There’s been a lack of posts over the last week or so as I’ve been busy doing some work of my own but I didn’t want to let this one by. I consider the first Just Cause game an ‘interesting experiment’ with the Xbox 360. It was a very nice looking sandbox game that didn’t push the boundaries too much but got some decent reviews and tested the 360 and showed the ‘next-generation’ gamer the kinds of things to expect from the console.
Now Just Cause 2 has been announced a while back and I feel the game may lack that little bit it had going for it originally. There are so many games out there now just like this that it may go unnoticed but I did want to post a video about one of the new features you can play around with. Namely the grappling hook. Here’s a bit from the developers and some footage!
Just this little tool itself used within a sandbox game could be hours of fun so maybe Just Cause has just cause for coming back for a second time.
Well the first trailer was a pretty big flop in terms of what James Cameron was promising to deliver for Avatar. This full length theatrical trailer seems to flesh out a great deal more with terms of plot and characters but there’s something still not sitting right with me.
I’m wondering if its due to the fact that we don’t get many ‘original’ stories any more. Or rather nothing this epic. This trailer did impress me a little more, although I always think they show too much but the effects are still a little off and I’m not totally bought into the alien world yet.
Avatar hits December 18th…here’s hoping it can still impress.
Never been a huge fan of portable game playing. I have a PSP but I actually prefer to watch films ‘on-the-go’ with the device. There is no doubt that Nintendo’s DSi has been a fan favorite with an amazing library of games and ‘Ghostwire’, coming out in late 2010 actually looks pretty interesting.
Using the mic and camera on the DSi, as well as in-game tools like the “EMF tuner,” players search around them for hidden ghosts, and then attempt to give them peace by solving puzzles. Some ghosts will require items before they appear and interact with you, and some will apparently be malevolent and less receptive to your efforts. At which point, we assume, you have to solve their problems despite their lack of help, instead of just leaving them to go about their ghostly business.
Its been dubbed as propaganda (Gizmodo) but it does give me a good idea what life would be like if there was a tiered internet. Not a good thing whatsoever.
The first of three short films by Ubisoft and Hybride Studios was released yesterday. Details found at Wikipedia:
The story is a prequel to the upcoming video game Assassin’s Creed II. It centers around the father of the game’s main character, Giovanni “Ezio” Auditore da Firenze.
Giovanni is an assassin living during the Renaissance in 15th centuryItaly. At this dawn of a new era, a conspiracy is being plotted by one corrupted family to overthrow the powerful Medici family and destroy an unified Italy. As an assassin, Giovanni must face this threat and bring justice. The story introduces the situation before Assassin’s Creed II, and the enemies of both characters.
I’m not sure what to make of it really, the effects are created by the same studio house that brought us 300 but the budget must have been significantly lower as the effects shots in this are low TV quality at best. It’s good to see this sort of thing being made and clocking in at just under 15mins is some good work but it doesn’t quite gear me up for Assassin’s Creed 2 as much as I thought it would. Maybe they should stick to computer animated films and try to explain the story that way. It certainly works for Left 4 Dead.
So here’s a photo of the new A-Team in all their shiny, weird and sort of HD shot. I didn’t even recognise Liam Neeson as Hannibal but I must say they do have the look down with just the right modern touch added.
It didn’t take long, in true Apple fashion another ‘comedy’ advert has appeared and tries to show up the release of Windows 7. It’s quirky and cute but I’m not sure its really gonna hit Microsoft that badly. Maybe this advertising campaign is running on its last legs…
I'm all Modern Warfared out for tonight, it's very good but I'm really going to miss the PC game-play this year. They bailed on those guys. 5 hours ago
