With the figures selling out quickly and Activision drip-feeding details of Skylanders: Giants in order to get fans in a frenzy, Skylanders fever is very much in full swing. We’ve noted before in a previous eBay round-up how a few of the rarer figures have sold for large amounts, but a quick look at eBay’s …
Following on from last week’s post about three long lost N64 games being preserved online, this week has seen the ‘preservation’ of the previously unreleased Game Gear puzzle game Crazy Faces. The release comes from the almighty SMS Power, a website dedicated to preserving everything 8-bit and Sega flavoured. Crazy Faces was in development in …
Many gamers rejoiced when Telltale Games arrived on the scene, and rightly so – their aim was to rejuvenate the then-dead point and click adventure genre. Their licensed games have received mixed reviews in the past, with their last game – Jurassic Park – critically mauled. There’s no need to worry though. This is Telltale …
Prototype 2 is the UK’s new number one this week, but it’s not all good news for Activision – it hasn’t sold as well as the last game did during launch week. It has however shifted more copies than the last two number ones – The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and Kinect Star Wars. …
It has come to our attention that… …various videogame characters are being held hostage… …inside glass prisons on Brighton Pier. Thank goodness for disposable income, eh?
Nintendo made the real news this week, with news that they’ve made their first ever annual loss. Ever the helpful sort, I thought I’d employ Street Viewtiful – out vaguely regular jaunt around the gaming globe via Google Street View – to look around their properties to see where they might be able to save …
After the manic month of March, April has been somewhat sedate when it comes to new game releases. Activision’s Prototype 2 ends this month with a bang though. It was released on Tuesday to tie-in with the US release and no reviews were allowed to be posted online until Tuesday either. The Official PlayStation Magazine …
There’s nothing like selling yourself short. The front of the box for this retail Xbox Live Arcade collection proudly boasts of containing eight games but there are in fact nine – Final Fight: Double Impact contains the often forgotten hack and slasher Magic Sword as a bonus. We can understand why Capcom have done this …
With the developers of Flatout at the helm we always expected this Ridge Racer reboot to be something special. While the single player mode isn’t quite as lovely as we’d hoped – it’s a Ridge Racer game in name alone and thus lacking in identity because of it – the track building tools give it …
Even though the original was never released on consoles, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has tackled FIFA Street off the top of the chart. FIFA Street consequently drops to #2 and is followed by FIFA 12, Kinect Star Wars and Mass Effect 3. There are no other new entries in the top 40. Disgaea …
Considering it’s a movie tie-in our odds for Battleship being good were stacked oddly high in its favour prior to release. Double Helix are behind it, and their track record is better than most, including last year’s polished Green Lantern tie-in as well as the fairly decent Silent Hill: Homecoming. The fact that the movie …
Three long lost Nintendo 64 games have surfaced on the ‘net in the form of playable ROMs. All three were in development at Looking Glass Studio, who handled the N64 versions of both Command & Conquer 64 and Destruction Derby 64, but were canned after the studio hit troubles. Mini Racers was pretty much finished …
Just three new releases this week, folks. The Witcher 2: Assassin’s of Kings is the big one and was actually released on Tuesday to tie-in with the US release date. That’s unless you shop at Tesco, who accidentally put it out on Friday in most of their stores. Word has it they got a slap …
Cast your mind back to 1993 for a moment. The internet was still in its infancy, the Mega Drive and SNES were wooing gamers, and the most up to date source for gaming news and reviews were the copious amount of magazines that filled row upon row of a newsagent’s shelving. Then along came Digitiser, …
Contrary to popular belief, Sony’s ‘PSP Essentials’ brand isn’t just for budget-priced re-releases. Over the past year or so a trio of PSP Minis collections have been released, each containing five games. Four of the games are on UMD while the remainder is download only. You can also download all of them to either a …
