The last UK chart of 2012 saw Far Cry 3 taking the top spot, but this week it’s back down to #2 with FIFA 13 rising back up to #1. Since release FIFA 13 has been on the top of the chart no less than five times and it has yet to drop below #4. …
After being released in Japan seven months ago, Platinum Games’ outlandish brawler is finally with us and at a purse pleasing price to boot. We’d like to think that the cheap price tag is because Sega understand that most people are feeling the pinch during January, but we very much doubt that thrifty gamers come …
It might only be the first week of January, but there are still a few new games out to buy. You’ll need a credit card though – all of this week’s new games are downloads. There’s nothing out at retail until SEGA’s Anarchy Reigns is released next week. Retro City Rampage is the week’s sole …
The world of videogames can be an unpredictable place at times. Did we expect RAGE to be receiving a significant piece of DLC some fourteen months after release? No sir, we did not. Apparently the delay was due to the team being asked to help finish off DOOM 3: BFG Edition. Chances are we’ll never …
It has been a good week for Ubisoft. Far Cry 3 is this week’s UK #1, knocking Call of Duty: Black Ops II off the top spot. Not only this, but out of all the publishers Ubisoft has the most titles in the top ten this week with Just Dance 4 at #6 and Assassin’s …
Metacritic has been on the receiving end of some right old douchebaggery this year. Rest assured though that the scores below aren’t based on the site’s infamous user reviews. If that was the case then you would be seeing the likes of Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3 and FIFA 13 listed below, which currently have …
Has there ever been a game with a more causal name than Kinect Party? We’d argue that the Game Party series is a strong contender. Unlike Game Party though, the latest edition of which is currently stinking up the Wii U, Kinect Party isn’t soul crushingly soulless. It’s a sequel to Double Fine’s Happy Action …
Usually around this time of year we take a look back at a Christmas themed game. There’s no retro look-back this year though – we’ve gone with something a bit different, like Channel 4 broadcasting an Alternative Queen’s Message on Christmas Day. We think they still do that, anyway. We’re usually passed out on the …
It truly is the season of goodwill – Microsoft has bestowed upon us the ability to unlocked Xbox 360 achievements from the comfort of our iPhone. Hallelujah! That’s to say, Microsoft Studios’ free to download Wordament was released yesterday on the App Store and offers 10 Xbox 360 achievements worth 50G. It’s quite a significant …
This arcade conversion, which was originally released back in 2009, reminds us of a Dreamcast game. Not any game in particular – it’s just very similar to the experiences the Dreamcast had to offer, due to the fact that the console’s staple diet was mostly conversions of Sega’s arcade games. It even looks like a …
I’m sure we all remember The Incredibles’ back-story of superheroes giving up their jobs, due to being sued by citizens suffering from whiplash and such after being rescued. Double Fine’s free iOS download Middle Manager of Justice also taps into Pixar’s idea of going behind the scenes in the world of superheroes, giving you the …
According to online retailers the next release due out at retail is Sega’s Anarchy Reigns on 11th January. Those hankering for a new game shouldn’t despair though – there are plenty of new releases to download this week. A double whammy of Oddworld titles leads the way – Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD on PS Vita …
It seems very odd that in a time when it’s vital for a game to turn a profit, there are a still a few games released with very little publicity or fanfare. Games such as these, for instance: Of Orcs and Men – PS3, 360, PC We assume the title is meant to be a …
About ten minutes into this side-scrolling platform adventure, it dawned on us that it’s the spiritual successor to Blizzard’s The Lost Vikings. Similarities between the two are striking – both have a trio of heroes with similar skill sets that have to be swapped between to solve puzzles in mystical worlds. Seeing as Blizzard are …
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the UK’s #1 for a fifth week running, but what’s this at #2? It’s Hitman: Absolution all the way up from #6. This is likely to be because Agent 47’s latest is currently available for £19.99 at just about every UK retailer. Yes, even in GAME. FIFA 13, …
