fortunately for us gamers Capcom understands that there is a market for game music (or a least they understand there’s money to be made from it). So it comes as relatively no surprise to find out that the yet unreleased Mega Man 9 is getting the soundtrack treatment. (Read on …)

Red Alert III beta?

Check out the above video of some guy playing (Beta testing?) the new Command & Conquer: Red Alert III game and i have to say it looks very good and feels just like the other Red Alert games that have come before it!

Snake Played On Dorm Windows

I’m sure must of you will be familiar of the Snake game. The title that ship as standard with mobile phones before the age of colour screens (talk about show my age!). Snake has made the jump from little mobile screen to giant immobile screen.

This might remind you of the also awesome Tetris game recreated in dorm windows, which while similar, was created by an entirely different group of students. A group of Russian students to be exact and you can check out their work here House Tetris. This new work, however, was cleverly put togehter by Polish students and you check out more of their work at their youtube page.

Soul Calibur IV Character Creator

Now the video above just goes to show you that there are some people with far too much time on their hands, but how could I be so mean to someone that has created B. Orchid from Killer Instinct using only the Soul Calibur IV Character Creator!

Just count how many different character’s have been made I mean there are fighters from Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Super Smash Bros Brawl, X-Men, and of course Street Fighter.

All that i have left to say is please make more and “Combo Breaker!!!“

Wii-controlled Canoe

Something to get us all in that Friday feeling, Tim Hirzel has created a Wii nun-chuck controlled boat for those extra lazy days on the river. What he has done is combine the Wii nun-chuck with an Arduino,  an Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. (Read on …)

Machinima UK Music Video Contest

Have you ever watched Machinima and thought to yourself that you could do better? Or simply watched it and thought you’d like to give it a try? Well Machinima.com/uk and Rustlers Microwave snacks have teamed up with Jonathan Coulton (bloke above of Portal Still Alive fame) to offer UK residents a chance of Machinima fame and fortune.

Open to any UK resident over the age of eighteen, it’s a chance for any budding director to show off their skills and help raise their profile both within the community and for the community itself.

Jonathan Coulton has very kindly lent two of his songs to the competition, of which one needs to be used to create a music video within the realms of Machinima, it’s that simple.

For more information about the competition, the rules and the cool prizes on offer for the winners visit the competition page.

Also for those who would like to give it a try but lack the technical knowhow might want to check out DigitalPh33r’s Guide to Making Halo 3 Machinima: Parts One & Two (which granted are made will Halo 3 and Xbox in mind but are still full of useful information none the less).

Quake Live Trailer

It’s been quite a while since we heard anything about Quake Live, id’s free online Quake III game. It almost went through E3 without even a peep. Fortunately a trailer for the game was sighted by one of Destructoid’s readership (I’m assuming from the post credit) and posted on the website.

The idea of a free version of Quake both baffles and amazes, it’s a bold move by id and will be a timely reaction to current gaming market. Off course “free” comes at a price, which in this case you pay with your senses and not your wallet. This is because all of the 30 levels being made available will carry some form of advertisement, how much of an endorsement per stage is not yet known.

From a financial stand point the game is covered from the adverts, so the ability for these companies to recoup their investment will be scrutinised (if possible). I think the real question should be if from a gamers perspective, can a game laden with adverts be as immersive as one without?

I think this issue and ultimately its success will boil down if gamers can.

Mega Man 9 Trailer

The latest trailer for Mega Man 9 sets up the story by showing the introduction to the game as well as some snazzy editing splicing in some awesome gameplay footage too.

A word of warning for the uninitiated, in anticipation of Mega Man 9 and it’s throwback to 80’s gaming I decided to have myself some old school Mega Man loving. I’m embarrassed to admit that after playing the original game I came away having my arse well and truly kicked. Needless to say I’m determined to recapture my 80’s gaming mojo and best Mega Man, I think that all these fancy 3D graphics have softened me up over the years and I’m not as hardcore is I think I am!

All indications point to Mega Man 9 being every bit as hard as the original it’s trying to emulate. which is great news indeed and should blow away some of the cobwebs of living on rich 3D grahpics these past 10 years.
