Game Trailer: Transformers: The War for Cybertron

Here’s a sneak peek at the forthcoming action-adventure game based on the Transformers franchise, which is due out at some point in 2010. Annoyingly over-done camera ‘distortion’ aside, it looks pretty much as you’d expect from the never-ending series of CGI-heavy games, movies and television shows. To my knowledge, there’s never been a Transformers game […]

Game Trailer: Mass Effect 2

For those of you who haven’t played the original action-roleplayer Mass Effect, I suggest you take full advantage of the various cut-down deals being offered on the frankly brilliant sci-fi sprawler right now.

Games: Avoider

There’s a strange man wearing an orange snuggy, and he wants your mouse pointer. Who is he? What drives him to do the things he does? It’s rumoured that if you can keep your mouse pointer safe for more than three hours, everything will become clear. Avoid doing important things today, and give Avoider a […]

Game On: New Left 4 Dead 2 trailer ‘leaked’ online!

Showcasing the four new survivors, some of the new Infected and the brand of humour we’ve come to expect from the L4D team, this new trailer should go some way toward cooling the anger over the perceived abandonment of the original game, which itself was released just under a year ago. Personally, I’m already sold. […]
