A few months back we took a look at fast food endorsed video games and came to the conclusion that, despite the licenses having clear limitations, most turned out pretty well. Perhaps the developers were worried that they’d be banned from every McDonald’s and Burger King for life if the games they made turned out …
FIFA 12 – or Females Ignored For Another 12 months, as some people have cheekily titled it – is this week’s biggest release. Plenty of good things are being said, although 360 magazine pointed out that if you’re only playing it offline you’re going to miss out on the best stuff. There a rather informative …

If you follow the retro scene you must have heard of TecToy at some point. They’re the company who handled all things Sega in Brazil, not just publishing their games but also developing new ones and even managing to release a few unpublished games that Europe never saw. Just about anything with TecToy on it …
It pains us to say it, but there are developers out there who simply take on projects that are destined to be dire to save having to turf their staff out onto the streets. A fine example are studios signed up to make movie tie-ins on incredibly short deadlines, or asked to make a budget …
There’s no prize for guessing what game is at the top of the UK chart this week. You may not have guessed though that Gears of War 3 ranks as the biggest launch of this year so far, almost beating the launch week figures for Gears 1 and 2 combined. Codemasters’ F1 2011 makes a …
Six months ago I would have heartily agreed that Microsoft were doing the right thing by keeping the Xbox 360 going for a couple more years, especially considering the amount of unplayed games I have piled up is in double figures. The upcoming release of Battlefield 3 however has managed to change my mind – …
I’m not the type of person who goes around telling people that I’ll try anything once. This is because people’s response is often a lewd and predictable one. I will, however, try just about any game if it’s cheap. And so, it’s Tom Clancy’s HAWX and Cabela’s Trophy Bucks – purchased for £4 each – …
Chances are a few people out there aren’t too happy about Treasure’s legendary shoot ’em up arriving on Xbox Live Arcade. I’m talking about those who own the notoriously expensive Sega Saturn original – now it’s available as a download it’s likely that it’s going to fall rapidly in value. Those already well acquainted with …
We’ve brought this week’s new release round up forward a couple of days as this week’s biggest release – Gears of War 3 – is being released today. A Tuesday, of all days. Reviews hit the ‘net late last week. The Official US Xbox magazine gave it a perfect score of 10/10 while the Official …
Even with stock shortages and the likes of GAME and GameStation pumping the price up from £39.99 to £47.99 to take advantage of demand, Dead Island remains the UK’s #1. In the two weeks it has been out, it had already sold more copies than any of Deep Silver’s previous games. Incidentally, Deep Silver are …
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been met with rapturous reviews and chart topping sales. So it should be happy days at Eidos Montreal. Even better, Square Enix is reportedly looking to double the headcount at the studio. Apparently, the current office wouldn’t be able to accommodate that number of employees. So let’s take a jaunt …
Last week was an eventful one for new releases. This week? Not so much, but there’s a fair old bit of variety. Perhaps not for PlayStation 3 owners though, as their new releases aren’t actually all that new – they’re Splinter Cell Trilogy HD and God of War Collection Volume II. Eurogamer said that the …
It’s not often we see sale figures for Xbox Live Arcade games, but Gamasutra has managed to sniff out what title came out tops in Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade promotion. Even though it was the final game to be released, Toy Soldiers: Cold War came out on top with 160,734 copies. Fruit Ninja Kinect provided …
We always strive to bring you articles that are slightly different to the likes of Eurogamer and IGN. So, here’s a feature we don’t think has been done before: comparisons of the typical software released for a console at launch and near death. PlayStation Although we could go back as far as the cassette-based formats, …
