ButtonMasher Podcast #84

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

If the last few podcasts have been a little too long then this one is probably just about right for you. Void of any real content, except for me trying to Vuvuzelerize the ButtonMasher Podcast experience.

It makes real music, it’s also the lead, and only instrument in the ButtonMasher marching band.

Demon’s Souls (PS3)

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Tutorial, what tutorial?

Reminding me of a game from an older generation ‘Severance Blades of Darkness’ this is a game I was sadly unaware of, yes it may have been doing the rounds outside of our territory for some time now, but sometimes ignorance can be bliss especially once the hype train has come and gone. With a learning curve steeper than the North face of The Eiger,  does Demon’s Souls deliver a fresh and invigorating take on the Action RPG or has it gone a touch too far?

ButtonMasher Podcast #83

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

I’m not sure if Billy Ray is a protective father, the impression I get from the media is that he isn’t, but they probably don’t report on the mysterious disappearances of people that try to make moves on young Miley. So given that this might well be GaR’s last podcast before he makes an unannounced exit, you better enjoy it while you can.

InFAMOUS 2 Looks Pretty Amazing

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

infamous2

It’s as if Sucker Punch has taken a few cinematic cues from Naughty Dog, in the first gameplay reveal of InFAMOUS 2 – explosions and collapsing buildings aplenty. A new face, a new voice, but this is still the same Cole-with-lightning-in-his-hands-MacGrath.

Strangely no sight of the ice powers that were hinted at in the E3 trailer. But if this video is any indication, InFAMOUS 2 is going to be a bigger and better sequel.

Meet Your British Robot Pal in Portal 2

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

UPDATE: Four new videos added.
Valve are teasing some gameplay videos of Portal 2. Feast your eyes on the puzzly goodness after the break. With all new gadgets & chemicals, it’s enough to make your head spin.

In the first video meet your new British friend, Wheatley. He doesn’t sound as robotic as GLaDOS and he’s a lot more charming. I guess technology has developed somewhat since you’ve been away.

Split/Second Review (PS3)

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

You may not have heard of Black Rock Studios before but they’ve been around a while, had a name change or two and have created a handful of racing games including 2008’s quad bike blast of fun, Pure. If you still don’t recognise the name and merely know of Split/Second from the demo that released earlier in the year, you will be excused for thinking they were the guys behind the Burnout series. In fact, it’s hard to ignore the similarities. Is that a bad thing or have Black Rock Studios stumbled upon their best idea yet?

Medal of Honor Beta Impressions

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

War games. We revel in their bloody battles. Forget the whole videogame violence debacle, but what does war say about us as people? The classic war quotes shown in Modern Warfare tell us how pointless and extravagant war is,  but that’s usually as far as the deep thought goes. I can’t help but feel simulations might be disrespectful to those in real turmoil.  I don’t believe that war is the answer to solving the world’s problems, but there is something unexplainable about shooting virtual baddies into the dust. Though how many more times can we repeatedly do this, is yet another question.
