First screens for The Ballad of Gay Tony go airborne

August 29th, 2009 at 06:30pm Under Xbox 360

Earlier today, Rockstar Games released its first volley of screens for upcoming GTA IV expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony. From what we can see in the four images — handed “exclusively to fan sites,” according to the Rockstar Games website — it appears as though air-based warfare will be the focus this time around.

Eagle-eyed fans will also notice that the protagonist is wearing the same letterman jacket found in the teaser image Rockstar released last week for the game’s second DLC, still scheduled to arrive this Winter, further confirming his main characteriness. All will be revealed this Tuesday we hope, with the arrival of the first trailer (and hopefully some new media alongside that). For the time being, peep all four images right here.

IGN shows us Milo’s future

July 4th, 2009 at 12:45am Under Xbox 360

Concept and execution are two totally different worlds. Although the concept and initial presentation of Lionhead Studios’ Milo blew everyone away at E3 2009, what does fate have in store for the little digital boy’s longterm execution? IGN attempts to answer that question in a little sketch they put together. We all know Milo will lose his innocence once he’s in the hands of normal people, but just how bad will it become? Check out the video after the break.

Metareview: The Conduit (Wii)

June 24th, 2009 at 02:31pm Under Wii / Nintendo

While you’re patiently waiting for the end of the week so you can cash that paycheck and pick up High Voltage Software’s The Conduit for your Nintendo Wii, why not take a gander at what the rest of the interweb had to say about the game? Considering the lack of correlation between Metacritic scores and the sales numbers of Wii games, though — at least according to Peter Moore — you probably shouldn’t let these numbers get to you too much.

GamePro (70): “The Conduit is the closest you will get to recapturing the magic of Goldeneye … To be blunt, The Conduit is a by the numbers shooter that offers a couple of thrills but ultimately doesn’t make much of an impact … anyone who loved Goldeneye will want to give a look as well if only to get a nice dose of nostalgia, but the rest of you shouldn’t feel a need to abandon your favorite next-gen shooter for this one.”
GamesRadar (80): “The Conduit is fun, controls well, and is, at times, quite beautiful … Both humans and alien drones are animated with competent physics and personality that puts High Voltage Software’s Quantum3 engine outside the realm of the “GameCube 1.5″ criticisms … The truth is you probably wouldn’t bat an eye at The Conduit had it appeared on PC, PS3 or Xbox 360 … The solid, yet unremarkable single-player won’t win any awards, but The Conduit still features the most finely honed online outings available on Wii.”
IGN (86): “The Conduit is not a revolutionary first-person shooter, but it’s a damned good one … the title features the tightest, most comfortable control scheme of any console-based first-person shooter to date … The Conduit features a robust list of modes and maps to play online and nearly 20 weapons to use as you rip through arenas blasting foes … it’s not revolutionary, but The Conduit is a great first-person shooter designed just for Wii owners.”
