Adam Philbin How about converting your PlayStation 3 into a laptop? I’m not quite sure what to make of it. On the one hand, well done that man for spending 14 months squeezing his PS3 into a new case. Though, it does look wrong – not the design so much, rather the notion that someone would need …
For a variety of reasons (laziness, real life, not being bothered) I have quite a few games lying around that I should have reviewed by now. Some I spent a great deal of time playing a few months ago, but never got around to actually writing any words about (such as Assassin’s Creed and FIFA …
The other day I was listening to some games journalist go on about games piracy. His view was quite clear; ‘pirates are bad, don’t pirate games you wouldn’t buy, pay for your games or burn in hell scum’. I understand his view, though he like me gets the majority of his games for free via …
Occasionally I’ve toyed with the notion of creating a GA podcast. Fortunately I’m too lazy to bother with such an idea and fear that it would end up awful, aside from the lack of a professional recording studio. However, I do enjoy listening to the odd gaming podcast nowadays (and whatever the video ones are …
As you can probably tell, the site has changed a little. In part, thanks to a messed up software update, and also just due to our fickle nature. We’ll be trying to restore service to normal over the coming hours and days, albeit with a camp new look, but in the mean time you should …
Slight shock-horror – Gran Turismo 5: Prologue has reached the top of the all-format charts, making it the fastest selling PS3 game to date and possibly the first PlayStation 3 game to take the chart’s top spot – perhaps, we haven’t actually bothered to research that, feel free to find out and correct us. The …
Good news motor fans – the European edition of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue will have a special bonus, in the form of an unlockable Ferrari F1 car. It’s the one from the 2007 season, and it looks very nice indeed. So there, almost a justifiable reason to go out and pay money for a game …
For the handful of people who might be interested in such a thing, our forum is back online now. We did briefly remove the forum and hope the comments section would take its place, but we didn’t count on the spambots posting hundreds of messages each day proclaiming “boiled! swastika mellowed? vital resistant brim, scorching …
That’s right, NiGHTS is coming to the PlayStation 2. Not some strange kiddie-fiddler wii-mote re-interpretation, but a nice little re-release of the Saturn original, with a slight lick of paint for the visuals. You could just consider it a retro re-release or something, but whatever man. The purple flared hermaphrodite is coming to Japanese PS2s …
Brief and vague summaries are what we’re about, so here’s a quick round-up of the latest PSP news and some of the updates on the PlayStation Store. » PSP firmware 3.90 is out now. The big news is that it includes Skype. So now you can use your PSP to chat with people overseas and …
Last week Resistance 2 appeared on our radar, impressing us (well, me) with its fancy pants and 8 player online co-op. This week some official shots have been uploaded, and it’s looking mighty nice. Parts of it bare an uncanny resemblance to Crysis, but with the nice “1950s Alien Invasion” theme that Resistance does well. …
Resistance: Fall of Man did take something of a beating from critics and the public at large – even though despite it’s overuse of brown and grey it was actually pretty decent. “It’s not as good as Halo!” they cried, even though five years prior the same people were describing Halo as a poor sci-fi …
Just to reiterate what we mentioned last week, this week sees no new releases. Nadda. Well, it’s to be expected with Christmas just a few days away. Some online stores have already started their Christmas/New Year sales, such as play.com and all the other usual suspects. If you’re looking forward to January’s new releases, the …
It’s official: Britain really does get screwed over on console prices. Today the new various coloured 40Gb PlayStation 3 models have been released in Hong Kong, costing less than a British Wii. The 40Gb model costs just HK$ 2,680, or £170 in real money. That’s £70 (or HK$ 1,100) less than the older 60Gb models, …
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 …
