I really got to get this entries moving along. 2 down 8 more to go!
Next title is none other then…
Ninja Gaiden II

Sigh. All that blood but none from me.
If given the opportunity to really get my hands dirty, I’d really like to ripe this game apart and tell you head to toes how and what makes it bleed. But, hey, boohoo for me. At least I had the opportunity to sit back, relax, and watch the presenter work the blades?

Here’s another take at the Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008.

Title no. 2 (out of the 10 that I’ve promised) is…

Taking the fear to a whole new level, and giving more gory zombie slasher survival thriller goodness, the next gen Alone in the Dark features the macabre style of the series played with new gameplay mechanics and a broader-reaching, action-packed play style. Explore fully-interactive real-time worlds, interacting with physics and roaming the wide-open, fright-filled environments.

The Playstation 3 is getting a Firmware update, which is no doubt a good thing, I think.

The update is slated for next week, and SCEA has some details of what the firmware entails.
For all you audiophiles out there, you are going to love this. DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio are being added to the Playstation 3. In other words, this will allow you to have the full high definition Blu-Ray experience.
If you have 7.1 surround sound system you are going to absolutely love this “patch” (so to …

Not much of an “exclusive” by now. Since almost ever other gaming site/blog out there has probably already put up the trailer.
Anyhow.
By now I hope you’ve had a chance to check out our most recent Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Now comes the so-called “exclusive” teaser trailer for Resistance 2 from Sony and of course, Insomniac.
As with most teaser trailers, it doesn’t give too much away, but it gives you a good idea of where Insomniac are going with the game. Huge environments, big battles, things exploding. You get the …

I know I haven’t been updating much lately, exams were in place. But now, since my exams are over and I’m back in action (so to speak) yet again!
Anyhow.
After attending Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008 (3 days before my first paper), I feel the whole gaming spirit in me suddenly rushing out for some air.
We were given a sneak peek at 10 upcoming titles on the Xbox 360, and I’ve have to say that most, if not all, of them look delicious …

It’s been a long time coming, but the Space Invaders are about to have their day. So says Chris Kohler.
At a press conference in Japan, Taito, a subsidiary of Square Enix, announced that you’ll be able to control gaming’s most iconographic pixelized aliens in Space Invaders Get Even: Counterattack of the Space Invaders, coming later this year for Wii.

Susan Arendt “reports”:
EA’s Travis Boatman certainly caught our attention this morning when he gave a brief demo of an apparently complete version of Spore running on an iPhone.
FYI: It’s Spore not S’pore.

I was reading Game|Life and caught a glimpse of their well-recommended adventure game Zack & Wiki for the Wii.

Apparently, Game|Life is a big fan of Zack & Wiki and are doing their best to get everyone else to play it.
Capcom, a bit belatedly, perhaps, has finally caught up and made a demo of one of the game’s levels available online.
I guess I would consider myself as a fan of Game|Life, and since the demo is playable on PC (I don’t have a Wii to begin with), I decided to give …
