Clap your hands everybody, if you got what it takes, it’s the IGN AU Pubcast yo, and we want you to know that this – is our distinctly Aussie take on the traditional podcast, blending our love of gaming with beer and toilet humour – and a liberal dose of intelligent debate.

38 Studios has its hands full with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, its upcoming hack-and-slash RPG that’s set to be released in February of 2012. I’ve played Reckoning and I think it has a great deal of potential from a gameplay point-of-view, but when you hear about how ridiculously ambitious its ap…

There was a time when developer Silicon Knights was at the top of its form, creating some of the best games on the GameCube, namely the unnerving mind-funk that was Eternal Darkness and an excellent update of a PlayStation classic, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.

We’ve got webs, nets, guns, and lost souls with Dark Souls and Rage leading the way this week in new releases.

Is Sony going to release a new console for every game that comes out?  It’s looks like they are, with the recent announcement that a Playstaton 3 Final Fantasy XIII-2 Lighting Editions Version 2 (wow, that’s a mouthful) bundle pack will be available on December 15, 2011.  The bundle will include the Playstation 3 console with 320 GB hard disk drive and the FInal Fantasy XIII-2 game.

With that being said, the system does look pretty tight.

Much of what I experience in the video games is very much what I’ve read or watched before. I feel like I’m going through the motions of something very familiar to me. The same goes for many licensed games, really. Fortunately, with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, developer CyberConnect2 breaks that tradition…
