Matt Gander The release of Metal Gear Solid 4 may not have done much for PlayStation 3 console sales, but has for some reason sent the value of older Metal Gear Solids sky-rocketing. Going by the current prices on Amazon Marketplace and eBay, the GameCube-exclusive Twin Snakes has been exchanging hands for in excess of £50, the …
Now these are cool: officially licensed Nintendo DS Star Wars lightsaber stylus. The three pack is set to retail at $8 (about £4 in real money), whereas the two pack costs $17 (£8) and actually light up. Give one to a pal and have a mini lightsaber battle!
Wired’s Chris Kohler was given the chance to play through Too Human – a game which started out as an RPG for the PSone before moving over to GameCube then finally Xbox 360. The gaming press have recently been billing it as Diablo for the Xbox 360 generation, but it would seem that calling it …
Out with the old, in with the new. That is, the four new entries into the top 10: Super Smash Bros. Brawl takes the top of the chart, Battlefield: Bad Company at #2, Big Beach Sports at an absurdly high #5, and Beijing 2008 at #9. Then at #14 there’s Guitar Hero Aerosmith and The …
Summer of Sonic, in the nuttiest of shells, is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan convention that’s being backed by Sega Europe. It’s being held 9th August at the Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust in Central London and is free to attend. Blue hair dye is optional. As well as some poor sap dressed up as …
Five years after its US release, European Wii owners finally get to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A word of warning, though – people have been experiencing the same problem that occurred with the US version. It’s all to do with fact that it’s the first game to come on a dual-layered Wii disk – …
Wondering why Rick Moranis won’t be supplying his high-pitched vocal talent for the upcoming Ghostbusters game? Sierra’s Ben Borth has the answer: “He made so much money off of Honey I Shrunk The Kids that he retired. He just doesn’t want to work anymore.†Just so you know, like.
Spore Creature Creator is the first PC game to pique my interest in a long time, even though it isn’t actually a game per se. The legend Jeff Minter – of Tempest 2000 and Space Giraffe fame – has been having fun with his copy recently, posting his bovine beauties on his blog. It looks …
Plenty of goings on in the chart this week, with one very big surprise in particular – Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on PSP going in at #10. Seeing that even God of War: Chains of Olympus failed to make a decent impact, it’s really quite unexpected. Alone in the Dark arrives at #3, while …
Everybody has had their say on GTA IV, so to see a review on these hallowed pages now would be more than a little pointless. However, not many words have been said about Cub3d – the playable puzzle arcade game found within some of Liberty City’s ‘adult establishments’. So we’ll review that instead. GTA: San …
It’s the 100th issue of the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine this month, but in a bizarre twist of fate they start the magazine by announcing that it’s going to be the final issue. Poor sales are likely to blame – the magazine has become a bugger to find over the last few months and a …
It looks like Alone in the Dark has turned out to be more than a glorified tech-demo, albeit only just. The average review score at the moment is 71 percent so it’s unlikely to be remembered as one of the best games of the year. The PlayStation 3 version has been pushed back a bit, …
Ubisoft have sneaked out Metropolismania 2 on PlayStation 2, the first instalment of which was released way back in 2002. Going by various sources on the internet, this sequel was quietly placed onto shelves last month. Possibly by spies under the cover of total darkness. I picked up my copy from Morrisons for a modest …
There must have been a lot of lucky dads on the receiving end of a shiny new DS on Father’s Day. That’s the only explanation possible for Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training and 42-All Time Classics shooting back up the top 40 chart. Solid Snake stealthily takes the top spot, pushing Lego Indiana Jones to #2, …
The original Ninjabread Man was a case of amusing name, rubbish game. It has sold well enough to warrant a sequel though… and Data Design Interactive wants your help. So if this one turns out to be rubbish too then it’ll be your fault. They’re looking for people to come up with ideas for weapons, …
