Hands-On: The Sony Blue Truck Extravaganza (PS3)

Hands-On: The Sony Blue Truck Extravaganza (PS3)

It’s not often that I get to do stuff that not many people have done in terms of gaming, but to say I got a privileged look at a few of the big things coming from Sony over the next 6 months would be a rather big understatement.

Hidden within the confines of a rather big blue truck (with what has to be the SLOWEST automatic doors in the whole history of non-manual entry and exiting systems) were a nice little plethora of forthcoming games from the PlayStation makers. Move was there again to tease us with its intricacies, as well as a pre-alpha code version of Killzone 3 and a sneak peek at both Gran Turismo 5 and MotorStorm: Apocalypse. The only problem I have now is to work out where to start.

Review: Monday Night Combat (Xbox 360)

Review: Monday Night Combat (Xbox 360)

THIS MONDAY NIGHT COMBAT REVIEW IS BROUGHT TO YOU LIVE, TONIGHT, FROM MY FINGERS! Yes, I may be a little addicted to the bold, bright, somewhat over the top presentation of this game, but it does invade every facet of your senses. Bright oranges, blues and reds make up most of the game, with cartoon robots and combatants that look like a Nicktoons version of Team Fortress 2. Booming audio slaps itself into your eardrums, with the classically cheesy American announcer bursting through the cheers and jeers from the out of sight audience.

Although bright and “cartoon” in design, it’s a very tactical game, combing elements of the tower defence and first-person shooter genres. You have to stop waves of bots from breaching your defence and destroying your prized Money Ball – and thus your characters payment. You can play from a number of different classes – Assault, Tank, Support, Assassin, Gunner and Sniper – each one with a fairly obvious role, especially if you have played the aforementioned TF2.

Hands-On: Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2 (Xbox 360)

Hands-On: Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2 (Xbox 360)

Tom Clancy’s branding has brought us many different flavours of terrorist killing fun in the past decade, from the sneaky antics of Sam Fischer in the Splinter Cell series to the squad based combat of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. With a history stretching back to the original Rainbow Six games (which some would claim are much more tactically minded than recent affairs) it’s fair to say that the Clancy brand has the tactical squad gaming market wrapped up in a neat little bow. Last year, the brand took a new direction with the release of HAWX on consoles and PC, bringing the same anal attention to detail over technical specs to the world of air combat.
