Shiny, glorious, bannana dual shock and a certain resemblance to a fat reducing grilling machine? This is the next Gen console

Playstaion 3

The new Playstation is here and rocking the world. The console genually looks amazing despite all the jokes. The games weve seen so far are looking to be of better standard of graphics than that of the arch nemisis X-Box 360. And hand it to Sony, whenever they bring out a new console not only does it last, (the Playstation 2 is over 7 years old!) but it is supremly better than the previous.

Sony claim that the console is better than what they rate as an X-Box 1.5 rather than a next gen console. Hard to comment on it too much though seeing as we have not actually played any game on it yet, or even seen one in action. As always though it is backwards compatible, so you can play all your old stuff on it and it can be used with the PSP. 


The game designers were not impressed by Adams ideas for the new Quakes title..."Quake: in your boots."

Quake 4

Well my friends, Quake returns with a brand new game shown at E3! The games designers have gone severly out of their way to make sure that they bring the best offering of the game yet! They have aimed to make the game more like the 2nd game which people found most enjoyable, whilst also adding the 3rds awesome multiplayer action on x-box live.

One of the project managers also claims that you once again will get to play as one of the aliens! You  can drive some large Mechs if you want which looks cool. Early samples of the game look to be abit slow and jumpy, but its early days yet... 


The new X-Box 360, can this be the one ot topple mighty Sony?

X-Box 360

If Playstation were Jedis then X-Box 360would be the dark side of the force. We dont mean that too sinically though. Microsoft tempt all developers to them  (cough Rare cough) to make games for them, and this pushes the other consoles to make there own games better and newer ones to be greater.

Its rather worrying though that the Playstation has lasted the best part of a decade, whilst X-Box is planning a new console 4 years in. Saying that however we think the X-Box is a great console, maybe not as powerful as the PS3 though. In the console wars PS3 is predicted to win (by us!), although X-Box 360 is released this year and may be able to rack up a following before the PS3 hits the shelf.


PSP

PSP vs DS

Sony make a break for the handheld gaming market next year with the PSP, whilst Nintendo strike back with the two screen DS. Both look fantastic, the PSP has a UMD disk that means that the quality of the games will be great, and the ability to record DVDs etc onto it is a real bonus. Metal Gear and Tony Hawk titles have allready been confirmed. The DS has two screens and expect the usual melee of nintendo licenced characters to be there. The battery lasts a longer than the PSP which is a bonus. The PSP's graphics look amazing, and we can't tell which will do better. However if push comes to shove my moneys on PSP


Theres gonna be a new Soul Calibar baby!!!

Soul Calibar 3

Everyones favourite beat-um up is back. With more dazzling moves, characters and weapons than you can shake a stick at. The games an exclusive for PS2 owners were afraid.

This time around you can design your own fighter (plus the other 25+ originals) so you can create your own angel of death. This time around you have to capture a new sword, a mixture of the soul calibar and soul edge. We cannot wait for this one to come out!

 

 

 


Lara's back, expect shorter shorts from our original heroine

Tomb Raider

Well Lara Croft is back, and for some reason we are quite optimistic. After the last outing we really wanted to hate the new incarnation of the game, however its being produced and made by some new guys this time, who hopefully can save the series from becoming the next sell-out (or has that moment long past).

Expect some new moves and sharper graphics. Also weve seen that a new zip-line based travelling system is in the game. It plays well sofare and it seems that Lara has found her way again.

 


Hitman Blood Money

Hitman: Blood Money

Agent 47 returns with Hitman Blood Money this year and it looks to be a significant improvement on the last good (but not great) title that hit our consoles last year.

You gain money this time when you assasinate your targets, and the more silent you are the more money you get. The money can be used to buy weapon upgrades and bribes.

Also there will be several new ways to kill people to make it appear as an 'accident'.


Burnout 4

Burnout 4 pictures have arrived at last! The new game Burnout Revenge looks to have more realistic graphics but still have the same fun value that Takedown had. We hope to god though that the boring and hideously annoying Striker the radio DJ will be gone from this one. We havn't been able to play the game yet and so can't really say how good it is from just pictures. 

Still looking towards a 2005 release date but as always we wouldn't hold our breathe if we were you. 

More news soon.

 


Dante is back and were loving it!

Devil May Cry 3

After the DMC2 failed to win over our hearts Dante is back to recapture the glory of the first game . The game is set before the first two, and pits Dante up against his demon brother Virgil (nano guy from DMC). The game goes back to what it does best, show off. Dante has some cool new moves, and can swing on pole dancing bars and choose from several fighting styles.

The game lacks some of the big moves from games 1 and 2 as its set earlier, but this is well worth getting. Try it on hard mode though! This game really ius rock solid but is well worth finishing.


Link is coming on a secret mission to save Gamecube, well its about time too! What took you so long? Out later this year

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Well after a gruelling 2 hour wait to play this game at E3 we finally have played a copy of the newest Zelda. And ohhhhh yessss! This looks very promising indeed and alot more like the previous incarnations rather than Wind Waker. The graphics are more realistic due to the more adult link, and one of the best features is that you can turn into a wolf (or at least it looks like one) in sections, and the horses return for a few rides. Yay! This game looks to be Gameubes defining title, and seriously we hope it shifts some more consoles cos there are some great Cube games out their.
