To brighten your day, I’ve a snippet of news that will cheer up even the grumpiest of grumps. The 1UP Cosplay Gallery from Pax East 2011 has gone live and boy are you in for a treat. I love Cosplay. It’s a niche only we as gamers could possibly begin to understand. I’d never do it …
Listen. Can you hear it? Those faint whispers? They’re the faint whispers about a new generation of home games consoles. Whispers that are starting to become steadily more audible; driven by rumor, speculation and internet job postings. When people start to talk about such matters, conversation often moves swiftly on to guessing what features the eventual …
Following on from yesterday’s decision to delay this week’s launch of Motorstorm Apocalypse in Japan, Sony have today also announced their decision to postpone the games release beyond its scheduled Friday launch in the UK.
There were raised eyebrows when ArenaNet first cited Team Fortress 2 as a point of reference for elements of Guild Wars 2’s Player versus Player combat.
