If this week’s chart is anything to go by, people are desperate for rubbish war games and painfully dire mini-game collections for Wii. Carnival: Fun Fair Games is up from #16 to #6, while Game Party is hanging around just outside the top ten at #11. Turning Point – which seems have to scored mediocre …
The Video Appeals Committee today announced that the result of their reconsideration of the Manhunt 2 appeal remains that the appeal against the rejection of the work by the BBFC is upheld. It’s a very convoluted sentence, but one that means just one thing: Manhunt 2 is being released in the UK. The BBFC is …
Does the world need another Wacky Races game? Eidos must think so, having announced Wacky Races: Crash & Dash on Wii and DS earlier this week. It’s the third Wacky Races game in recent memory. In fact, Blast Entertainment shoved one out just last year on PlayStation 2 for £9.99, which gives us some idea …
It’s a busy week for releases, with the multiformat allegedly above average Spiderwick Chronicles being our tip for the top. Well, it’s bound to make it into the top ten at least. There’s also Turning Point: Fall of Liberty on 360 and PlayStation 3, which has been getting some appalling reviews, and FlatOut: Head On …
I once went to a party at my friend James’ house. Unfortunately I got really drunk and ended up heaving up on the garden. I felt pretty bad. Then his mum handed me an ASDA bag and asked me to clean it up. What gives? It was the garden. She could have just hosed it …
For the handful of people who might be interested in such a thing, our forum is back online now. We did briefly remove the forum and hope the comments section would take its place, but we didn’t count on the spambots posting hundreds of messages each day proclaiming “boiled! swastika mellowed? vital resistant brim, scorching …
Seriously, it’s rubbish – Eurogamer gave it lowly 1/10 last week. But there it sits at #7 in the chart. There’s a new #1 though – EA’s Army of Two, which is a bit of a surprise seeing as it hasn’t had that much coverage in the press since a poor showing a few months …
Yes, that’s a childish headline but what you going to do? Nothing, that’s what. Or maybe let out a schoolboy-like laugh. It’s only the Wii and PSP receiving Destroy All Humans 3: Big Willy Unleashed this week though – the PlayStation 2 version felt the wrath of THQ’s recent cutbacks. Bully: Scholarship Edition is another …
Have you noticed that there are already an abundance of obscure RPGs on the PSP? Congratulations – you’re smarter than most of the publishers out there. This one tries to stand out from the crowd by featuring dozens of super-sized lizards and, well, that’s about it really. Koei aren’t exactly known for innovation – just …
There’s no new number #1, with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games staying on top for a sixth week in a row, but there are three new entries in the top ten. Lost: The Videogame goes in at #3, Frontlines: Fuel of War at #4 and the Xbox 360 RPG Lost Odyssey at a …
Project Gamerz (yes, it’s a terrible, terrible name, but let’s move on) is a project set up by the Metropolitan Police, involving various technology companies including XLEAGUE.TV – where you’ll find a PDF press release you should at least skim-read. As far as I can gather, it’s basically the police putting on gaming sessions, to …
How weird is this: there are three games out this week with ‘lost’ in the title. There’s the Ubisoft’s tie-in of the perplexing TV series, the apparently quite good Xbox 360 RPG Lost Odyssey, and an incredibly belated conversion of Lost Planet for the PlayStation 3. Impressions of Lost seem pretty mixed so far, but …
The popularity of the Famicom (the Japanese NES) in the Far East can’t be underestimated. Nintendo themselves only discontinued repair services for the Japanese console last year. The last official release for the system was in 1994 though, in the form of Adventure Island IV, but since then a flow of pirate carts have steadily …
Well, some sections of the BBC News website anyway. Alright, not hardcore sections like Europe, where people even care about stories in non-English speaking countries. But we can at least do better than Also in the news. Though there is a games story on that page today. Damn it all. In the Business section is …
Three new entries in chart land this week – Unreal Tournament III at #9, FIFA Street 3 at #11 and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity at #37. Sega have been a bit cheeky with Sonic Riders – the PlayStation 2 version is only £19.99 (although it can be found for £14.99 on the internet) but the …
