As you can see over the last few weeks there have been new stuff posted on here and i promise that it’s going to continue at an even bigger pace over the next few months.

Now that i have somebody else posting up features etc it’s helping me to get vagusnet back and i just want to say a big thanks to him.

So what can you expect over the next few months well i have a few ideas for some really good features plus I’m also looking into ways of doing things a little different including reviewing games like no other site has done plus a different way of doing news as well.

So if you have any thoughts or ideas on what else we can do or even just have a comment about the site post it below and i will try and answer as much as i can

In this piece I want to talk about how much I think that the gore and violence has risen since last gen consoles and how the developers and pushing the boundaries.

As you all should know there wasn’t much violence or horror back in the day of the Sony Playstation the closest I got to a proper horror that made you jump was Resident Evil and Silent Hill but looking back compared to Condemned (what I’m playing at the moment) which is very scary compared to Resident Evil but that could be me.
I know there are now loads of survival horrors but when I had my Sony Playstation and I had Resident Evil Two I was only 7-8 years old and remember being scared by it but if you go back and play it now it doesn’t seem that scary but if I was to play Condemned when I was 7-8 my god I would probably run away crying.
Another thing is how much the violence and gore have gone up drastically and how they have got away with it, I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m sure if they keep making Survival Horrors there will always be gamers who will buy them for the rush. In my eyes I am not a big fan of survival horrors but I will play through them for the rush.

Guess what I’ve decided to give this another try so as of tomorrow i will be updating this a lot more than i have with a feature on EA plus i have also got an idea on how to do reviews a little different but that’s for another post.

So thanks for everybody who has been checking in on here and don’t forget to come back tomorrow to check out my feature on those nice people at EA

Just in case you don’t know about this site head on over to the lolocaust as it’s one of the best sites out there on the Internet and it has a fantastic forum.

the site can be found here and don’t forget to tell everybody about it.

I thought i would add another feature to VN that every other gaming site does and thats top 10’s.

So to kick off this weekend will be the first one and thats about the top 10 biggest gaming cock-up’s of the last 5 years (catchy title is’nt it).

I want to try and not follow other gaming sites by also doing top 10’s on other subjects apart from the usual 10 best games ever etc (but i will include those in them as well).

If you have any suggestions as to what top 10’s you would like to see let me know and i’ll give them a thought.

I had to post up this trailer as i was a huge fan of the original Starship Troopers but the sequel was a bit pants so i have high hopes for the third one as the character Johnny Rico is back to kick some alien butt (horray).

It’s time for another Army of Two trailer for you to get your teeth around.
So enjoy.

A quick piece of news here that will be bad news to those that are waiting for Manhunt 2 over on our shores.

The game will not see the light of day as the High court has overturned the decision the appeals committee made late last year.

The appeals committee decided to over turn the BBFC decision and say that the game can be released however the BBFC went into a strop like a five year old kid and went to the high court, well it now seems that the babies got there own way by stopping the game from getting released over here.

If anymore news happens on Manhunt 2 we will let you know

Atari has finally decided to set a release date for there upcoming Alone in the Dark and it’s much closer than thought.

The game is set to scare us sometime in May on the 360, Wii, PS2 and PC however the release date for the PS3 version has’nt been set yet.

The game is set around Central Park and will be split into episode chapters that will see players surviving over each on of the chapters.

It was also rumored that the Wii version would be different however it will still have the same layout as the 360 and PC version but it will not have the same graphics power behind like the 360 and PC versions.

As soon as i get my hands on a copy i’ll post up a review for it so keep a look out for that.

As promised here is the details on the first competiton on Vagusnet of 2008.

With this being the first competiton i thought i would take it easy on everybody so all you have to do to be entered into the draw to win a copy of Chronos Twins and Final Fantasy Fables on the DS is to head over to the forum (found here) and start a new topic in anyone of the sections.
After you have done that send me a pm with the title of the topic and all of your details and you will be entered into the draw.

If you are not a member of the forum then simply join and start a topic to be entered.

The competiton ends on 16th Feb and the winner will be notified a little time after.

So good luck and get posting.
