A Fading Future for Game Consoles

snes

Many of us value the precious moments in receiving a brand new product. Perhaps some of us can remember the times we have opened new video game boxes and lavished the scent of a brand new game and cheering within ourselves that it is finally in our possession. Overtime, in the efforts to improve and [...]




E3 2012 Trailer Madness

What’s going on everyone.  E3 is but a few days away and what better way to get jazzed for the mecca of all gaming events than to check out some footage for your most anticipated games.  Embedded in this article you will find a slew of trailers (some E3 ones some not) for the hottest [...]




Iron Man Mode Makes Money For Charity

Ironmanmode

One life, no more, no less. That’s what Iron Man Mode is all about. Gamers (and sometimes comedians) playing a whole bunch of games with only one life. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Could you imagine playing the rock hard Dead Island with only one life? do you think you can smash Half Life with only [...]




Seven Movies That Should Be Games

gran-torino

What if games developers opened their minds and chose the right movies? Read on. Game movies suck. There’s just no getting around it, they really, truly suck. Near enough the only game movie I’ve ever been able to just about tolerate was the first Tomb Raider, and even that was preposterous. You’ve got to look [...]




Top Ten Forgotten Video Game Music

Videogame_music

With the advent of CD into the gaming medium of choice, it offered developers the chance to really flex their musical muscles. Composers could bring full musical soundtracks to their games thanks to the extra storage the CD offered and it has given rise to some truly epic video game music. But, what about before [...]




Hardware Review: Gametel Bluetooth Joypad

Gametel controller with iPhone

The rise of mobile gaming has been the most significant change to the industry since Nintendo handed us a white plastic stick and told us to wave it about like a fool. The ubiquity and relative cheapness compounded with the fact that almost all of us have a device already capable of playing games has [...]




London Games Festival Returning To The Capital This Year

londongamesfestival

  The London Games Festival is returning to, um, well London this year hoping to be bigger and better than the previous festival. The last London Games Festival in 2010 saw over 75,000 individuals attend 26 separate events, and will be directed once again by Kirsty Payne. “London Games Festival is a real focus for Ukie [...]




SoulCalibur V Review

SoulCaliburV-Small

Wonderful as they are, if there’s one thing that Street Fighter and Tekken have always lacked, it’s the ability to whack your opponent around the face with a bloody great stick. While there have been an ample number of weapons-based fighting games, Namco’s SoulCalibur is the undoubted daddy – and with beautiful graphics, fluid fighting [...]




Jay Ward Interview – Pixar Guru Talks Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure

Jay Ward - Kinect Rush - Disney Pixar

When HeyUGuys met Jay Ward, it was a bit of a ‘HOLYCHUFF I’MLIVINGOUTONEOFMYDREAMS’ life moment. For the sake of our professionalism (and a restraining order), we didn’t quite let-on how excited we were, but I have always wanted to meet someone from Pixar who worked on some of our favourite films. So we were more [...]

BAFTA Gaming Awards Logo

Last week was all about the movie awards but now BAFTA keep up the momentum by announcing the nominations for the 2012 Video Game Awards. Batman: Arkham City and L.A. Noire come in strong but we’ve got the full list for you below. Let us know in the comments section below which you want to [...]




Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Final Fantasy, eh? Die-hard fans are nigh-on rabid supporters, while RPG virgins are understandably terrified by the prospect of jumping aboard a franchise with over 40 games to its name. Either way, despite aiming for somewhere in the middle, Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t quite what everyone was expecting. A far more linear affair than anything [...]




New Aliens: Colonial Marines Trailer Promises Flamethrowing Fun

Aliens Colonial Marines

The Alien games have had somewhat of an iffy legacy. So we’re trying not to get too excited about Aliens: Colinial Marines. But then SEGA go and release trailers like this. The bleeping! The scuttling! The acid! The flamethrowers! We pretty much wet ourselves.




Saints Row: The Third XBox360 Review

Saints Row The Third

If there is one thing developers Volition know, it’s their market. From the billboards of sexy ladies and ridiculously giant cat-headed bazooka-wielders, through to its surreal, looneytoon commercials starring cult comedians Tim & Eric, Saints Row: The Third has a humour and appeal aimed squarely at both the immature and the immature at heart. Luckily [...]




Playstation Vita Release Dated & Priced

Playstation Vita

Sony have finally announced a release date and RRP for its soon-to-be-awesome new handheld system, the PS Vita. And we won’t have to wait that much longer, as it’s set for a 22nd February 2012 release. There will be two versions of the console available on launch – a Wi-Fi model for £229.99 and a [...]




Dead Island Review

Dead Island

It’s not often that a trailer stops you in your tracks. Less so, a game one. Yet Dead Island’s Memento-esque first trailer, released way back in February, was so artfully, beautifully put together, it created a ridiculous level of hype for the game itself. Which was all the more impressive considering that at the time [...]




Gears of War 3 Review

Gears of War 3

Less than an hour into Gears of War 3 and I was confronted with what could loosely be described as the game’s first puzzle. Ordered to move a crate to access the lever behind, I used my conventional videogame logic to hunt for hidden switches, on-screen prompts to push the box, and even tried clambering [...]
