This ape finds himself playing with himself a lot but I also play video games by myself a lot too. It's not that I prefer to play games alone it's just that Mrs Hairyback isn't into video games and the little Hairyback in the house hasn't developed the dexterity to fully master a current generation console controller. Some say that a Wii would be a great console for my family but because I'm a... more.

'Killzone' has to be one of the most descriptive titles for a video game of all time. It captures the essence of this game perfectly because it's all about being in the zone and doing a hell of a lot of killing. At least it was up until now! We have just learned that Killzone Mercenary will offer gamers an alternative to blasting your way through every level. Some levels can be played with a s... more.

Something incredible happened today. Gamers all over the world woke up this morning and for the first time, this always divided demographic was united. There was unanimous agreement that X-Box sucks and Playstation rules and this ape was feeling even more cocky than usual because I've been saying that for ages and today I was proven right. Anyway, enough about me, my huge brain and my big s... more.

E3 has unleashed quite a few nice looking horror and zombie related games, which for the likes of me is a great thing as I cant get enough of the walking bags of puss. However, even if smelly dead people don't float you boat it is still worth your while checking out Telltales The Walking Dead game as it is really more about the people and their stories than it is about zombies. Those of us tha... more.

Both of the big kahunas have stepped into the ring and gotten out their meaty punching gloves, as you can view below in the press conference from Sony and Microsoft.  I would, as always, advise you to investigate the evidence and make your own conclusions, otherwise your just talking shite really. We here at GZ however never talks shite - we fling it and in doing our homework over E3 we have come... more.

At yesterday's E3 happenings, the mighty Bethesda confirmed that the forth coming MMO title set in the Elder Scrolls universe will be coming to both of the new generation of consoles. This is not the first time that an MMO has appeared on console. DC Universe made it's debut on the PS3 a few years back and has managed to hold it's on while many other games in the genre have fallen by the wa... more.

Missed the Ubisoft press conference? Fear not gentle soul as the internet's premier simian gaming troop have you covered. The video below contains the entire press conference in full with highlights including Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Watch Dogs and Tom Clancy's The Division. All of which look rather spiffing we think. Enjoy the show. ... more.

The global community of gaming sadists whipped themselves into a frenzy last night as we all got a look at some more evil, brutal and down right cruel video gaming in the form of Dark Souls 2. The follow up 2011's Dark Souls, a game which final brought back a genuine old school challenge to the masses, promises us just as much pain, frustration and probably as many broken controllers. Below... more.

I've seen so many different games in the last hour and a half during the Sony press conference. Too many to go into now when I should be in bed. But probably the biggest piece of information, the most important thing gamers wanted to know and perhaps the key thing which will win the console war for Sony; PS4 supports used games, does not require an online connection or a 24 hour online check-i... more.

The most impressive reveal during Ubisoft's demonstration at E3 2013 just might have been for 'Tom Clancy's The Division' - a new open world RPG from Massive entertainment set in the Tom Clancy universe. A third-person multiplayer shooter aims to serve two genres: the single-player action game, the the massively multiplayer online RPG. It's headed to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and you can see the... more.

  Ubisoft showed a new trailer for the upcoming Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag at E3 2013. It was all cut scene cgi, but it was pretty, so here it is nonetheless:   They also showed another cinematic trailer called the 'Horizon' trailer which hints at the open sea, underwater shipwrecks, untamed jungles, port cities and hidden coves contained in the new edition.   ... more.

At E3 this year, Ubisoft announced a version of Rocksmith called Rocksmith 2014.  On stage Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains demoed the newly featured  'Session Mode' which allows you to rock out with a virtual band that adapts to your jamming style. Kinect functionality was shown off, allowing the player to choose specific instruments to jam with. No mention as to whether it will support human... more.

EA closes its show with a rather pleasant surprise indeed; a brand new Mirror's Edge. The first game, while not perfect, was original and different enough to warrant some serious attention when it came out back in 2008 and has developed something of a cult fan base. I really got a kick out of the parkour and the visceral combat and gunplay felt fluid and satisfying. The promise of a sequel ... more.

EA have kicked off their press conference with footage of a new Plants vs. Zombies game subtitled "Garden Warfare". The game features brand new 3D, third-person action and co-operative gameplay. It looks like it could be a fun experience but it’s hardly the game the world has been waiting for. Garden Warfare - get it? It's no Battlefield.There's a pun in there somewhere.. Once the dis... more.

€499. That's how much an Xbox One will cost you. And it’s out in November. And it has games. Microsoft chose not to comment on all the controversies so unfortunately those debates will rage on for the time being but at least we now know the price of the console one way or another. It seems a little higher than people expected but when you factor in the bundled Kinect it’s probably about ... more.
