EA’s Dead Space 2 manages to cling onto the top of the chart for the second week running. That’s followed by FIFA 11, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Black Ops and LittleBigPlanet 2. It’s good to see LittleBigPlanet 2 still sticking around – usually titles of niche appeal rank highly then swiftly vanish. At …
Yet again I’m having a love/hate relationship with eBay. On Thursday I sold a Sega GameGear game; the (French) buyer had zero feedback, but I wasn’t too concerned over this. We all had zero feedback at one stage, right? Two days later I received an e-mail entirely in French, telling me that the buyer was …
When Microsoft rejigged the Xbox 360’s dashboard they hid the Indie Games section away in a dark and dusty corner. The community rebelled and now the Indie Games section has been moved to a place where it’s impossible to ignore – you have to scroll past it to get to the popular demo section. Since …
This week would have been all about vastly improved RPG sequel Two Worlds 2, but as reported by Eurogamer it has been delayed not once but twice over the last few days. It’s now pencilled in for a 25th February release, due to a large amount of stock being wrecked on route from China to …
Now this is a game that I’m glad I wasn’t asked to review – I can’t decide if it’s the ‘best worst game ever’ or the ‘worst best game ever’. Confused? Of course you are. Just trying to describe it gives me brain ache – it’s a murder mystery, set in a quiet American town, …
Nintendo has revealed that Donkey Kong Country Returns has managed to shift over 4 million copies worldwide since being released on 3rd December while 1.5 million copies Art Academy on DS have been sold so far. I expect that’s more than what Mario Paint on the SNES ever managed to sell. The two aforementioned now …
So far this year we’ve had a new #1 every week. Last week it was LittleBigPlanet 2; this week it’s Dead Space 2. The original only managed to get to #6 in the chart, so well done EA. I think this proves that games can sell well even in the dark and depressing month of …
Namco are releasing Atari Greatest Hits on Nintendo DS within the next few weeks or so. GAME say 4th Feb while TheHut reckons it’s out 18th March, so it all depends on which online retailer you trust. It’s set to include 50 games – three of which were previously unreleased – but it’s not the …
There are three cheery and colourful games out this week and one violent and grizzly. Well, you could count the Yogi Bear movie tie-in as a grizzly game I suppose. Arf! That violent game in question is Dead Space 2, which has set lots of tongues waggling…and all for good reasons – it improves on …
The rumour mill has been churning for the last few weeks, with talk of the PSP2 being as powerful as a PlayStation 3 and launching with a Virtual Jeremy Clarkson game. Now the day and hour has come – 3PM January 27th 2011, Japanese time – and Sony are unveiling the next portable PlayStation to …
Every month we trawl eBay’s completed listings to find stuff of interest that has sold for vast sums. Why? Nobody knows the answer to that, man. Even though Christmas was only a month ago, somebody still managed to find $2,425 (£1,516) to bag a complete set of American Dreamcast games. For their cash they got …
Super sequel LittleBigPlanet 2 has managed to take the top spot of the all formats chart this week. Shoving Call of Duty: Black Ops off the top must surely feel like an achievement for Media Molecule. Or should that say ‘like a trophy’? Probably not, as that wouldn’t make much sense. With the bleated PlayStation …
It made me smile when websites started speculating that the Kinect could end up being another Sega 32X. This is because similarities between them are vast – the Sega 32X also promised a new gameplay experience, bolted onto an already existing console, required software especially developed for it and was designed to extend the life …
If there’s one game that has been making reviewers smile recently it’s LittleBigPlanet 2. This time round you’re not limited to just making levels to explore but full arcade-like games. All well and good, but there’s a chance Sony might yank your creations if they’re too close to the arcade originals – somebody made a …
The 3DS conferences are done and dusted – the cleaners are sweeping away the empty Red Bull cans and cleaning the sweat marks off the demo models as we type – so it’s time to mull over the facts. The facts: Europe will gets the handheld, in a choice of blue or black, on 25th …
