Jake Greenpeace have again been shouting at format holders for not making games consoles environmentally friendly enough. Digital Spy’s headline? Consoles ‘contain hazardous chemicals’. My advice: don’t eat them. The BBC‘s story is less retarded. And Greenpeace do have a point: Nintendo are known to be bloody rubbish when it comes to environmental concerns, Sony don’t …
Can you imagine this: a game for the Nintendo DS, made up of short mini-games, which you’re supposed to play for a little while every day in order to improve some faculty? It’s an original idea the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Except of course I’m lying. There are approximately as many brain …
Patapon is like Space Channel 5 all over again. It looks pretty groovy, and yeah, it’s rhythm action, but it’ll be fine. Then I play it. And I remember how shit I am at rhythm action games. Actually, it’s worse than that: it’s also like Advance Wars all over again. I have absolutely no patience …
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Wii recently, and its surprising success. Richard wondered last week whether it could bring an end to the console war. I don’t think it’s dominant enough to do any such thing, but more than that, I think it would be a really bad thing if it did. One …
Nintendo can’t really cope with being popular, can they? After years of not exactly failure, but certainly not runaway success, they’re probably just out of practice. Mario Kart for the Wii is the latest product looking like it might be scarce. Gameplay.com had presold their entire initial allocation by midweek; Play.com and Amazon.co.uk have none …
Do you remember a year or two ago, Sega couldn’t stop buying and opening Western development studios, in the hope that the result would be more games appealing to the North American market? Well that’s starting to crumble already. Britain’s own Sega Racing Studio – based in Birmingham – only managed to produce the rather …
I only ever played the original Mario Kart on Daniel Johnston’s SNES. He was the kind of delightful child who would play ‘Saturday Night’ by Whigfield every time I went round, knowing full well I hated it. Still, he was called Johnson’s Baby Lotion at school, and that wound him right up. The fact that …
There are only three games out this week if Game are to be believed, and I’m going to believe them even if they aren’t to be believed. So I have no choice but to introduce each of them through the medium of poor quality haiku. Condemned 2 is out PS3 and 360 Sega therefore good …
I really do have a lot of respect for psychologists, but early studies can be a bit of a case of pointing out the bloody obvious. Two studies publicised by the British Psychological Society this week fall firmly into that category, unfortunately. First up, those favourite subjects of online games and violence. People who play …
Yes, well done on coming up with the most irritating name for a Tom Clancy series yet: Tom Clancy’s HAWX. It’s meaningful though, honest! It’s short for ‘High-Altitude Warfare’. And, er, ‘Xanadu’, probably. Yeah, it’s set in 13th century Mongolia. That’s definitely it. At least it’s an air combat game, so is likely to be …
Thought you’d had enough Wii puns to last you a lifetime? Wrong: it’s the Mario Kart Grand Wii! Unfortunately, it’s just a competition being held at 30 Game stores on Saturday 5th April, before the release of the game the following Friday. There a ridiculous looking Mario Kart Volkswagen Beetle up for grabs, amongst other …

The Video Appeals Committee today announced that the result of their reconsideration of the Manhunt 2 appeal remains that the appeal against the rejection of the work by the BBFC is upheld. It’s a very convoluted sentence, but one that means just one thing: Manhunt 2 is being released in the UK. The BBFC is …
Project Gamerz (yes, it’s a terrible, terrible name, but let’s move on) is a project set up by the Metropolitan Police, involving various technology companies including XLEAGUE.TV – where you’ll find a PDF press release you should at least skim-read. As far as I can gather, it’s basically the police putting on gaming sessions, to …
Well, some sections of the BBC News website anyway. Alright, not hardcore sections like Europe, where people even care about stories in non-English speaking countries. But we can at least do better than Also in the news. Though there is a games story on that page today. Damn it all. In the Business section is …
