Peter Molyneux has become something of a joke to some gamers. He’s become infamous for promising incredible things in his games and failing to deliver on such a level that it’s spectacular. Nowhere was this more apparent than with Fable for the Xbox. Peter promised incredible things, like “trees that grow in real time”, “rival factions that go to war with you”, “characters that age over time” and so on. With all this and more going into one game, Fable had to be one of the best things ever, ri
Please note: just because a game didn’t deliver on everything it said it would doesn’t mean it was bad . A number of these games were still good, or at least decent. They just didn’t deliver of everything they were meant
The stakes don’t get much higher than trying to prevent a race of synthetic beings from wiping out every last trace of intelligent life in the galaxy. That’s the task that falls to Commander Shepherd in Bioware’s Mass Effect trilogy, which is set a long way into the future after humanity has managed to tentatively establish itself in the hierarchy of the Milky Way’s alien races. This beautiful and expansive science fiction epic captured the hearts of gamers, and with the right director on board could capture the hearts of moviegoers as w

There have already been two movies based on the Silent Hill games – one of them pretty good, the other pretty terrible. These games were based on the first Silent Hill game and Silent Hill 3 , which deal with the town’s strange cult and the little girl who becomes a vessel for their god. Silent Hill 2 , however, is about a man called James Sunderland who comes to Silent Hill after his wife sends a letter inviting him to the town. He finds this pretty disturbing, since his wife has been dead for three years. It’s a great set-up for a game full of mystery, psychological horror and creepy monsters – all of which could transfer very well to the big scr
