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...

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...

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...

As expected, Grand Theft Auto IV is breaking records and making headlines on its launch. In the UK alone, it sold 609,000 copies on launch day, making it the fastest selling game in the UK (a 20% sales increase over GTA: San Andreas). It’s expected to sell around...
