Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II Launch
Ghost Recon Alpha Live Action Movie
We have seen previous live action shorts being used to help advertise games just prior to launch with Halo and Assassins Creed being prime examples of how best to sell an upcomming title.
Ubisoft have once again returned to the film making industry to bring Ghost Recon Alpha, a movie short set as a prequel to the soon to be released Future Soldier game. The short is set to demonstrate all the little features that the Ghosts are set to be able to...
Inversion preview
Inversion is a game that few people I speak to have heard or know much about, but I have no doubt that this will all change in the coming weeks when the amazing shooter hits consoles with a gravity-defying bang!
Going back to play Inversion for a second time led to me falling in love with the game all over again. The single player story sees aliens (at least I assume they’re aliens) known as the Lutadores invade the city and take over with their...
Fist Puncher Preview
Indie game developers Team2Bit, winners of IGN‘s The Next Game Boss, recently finished their Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the development of their new game Fist Puncher for PC and Xbox Live Indie Games. The game is a “retro-styled, side scrolling beat ‘em up” in which players control one of a team of vigilantes to get through a series of levels by punching, kicking, using special attacks and utilising weapons dropped...
Washington’s Wig Review
For what initially seemed a very simple game, a single button game with a single main mechanic, Washington’s Wig has a surprising amount of depth and humour that really helps keep it fresh.
Coming from Team2Bit, who we recently interviewed here on MCM Buzz, Washington’s Wig was the winning game in IGN’s The Next Game Boss video game development talent competition. Teams of game developers were challenged to create a playable game...

The 18 track album starts off with a huge...
Interview with Developer Experimental Gamer (Updated)
As a long time fan of retro Nintendo RPGs I’ve often wondered why more genres never got the Japanese style RPG treatment. One of the genres I had long given up hope of seeing made into an RPG was the Wild West genre. I have been lucky enough to interview Ben Rubach and Dave Welch from Experimental Gamer, developers of the newly announced Wild West RPG Boot Hill Heroes. We discussed Kickstarter, what makes their campaign different, their inspirations...
Zombies come from Rotten World in Japanese Story Trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw
Following on from the action trailer released by Kadokawa Games a few weeks back, there now comes another Japanese promotional trailer centred on something that many might have forgotten was even in the game; the story.
Somehow a place known as the Rotten World is blown apart from the outside, causing a gateway to Earth that brings in hoards of the undead, kind of implying that the Earth is somehow responsible. As well as featuring zombie hunter...
