Selected as part of Microsoft’s high profile ‘House Party’ season of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles, Nexuiz will also appear on PlayStation 3 and PC later this spring. 

“Making Nexuiz has been a blast for our team,”
“We’ve been fortunate to work with some great tech in CryENGINE 3, we’ve had fantastic support from THQ and Machinima, and we’re really stoked to have been selected as part of Microsoft’s House Party program.”
- said Kedhrin Gonzalez, Creative Director at Illfonic.

“We’re thrilled with what Illfonic have achieved with Nexuiz,”
“We’re proud to see that Nexuiz is the first CryENGINE 3 powered title to be released outside the Crytek family of studios, and the fact that it was achieved by such a relatively small team goes to show how effective CryENGINE can be in the right hands.”
- said Carl Jones, Director of Global Business Development CryENGINE.

For centuries the Kavussari and the Forsellians have waged war. They have a fragile truce but due to their seething disgust of each other they still pit their warriors against each other in arenas rather than on the fields of war.

Those episodes of lethal combat are now broadcast throughout the galaxy, as entertainment… a spectacle known as… The Nexuiz Competition: An arena based first person shooter where you can alter the rules of the match and laws of physics while you dominate opponents in ever-changing hostile environments bleeding with hatred.

• Arena FPS is back – inspired by the giants of the Arena FPS genre, Nexuiz reinvents twitch gaming for next generation consoles and PC

• Over 100 ‘Dynamic Mutators’ serve as game-changing power-ups – Jetpacks, Uber-Nuke, Low Gravity, Big Head Mode and many more…

• 9 deadly arenas – powered by CryENGINE 3, Nexuiz sets a new graphical benchmark for a digital-only release

• Designed for competitive play – a superbly balanced weapon set, classic game modes, and extensive stat tracking, Medals and Leaderboard support

• Play solo or online – hone your skills against bots, then wage war online against the best in 4v4 multiplayer matches

• Just 800 Microsoft Points – Nexuiz offers hours of gameplay and unprecedented production values for a $10 title

The House of the Dead 3 added a number of key features to the series’ creature-shooting roots, including interactive “rescue events” and a ranking and grading system that tracks each agent’s shot accuracy. This new console version of The House of the Dead 3 can be played using a PlayStation Move controller or a standard PlayStation controller, and as a special bonus SEGA has also included a unique reward for players to earn in-game: their very own virtual The House of the Dead 3 arcade cabinet for their PlayStation®Home space!

Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America said:

“We know not everyone has easy access to an arcade with a House of the Dead cabinet, so we wanted to give players around the world the chance to have that same experience in their living rooms.”

“We hope everyone enjoys The House of the Dead 3’s classic gameplay and new features, and look forward to introducing console owners to the fourth, previously arcade-only, installment later this spring.”

Backbreaker: Vengeance marks the first time the series has been available as a digital download via Xbox® LIVE Arcade and PlayStation® Network, featuring non-stop, hard-hitting arcade action; bone-crunching tackles; and tons of swagger from end-zone to end-zone. Unprecedented, hard-hitting tackles using NaturalMotion’s euphoria engine and jaw-dropping graphics complement the distinct pick-up-and-playability that proved so infectious with Backbreaker Football’s “Tackle Alley” mini-game.

“Backbreaker has caught the imagination of players around the world with its fresh approach to the sports genre. Backbreaker Vengeance focuses on the aspects of American football our fans love: incredible euphoria animations, gut-busting tackles, deceptive juke maneuvers and a pick-up-and-play feel,” said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion. “This intense spiritual successor to Tackle Alley will show gamers across the world that when it comes to delivering no-frills football action, Backbreaker: Vengeance is where it’s at.”

Since its arrival on the mobile platforms in 2009 and on console in 2010, the Backbreaker franchise has garnered over six million fans across the world, testament to its proudly accessible approach to American football.
Whether you takedown or touchdown…it’s Vengeance!

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday (sometimes Green Friday) is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Depending on the source, the term dates either from the 1980s or back as 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. The term has become more common in other parts of the country since 2000. Because Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, the day after usually occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November. On this day many U.S. retailers open very early, with most of the retailers typically opening at 5AM or even earlier, at midnight.
The day’s roots may have originated in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Others claim it was part of mid-1980s anti-consumerism backlash, when people took a pledge to “blackout” that day – staying home, rather than shopping.

So being as Assassins Creed always pushes it’s platform to the limits and this time around why should things change? It is also one of them games that never seems to let people down and now it has multiplayer it is even better. Playstation 3 uses also get some free DLC content which is waiting patiently on the Playstation Store but for the purpose of this review I shall state that I have not tried that yet as I didn’t want it to effect the review.

Like me many people will probably pick this up as their first Assassins Creed game and other than reading stories about it online I didnt really know what the Assassins Creed games were about but here is what I did find out.

‘Assassin’s Creed’ is a romantic series of action games that pushes the technical limits of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with outstanding depictions of the world’s greatest cities in ancient times. Inside these cities a secret war rages between the Knights Templar and a cult of assassins, the latter recently enlisting the help of an Italian nobleman named Ezio Auditore da Firenze. ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’ is faster-paced than the first two instalments of the series, with Ezio adding more sensational manoeuvres to his free-running repertoire in between scrappier assassinations. Generally it seems that ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’ is chasing an action-oriented audience.


In Assassins Creed Brotherhood you live and breathe as Ezio Auditore, a legendary master assassin. The single player campaign is roughly 15 hours long in the lively and unpredictable Rome to help you experience the Renaissance. Also for a first Assassins Creed Brotherhood now has a multiplayer mode. You get to choose from a wide selection of unique characters with their own distinctive weapons and assassination techniques.

As most games it does have its good and bad sides of it though but I won’t say its a bad game at all….infact it’s quite fun!

The Good Points:

The free-running (parkour) thrills that debuted with the original Assassin’s Creed have become more breathtaking than ever. Ezio is launched rapidly skyward upon tripping a switch to gain height fast, or takes to swinging on lanterns and chains to round corners without losing momentum. Apparently this is something that has been brought from the previous game, such as renovating the city to open new outlets for armour, medicine, and the latest fashions. This great idea is expanded to include the whole of Rome. Also the city is so vast that Ezio can ride his horse through the streets to save time, or take shortcuts through a network of tunnels. Exploration can be mesmerising due to fantastic detail in all locations. If fighting is more your thing, you’ll love the way the combat system flows.

The Bad Points:

There aren’t any glaring negatives to ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’ but, as with previous outings, the first hour or so is slow to get started. A love scene is part of this, and is quite embarrassing – not because you see anything, it just seemed pointless watching a couple of videogame models getting it on. Infact I went and put the kettle on at that point. This is scene-setting, of course, but the storyline elsewhere can be hard to follow when you’re mostly busy figuring out how to climb the nearest tall building or legging it after a terrified Borgias assassination target. ‘Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’ is best when it’s having more boisterous fun.

It does also feature a hollywood actress too, well at least her face makes an appearance if not her voice. I am of course speaking of Kristen Bell who according to IMDB plays no part in Brotherhood but did feature in Assassins Creed 2. Here is Kristens face in Assassins Creed Brotherood.

As you can see it does look very much like her, the hair isn

Something that I need to mention is that as a new comer to the Assassins Creed-Series I did find the game challenging in parts but there is enough online guides to get you past certain points or, if like me you would rather work it out yourself then just remember to take as much time as you need, although at points of the game in order to get 100% you will need to really do things as you are told whether that is throwing a Captain of the Borgian Army into some scaffolding or passing a certain stage in order 8 minutes it really is best to work it out yourself. If you don’t manage to do it at 100% you can always replay certain missions/memories until you do.

Compared to other games out there this is really on it’s own right now the multiplayer mode is ‘ok’ but nothing will beat FPS with gamers these days and it’s hard to make Assassins Creed takeover them popular FPS but…saying that it still is worth a try. The game is also Uplay enabled which means that points you have collected from other titles such as H.A.W.X.2 and Splintercell Conviction can be carried over to here this allows you to change various elements such as play as the Hellequin or perhaps you want to play using Altair’s robes, well thanks to Uplay you can.

Below is ingame footage recorded by me which shows you the Uplay rewards that are available to see for yourself. It was recorded using a neat little thing called VBOX2 and was via Component cables, I am aware that the quality may not be absolutely fantastic but I havent messed with settings you can still clearly see what is there for you.

So taking into account the massive singleplayer campaign and stunning views of Rome this side of 1500A.D. And the new Multiplayer concept I am going to give this game a 9 out of 10 but suggest you get hold of Assassins Creed 2 first as this game apparently starts where that ends.

I know that when writing reviews I miss certain things out as I do it from memory, like most people do. So if there is something you want me to look at again please leave a comment below and if there is any questions about the game you wish to ask then please do so in the comment box below.

So whats it like on the console then?

Well previous console versions were ‘ok’ and had only slight elements from the PC versions but this one is very similar to the PC/Mac versions. There is however some annoying things that console versions do not have and these are, the ability to take ingame screenshots and also being able to buy a plot of land and build your own house, you can however alter the current home of your sim there is possibly more but these are the only ones I have found so far.

One of the best things about the PC version is the amount of customisation you can do and this is present in the console versions too…apart from building on an empty lot of course.

If you want to change the fabric of certain things then you can whether it be furniture or clothing almost everything can be tweaked to your liking and then shared via the Sims Exchange so that others can see and download your creations.

More info will be put into the review but so far so good for me!
