Gran Turismo 5: Driving Force

December 8, 2010December 17, 2010 Wesley Fok Dear Game Diary, Gran Turismo 5, GT5, Playstation, PS3, PSN, review, Sony3 Comments

Spoiler warning: Some cars in Gran Turismo 5 may come fitted with spoilers. You can also fit spoilers to pretty much any car in the Maintenance section. I’ve played every major version of Gran Turismo to date, including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo for PSP (but not for very long). Every time, it’s roughly the same story: I enter GT Mode, start completing license tests, buy my first car, and slowly work my way up to the pro leagues until finally, somewhere before I’ve completed every race series,…

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX review

December 2, 2010December 8, 2010 David Doel Great Canadian Gamer, Pac-Man, Pac-Man Championshop Edition DX, PS3, PSN, review, Xbox 360, Xbox Live5 Comments

Wow. I don’t believe I’ve ever started off a review with that word, but that simple three-letter word describes Pac-Man Championship Edition DX quite well. Continuing on the success of the original Pac-Man Championship Edition – only released on the 360 – this latest version of the classic franchise can be found on both the 360’s Xbox Live Arcade and PS3’s Playstation Network Store. And what an incredible $10 game it is. Taking the classic Pac-Man game play and bringing it into the current generation, making it relevant in today’s…

2 million Dead Rising and counting

October 28, 2010November 2, 2010 Doug Groves Blue Castle Games, Capcom, Capcom Games Vancouver, Dead Rising 2, Microsoft, PS3, Sony, Xbox 360, Zombies3 Comments

No, the zombie apocalypse isn’t on us yet. Dead Rising 2, developed by Blue Castle Games for Capcom, has sold over 2 million copies since its release last month, which puts it on track to outsell its predecessor by a fair margin. I’m ashamed to say that as a zombie fan I have yet to play the sequel, which gives players a chance to destroy the undead in a number of creative ways, including making their own weapon combos by duct taping such disparate items as chainsaws and paddles together….

Fallout New Vegas Magic Karma Pot

October 28, 2010November 2, 2010 Doug Groves Bethesda, bug, cheat, Fallout New Vegas, loot, PC gaming, PS3, video, Xbox 3604 Comments

Fallout New Vegas is a wonderful and at times frustrating time sink, and earning enough bottlecaps to afford all the items you need is an ongoing effort. If you’re like thousands of others scattered over the Mojave Wastelands, looking for a way to get by without having to earn your bottlecaps, you’ve probably turned to the chore of gambling, and even the best of you have probably been tempted to ‘steal’ the occasional item from a home or shop. Well, thanks to the easy demonstration below by YouTube user Erozlol,…

Fallout New Vegas Review

October 26, 2010November 1, 2010 Raj Bethesda Softworks, Fallout, Fallout New Vegas, Microsoft, ohmpage.ca, PC gaming, PS3, review, Sony, Xbox5 Comments

Two years ago we fell in love with Fallout 3. It was a marvelously rich experience full of atmosphere and wonder. Now the wasteland is back with Fallout: New Vegas from Obsidian Entertainment. In this new title we’re transplanted to the west in and around what was once Las Vegas before the nuclear war. There is a lot to explore here so we’d better get started. It’s difficult to review this title without comparing it directly with Fallout 3. They have so much in common that playing Fallout New Vegas,…

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood multiplayer interview

October 19, 2010October 22, 2010 Doug Groves Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Christophe Grandjean, DLC, interview, Microsoft, multiplayer, PC gaming, PS3, Sony, Ubisoft, Ubisoft Montreal, Xbox 3600 comment

Now that PS3 owners have had the pleasure of trying out the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood multiplayer demo, Ubisoft has taken to showing off the different modes more openly, and discussing their plans going forward. The main challenge in multiplayer was to find game modes that actually work with the franchise. To keep in the spirit of the franchise, the players are actually Templars training in the Animus, running through various simulations, which represent the different multiplayer modes. We had a chance to talk with Christophe Grandjean of Ubisoft Montreal about…

This past week, Sony held a public Holiday preview event at the Hummingbird Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, showcasing not only a number of games aiming for the holiday season and beyond, but the PS3 Move and 3D in action. While there, the biggest lineup was probably for Gran Turismo 5, which had a lot of people waiting to get their hands on it. We got a chance to talk with Matt Levitan, Director of Marketing / Public Relations for Sony Computer Entertainment Canada, about how the Move is…

Ubisoft crossover fever: Assassins Creed, CSI and Pets to have Facebook components

Do you like console gaming, but somehow find yourself wasting too much time on Facebook, making you fell guilty for not using your beatiful next gen console to its fullest potential? Depending on how you look at it, maybe Ubisoft is going to give you a reason to fire up the console more often, or maybe they’re just going to suck you all the way into the black (and blue – so much blue) pit that is Fb. At a press conference in San Francisco, they’ve announced that they’ll be…

Child of Eden at Tokyo Game Show – Rez Super HD?

Child of Eden, from Q? Entertainment, the spiritual successor to Rez HD (Rez remade), had an extended demonstration at the Tokyo Game show. If you’re not familiar with Rez HD, it’s ostensibly a 3rd person shooter where your hacker avatar attempts to infiltrate an advanced computer network controlled by an AI named Eden. The game itself was completely on rails, but that didn’t stop it from becoming one of the best titles released on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. What makes that game stand out is it’s balance of visuals and…

Sony Move for the PS3 officially launches

September 20, 2010September 21, 2010 Doug Groves motion controller, Move, Playstation, press release, PS3, Sony, Sony Move1 Comment

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the PlayStation Move, it’s out now. The wireless motion contoller allows players to move objects accurately through 3D space in games on the PS3, using a combination of accelerometers and the PlayStation Eye to provide 1:1 motion. The official Sept 19th launch date was originally announced back at E3 2010, but John, our man in Montreal, was at his local game store on Friday, where there were a couple of boxes worth just sitting on the floor. Instead of ponying up…
