Rock Band Blitz: Kicking It Old School
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 04, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Say goodbye to plastic peripherals and hello to some streamlined, fast-paced rhythm action.
Before Guitar Hero and Rock Band reduced our living rooms to a plastic peripheral junk yard, developer Harmonix made a little known title for PlayStation 2 called Frequency; a fast-paced rhythm game that used a standard PlayStation 2 controller to perform songs. So too did its follow-up Amplitude, which upped the pace and made the seizure-inducing visuals even more outlandish. Both were incredibly tricky...
Is Far Cry 3’s Multiplayer worth howling over?
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 04, 2012 | Leave a Comment
We got to play two maps and two game modes to find out.
While Far Cry 2 boasted a long and varied single player campaign, its multiplayer didn’t really manage to compete in a post-Modern Warfare world. For Far Cry 3, a separate team at Ubisoft Massive is hoping to create a multiplayer experience that can compete with the shooting genre’s heavy hitters, as well as carve a niche of its own. We were lucky enough to get to play the game at a recent preview event to find out how it’s...
From Halo to Hadley’s Hope: Building a Flexible Aliens Sequel

Randy Pitchford on why he wants you to experience your own personal Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Randy Pitchford is an enthusiastic guy. With an infectious smile and a limitless supply of energy, the man at the helm of Gearbox is always willing to tell you why he’s so excited about his studio’s latest project. But unlike most CEOs, he has a level of blunt honesty interspersed with all that energy that can reveal some interesting details about his work as...
Borderlands 2: Playing the Siren
Posted by Game Spot on Apr 04, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Forget everything you think you know about sirens in Borderlands; Maya has little in common with her predecessor.
Along with Dan Chiappini from GameSpot’s Australian team, I recently had an opportunity to play through a lengthy demo of Borderlands 2–the same demo that PAX East attendees will be able to get their hands on later this week. Dan and I played through the demo’s two zones cooperatively using the only two characters that were available;...
Borderlands 2: Gunzerkering

Do twice the guns mean double the fun in Borderlands 2? We find out when we take take Salvador the gunzerker out to the target range.
What’s got two itchy trigger fingers and loves the hunt for phat lewt? This guy! At a recent event, Justin Calvert and I had the chance to sit down and take Salvador the gunzerker and Maya the siren for a spin in Borderlands 2. Since the machines were set up next to each other (PCs with Xbox 360 controllers), it made sense to tag-team the two-zone demo...
PC Game: Too Cute to Fail
Posted by Game News on Apr 02, 2012 | Leave a Comment
If Spirit Tales can be summed up in one word, it’s this one: cute. The free-to-play MMO from Beijing-based KoramGame Ltd. definitely doesn’t take itself seriously, unlike other fantasy-based RPGs (and the people who play them). With an emphasis on ease over skill and style over substance, not to mention the huge variety of ways you can play “dress up” with your characters, there’s the temptation to chalk this up as a “kiddie” game. If you did, though,...
PC Game: WWI. Now with Mechs!
Posted by Game News on Apr 01, 2012 | Leave a Comment
It seems that Gratuitous Tank Battles is the latest of Positech’s Gratuitous series – a sequel, of sorts to Gratuitous Space Battles. This new game shares quite a bit with its predecessor, such as over-the-top particle effects, the ability to customize units and, perhaps, an engine. However, this time the battle is a lot closer-to-home, taking place right here on Earth, albeit in a version of Earth where World War I never ended. Taking command of the English forces, you’ll be going...
Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Hands-On Preview
Posted by AusGamers on Mar 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment
It might seem like a strange decision to add multiplayer to Max Payne 3, but according to Rockstar it’s actually something that was even on the drawing board for the first two games.
The obvious reason it was never fully realised though, was how to translate Max’s signature single-player bullet-time moves into a mode with multiple human players. Rockstar feels they’ve nailed the problems down though, and with a basic line-of-sight rule that applies to bullet-time, it definitely...
Spending Bullet Time With Friends: Max Payne 3 Multiplayer
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Has Rockstar figured out how to adapt Max Payne’s signature mechanic into a multiplayer setting?
You’re pinned behind a bus in a Sao Paulo transit depot, with a half-dozen mercenaries ready to wipe you from the face of the Earth the second you peek your head past the headlights. You keep still, planning your next move, when out of nowhere some lunatic flings himself from a second-story window and manages to shoot every single one of those armed thugs before...
