• Batman... Not Always on the Ball

  14 Apr 2011

  With the arrival of Arkham City slowly creeping up on us, it seems people are about to go bat crazy all over again, for what looks like another great game. However, in the past, the Batman franchise hasn’t had as much success as it would like on the computer games side of things, here are some examples of forgotten failings from Batman.

  

• Five of the Worst Games Ever

  12 Apr 2011

  This one is so bad, it moves past the realms of funny because it’s just so terrible.

  

• Five Great Gaming Easter Eggs

  12 Apr 2011

  Easter Eggs are the hilarious moments in games that everyone wants more of, the tucked away secret rooms or bonus upgrades that are sometimes near impossible to reach. Sometimes an accidental glitch, but more often than not a purposeful hidden gem left by the bored developer; the easter egg is always an absolute pleasure to find and a lovely piece of what makes gaming such a joy. This list is incredibly difficult to compile, mainly because of the vast amount of possible entries; so please don’t crucify me if I’ve missed one of your favourites! I haven’t even been able to consider the more recent titles, so unfortunately things like Marcus Fenix finding a toaster in Gears of War 2, and the crazy fish riding man in Borderlands haven’t made the list (though you should check them out, they are absolutely hilarious).

  

• Hands On With Alice Madness Returns

  08 Apr 2011

  The follow up to Alice, is looking brilliant, brutal and fun. We got the chance to play on two different levels; one from earlier on in the game which was set in the Mad Hatter’s world and the other from later on, set in the Red Queen’s palace garden.

  

• Preview of Battlefield 3 (with new screenshots)

  08 Apr 2011

  EA’s marketing director Stuart Lang started off his showcase opening speech, by saying that they really believe Battlefield 3 is going to be the FPS game of the year. From what we saw played out in front of us (on a super powered PC may I add), it did look very beautiful, and looked as if it played like a contender to say the least.

  

• Hands On With the Fancy Pants Adventures

  08 Apr 2011

  Firstly, type Fancy Pants in to Google and play the flash games that this masterpiece is based on. Secondly, come back here and read this hands-on.

  

• Hands On With Warp

  08 Apr 2011

  I had seen the Warp demo being played previously, and was eager to get my hands on it as soon as I could. Unfortunately the game is still in early stages of development, so it could be a while before we get to see it in full, but its set to be a great entertaining experience.

  

• Hands on With Portal 2

  31 Mar 2011

  Valve were showing off the first level of the game again, the same introduction that has been shown at recent conferences like PAX. This was my first chance to get hands on with Portal 2, so it was an exciting experience to be able to play the first half hour of Valves puzzle based FPS.

  

• The End: Disappointing Ends to Games

  24 Mar 2011

  I’m very much a story driven guy, I like my game stories to pick me up and take me on an adventure that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do in real life. Games plots are getting increasingly better as time goes on and computer games are even putting a new idea on what story telling can be. All you have to do is look at Heavy Rain; it took the basic choose your own adventure idea, and brought it into the modern digital world. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of a games story is the closure, you wouldn’t expect a movie to end poorly, so why do so many games get away with their awkward endings? (This is not a judgement on the quality of game.)
