Alien vs Predator Species Deathmatch Trailer

by

Yet another trailer for the upcoming Alien vs Predator game! This time featuring the species death match mode where you will select either alien, predator or marine and join a team of the same species and duke it out with opposing species!

This mode was the bread and butter of the old AvP games if you ask me, great fun!

I’ve seen some very mixed reviews coming in for AvP, some love it and some hate it! I’ve played the demo and found it very fun… One of my close friends absolutely loves it. What is your opinion?

Also worth noting is that I saw a commercial for this game last night after the Brit Awards on ITV1.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 video leaks

by

Well there you go! A leaked off screen video of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’. You can clearly see four levels, Splash Hill Zone, Lost Labyrinth Zone, Casino Street Zone, Mad Gear Zone not to mention a special stage. Each seem to have three acts and a boss battle.

Four Zones with Three levels each and one boss means twelve levels in total, four bosses and a special stage. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fifth final zone.  At the right price I think that’s a good amount of content for a downloadable game.

As for impressions,

by

SEGA has trademarked “Drama Engine” for both North America and Europe, it will be used for video games and also for 3D computer graphic software and facial motion capture software. What is it?

Well one would guess is that its some sort of middleware? Some people think it might have something to do with SEGA’s facial imagining game Project Beauty for the NDS. Hard to know what it is really, any guesses here?

Aliens vs Predator demo gets 14k downloads on Xbox Live

by

The multiplayer demo of Aliens vs Predator has been downloaded over 14,000 times over the weekend on Xbox Live. It is not all sunny news, since the PC version has recently patched a matchmaking bug, the Playstation 3 version is set to get a demo patch as well, according to Rebellion. They also say they are “really sorry”. Kind of hard to drop 60 bucks on a game when the demo is broken.

“Just looking at how the demo’s been rated on Xbox Live tells its own story – 14,000 downloads in a few days and an approval rating of 4.5/5, we’re absolutely delighted with the response….The one unforeseen issue was the matchmaking on PS3, that really came out of left field and we’ve still got Sony engineers helping us look into what is at fault. I understand why people question how it wasn’t spotted sooner but we just can’t replicate that kind of scale in normal testing.”

Very interesting. I expect Aliens vs Predator to do very well on the Xbox 360 and PC; should do alright on Playstation 3. Early reviews have been harsh and I hope bigger sites like IGN and 1up give out more informative and unbiased reviews. We shall post our review up when it launches.

SEGA All-Stars Racing Demo is up! (XBLA)

by

The Sonic & SEGA Allstar Raing demo has finally gone up! I am currently downloading the Xbox360 version which is 1.03GB. Rumour has it that on the Xbox360 version there are two playable characters, Sonic and Banjo.
(Apparently the demo is only open to people with gold accounts.)

The PS3 version it is not up yet, It will probably be up this Thursday (11th) when PSN is updated.

Join Sonic and his Sega friends in the race of your life. Dodge weapons, perform tricks and drifts, seek short cuts and look out for that elusive all-star move pick-up as you blast past your rivals in to pole position. Winning has never tasted so sweet!

I know what I’m going to be doing today!
