Matt Gander Knock knock. Who’s there? Doctor. Doctor Who? Yes! Top Trumps: Dr. Who for PlayStation 2 and DS is bound to sell better than last year’s Top Trumps games. A proper 3D action game would sell better still no doubt, even if it was a load of tosh. Silent Hill Origins on PlayStation 2, Dream Pinball …
Oh dear – people are actually buying Sega’s utterly rubbish Iron Man game. It’s now at #5 in the chart, up 6 positions. The DS version though is apparently pretty good, so let’s hope that’s the one people have been buying. GTA IV holds onto the top spot, which is no shocker, with Wii Fit …
The PSP has been outselling the DS in Japan recently, with games such as Monster Hunter 2nd G and Final Fantasy VII Core Crisis proving incredibly popular. Over in the western world though things are starting to look stark, with publishers seemingly shunning the system. A glance at the release lists reveals absolutely no third-party …
The sinister looking characters aside, EA’s Boom Blox for Wii is apparently very good, scoring a respectable 9/10 from GamesRadar earlier this week. Speed Racer has been getting some respectable review scores too, which is surprising given it’s a movie license. Then again, it’s by the people behind the cult classic Gripshift, so perhaps that …
The charts are in for last week – GTA IV sold a crazy 926,000 copies in five days, with an estimated 609,000 of those being sold on launch day. Wii Fit has dropped down to #2, followed by Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Wii Play (yes, it’s still selling) and Mario Kart Wii. …
Wii Fit is making the press again, but this time in a bad light. It’s all to do with a 10 year old girl who was apparently traumatised after the game told her that she’s overweight. “She was devastated to be called fat,” a family member said over at DISBoards. “We had to work hard …
Whereas Nintendo have let their sprightly mascots settle their differences with a spot of fisticuffs in the Super Smash Bros series, Sega have instead opted for a friendly game of tennis. The term ‘superstars’ is pushing it a bit though. Sure, everybody knows who Sonic and Tails are but Gum from Jet Set Radio? Ulala …
Why not spend this bank holiday Monday going on an adventure? An adventure with a chap from Games Radar, as he attempts to untangle fifteen years of tangled up controllers and various other videogame cables. It’s one of the more original features to pop up on the internet recently. Or maybe the most pointless. You …
Everybody is playing GTA IV, so just two games are making their appearance this week. Even Microsoft felt it was pointless releasing a new Xbox Live Arcade game with people busy stabbing tramps and shooting pigeons. There are though a couple of cheat save disks for GTA IV out if you’re into that type of …
Wii Fit has proven to be a bit of a success story – it has gone straight to the top of the chart, and by doing so has become the 6th fastest selling UK release. Chart Track reports that already 1 in 10 Wii owners have splashed out £69.99 for the device and game, while …
Imagine Babies. The name alone prompted sniggers from juvenile internet types, but when the full game arrived in stores Ubisoft found it getting a lot of press coverage and all for the wrong reasons – the boxart featured a watermark from the photo site iStockPhoto. Apparently it would have only cost a mere $12 to …
Wii Fit is tipped to be the fastest selling Wii game in the UK so far. £69.99 does seem very steep but when it comes to losing weight people are always prepared to pay. Game are also cashing in with an anti-slip cover, at an absurd £14.99. No PlayStation 3 or PSP games this week, …
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has finally been dated for Europe. That date is June 27th. US gamers got it on March 9th, although we have had Mario Kart Wii before them. The WiiWare Channel has been given a date of May 20th, with games starting from 500 points, while a new Nintendo Channel – which …
If you get used to something you can instantly tell when it has been tampered with. Like the time somebody broke into my house and put cloves in my Coco Pops. Those that have been playing Mario Kart since it was half a screen high were feeling a bit dismayed when Nintendo wheeled out Double …
Despite shortages, Mario Kart Wii has managed to stay at the top of the chart for the second week running. UEFA Euro 2008 goes in at #8 – and will no doubt rise over the next few weeks – while Sega Superstars Tennis has risen from #11 to #5. Presumably because Asda are doing the …
