Afro Samurai - first gameplay trailer

April 21st, 2008

The video game adaptation of the Japanese anime series Afro Samurai, featuring cult hero Samuel L. Jackson, looks to be off to a great start. I love the stylized gore, and the Shinobi-esque death sequences for chopped up enemies - I just hope it doesn’t get cut from the Australian release.

Grand Theft Auto for the NES

April 20th, 2008

CollegeHumor has done it again. This time it’s a parody of Grand Theft Auto, set in the days we all thought Super Mario Bros. 3 was the bomb. You didn’t really think they’d let a massively hyped game hit the shelves without taking the piss out of it, did you?

The most elaborate Halo 3 betrayal ever?

April 20th, 2008

Saved replays are possibly the most awesome feature ever to hit console FPS games. First there was those Halo 3 plasma grenade throws, now we have this rather elaborate death by falling Warthog.

“Lost” the video game: Trailer including gameplay

January 26th, 2008

Ubisoft’s latest TV screen-to-console attempt will soon be upon us. And in this latest trailer, we are treated to some cutscene and gameplay action. This is, if you class camera pointing and clicking as ‘action’.

Sure, the graphics and voice acting may leave a little to be desired, but I’m sure the legions of Lost devotees will make the purchase to complement the Series 4 return.

Super Mario 2 with drumming - like video game music should be

January 25th, 2008

It’s a well known fact that drums make everything better. So it’s no surprise then that Italian drummer Andrea Vadrucci’s drumming to the 8-bit melodies of Super Mario 2 makes it phenomenal. Someone should really get together with this guy and produce some banging Nintendo covers. Not like that hasn’t been done before.

Far Cry 2: Safari simulator

January 25th, 2008

Ubisoft have just released this video of Far Cry 2 running on their new Dunia game engine. A word of warning though, if you are expecting a action packed video don’t look here, its pretty much a video showing off the engine. If you didn’t know any better you’d think Far Cry 2 was an African safari sim. The fire at the end is rather interesting - is Far Cry 2 going to do for fire what the original Far Cry did for water?
