Nintendo of Europe have updated their site, and they’ve done a good job. You can now swap Stars for Wii Points. Four Stars will buy you a Wii Point, which seems reasonable. There’s also loads of new content in the Stars Catalogue, some of it even worth having, including cute pull-back Mario Kart toys made …
Adam awarded Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune full marks last week, so if you’ve got a PlayStation 3 or are hoping to find one under the Christmas tree it’s pretty much an essential purchase. Or at least a safe purchase. Medal of Honor Airbourne – a brand once exclusive to PlayStation – has also finally made it …
It being that time of year again – the end bit – it seems fitting to do a round-up article. We’ll write round-up articles about anything we will, bunch of cretins that we are, but today we’re specifically going to do a kind of “Best Of”, or more precisely, the ten best downloadable games available …
We don’t bother with every new game screenshot nowadays, but this is Street Fighter IV, so it deserves some of our attention. If you ask us, it looks pretty sexy, although hopefully the Manga style won’t look too naff. It shouldn’t look as funny as the Street Fighter: The Movie game though, which featured E. …
It’s official now, the PlayStation 3 will be getting DivX playback capabilities and full DivX certification. This came via an announcement from DivX, Inc. CEO Kevin Hell; “We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3. Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy …
Whether it’s morally right to enjoy playing a game where you can knock people down to the ground with a spade then use it to remove their head from their neck is questionable, but you can’t deny that Rockstar are the kings of controversy. They must have pretty big balls (or a brilliant marketing whore …
This could pass for games related news we suppose. Transformers director Michael Bay has posted a rant about the HD-DVD Vs Blu-ray situation, saying “Microsoft wants both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads”. It makes sense, and we kind of agree with him. Microsoft are …
Foreword: This feature was originally supposed to go up for Halloween, but we’re so lazy and useless it took us over a month to finally upload it against our better judgement. Robots. They’re pretty good to shoot to bits, especially when their nuts and bolts bounce around all over the place. Terrorists? A little bit …
In a bizarre but mesmerising piece of online marketing, Nuts magazine (probably with the involvement of Nintendo) have produced a series of Topless Wii videos – a dozen videos featuring topless Page 3 ladies playing Wii games, with the help of copious amounts of Baby Oil. As far as we could make out, the aim …
Despite being a bit clapped out, Need for Speed: Pro Street has managed to take the top of the chart, knocking former #1 Assassin’s Creed all the way down to #6. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has done better in its second week of release too, rising seven places to #7, while Super …
Usually when there’s a company merger in the midst there’s a few rumours beforehand, but today Activision dropped a bombshell – they’re planning to merge with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro license-holders Vivendi. Let’s not forget about the recently announced Ghostbusters game, and the already announced Prototype and Wet either. Vivendi of course also own World …
With December now upon us, you might be trying to think of some decent Christmas gift ideas. It just so happens that Play-Asia has something you might like to stick into somebody’s stocking – the rather long winded Sega Mega Drive Portable Video Game Player. Clocking in at just under £20, this officially licensed handheld …
How Shiny have fallen – from Earthworm Jim and MDK, over to a tedious looking kid’s licensed game. Sega said they’d be disappointed if The Golden Compass – based on this winter’s big movie – didn’t at least take the top spot of the PlayStation 2 chart. But with no review copies sent to the …
