If you are a fan of Warhammer, specifically Warhammer 40,000, then feel free to check out this thread over on the popular wargaming forums Warseer.

OK, so you've got the big names in gaming, you've even got Call of Duty, but no videogame can come close to the hype levels of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series.

OK, so we've known for a long time that Microsoft have been busy behind the scenes creating their newest piece of hardware. Lets be honest, they've done a terrible job at trying to keep the project under wraps.
On May 21st we shall finally see the unveiling of the new Xbox via a live stream.

I have got one major update however! I've started writing news articles for Grainger Games, a UK-based videogame retailer. My first article (regarding the Nintendo Direct video posted last week) was posted a few days ago while a second is on its way.

Just a quick update with a couple of links.
The first one is all about the Wii U. Is it all over for Nintendo's latest home console? While it may look bleak I can assure you the best is yet to come based on previous Nintendo consoles. Don't sell yours just yet!
And finally, I'm a big fan of Bastion so it was much glee that Supergiant Games have announced a brand new title, David Jenningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04475546221979680152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468119408782577002.post-16120513781656462382013-03-01T20:33:00.000+00:002013-03-01T20:33:20.654+00:00A Step BackwardsSo by now I'm sure you've all have seen the new about the Playstation 4, with its PC-like gubbins, Dual Shock 4 controller and all its other bits and bobs.
And while for the most part everyone is looking forward to the arrival of a new next generation console Sony do have a slight problem to contend with.

Last year was a great year for those who like mysteries and puzzle games, with a brand new Professor Layton title that offered more brain teasers and mini games than ever before among the biggest releases of 2012. For 2013 though, Nintendo is continuing to help sharpen our minds with a new brain training game that promises to help us focus – or at least, asks us if we can.

Even though I have never been able to really devote the time it desires I still can't help but sit back in my chair and applaud it's achievements. It doesn't want to be 'Warcraft-in-Space', nor does consider going free to play. The term Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game describes EVE perfectly, for it is massive.

I don't have much time!
News has just broke (which then broke Twitter) regarding a release date for Grand Theft Auto V. All the POS that stated Spring were obviously based on a dream that they could get the game finished and out before the Summer. Sadly, this won't be the case, and further more could have a knock on effect with the next generation consoles which are likely to be announcedDavid Jenningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04475546221979680152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468119408782577002.post-86400837762622021942013-01-29T19:48:00.002+00:002013-01-29T19:48:47.689+00:00Goodbye THQSadly, the once-popular publisher THQ is no more.
As the events unfolded over on Twitter I started typing away. After some tweaks and rumour confirmation I was able to publish this post on Blast Process.
Although it'll be some time before deals are fully done, especially when it comes to IPs/licenses that are still in the balance (such as the WWE franchise and Darksiders).

Even though a week or so has passed since heading down to the capital for 2 full days of gaming at the Eurogamer Expo we've still got lots of content over at BlastProcess.com to hit the internet.
Below is a little bit of a recap for the time being of content we have online at the moment:

I've only moments ago posted a new article on GamingUnity.com entitled 'Finishing The Fight' which can be found here.
In that piece I'm basically talking about my inability to finish games due to being distracted by other new games. Have a read and comment ether here or on GamingUnity if you're often stuck in the same boat as me!
