Here is an issue though, I started doing this on the 31st august. It's now 4th september, and guess what? IT HASN'T FINISHED DOWNLOADING!!! I couldn't say why this is, but it's starting to annoy me. Like, how can I play a beta and write a first impressions article about a game I can't play yet!

In case you have been hiding under a rock, or on the run from international Mafia types you should be pretty familiar with the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World movie, on which this offering from Ubisoft is based. However, if you need refreshing then SPVTW is the classic story of “Boy meets girl, Boy loves girl, Boy has to defeat the evil ex-boyfriends of girl”.

Why? Because Portal is on a required reading list as an example of a defining piece of work in American culture.

Near the end of the first day I got to have some hands on with two Playstation Move titles which really did show off why the PS Move could actually be a success. As NaggingGnat put it “The PS Move is what the Wii should have been.” This is something I couldn’t agree with more, and why? Well just read on to find out about my experience with the two titles in question.

Firstly though I would need to thank NaggingGnat’s other half for being our personal tour guide. She got us from the train station to the Edinburgh Film house in one piece. We would have probably still been wandering Edinburgh the now if she wasn’t there. Ok so back to the event, which was one filled with some great gaming, but also a lot of data which created some very interesting ideas. A highlight of day one was the concept of games not being a service.

Ray Maguire Thinks Not http://ifmenhadwings.com/component/content/article/67-gamer-news/1614-is-3d-a-fad-ray-maguire-thinks-not

During our visit to the Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2010, we attended a talk given to the delegates by Ray Maguire, the current CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. His aim was to convince the sceptics in the room that Sony's recent announcements which have championed and supported 3D media in the home were not misguided. Did he succeed? Well let's see.

If you watch Top Gear then you will have know that Tom Cruise beat the Stig!! Yes honest he did, I know it’s hard to believe. Now I know you probably think this is going to have something to do with Tom Cruise? Well it doesn’t but at least the title had you intrigued… No? Well anyway Sony, Paramount Digital Entertainment, Nascar and Piranha Games have announced that Days of Thunder: Nascar Edition is getting nearer release. If you have never heard of Days of Thunder then you must be a young gamer. It was a movie that was a hit for tome cruise back in 1990, in which he played a Nascar driver and that’s all you need to know really. Oh yeah and Nicole Kidman was in it too. Enough of that, let’s get onto details about the game.

The pokemon franchise was massive way back when red and blue were out, but seemed to dwindle a little as less and less coverage of the games appeared in the media and such. Well, just thought I would let you know that Pokemon Black and White, the upcoming titles in the series, are reported to have over 1 million pre-orders already and that is expected to rise to over 1.5 million before it's september 18th release date in Japan.

With this in mind the first of quite a lot of information comes in the form of Vanquish. I have been reporting the Vanquish blogs since the start and this week seen two blogs posted. So lets take a look at them now.

Front Mission Evolved is the next title in the long lasting tactical RPG series. Yet this time it comes without the tactical RPG tag as Front Mission Evolved is the first game in the series to be a third-person shooter. There have been many spin-offs from its roots in the past such as a side-scrolling shooter, an RTS and even an arcade title in the same vein as Armoured Core yet this is a very different step for the series to take especially on next-gen consoles!
