According to a poll in one of the red top newspapers, videogames are high on the list of things that women choose to buy for their partner on valentine’s day. Seeing as Aliens: Colonial Marines is the only retail release this week, we wouldn’t be surprised if a fair few loved up gamers are going …
Last weekend news broke that the new issue of Game Informer magazine contains the first ever review of Dead Space 3, where it was awarded a 7.75. This turned out to be a massive filthy lie – they did in fact give it 9.75 and claimed it to be one of the best games of …
It’s the end of the month and for some it’ll be the first payday of 2013. So, there are plenty of games out this week, right? Nope, just three. Luckily for those still paying off Christmas presents purchased with their credit cards, Hitman Trilogy HD and Omerta: City of Gangsters are both less-than-full-price releases. The …
It’s not exactly a brilliant week for new games. That’s as far as retail releases are concerned at least – there are just two titles out, both of which were released in the US a few months ago. These are Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth on Wii U, which mysteriously slipped from the launch line-up, …
Last week gave us hack and slashers Anarchy Reigns and Ninja Gaiden: Razor’s Edge, and this week we’re on the receiving end of another – DmC: Devil May Cry. As fans of the genre, we couldn’t have asked for 2013 to have got off to a better start. Reviews of the franchise reboot appeared online …
After over a month of no new releases at retail, there’s finally something out you can run to the shops and buy – SEGA’s Anarchy Reigns. At £19.99 – or slightly cheaper online if running isn’t your new year’s resolution – it won’t break the bank either. Why is it only twenty quid? We have …
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 …
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 …
From what we can ascertain, the only game arriving at retail this week is Agricultural Simulator 2013 on PC. We’re pretty sure you don’t want to hear 400-odd words about that, so here’s a round-up of what’s available in the world of downloads. The Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials expansion hits Xbox Live this week for …
We wouldn’t go getting too excited about this week’s new releases. Far Cry 3 was the last major release of 2012, so it’s just dribs and drabs for now until things pick up again next year. Paper Mario: Sticker Star is worth a look though. Reviews surfaced online quite a while ago to tie-in with …
It’s a very good sign when a publisher hands out review copies to press way before a game’s release. Reviews of Far Cry 3 surfaced last Tuesday – a whole ten days before this Friday’s release. No doubt this was in order to drum up a few extra pre-orders, fuelled by the steady string of …
It’s not such a bad thing that American gamers got hold of their Wii U consoles almost two weeks before us Europeans. In those two weeks reviews of nearly all the launch games have appeared online, giving us a heads up of what to fork out for come this Friday’s launch. Before we round-up review …
Hitman: Absolution has been a long time coming, so this week’s Tuesday release is no doubt a godsend for those who have been looking forward to it. Worth the wait? Yes… well, maybe. Like a lot of this winter’s big releases, reviews have been mixed. So far scores include 5/10 from Videogamer, 7s from both …
Call of Duty: Black Ops is the best selling Call of Duty so far, beating even Modern Warfare 3, so it makes sense that Activision has chosen to give it a sequel. In fact, all of the Call of Duty games have sold so astonishingly well that it would make sense to make sequels to …
What are the scores on the doors for Halo 4? A curious mixture is the answer. The highest score we’ve seen is a lofty 9.8 from IGN, followed by 97% from GamesMaster magazine. At the opposite end of the scale sits EGM’s 7.0 review, who panned the shooter for being too similar to the previous …
