Just as we predicted under a month ago, FIFA 14 will be appearing on Wii but not Wii U. To add further insult to injury, it’s also being released on PlayStation 2 and PSP. Yes – PlayStation 2. If last year’s efforts are to go by though, EA won’t be spending a great deal on …
Microsoft didn’t so much pull a rabbit out of the hat for their E3 conference, but rather a whole warren’s worth of them – the return of franchises new and old, and surprises galore. Apart from a short SmartGlass demo, the conference was solely about software and began in the best possible fashion – in-game …
Capcom’s futuristic third person adventure Remember Me has had a far better launch than EA’s new IP Fuse, entering the UK chart at #3. This sticks a firm two fingers up at the publishers who refuse to believe there’s a demand for titles with female protagonists. Incidentally, Fuse has now left the top 40 entirely …
Grab a jar of granulated coffee and a spoon – E3 is about to begin, and it should be a corker. Well, better than last year’s damp squib at the very least. Microsoft kicks off the conferences tonight at 17:30pm (UK, GMT). With the Xbox One already unveiled all signs point to Microsoft focusing solely …
The kindest thing you can say about The Devil’s Cartel is that it works. Moving from one ever-so conveniently placed piece of cover to the next is a breeze and your AI controlled team-mate listens to and acts upon your every command, like a well-trained pet. The main bad guy is known as ‘El Diablo’ …
With Capcom now focusing development back onto their internal studios, chances are Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 will be amongst the last titles from their collaborations with Western developers. Although the jury is still out on Lost Planet 3, it’s safe to say that Remember Me has turned out far greater than the likes …
You’d have to be either very dumb or incredibly naive to deny that Dumb Ways to Die is a blatant clone of Nintendo’s Wario Ware. Unlike many of the App Store’s copycats though, it’s very easy to look past the plagiarism on the account that it has clearly had a bit of love and attention …
The tech press is getting in a right froth over smart watches. Honestly, don’t they remember the Game Watch? The calculator watch had been around since the 1970s, and a decade later the next step was the game watch. US company Nelsonic Industries was at the forefront of this exciting technological frontier. The games were …
An era of self-discovery has come to an end – the Official PlayStation Magazine UK will no longer include a demo disc. Back in the days of the PSone and PlayStation 2, firing up the latest OPM cover disc and discovering a hidden gem – or even finding out a game is less rubbish than …
Well-received racer Grid 2 has got off to a flying start – it’s the UK’s new number one. Codemaster’s last game to take the top spot was F1 2010, fact fans. Chart-Track however notes that sales are down 29% over the original Grid which entered at #2 five years ago. Last week’s #1 Resident Evil: …
A quest to find a copy of Fuse today proved fuseless. Sorry, fruitless. Admittedly, we didn’t stroll into GAME – the one place that’s almost guaranteed to be stocking EA’s new shooter – but Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s all appear to be giving it a miss. It was revealed last year that supermarkets now …
One of the more unusual stories to break after the Xbox One reveal was that Microsoft has patented the ability to unlock achievements by watching TV. One obvious use is as an incentive to tune into certain shows and films. It’s not an idea that’s massively new – there have been movie trailers on Xbox …
If there hasn’t been a new shooter from EA released every month this year so far, then it certainly feels like it. Fuse is this month’s offering, which originally started out under the guise of Overstrike. The squad-based shooter was then given a major overhaul, with a catchier new name to boot. It’s Insomniac’s first …
It’s the narrator of this four-player co-op shooter who steals the show. The incredibly camp chap mocks your every death and often goes off topic, even starting one match by talking about his commute to work. If this doesn’t tell you that God Mode has a pleasingly daft streak, then we don’t know what will. …
Capcom have bagged their second #1 of 2013 – Resident Evil: Revelations. The first was the Devil May Cry reboot, back in January. Curiously though the HD conversion is classed as a re-entry in the UK top 40 due to sharing the name of the 3DS original. It also claims the top spot in the …
