???????? ????? ????????I love the Daily Mail. Well, not love. I mean I like it. Well not like it. I’m ambivalent to the Daily Mail, well not ambivalent as such. I despise the Daily Mail. However sometimes they are so wrong that they’re funny. Like Hitler, or Lithuania’s entry into the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. …
While Ubisoft continue to employ increasingly complicated subtitles, Codemasters seem to be keen on simple, four-letter subtitles. First Colin McRae: DiRT, and now Race Driver: GRID. I approve. Further, I suggest that this pattern should continue. For example, their fancy new license could be used for Formula One: FAST. And everyone except me seems to …
Just two games of note this week – Race Driver: GRID and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Looks like the DS version of GRID isn’t out for another month yet. You didn’t know there was a DS version? Oh! On Wii there are another couple of rubbish budget games …
This is a little batshit crazy. Thankfully it seems fairly tongue in cheek, though just the idea of Guitar Hero on the DS with a hand grip add-on sounds hugely embarrassing.
Shazam! Wii Fit has vanished completely out of the top 40 chart. Clearly Nintendo are having trouble keeping up with demand, rather than everybody deciding to spend £70 at Burger King instead. GTA IV continues to hold onto the top spot, PC thing Age of Conan goes in at #2, Haze at #3 and Rock …
Renowned artist Maurits Cornelis Escher died in 1972, so not much, although if he were still breathing he probably wouldn’t be impressed with the artwork Sony has chosen for the European version of Echochrome – a game heavily influenced by Escher’s amazing artworks. That rainbow is false advertising – judging by the screenshots this innovate …
If you’re thinking that a game designed by Steven Spielberg would undoubtedly feature aliens, dinosaurs and robots – or even robotic alien dinosaurs – then you’re completely mistaken. Instead the stars are chunky block-like animals, but all signs suggest that these oddly sinister looking creatures aren’t anything to do with Spielberg as early builds were …
Thought £69.99 for Wii Fit was steep? EA’s Rock Band costs twice as much, although you do get drums, guitar and a mic. Game said they had trouble getting enough stock for pre-orders which goes to show that there’s demand despite the high price tag. It’s an Xbox 360-exclusive in Europe, at least for a …
The first batch of reviews for the oft-delayed Haze are in. Sadly, so far signs suggest that the delay hasn’t done the game any favours with a current average review score of 55% on GameRankings. This includes a poor 4.5 from IGN who claim that the story is weak, the AI poor and the visuals …
Greenpeace have again been shouting at format holders for not making games consoles environmentally friendly enough. Digital Spy’s headline? Consoles ‘contain hazardous chemicals’. My advice: don’t eat them. The BBC‘s story is less retarded. And Greenpeace do have a point: Nintendo are known to be bloody rubbish when it comes to environmental concerns, Sony don’t …
Brash Entertainment are yet to present the population with a decent video game, their previous efforts including the dismal Jumper and Alvin and the Chipmunks. It looks like their next game Space Chimps is going to be a real black banana too. How many clichés did you manage to spot? I counted 14, not including …
Hooray – Boom Blox has entered the chart on its second week of release at a not too shabby #21. Top Trumps: Doctor Who goes in at #22 and Speed Racer all the way down at #37. That’s a little bit of a shame as it’s the first decent movie license of the year. All …
Re-releasing a three year old PlayStation 2 game on Xbox 360 under a new name and with very few improvements of note sounds like a catastrophe in the making. But when that game is Beautiful Katamari? It’s something magical. Not everything has been recycled from We Love Katamari – there are new levels and music …
Knock knock. Who’s there? Doctor. Doctor Who? Yes! Top Trumps: Dr. Who for PlayStation 2 and DS is bound to sell better than last year’s Top Trumps games. A proper 3D action game would sell better still no doubt, even if it was a load of tosh. Silent Hill Origins on PlayStation 2, Dream Pinball …
