Hundreds is confident: it sees no reason to explain itself, and assumes you’ll figure it out. That’s admirable, but there’s a fine line between confidence and, well, being a prick. Thankfully, Hundreds isn’t a prick – most of the time. And it’s right, you will figure it out. Touching a circle makes it grow, and …
It’s not just the weather that’s currently freezing in the UK – the top five titles in the top 40 are in identical places to last week. This means that FIFA 13 is #1 for a second week running. SEGA’s Anarchy Reigns manages to make an impact in the top 20, placing at a not …
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’s time for another of our regular look backs at a video game magazine of old. This time our incessant rummaging around the attic has unearthed Future Publishing’s unofficial Dreamcast magazine, DC-UK. Word – by which I mean Wikipedia – has it that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe stopped Future Publishing from pitching for the official …
Legends of Chima is latest toy line from the purveyors of the popular plastic bricks, and this free iOS download is the first of three tie-in games. Although we can understand why there are three games in the pipeline, seeing as they’re all due on different formats, we can’t comprehend why a game which has …
The last UK chart of 2012 saw Far Cry 3 taking the top spot, but this week it’s back down to #2 with FIFA 13 rising back up to #1. Since release FIFA 13 has been on the top of the chart no less than five times and it has yet to drop below #4. …
Another stop on our non-stop tour of the gaming world via Google Street View. Yes, that definitely makes sense. 2012 was not a good year for THQ. Edge carried a rather good summary of their year as one of their Stories of 2012 last week, but in short: job losses, financial losses, studio closures, holding …
After being released in Japan seven months ago, Platinum Games’ outlandish brawler is finally with us and at a purse pleasing price to boot. We’d like to think that the cheap price tag is because Sega understand that most people are feeling the pinch during January, but we very much doubt that thrifty gamers come …
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 …
The world of videogames can be an unpredictable place at times. Did we expect RAGE to be receiving a significant piece of DLC some fourteen months after release? No sir, we did not. Apparently the delay was due to the team being asked to help finish off DOOM 3: BFG Edition. Chances are we’ll never …
It has been a good week for Ubisoft. Far Cry 3 is this week’s UK #1, knocking Call of Duty: Black Ops II off the top spot. Not only this, but out of all the publishers Ubisoft has the most titles in the top ten this week with Just Dance 4 at #6 and Assassin’s …
Metacritic has been on the receiving end of some right old douchebaggery this year. Rest assured though that the scores below aren’t based on the site’s infamous user reviews. If that was the case then you would be seeing the likes of Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3 and FIFA 13 listed below, which currently have …
Has there ever been a game with a more causal name than Kinect Party? We’d argue that the Game Party series is a strong contender. Unlike Game Party though, the latest edition of which is currently stinking up the Wii U, Kinect Party isn’t soul crushingly soulless. It’s a sequel to Double Fine’s Happy Action …
Usually around this time of year we take a look back at a Christmas themed game. There’s no retro look-back this year though – we’ve gone with something a bit different, like Channel 4 broadcasting an Alternative Queen’s Message on Christmas Day. We think they still do that, anyway. We’re usually passed out on the …
Yes yes, it’s Christmas Eve, but there’s still a chart to briefly glance at. In fact, more than that, there’s the Christmas chart to briefly glance at. So let’s glance. Briefly. Not only is Call of Duty: Black Ops II the Christmas number one, but it’s also the first game this year to top the …
