Looking back at our video archives, here’s a game that due to my forgetful mind never made the front page. Joe Danger, by Hello Games puts you in the shoes of the former as the world’s most dangerous and determined stuntman. Check out some old but thrilling footage and an interview from last year’s Eurogamer Expo after the break.

Here’s some footage of the game in action at the show. Ever wanted to create your own Evel Knievel-inspired stunts? Look no further and consider that wish granted.

Bouncing from boulder to boulder and ramp to ramp feels just as fun as it looks. Easy enough to pick up and play, it will require some skill to wrack up those combos and go for the high score. Jump in at any time to the game’s fully customisable level editor or race against your friends in the multiplayer mode, battling online or off.

“Joe Danger aims to recreate the childish joy of the first time you took a toy motorbike, doused it in lighter fluid, lit it, and launched it at high speed over your carefully constructed ramp out a second story window, while all the kids in the neighbourhood cheered below.”

Not something I can personally relate to, but what the hey? And not to be mistaken for a watered-down Trials HD clone (as we learn), the game, whilst still challenging tends to lend itself to be more fun, rather than frustrating. Coming in the form of a digital download we’re likely to see it appear on XBLA, PSN and PC – if not all three, at least one.

From what we’ve seen the game looks great and can’t be far off a release, hopefully Spring or “as soon as it feels right” according to the publisher. Check out their website for updates or stalk them on Twitter, we hear it’s the norm nowadays.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to take part in MAG‘s 256-man war, we did however have a stab at a smaller battle and can come out saying we thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of tweaking needs to go on in terms of balancing the weapons but it’s looking promising, as well as requiring a lot of co-operation, patience and headsets.

Being the first game I laid eyes upon, Bayonetta lived up to expectation and didn’t disappoint. Was this because it felt like Devil May Cry? Was it the fact she looked like a hot Sarah Palin? Or was it the giant dog that came from within her hair leaving her half naked? It was probably all of the above which can be seen in the video, above.

Despite our terrible performance in other games that day we did manage to get our own back in Lost Planet 2‘s Online Multiplayer, even if it meant spamming the Vital Suit Machine to do just that. You’ll sense some familiarity if you ever played Bionic Commando earlier in the year, the online multiplayer mode will feature up to 16-player versus, 4 player cooperative mode, and will contain game modes from the previous game.

Playing above is Alien vs. Predator, and we’re the first to admit we’re awful at it. I think at one point the rep walking us through it decided to wander off – I don’t blame him!

We had a word with the publisher (SEGA) whilst playing and were happy to find out the demo was specifically made for the Expo, unlike some old builds we came across throughout the day. Three multiplayer modes were playable on the show floor; your classic Deathmatch which by now shouldn’t need an introduction, Predator Hunt (a personal favourite of mine) pits several Marines against the one Predator, and Infestation where one player starts out as an Alien while (Marines) team up and try to survive, a sort of throwback to AVP 2′s Survivor.

Predator Hunt was a heap of fun, starting out as a Predator you’re forced to stalk your prey, and yes, staying invisible whilst sneaking around the map, picking off Marines one by one is just as fun as it sounds! The SEGA rep went on to say the game would boast a whopping three campaign modes (Alien, Marine and Predator) which are all completely different. With a 2010 release planned, Rebellion seem to have it in a good place, with plenty of time to give it that finishing polish to walk it head high into the New Year!

During our wander through the Indie Games Arcade at the Eurogamer last month, we had a chat with James Wright from Airplay after going hands on with their latest – Super Yum Yum: Baby Rescue.

Developers of the BAFTA-nominated Super Yum Yum series, Airplay UK are looking to create an established console brand. With a DSiware version slated for Christmas, and the chance of multiple console releases on the horizon the future is looking awfully colourful… and that much more delicious!

Thought it’d be fitting to end the show with a montage, huge thanks to the Eurogamer Expo and HMV who made everything possible, they really put a lot into this and it showed. Thanks to my team (you know who you are), without them none of this would have seen the light of the day. Enough of me yapping, enjoy the clip and we’ll see you next year!

Just got back from London’s Eurogamer Expo and boy was it worth it! We arrived on the Thames nice and early and were amongst hundreds of gamers already in line, eager to get their hands this year’s must-haves. Kudos to the door staff who managed to get the line moving at an impressive rate, it wasn’t too long before we’d gotten through registration, secured our wristbands and we were inside!

When it comes to these shows I don’t know where to start, which lead me running to the nearest booth and seeing Bayonetta in action. Like last year’s Expo the floor was spaced out perfectly, there were plenty of games and it never felt like you were too far from the next big title. It was nice to see the odd themed booth (see New Super Mario Bros. Wii) – if I remember correctly GameStars Live in 2004 had a bunch of these and they went down well with the fans. HMV was in attendance as expected and held a small retail space in the middle of the floor. Hey, a sponsors gotta do what a sponsors gotta do!

The ground floor was filled with sequels: Battlefield: Bad Company, Assassin’s Creed, Lost Planet and Red Steel were all trying to win the gamers over with their next installments, while a cornered off 18’s only area played host to the survival horror Left 4 Dead 2, PlayStation exclusive God of War 3 and many more.

The basement had various games on display, from Triple-A Titles like Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain to Relentless’ episodic murder mystery adventure Blue Toad Murder Files. What surprised me was a lot of already released content hogged up precious floor space while some Activision titles: Modern Warfare 2, DJ Hero and Tony Hawk: RIDE were all missing from a near complete lineup.

Upstairs the Career Fair made a return bringing you face to face with dedicated professionals from the likes of Rare, Ubisoft and Crytek to discuss career opportunities or offer one-on-one advice regarding the games industry. On the same floor was the Indie Games Arcade which packed a handful of unique games in a single room with the developers nearby to answer any questions if needed.

I missed out on the Developer sessions that took place all day, which made me wish I’d grabbed a ticket for both days, not only would I have been able to attend these sessions, seen Brink in action for the first time, snuck an exclusive look at Splinter Cell: Conviction but I might have even been able to trick Valve into talking about Portal 2 – just maybe!

All in all it was a great show, they bettered last year’s Expo and upped the atmosphere, from the sold-out venue to the tie-in of surprise celebrity appearances they did a tremendous job. I felt 2008 had a better selection of unreleased titles, but it was probably due to a lot of games missing the boat this year and opting for a 2010 release.

If you’re like us and can’t wait, or you didn’t manage to make it this time but would like to register your interest for next year’s show head on over to the website.

I feel like you’ve seen this footage 100 times already, it’s the same demo that’s on your hard drive by now and the same old thing Sony showed at E3, awesome nevertheless I might add. Incase you’ve just crawled from out a rock, served time in a federal prison, if shaky cams are your thing, or if you’d just prefer to see how we played it then this video is for you!

Didn’t manage to get my hands on the Wiimote seen as a lot of people were already in line waiting anxiously, so I decided to just watch from the sideline. The game itself looks bloody awesome and led me to purchasing a Wii MotionPlus the second I got home. Being dragged through the desert in first-person almost makes the game worth the 40 quid alone. You, the last remaining member of “The Protectors” are on a mission to avenge your fallen clan, revenge begins this Spring. Hit the jump for the video!
