Get off the couch and get involved with the sports in London 2012 – The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games.
It’s that time again, when vague disinterest gives way to devoted nationalism and cries of “Gold!”. As the Olympics draw closer, so does the release of the video game: Sega’s London 2012 – The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games. We recently had the chance to sit down, suit up, and embrace our inner athlete. Featuring more than 45 sports...

AusGamers was given an opportunity to check out one of the few surviving Aussie development studios (not exclusively working on mobile and iOS titles), SEGA Studios Australia, who’re based in Brisbane, and their forthcoming London 2012 – The Official Video Game of the Olympics.
We sent our roving newcomer, Mr Naren Hooson, north of Sydney for his first studio tour and visit, to not only check out the game but to also chat to the guys about what makes their game tick. And while making...
How Sega Is Transforming the Next Sonic Kart Racer
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment
The follow-up to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing brings new drivers, new tracks, and two new vehicle types.
When you hear people talk about Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, you’re going to hear a lot of references to Rare’s 1997 kart racer, Diddy Kong Racing. Both are goofy racing games starring a host of animal mascots, and both put you behind the wheel of cars, planes, and hovercrafts. In Diddy Kong Racing, you had to choose which vehicle...

Squad of War? Find out why Kratos is bringing friends to the party in God of War: Ascension.
“Kratos was an asshole in God of War II and III,” said Todd Pappy, game director of God of War: Ascension, as our presentation began. This fourth console release, and earliest GOW prequel, gives Sony Santa Monica Studio a chance to colour god-slayer Kratos in a very different light. The team is emphatic that this is their most ambitious game yet, and it’s easy to see why. The scale...
Meet Dynamite Jack: Part MGS, Part Bomberman
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Ever consider escaping from an underground mine armed with an unlimited supply of bombs while dodging lasers and henchmen?
If the stealthy gameplay of Metal Gear Solid collided with the audacious weapons of Bomberman, you would get Dynamite Jack. In this top-down action adventure game, you play as a former space marine, who was captured during battle and made to work in a mine against his will, until he figured out a way to break out. But that’s only half the battle. You must escape...

We find out which Sony characters will reign supreme when the company’s biggest hitting personalities come out to fight.
The rumours have been circulating for months. What would happen if Sony took a healthy slathering of its iconic PlayStation characters and played them off against each other in a virtual battle to the death? Turns out it’s no longer a pipe dream, with the publisher revealing PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the awkwardly long title that will allow you...
Firefall: Jetpacks in Copacobana
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 25, 2012 | Leave a Comment
We traverse the first few areas of the Firefall closed beta, and partake in some shooting revelry.
It’s not just the familiar shooter controls and feel, the different perspective choices between third-person and first-person, the cell-shaded aesthetics, and the ability to leap tall bounds with the jetpack that got us really into Red 5’s latest online shooter Firefall. In fact, it’s not even the fact that is still looks polished for a free-to-play title (a common trend with...

Is Sly stealing candy from a baby, or going after Fort Knox in this long-awaited sequel? We find out in our first hands-on play.
Just when you thought it was safe to start leaving your valuables sitting around without fear of them being pilfered, raccoon master thief, Sly Cooper makes his stealthy return to the PlayStation family. Though his latest adventure comes six years since the last game, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves shipped, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a direct sequel, being developed...
Crysis 3: Welcome to the (Urban) Jungle
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment
We got fun n… games. Also, high-tech archery, swamps.
One of Crysis 3’s sci-fi superguns fires 500 rounds a second. That’d be 30,000 rounds a minute, math fans, if you didn’t have to reload after near enough every squeeze of the trigger. With each squeeze, the Typhoon assault weapon emits a low buzz and minces whatever is standing at the business end of the barrel–making it a sound and logical advance for futuristic weapon design, if not a great feat of imagination...
