[GamersView]#2 – A pretty unanimous decision…

March 25th, 2010

Pokémon is not just for kids! With a landslide vote of 11 to 0 it’s official that you can never be too old for Pokémon. True that all of these votes were most likely cast by other gamers, and not those who take one look at the box and say ‘Oh that looks so childish’ etc. But hey it’s their fault for not coming to this site and voting.

Can you ever be TOO old for Pokémon?

  • No (100%, 11 Votes)
  • Yes (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Ha! Pokémon is for kids (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 11

[Demo] Just Cause 2 (360/PS3/PC)

March 22nd, 2010

So after a lot of nagging from GeneShark/Tom I decided to have a look at the Just Cause 2 demo, I had a look through the Playstation Store and went to download it. It was at this point I realised I had about 70MB free space on my Harddrive, so I went over to my 360 and downloaded it there.

So when I loaded it up it started going through some intro cut-scene thingy, which I was not paying much attention to because I was too busy talking in our IRC channel (which you should totally join). Without noticing I was then in gameplay, I took a few steps forward then a timer appears in the top-right corner. This was the timer for demo play, it was set to 30 minutes, which I suppose is a reasonable amount of time for a demo.

[Beta] Blur (360/PS3/PC)

March 21st, 2010

Yay, it’s been a while since I got to beta test a game (back to the days of the littlebig planet beta I think). So I was more then excited when a Friend posted a beta code which he couldn’t use due to lack of a 360.

In addition, more recently I have been emailed an additional 3 codes to give out (for being part of the beta) for which I have given out 2. So the first person to ask for one in the comments either here or on TurtleStomp (where this post will also be featured) can have the last code. [UPDATE- Code has now been claimed]

Ok enough talking about beta codes etc, the actual game is a racing game which looks like your average racing game until you find out about the vehicular combat. Yes that’s right vehicular combat, gaining power ups, attacking other racers and leaving hazards on the track.  All the usual stuff you’d expect in games like Crash Team Racing or even Mario Kart. But this game is much more serious and you still need a reasonable amount of racing skill required to win.

[GamersView] #0 – Opinions wanted

January 15th, 2010

This is, but isn’t the first post in a new feature I meant to start a very long while ago. I’m not sure as to when it will start, because a bit like weekly play it relies on YOU!

This Feature takes the polls on the main site (which should now be changing weekly) and looks at what you have said, so as you can probably guess for me to do this, you need to vote.

So far I think the most popular poll got around 7 or 8 votes, and to make this a worthwhile endeavour and get any kind of fairness this number really needs to be doubled.
