Not being an avid gamer, this is something which I was completely unaware of and quite surprised about when I read it. China seems like such an obvious gaming market due to their adoration of foreign culture and mass consumerism, but instead consoles have been banned since 2000. Crazy, right? Fortunately, The Wall Street Journal […]
While Nintendo may not always be the most successful company, they have revolutionized the world of gaming many a time, what with the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo Wii. More recently they have delved into the world of mobile gaming, and graphic designer Pierre Cerveau has taken that one step further with some excellently-imaginative concept […]
It’s rare that entire fan communities mourn the death of a company’s CEO. In movies and TV we spend so much time praising the creative figures as the people in the boardroom are, the majority of the time, most interested in profit margins. In gaming the praise will go towards the developers, programmers and the […]
When I hear the sound of my Genesis starting up, it brings me back to five year old Wak trying to defeat Eggman, while sitting in my tidy whiteys. Sonic the Hedgehog‘s first release was in 1991 and soon, for a time, gave Nintendo a run for their money. Sonic was chosen to be the […]
This is a news article, but prepare for a little bit of rant on the side. So Rock Simulator: that crappy game we talked about earlier in the week, wants your money now. Its developers are asking that people help support its development, which I understand, but c’mon. This is a Rock Simulator. Goat Simulator […]
Ah Steam, you never fail to amuse me. With your summer sales you cripple my bank account every year, but now you’re easing the pain with a new simulator. Forget Goat Simulator, Rock Simulator is the latest in PC gaming’s simulator craze, and as you can guess from the title, it’s a fun rock simulating […]
So according to Leon Hurley from PlayStation Official Magazine UK, there’s some new spoilery info for the new Arkham game. But I’ll cover the non-spoilery info first, so if you don’t wanna see some possible spoilers, avert your eyes or don’t scroll down after I talk about these first details. Alright, so Dax Ginn has some details […]
One of this fall’s big Assassin’s Creed games, (yes, that means there’ll be more than one) called or code-named Unity, is set at least partly in 18th-century Paris, according to early leaked screenshots obtained by Kotaku. These screenshots were apparently sent anonymously to Kotaku, it’s credible, and there’s images to back it up, so let’s see. The screenshots are supposed to […]
A while ago I made a post here about weird glitches that have occurred in the latest Assassin’s Creed game. I’m back to do it again. So I was just about to murder everyone on an island that I can’t remember the name of, when all of a sudden.. some sort of portal to hell […]
Ah Assassin’s Creed, what a beautiful game series.. when the textures don’t completely fuck up. So I held off on getting this game and I got it for Christmas, or the holidays or whatever you kids call it these days, and there’s some weird texture glitches. Usually I’m just killing some pirates or looking for […]
It’s almost that time of year again, Christmas! I don’t think I really need to explain to you what that is, but in case you forgot, it’s one of the best times of the year as we nerds get to get our hands on the latest apparel in fandom. Whether you’re looking for something […]
Yesterday PC Gamer posted something incredible. They posted an article. An article about a computer. A special computer. A computer I would never ever have enough money for. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Large Pixel Collider. This is one monster of a machine, it’s incredible. Here’s a quote from PC Gamer: We also want the LPC […]
I think I speak for all fans of Gravity Rush when I say FINALLY! Revealed at the Sony’s Japan Asia booth at the Tokyo Game Show on Thursday, patrons were treated to footage of the new game which showed the first games protagonist Kat showing off some of her gravity powers, Raven who was another […]
Microsoft have started teasing that they have a new Xbox one exclusive to reveal at Gamescom. Major Nelson had this to say on his podcast. We’re gonna have a really short stage presentation with some news, talking about some unique exclusive coming to the platform. We’re going to talk about Europe’s biggest franchise and maybe […]
Welcome back to Weird Game Wednesday, where some of the writers here at UTF share some digital love with readers. This week we’ll be taking a look at a very unusual game, Extreme Forklifting. As the name implies this game is a straight up forklifting simulator. Now what I noticed from the very beginning was, […]
It’s been a while since there’s been any discussion about Assassin’s Creed’s present-day setting, which is weird since the last game’s ending was a bit nuts, but now images have surfaced of Black Flag’s modern-day part of the game. 4 images in fact. These screenshots show off Abstergo Entertainment, a new division of Abstergo Industries, the […]
I can already feel the hate directed at me through some of your computer screens, but nevertheless I am standing strong with my points. I believe… no screw that. I know that PC’s are the ultimate gaming machines which offer the ultimate gaming experience. Here’s why: 1) Graphics Don’t look at me like that, you […]
I was sitting in my room the other day, wasting away like most 20 year old males do these days. As i sat there contemplating my life I looked out the corner of my eye and saw my beloved Playstation 2 gathering dust on the dresser. Feeling a bit nostalgic, I dusted off the ole […]
TableTop gamers! Finally we have a holiday (besides Boxing Day which in my house means a number of increasingly drunken and mean-spirited games of Lord of the Rings themed Monopoly)! Today the always amazing Felicia Day of Geek and Sundry (and a few other things) declared March 30th to be International Tabletop Day. The plan […]
While the company has made numerous mistakes over the past couple of years, there’s no denying that Nintendo’s simple way of doing things is nice to see in today’s complex gaming world. They focus on gameplay above all else, making sure repetition doesn’t happen with its big name games. Unlike Sony or Microsoft, the company relies […]
