New Star Wars game teaser trailer - Force Unleashed 2?

2009-11-27T00:10:00.000-08:00

Star Wars has a long and chequered history when it comes to games. For every Knights of the OldRepublic or X-Wing there is a Super Bombad Racing or - shudder - Masters of Teras Kasi. More recently things have picked up with Force Unleashed surprisingly enjoyable and the upcoming MMO The Old Republic looking hugely promising. But what will the next Star Wars game be? A teaser trailer has just surfaced - Force Unleashed 2 maybe? All will be revealed on Dec 12th.

Go on then, it's Thursday and the weekend is still too far away. What are the top 3 best and worst Star Wars games? For me it's KOTOR, Tie Fighter and the original arcade machine - the latter mainly based on nostalgia it has to be said - for best. Teras Kasi, Bombad and the Episode 1 game for worst. Shadows of the Empire on N64 sitting somewhere - probably covered in fog - in the middle. What are yours then?

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 leaked footage analysis

2009-11-04T04:09:00.000-08:00

As soon as the controversial footage of Modern Warfare 2 made it into the public eye this week, there was no doubt a sharp intake of breath from the gaming population the world over. Played from the first-person, the player apparently takes control of a terrorist gunning down innocent civilians in an indiscriminate attack on a public airport.. As he emerges from an airport elevator with his squad, the terrorists open fire on a group of travellers gathered in the baggage reclaim area.

As the footage continues, the player joins in the attack, turning his machine gun on civilians attempting to pull other injured people away from the carnage and even propelling grenades across the airport concourse.

Michael Jackson new single set to be released

2009-09-15T06:16:00.000-07:00

A secret Michael Jackson single is being produced... and set to be a huge hit.

Jacko recorded the song for release with his planner summer tour.

It was shelved after the 50-year-old singer's death in June but now producers in Los Angeles have remixed the vocals with an orchestral accompaniment.

A record label source said: "It sounds awesome. The size and scope of the orchestra hasn't been seen since Ray Charles recorded Georgia. Everyone expects a huge hit.

"But they're worried about it getting out - they've hired huge bodyguards to stand by the studio door."

The song will promote the Jackson documentary This Is It, in cinemas worldwide next month.

Xbox 720 vs PS4? Not for a while

2009-09-15T05:35:00.000-07:00

As everyone knows, the videogame industry is cyclic. Roughly every five years a new generation of console technology arrives and we dutifully hand over our cash to experience the new visuals and, if we're lucky, the odd innovative new feature.

Today, in the second part of an interview with Develop, the head of Microsoft Game Studios, Phil Spencer, claims that there are no plans for Xbox 360 because Natal will indefinitely expand the lifespan of the current model.

He added"We instead want consumers and developers to know that we are all going to make a huge return on that original investment in the hardware – the one Microsoft made in building it, the one developers made in making games for it, and the investment consumers made in buying the console. In the current climate that's something people are going to appreciate much more."

At the end of last month Rich Hilleman, the chief creative officer of Electronic Arts, gave an interview to tech site Venture Beat, in which he ventured the following very brief prediction below.

"I expect we'll see a PlayStation 3.5 before we see a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox 560 before we see an Xbox 720."

Apple's new iPod Nano is great news for radio – but not for DAB

2009-09-10T05:52:00.000-07:00

Apple's new iPod Nano will include a built-in FM receiver that will allow you to pause and rewind live radio, which is great news for the industry, both commercial and the BBC - but puts another question mark against digital audio broadcasting (DAB).

The new range of iPod Nanos, unveiled by Apple yesterday, will also include a tagging device allowing users to tag a song they like and then preview and purchase it when they sync to iTunes. Marvellous.

Having just invested in an iPhone, I have mixed feelings about this innovation. I'm not going to shell out for a Nano as well, although I can download an app allowing me to listen to some - but not all - of my favourite radio stations on my iPhone.

Why The PS3 Slim Has No Backwards Compatibility

2009-08-28T04:48:00.000-07:00

Most of us has already figured the PS3 Slim will not be backwards compatible with the PS2 but there were many who still had their hopes up from the fact that it has been removed from later models of the Playstation 3.

For most PS3 owners, this probably wouldn’t matter but none-the-less, there are still Sony fans who would be interested in this feature. I, myself enjoy playing old games once in a while, especially if I’m trying to pick up on a new sequel that I’ve never played before but would like to enjoy the previous releases.
