• Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets fired from Ubisoft

• eddiehitler 07/05/2013

  I saw this coming when to my surprise desilets team was bought by Ubisoft during the THQs bankruptcy sale.
  
  Ubi's really getting on my wick with this bull, the delay of rayman, the raping of assassins creed, the lack of release date for South Park The Stick of Truth even though it was due in march under THQ, letting Michael Ironside go as Sam Fisher and now firing desilet.
  
  Its a good job they make games as good as Far Cry 3. Reply +7

  After shattered memories I'm really looking forward to climax's next title as it was an intelligent and well made game, the best non team-silent silent hill by far Reply 0

• Next Xbox won't be backwards-compatible, report says

• eddiehitler 09/04/2013

  No back compat = no purchase from me as I've bought over 100 Xbox live games in the past 7 or so years and they are tied to my live account.
  when my 360 dies what will happen to them when ms does what the did with the original Xbox and turn its Xbox live connection off? Reply +1

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted vs. PlayStation Vita

• eddiehitler 17/03/2013

  @easter I thought that till I played Golden Abyss and Assassins Creed Liberation which try to play to the platforms strengths and come off as the equivalent of a straight to dvd spin off/ sequel for games.
  
  It's a feeling I had with PSP games like GTA Liberty City Stories, GOW Chains of Olympus and Gran Turismo. I had more fun playing full fat PS1 games on it like Resi 2 and 3, Metal Gear Solid and Command and Conquer.
  
  Its not a slight against the Vita's games as they are very good, but I found the experience underwhelming because of that DTV feel. Reply 0

  Devs need to take a look at most wanted and realise that THIS is what we we're sold the Vita on, full fat games on the go with little gameplay compromise from its home console version.
  For example where's a Vita version of say Metal Gear Rising, Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider etc? We know that they're possible thanks to NFS and other home console ports like Mortal Kombat and Sonic and Allstars Racing Transformed, so why can't we have a portable version of the latest games?

  @null Yeh your right he was, I just couldnt remember how to spell his name lol.
  
  He was very good though and made his end more satisfying than it may overwise have been. Reply 0

• eddiehitler 17/03/2013

  What helped the game for me was the astonishing presentation with the games visuals being up there with high end games like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 and also having decent voice acting from the likenesses of Vin Diesel, Cole Hauser and Ron Pearlman.
  
  Still love the games shotgun too :D Reply +10

• Hell Yeah! developer Arkedo Studio disbands

• eddiehitler 23/02/2013

  Hell yeah was easily one of my favourite games of last year and while arkedo shutting down sucks at least it looks like they did it on their own terms and that we'll still be getting game from their creative talent.
  
  By the way my favourite kill.in hell yeah was the t-rex :) Reply +2

• Aliens: Colonial Marines review

• eddiehitler 12/02/2013

  I'm playing it at the moment and I'd give it an 8 as it looks mostly fantastic throughout and the shooting is meaty in a way that I've not seen in fps' for a good long while. Its going to be one of my favourite experiences of the year thus far with the great atmosphere, memorable levels and the fact that they bothered to put lance henriksen and Michael beihn in there.
  
  Also eurogamer, how can you say this is on par with duke nukem forever which you also gave 3? Reply -11

• Wreck-It Ralph movie review

• eddiehitler 08/02/2013

  I saw it at an unlimited preview at cineworld and I have to say its the best animated film since last years The Pirates!
  It was very well scripted, acted and looks beautiful, its well worth a watch Reply +1

  We could go on forever about who did what first but it terms of dual screen gaming the first real foray into it wad the Dreamcast with its vmu's.
  
  While we're at it the waggle trend the Wii popularised was also present back then thanks to the fishing rod, don't believe me?

• Sony sales highlight PlayStation Vita's struggle

• eddiehitler 02/08/2012

  I'd love to get a vita but there's no way I can afford it at its current price because of the need for a memory card and the price of the best games.
  I'll have to stick with my 3ds for now despite the worrying lack of anything that interests me being released until luigis mansion later this year. Reply +3

• Silent: Hill Downpour dev Vatra Games in danger of closure

• eddiehitler 23/07/2012

  Konami didn't help them by putting a laughable amount of marketing behind it, I really liked it as it was miles better than homecoming and unlike that felt like it was from this gen in terms of gameplay and visuals.
  
  Also Shattered Memories is a top game and really should get a HD upgrade along with Origins and The Room Reply +1

• Nintendo: Western 3DS momentum "currently weak"

• eddiehitler 05/07/2012

  The 3ds' games line up for the rest of the year is spectacularly weak, even compared to vita which has an exclusive assassins creed, call of duty and little big planet ahead of it.
  
  That's not to mention a proper version of FIFA, a criterion need for speed and the fact it will most likely have a price cut before Christmas like 3ds had last year.
  
  In fact I'm tempted to trade my 3ds for a vita at the moment which is a shame as I love the machine but I'm having increasing trouble in deciding whether to keep it because of the dearth of new games. Reply -1

• What Went Wrong with Stereo 3D?

• eddiehitler 23/06/2012

  I've recently bought a 40' Sony bravia and the 3d ranges from excellent (drive angry 3d) to crosstalky as hell (gears of war 3). Uncharted 3 looks a right mess on it, very dissapointing, especially compared to the 3ds.
  That's why 3d isn't taking off. Reply +2

• Starbreeze: Syndicate was "a lost battle from the get-go"

• eddiehitler 20/06/2012

  I rented it and really enjoyed it, probably more than darkness 2 which came out at the same time.
  I'll buy it when it goes on the cheap as I really enjoyed the gun play and the hack features :D Reply -1
