LucasArts & BioWare Together Again

October 31st 2007 08:24

It's all about the RPG's for Bioware, and now they have yet another project to add to the growing pile. What makes this new announcement so interesting is who they're working with.

Having joined the Electronic Arts stable just days ago, BW's next partner is none other then LucasArts, an old friend who politely lent the Star Wars license a few years back for the highly rated Knights of the Old Republic. Straight away, thoughts of the much anticipated third title in the series sprung to mind, but there seems to be just a little bit more to this story then first suggested

The R18 Rating Fiasco

October 30th 2007 10:31

So I was reading through the orble community, as I always do, and my good friends over at VideoGames.net.au (ok, they aren't my good friends, but I can hope, right?) brought up the following question: When will the Australian censors bring in the R18 classification for games?

This, dear readers, has become one hell of a fiasco for the Australian gaming community over the years, when you consider we're one of only a few countries (if that) to have a constant flow of game bans, for various reasons or another

Guitar Hero vs Rock Band Round 1

October 29th 2007 10:32

It's arguably one of the more interesting up and coming contests in the gaming industry. Guitar Hero, now a long standing and successful music franchise entering a new age in more ways then one, and Rock Band, which aims to take everything learnt from the GH series and turn it upside down.
Over the coming months, between the release Guitar Hero III next week (woot!) and Rock Band early next year (not so woot, impatient as I am), I'm goning take a wonder through some of the more interesting aspects of this slowly brewing rivalry for gamers wallets, and to find out once and for all who is the true king of the plastic musical instrument wars...

Will Wright 'Wii the true next gen'

October 29th 2007 10:05

You've all played the Sims, yes? Sim City? How about Streets of Sim City? Man, that was a game. No really, it was ... just a bad one.

Anyway, the man behind the long standing Sims franchise and the soon to be released Spore (more on that later) was recently interviewed in the UK Guardian newspaper. The good news is, at least from the perspective of any Nintendo fans out there, Will is an avid player of the Wii. What's more interesting, however, is the following statement

Modern Games are Unadulterated Trash?

October 25th 2007 10:52

So according to Nolan Bushnell [founder of Atari and an experienced veteran of the gaming world], today's top selling, expensive titles are nothing more then 'pure, unadulterated trash.' Harsh words?

The interview on Electronic Design goes on to explain Nolan's vision of the current industry, and the future he wishes to push, quote: "A lot of video games today are very isolated. You don't see mom and dad, sister and brother, sitting down like they used to play, say, Monopoly

Game of the Week: October 22 - 26 ... Orange Week

October 25th 2007 10:28

Halo 3 has held its place at the top of the charts for long enough, so suggests the Game of the Week, Valve's Half Life 2: Orange Box. And what a box ...

For an RRP of $99.95 (cheaper if you hunt around, hint hint, JB), you'll not only be playing the award winning Half Life 2 and it's Chapter 1 expansion set, but the brand new second chapter in a planned trilogy of updates to the single player campaign. It's easy to say it's just 'more of the same', but the second chapter promises to delve even further into the mythology of the story, as well as providing some graphical tweaks
