Lets get this out the way first. Under no circumstance is piracy forgiveable. The fact that people profit or manipulate someone else’s product, creative work etc for what is essentially theft is wrong. In this modern age where the internet is host to various manipulations and various forms of piracy theft, it seems right to regulate [...]

UNCHARTED 3:DRAKE’S DECEPTION
PLAYSTATION 3
NOVEMBER 2011
To define and refine are two conceptual meanings that can be rightfully applied to Uncharted. Define- Uncharted is an explosive cinematic game with riveting set-pieces combining that with 3rd person cover shooting gameplay. That is Uncharted as a whole though as defining the third entry into the critically acclaimed trilogy is complex. Refine- [...]

DEATH OF CONSOLE GAMING
In tragic news, the latest Call of Duty sold a meagre 100,000 units upon release continuing the year on year decline of the franchise for the past 10 years. Is that statement believable? Is it a possibility? Personally that statement at this moment in time is laughable and speculative considering that the [...]

2012 is here. Drinks were downed while fireworks were being prepared to create a show in the sky. Memories were present while the people who have left have gone but not been forgotten.

Have no fear [...]

As with each passing year, gaming brings with it a catalogue of stellar and quality titles. There is no doubting that 2012 will follow in 2011’s footsteps as a prolific year but what titles are worth buying? What titles will be the commercial and critical winners among the masses? With the year upon us lets [...]

Christmas brings the best and the worst out of consumer buying. People will generally go out, venture into the local city-centre and buy what they require. Clothes, music etc- there just are somethings that are not worth buying as they co-exist in a juxtaposition with essential purchases. It is no different with games. Despite some [...]

Ahh the end of year time…so much to buy for friends, family and loved ones. What off the lazy days at home when the snow is thick and the cold air is blistering? What of your games machine-will it get some attention over the holidays as something for yourself? Well guys and girls this article [...]

The final part of this series of articles looking at both mediums will focus on how the production values can result in a largely better product and field for development. Production in cinema has been nothing short of expansive as well as expensive however this is largely compensated for by the mass revenue that ensues. [...]
