This arcade conversion, which was originally released back in 2009, reminds us of a Dreamcast game. Not any game in particular – it’s just very similar to the experiences the Dreamcast had to offer, due to the fact that the console’s staple diet was mostly conversions of Sega’s arcade games. It even looks like a …
I’m sure we all remember The Incredibles’ back-story of superheroes giving up their jobs, due to being sued by citizens suffering from whiplash and such after being rescued.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the UK’s #1 for a fifth week running, but what’s this at #2? It’s Hitman: Absolution all the way up from #6. This is likely to be because Agent 47’s latest is currently available for £19.99 at just about every UK retailer. Yes, even in GAME. FIFA 13, …
A few Wii U games were curiously absent from the European launch. It’s frustrating as the reasons why we can’t have the likes of Scribblenauts Unlimted, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Sing Party – despite them being available in America – are pretty trivial. Rayman Legends is another one delayed from the launch line-up, …
If there’s one thing we can guarantee about Christmas, it’s that the jokes inside Christmas crackers will so atrociously terrible that not even those heavily intoxicated on brandy butter will laugh at them.

We very much doubt that Future Publishing’s offices are full of seasonal cheer at the moment – this week sees the final issues of Xbox World and PSM3 go on sale.

“Now that Riptide’s release date is fast approaching we need to sort out our boxart.†“Oh, I’ve got a painting I did at Sixth Form College back in the ‘80s that we can use. I was really into Rambo at the time.†“Yeah, that’ll do.” And that’s the story behind Dead Island Riptide’s awful, awful …
Featuring such attractions as Buckingham Palace and The London Dungeons, ZombiU represents a good way to experience London from the comfort of your own home.
