It seems fitting to start off this month’s eBay round-up by talking about the one eBay-related story that gained the attention of the press. A set of rare silver and gold Skylanders figures ended at a colossal $1,263 (£797) on 18th February. That’s on top of the £30 delivery charge the buyer faced. Another set …
The arcade scene has been diminishing for years, but fortunately apps like Midway Arcade exist to preserve our video gaming past. Nothing can replace the feeling of stepping into a dank, sticky-carpeted arcade with a gang of dubious youths loitering around a fruit machine, but most would argue that’s something to be thankful about. Bearing …
Our Kinect has been dusted off and the living room furniture has been moved around. This can only mean one thing – a new free game has been added to Kinect Fun Labs. The catalogue of gadgets on Kinect Fun Labs is quite large now, but most aren’t worth your time other than to unlock …
Uncharted: Golden Abyss has proven to be the most popular PS Vita launch title. No surprise there, but what is surprising is that together with FIFA Football – the second most popular title – the two took 50 percent of software sales. Uncharted: Golden Abyss took the top spot of the chart, while FIFA Football …
Beat Hazard Ultra looks fantastic, with its neon explosions and swirling backgrounds, and sounds – well, it sounds as good as your iTunes library. Which in my case is excellent, I’ll have you know. Here’s the twist: the soundtrack you choose is used to generate the on-screen action. More going on aurally means more going …
We’ve had our say on the PS Vita’s line-up, but to quickly recap Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf and FIFA Football are the ones that should be on top of your shopping list. Then there are a few decent conversions to consider if you don’t already own the originals – F1 2011, …
The PSP’s release schedule hasn’t been a picture of health for a long time, but with the PS Vita hitting Europe this week and Sony now focusing all their attention on their shiny new system the release lists look bleaker than ever. There are a few RPGs lined up for American gamers, and we may …
Looking through their back catalogue, budget publisher Midas Interactive released more games on the PSone and PlayStation 2 than some of the big publishers out there. It was certainly a case of quantity over quality though – you can count the amount of games worth playing on one hand. It’s really quite amazing that some …
It’s another week of change in the chart. Last week’s #1, Kingdoms of Amalur, drops all the way down to #12 while THQ’s UFC Undisputed 3 has gone straight to the top. It’s THQ’s first #1 since Homefront so they’ll no doubt be pleased as punch. FIFA 12, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Mario …
It’s no wonder that the PSP’s release list has been slimmer than a Peperami over the past year – Sony have been working their socks off to provide the PS Vita with no less than ten titles. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and WipEout 2048 are the two main system sellers but there are some other titles …
We see what Warner Bros. have done here and we approve. With the last Batman game only a few months old and another one already hinted at, rather than overuse the character they’ve decided to instead base a game around the Batman universe. There’s nothing we hate more than seeing a character or franchise milked …
The nominations for March’s BAFTA Games Awards were announced yesterday, and the portable category makes interesting reading. What was previously referred to as the Handheld award is now Mobile & Handheld, which neatly reflects the shift that seems to have occurred. In 2009 and 2010 it was all PSP and DS. In 2011, one mobile …
The last two weeks have been rammed with new releases. This week however is more like a typical February with just two releases of note – Tekken 3D Prime Edition and UFC 3. The 3DS already has two very fine fighting games, and if Nintendo Gamer’s review is to be believed, Tekken doesn’t quite manage …
We doubt that many people are planning to buy a PS Vita just to play a revamp of an old Amiga game, but we can’t argue that System 3 aren’t putting effort into the upcoming Putty Squad. The most interesting new addition is the ability to collect stickers by using the Vita’s GPS system. These …
Released: 1997 Formats: PlayStation, PC There was no doubting that Theme Park was going to be a success. It was colourful, fun and innovative and we’re sure that running an amusement park ranks highly amongst the dreams of children. But running a hospital? We’d imagine that 99.99% of all people who actually do run a …
