Posted by AusGamers on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Good news for anyone who was keen on Human Head’s Prey 2, as rumours of a cancellation have been quashed today thanks to a note from Bethesda.Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled but the game will not be released in 2012 as planned. The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards. Prey 2 has shown great promise and we regret disappointing our fans. We have made a substantial...
Ron Paul Video Game Is On The Way
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
From the depth of Kickstarter, we’ve learned that a Ron Paul video game is on the way.
I’ve been trawling Kickstarter hardcore recently, and am overwhelmed with the sheer number of strange projects that people want to fund, from the mundane (this lady needs over $3,000 to make decorate candle wrappers) to the awesome (The Banner Saga: A Viking based strategy video game) to the really, really stupid (This guy wants $30,000 to develop a tin-can phone that connects to your cellphone), but...
Why The Halo Movie Didn’t Happen
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Way back in 2005, Microsoft made a serious play to create a blockbuster, tentpole Halo movie. The author of 28 Days Later was paid a million bucks to write a script. Fox and Universal were working with Microsoft to put it together. Denzel Washington was rumored to be interested in starring as Master Chief. Everyone was predicting huge things… Seven years later, the Halo flick is dead and buried. What happened?
While we’ve covered the surface of the various vicious Hollywood politics...
From Mother to Mass Effect – Creating A Better RPG
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Though Japanese RPGs have a firm template in place for how each release from that stable should be approached, Western RPGs have always been scattershot. Isometric visions of apocalyptic wastelands, sprawling high fantasy tales rife with warring factions, and even the gambles that mimic a J-RPG, right down to the party’s mannerisms and four-disc spread of content – remember PlayStation’s Shadow Madness?
All the different approaches, however, do not necessarily demonstrate that...
Trials Evolution Review
Posted by Giant Bomb on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
If you want to pop a wheelie on Stonehenge, this is your game.
True to its name, Trials Evolution is the biggest, baddest version yet of RedLynx’s brutally tough physics-based motorbike racing-platforming thing. The heart and soul of Trials hasn’t changed one bit; it’s still all about forcing you through the most complicated obstacle courses you could conceivably navigate on two wheels. Considering all I really wanted after playing Trials HD was more Trials, that’s a great...

Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
With Earth Week taking place, we thought that it would be a good idea to bring gamers back to their roots with Dungeons and Dragons. Pen and paper D&D is one of the most green forms of gaming. Every game ends with only a little paper to recycle and some great memories to share.
There’s a fair number of gamers who aren’t familiar with how to play D&D or even where to get started so we put together a little guide to help you along your way to taking over as your group’s Dungeon...
Super Monkey Ball To Include "Adult" Level
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz for the PS Vita will contain an "adult" themed level centering on Japanese swimsuit model Yukie Kawamura. This is for all those people who like Super Monkey Ball, but wish it was sexier.
The adult Monkey Ball level will only be available in Japan, and will be included as extra content available to people who buy the first run of the game. Basically, pick it up early and you’ll get a code that lets you download the T and/or A for your Vita. No...
Updating Your Console Could Help Save The Planet
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Updating your console could help conserve energy. As you might know, this is "green week" at G4, where we all work together to help out the environment, so listen: According to a recent study, most of the energy your game console consumes is used when it’s idle. Roughly 68 percent of all energy consumed by game consoles in 2010 was spent during idle time. In one year, we’ve wasted 10.8 TWh of energy — or roughly $1.24 billion.
The 360 has an auto shut-off feature, but...
