What Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony did right
15 days 20 hours ago | by: Sangria
The gaming industry is not totally a bunch of greedy publishers with unlimited sequels for a popular franchise, there are also good ideas. Video games exist since more than 40 years, and it becomes hard to be truly original in a game or in the industry. Everything is a copy of a previous thing, and usually pleasure and fun come from original ideas.
But developers are not the only ones to ...

42 days 5 hours ago | by: Sangria
Since 2002, every year in France are organized the Micromania Game Shows. Micromania is in France the equivalent of Gamestop (and they eventually have been bought by Gamestop in October 2008), the biggest french video game retailer. Considering the huge profits and growth they make every year, they decided to create the Micromania Game Show, a similar event to E3 with few differences. The show ...

Which game can be Sony's true flagship?
69 days 21 hours ago | by: Sangria
This generation of gaming consoles is the battleground of a massive warfare between fanboys, where PS3 and Xbox 360 fans are the main protagonists. If we had to stigmatize, we'd say that "PS3 has no game and no sales", "Xbox 360 is only for shooter and racers and is against originality" and "Wii is for casual gamers and they have no true game". The fight is hard. It's not the first time fans ba...

Rag Doll Kung Fu to get DLC
76 days 4 hours ago | by: Sangria
In May 2009, I received a survey from Sony about Crash Commando. The survey was asking, among other things, my appreciation of the game but also what I'd like to see as DLC. The survey proposed several DLC choices, including new maps, new characters, new weapons and new modes.
And few weeks ago, in late August, 5 months after this survey, Sony released on the PlayStation Store two DLC pack...

What happens when fairytale characters decide to fight each others?
Fairytale Fights' synopsis can easily be summed up with that. The game is a mix with a platformer and a bloody beat'em all, where inflated-head characters from fairytale like Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White fight dark forces threatening their world.
The game will be playable up to 4 characte...

Raving Rabbids get NSFW for a calendar
87 days 7 hours ago | by: Sangria
8 years ago started in France Les Dieux du Stade (Gods of the Stadium), a series of calendar where french rugby players were posing naked in an erotico-artistic way. Those muscled buttocks were available each year and a part of the calendar benefits were given to charity associations.
But french rugbymen are no longer the only one to do this, now.
Ubisoft announces The Raving Rabbids :...

Is the Joker DLC a test for Sony?
109 days 1 hour ago | by: Sangria
Until now, Microsoft took the place of the little dirty evil that wants to slow down PS3 sales and development with mostly hard-edged patents (the in-game music system is patented by Microsoft for example) and paying third party developers to acquire exclusive DLC.
Remember the times when it has been announced that Microsoft paid $50 millions (which represents twice the budget of an AAA ga...
