Once again I hit a dark period of posting but that wasn’t my fault. I’m currently staying at my girlfriends therefore I have been separated from my dear Xbox and frankly there hasn’t been much happening in the game world for me to comment about (I can’t do reviews just yet, lack of funds) So whilst all you people play you’re Fable, Fallout and beta’s (I had an Xbox 360 World at War beta key but my friend is using that, we will comment at some point on it, when I get to his and experience it) Click read more to view the new updated New Xbox Experience video and a chance to win a World at War PC Beta key.

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams Trailer – Direct Feed

2008 October 23
by Chris Black

Earlier this week I displayed a video for Bioshock 2 that was uploaded by a PS3 user, well now thanks to the genius of GameTrailers and video capture cards you can now witness what will hopefully be the next best thing in 2009 (hopefully!) in HD.

Hopefully

Hopefully

I’ll keep it short and sweet but this little tid-bit of info just nearly slipped under my radar, the shame I would have brought on myself. Speculation is still happening but for a much more official and accepted info source then head over to IGN. Prepare for a collective force orgasm. Hopefully it will have more success than that of Star Wars Galaxies.

And what the heck let’s add one of those new fandangled polls we can create:

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams

2008 October 18
by Chris Black

Youtube strikes again, providing the gaming world with information for it to salivate over but this time it is not Halo related, instead BioShock takes center stage; with the release of the first game on PS3’s already happening there is a little bonus Easter egg waiting within that disc (I’m not sure on how you specifically get it). Cue a caption for the Atlantic Coast, no year or date unlike the beginning of BioShock and a young girl holding a rag doll Big Daddy (leading me to think it is an older Little Sister that has escaped the confines of Rapture), serene music plays in the background whilst skyscrapers featuring Raptures’ art-deco style rise from the ground turning into a much more aged BioShock sign with barnacles galore.

Strolling Along

Not much to talk about lately, I’m sure you have been hearing tidbits of news everywhere. Dead Space hasĀ  been released today in America but us Europeans have to wait slightly longer; I’ve been interested in Dead Space for a long time and with it’s launch trailer on GameTrailers I’m pretty sure you won’t see a better trailer this week, it helps tell a little bit of the story without you having to watch the animated comics or the feature film tie-in (which doesn’t look like a crappy tie-in I might add) Watch the trailer after the break. In the personal news referring to the Woking Drama Festival we unfortunately didn’t win but we did walk away with three awards: Best Actor, Best Director and Best Use of Sound which we are very happy with and gives us enough closure to say goodbye to the Samsa family. read more…

Fable II – Online Goodness

Official Box Art...seriously

A few days ago it was announced that Fable II would not be released with its online co-op in place, instead it would come later as a patch; many of us thought “Woah, why not just delay the game till it’s fully intact” then those that did think that had an aneurysm for thinking silly things, granted the time could have been used to create a stable environment instead of your best friend coming in to your world on the first few days of release and making your wife cheat on you then bludgeoning her to a pulp right in front of your eyes. Instead we will not suffer a delay in game release or have to wait for the online functionality to be implemented as they will both arrive on time and hopefully bug free. I went to the job interview today, hopefully I’ll get it and if so expect this to be filling one of the many spots in my desired game list this November. Watch out for your wives people, they may be virtual but your virtual children will hate you and your friend.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, our nerves tingled when the LIVE service had to be shut down for 24 hours on that fateful Monday and before that when we had a system update but then all hope was smashed when we were dutifully informed that no new features would be implemented, Microsoft left us hanging with only a speculation that it would be released in the Autumn (Fall to the Americans). The wait is over, and many calenders around the world have been jotted into with “NXE YAY! FTW!!1″ under November 19th. Expect a lot of forum avatars to be displaying peoples new Xbox avatars (I’m very tempted). Now we just have to wait…Is it time yet? Now?…now?…how about now? Where did I put that time machine?
