0  E3 2010: Bulletstorm Hands-On Impressions Tue, Jun 22nd, 2010, 6:31 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS Bulletstorm, from developers People Can Fly and Epic Games, is an upcoming first-person shooter that rewards players for killing in a creative, sadistic way. Being built on the Unreal Engine, in close collaboration with Epic, has given Bulletstorm a very familiar presentation - it looks strikingly similar to Gears of War, albeit at a much quicker pace. While the core "skillshot" mechanics are entertaining, the limited move-set in the demo makes the game's staying power uncertain. More »

0  Should Gears of War 3 Wait Until The Next Generation? Thu, Apr 8th, 2010, 11:32 am (EST) BY ADAM MA In many ways the Gears of War series is quite unique to the console-shooter genre. Slower paced gameplay, loads of gore, and characters that look like they could rip a tank in half – it really sets Gears apart from the rest of the crowd. In a generation where games are trying to look as realistic as possible, it's kind of refreshing to see Marcus and Dom chainsaw their way through an entire race. Unfortunately, I'm not so sure what’s left to look forward to in Gears of War 3. After all, Gears 2 was really more of the same, only with some better graphics and a few revamped weapons. Would it be better to wait for the next generation of consoles so they could really wow their audience? More »

Not content with this, Ubisoft Paris set to work on realising their initial dreams, something which was made much more achievable with the release of Wii MotionPlus - something which is mandatory to play the game. Development also moved away from the Unreal Engine, in favour of their own LyN engine. More »

0  Fairytale Fights First Impressions Posted on 2009/08/26 BY DARRYL Fairytale Fights is a new IP from PlayLogic, which is being developed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It's being built using the Unreal Engine 3 and it's probably one of the more imaginative uses for this particular piece of kit. Gaming Union was fortunate enough to get some lengthy hands-on time with the game at GamesCom 2009 and it's certainly an interesting prospect. More »
