GamingShogunLe Tour de France Coming to Consoles
Cycling enthusiasts take note, Cyanide Studios and Focus Home Interactive have announced that they will be bringing their cycling simulation, Le Tour de France, to consoles this Summer on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Patrick Pligersdorffer, CEO of Cyanide says, “It’s been a long time that we (at Cyanide) have been thinking of a cycling game especially designed for home consoles. We could not adapt on consoles what perfectly works on PC with Pro Cycling Manager, so we worked on different prototypes before arriving at a satisfying result last year. Tour de France is the first important step…

Duke Nukem Forever Review (PC)
Duke Nukem Forever starts off 12 years after the events of Duke Nukem 3D – which, in case you have been living under a rock and did not know, also came out 12 years ago. Duke has basically become the king of Las Vegas after single-handedly stopping an alien invasion of the planet. Unfortunately, the aliens are back and Duke is called upon once again to stop them. STOP here if you are looking for anymore story, serious Modern Warfare-esque undertones, or deep meaning. Duke Nukem Forever is a misogynistic, raunchy, fun-filled game full of alien-blasting and boobs (both human…

Duke Nukem Forever PR Controversy
Ars Technica reported early this morning that PR agency The Redner Group (who was in charge of DNF PR) posted up a rather threatening tweet on their official Twitter account in response to some of the reviews that Duke Nukem Forever has been receiving (our review is coming out tomorrow, just FYI, as the PC build was not able to be played early). This tweet has since been deleted from their Twitter account. In response, 2K Games has apparently stopped doing business with the PR agency, as per this official tweet from the game publisher/developer: 2K Games does not endorse…

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission E3 2011 Preview
One of my personal gems of this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo was Bohemia Interactive’s upcoming Carrier Command: Gaea Mission. The game is a re-imagining of the classic Amiga game where players take on the role of the commander of a battlecruiser complete with aircraft, landing craft, and an arsenal of offensive missiles and defensive turrets. The goal: Destroy the OTHER battlecruiser sailing the seas by way of force and controlling various islands to grant bonuses and provide industrial support. The game features some very pretty visuals and commanding from the ship’s CIC, you can see crew members working in the…
Crimson Alliance E3 2011 Hands-On
While at this year’s E3 expo, I was fortunate enough to take an appointment to checkout Certain Affinity’s upcoming XBLA hack and slash title, Crimson Alliance. Crimson Alliance allows up to four players to fight hordes of evil creatures across various fantasy environments. Players choose from three character classes: Mercenary, Assassin, and Wizard – each with their own special attacks and abilities. Additional character classes are a possibility after launch. In the level I was able to play with the developers, I chose the warrior-like Mercenary class while the developer played as a Wizard. We began moving throughout the beautifully-detailed environments,…
Infamous 2 Review (PS3)
Infamous 2 by Sucker Punch and Sony is an interesting beast to say the least. Going back in time a bit I wasn’t a huge fan of the original game. I felt the story was a little bland and the camera issues simply killed the game for me. I walked into the world of Infamous 2 with a little bit of hesitation but my gut feeling said to give this game a chance. I am glad I did because Infamous 2 is a whole different beast from the first game. In a time where the Playstation needs iconic characters, Cole…
Hamilton’s Great Adventure – A Review (PC)
Fatshark follows up their release of Lead and Gold with a new puzzle game named Hamilton’s Great Adventure. Hamilton’s Great Adventure tells the tale of Ernest Hamilton, a overweight Indiana Jones look-a-like, as he scours ancient civilizations for treasure while avoiding Lovecraft Cthulu rejects. While the aesthetics and puzzles were very interesting, the story and use of other peoples’s character ideas just made the game itself fall flat. Let’s get into the details of Hamilton’s Great Adventure. Story: Hamilton’s Great Adventure is told through a series of flashbacks as Ernest Hamilton tells his granddaughter about his past exploits. These exploits…

Hacker Group LulzSec Attacks EVE Online, Others
Hacker group LulzSec has announced it has attacked EVE Online’s Tranquility server, Minecraft’s multiplayer services, Riot Game’s League of Legends servers, and the Escapist Magazine’s website. The four distributed denial-of-service attacks appear to have been successful, as EVE Online is still down. You can read CCP Games’ official statement on the attack after the break! Perhaps they are upset that DUST 514 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive? Via: Joystiq
