The Internet's Intellectual Badass
For those twenty-somethings and older, we most probably remember playing a game of Super Mario Bros. on the ol’ NES, and remembering that it was simply awesome. Basic, but awesome. Nintendo had finally brought true family gaming to the living room. All over the world, badly dressed 80s gamers were getting to grips with a character that was going to be stuck in the forefront of Nintendo’s...

Story So it is another Bioware game, if you have played their other games it’s pretty easy to guess what’s going to happen here. You are a main character, you start of insignificant then you have greatness thrust upon you (The Spiderman phenomenon) and you have to defeat a supreme evil. This time it is all thanks to a bunch of crazy monks making deals with demons. The main aspect of the...

Hey all, I’ve been bored over christmas so i decided to see if my PS3 Bluetooth Headset would work with my very elegant wireless/bluetooth board (ripped from a 6 year old Medion PC) and WIndows 7. So i managed to pair the headset with windows 7 (amazing considering the age of the card) but then ran into trouble when looking for a driver. Then i spent about 2 hours trawling through forum...

Hey all, it’s been a while since I’ve submitted Wuup content, but here I am. Back in business and ready to drag another game title through Jigsaw’s house to see what comes out the other side. So, after a year’s absence, and two Wiis later, I’ve got myself a copy of Wii Sports Resort. What could be considered the true sequel to the flagship (well, freebie) Wii Sports included in the...
read moreSo here we are another super hero game release. Will it follow the generic path of previous games based on them? Will it be like the jaw dropping poor Superman 64? Well thankfully it is not so, it has been quite a pleasant surprise to find this game is actually good. The game begins like this, you are batman, there is joker, madness ensues and you have to save the day. All set in the lovely...
read moreSome of you may be familiar with rapid prototyping. It is a concept i learnt from the Experimental gameplay project, specifically this article by Kyle Gabler, Kyle Gray (2D Boy, World of Goo), Matt Kucic, Shalin Shodhan. Rapid Prototyping is a great way to develop new ideas quickly. I use rapid prototyping all the time whether it be in AS3 or Javascript, a game or an application. Whilst game and...
read moreJust recently I was fortunate enough to win a copy of Jason Teague’s book in a small competition he ran on Twitter. It was simple enough: post a tweet with the link to his site and advert for the book and the #SIS tag; Be one of the following numbered tweets (1st, 5th & 10th) and you won a copy. Just as I saw this, my internet connection went up in smoke (thanks Virgin Media – Virgin...
read moreAt Wuup we are always a few months behind, not having the huge budget or time, to review games as they are released. We usually have to wait till we can borrow, find cheap, rent or steal each game to review. Recently i’ve managed to get a hold of Mirrors Edge by Dice (Battlefield 2) for the PS3 and i thought i’d share my thoughts with you. Mirrors Edge is a game about free running, a...

So, here we are, another “PS3 vs Xbox 360” article. This one however is not intended to slate either system. This article is simply a feature comparison of the hardware and software for people to read and make there own judgment. At the time of writing i’ve been through 2 RROD with my 360, but I still like the system very much. and personally PC gaming beats the crap out of consoles...
read moreAs a few of you may know, recently Bill and I (Alan) journeyed to a place which could be mistaken for Mordor, to tear it up on the slopes of Scotland with snowboarding. Whilst there we planned to do some gaming on our laptops using the ‘wonders’ of steam. So we made sure we had all the games installed on the laptops, ones which would run well, L4D, Defcon and Multiwinia. Great we...
