With a week to go GRID Autosport gets a new trailer titled, This Is Racing.

20/6/2014

 
Picture
At the recent MCM expo I got a little hands on time with Grid Autosport (which you can read here) and was very impressed with what I saw. The night racing was especially engrossing and challenging.
Now with a week to go for release things are starting to rev up one the starting Grid as a new trailer and Screenshots have been released.
The question about this game is which discipline excites you most  Open-Wheel, Street, Tuner, Endurance or Touring Cars.
The touring cars is the clincher for me but with so many racing types this game can cater for pretty much everyone.

Sponsored Video -  Noah 30 Second Trailer

15/3/2014

 
Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe stars as Noah, a man chosen by God for a great task before an apocalyptic flood destroys the world.
The influences of films can come from many different sources from comics to real life, books to myths and legends. Noah is a film which takes its influence from one of the biggest stories of all time; The great flood from the book of Genesis (chapters 6-9), in which God instructed Noah to create an ark which would be the salvation of the innocent. It is an amazing story whether you literally believe the tale or see it as a metaphor. This, then, is the basis for writers, Ari Handel and Darren Aronofsky (who also directed the film) to create a modern retelling of the flood myth with a new and exciting twist.
The writing team have worked together in the a similar collaboration on 2006’s, The Fountain. Handel was also the executive producer for many of Aronofsky’s films including Oscar winner, Black Swan and The Wrestler. With this in mind we are hoping to get an insightful look at the story which, in itself, is only a very short section of the Bible.  Our director has already described it as the “least biblical film ever made” and this gives the creative team a chance to tell the story in their own way.

Aronofsky has a great deal of talent and the cast that have been assembled to create his vision is no laughing matter. With names that read like a Who’s-Who of Hollywood big hitters including Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Connelly, Frank Langella, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson and Russell Crowe as the lead, we should see a depth to the story not seen before in celluloid. However, the real star of the show seems to be the Ark that was created especially for the film. With immense dimensions comparable to the biblically described vessel, the production team really pushed the boat out to gain an extra level of authenticity.

Noah is looking to be a top runner in the film releases of 2014. It will not be without its critics but art is subjective and we would not have it any other way.

You can find out more about the film at the official website.

Sponsored Video: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare

28/2/2014

 
Popcap are bringing the fun back to the gun with the latest Third Person Shooter based around the Plants Versus Zombies franchise. Keen to emphasize that standard shooters are passé, they have drenched their game in the usual saccharine sweetness associated with the PvZ canon. The visuals look to have the usual honed polish and glitter, but will the gameplay shine through too? With weapons akin to a drunken blend of Borderlands,Team fortress  and Wacky Races this could be a fresh skew on the shooter genre. 
It seems that the zany weapons and madcap characters allow for a younger point of entry to the world of shooter games and actually seems like a clever way to grab a whole new audience who may be less inclined to the RTS style of playing. Popcap have a well known background in terms of producing accessible titles, but with deeper, addictive gameplay. Add to that the trademark humour Popcap are famed for and we could see a refreshing combination of fun and great visuals that could be a tonic for all Titanfall junkies.

With game features that are taking full advantage of the Frostbite 3 engine you will be able play 24 player multiplayer matches, take on the zombie horde with three online friends and, just for extra kicks, take to the Kinect, SmartGlass or even your controller in the all new Boss Mode. Customisation tools help you personalise your plants and zombies, and allow for you to add your own wacky slant to in-game characters.

All in all Garden Warfare could have the potential to go up against the big boys in the race to dominate the Xbox One titles.

Sometimes a game comes along that really intrigues you. It may due to its graphics or story but sometimes mechanics mixed with some pretty dark humour can be the hook. This is what has grabbed me about Life goes on and after watching the trailer below I think you may even think the same way as I do
Now for a few game details.
Game Features:
- 50+ levels of corpse-filled puzzles.
- 12 types of traps to hurl your hapless knights upon.
- Challenge the speed-run times and death-minimums.
- 20 Achievements and hidden bonuses to collect.
- Music by Kevin Greenlee (StarForge).

New Dying Light Trailer Puts Humanity to the Test

11/2/2014

 
Dying Light’s “Humanity” trailer shifts the focus from the infected to the survivors – people who had enough strength and luck to endure the outbreak. Yet, the worst is not over, as in the quarantine zone every day is a struggle and every night is a challenge. Sadly, the human mind can withstand only so much.

In what ways does the quarantine zone influence you? Does killing the infected really leave no trace on your mind? How long can you defend your humanity? What will happen when you eventually break?

They named him Clark Kent, instilling lessons of empathy and compassion. When Clark's amazing powers emerged, the Kent’s revealed the secrets of his origin, spaceship, and his true name, Kal-El. Through the support of his adoptive parents and recorded guidance of his birth parents, Kal-El uses his gift to protect and inspire the people of Earth to greatness.
