…Call of Duty 4. Which isn’t very festive at all, really. But since when has a Christmas #1 had anything remotely Christmassy about it? Probably never. Assassin’s Creed takes second place, followed by The Simpsons Game, FIFA 08 and Need for Speed Pro Street. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games – last week’s #1 …
Just to reiterate what we mentioned last week, this week sees no new releases. Nadda. Well, it’s to be expected with Christmas just a few days away. Some online stores have already started their Christmas/New Year sales, such as play.com and all the other usual suspects. If you’re looking forward to January’s new releases, the …
Adam had a relatively easy job compiling a collection of the best games on the PlayStation Network – the service has only been around for a year and new releases have been sporadic at best. Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade though has been around for nearly twice as long with new releases appearing every Wednesday like …
There are plenty of minigame collections for the Wii, but whether any are truly great is debatable. There’s good reason to have faith in Emergency Mayhem being the definitive party pleaser though – here the minigames are connected by Crazy Taxi-style arcade driving sections, which should give it a fair bit of depth. The name …
When the usually reliable Ubisoft announced that they were going to start doing more movie licenses we first thought that this would be a good thing, and when the slick King Kong tie-in game arrived we thought that it was indeed a very good thing. Then came the distinctly average Open Season, followed by the …
Mr Blue and Mr Red and Blue are at #1 for the second week running, but I’ve got a feeling that Call of Duty 4 might end up being the Christmas #1, as it’s half price (£24.99) at Gamestation this week. Speaking of which, Activision’s war wager is currently at #2, with three from EA …
After the undeserved success of Ninjabread Man and Billy the Wizard on Wii, Data Design have decided to convert the rest of their PlayStation 2 back catalogue to Wii for release on their Popcorn Arcade brand. Have a little look at this promotional video – it’s meant to show the games in their best light, …
It’s a brilliant week for new releases. Brilliant, if you’ve been waiting for Spyro: The Eternal Night on Wii, Beowulf and The Golden Compass on PSP, Mr. Bean on PlayStation 2 and The Orange Box on PlayStation 3. Because that’s all you get this week. It’s like the annual summer game drought all over again. …
“You get what you pay for†is a saying that often rings true. Just look at McDonald’s faeces filled 59p hamburgers, or those rubbish £9.99 PlayStation 2 games. When Nintendo does a budget game though, they still apply the same polish as they would on a full price effort – see Endless Ocean for proof. …
Patapon is from the minds behind LocoRoco. A February 2008 release has been announced for North America. It looks excellent. There’s no UK release yet – so unlike LocoRoco it seems we won’t be getting it before our friends across the Atlantic – but those three facts are all I need to know to import …
It’s official: Britain really does get screwed over on console prices. Today the new various coloured 40Gb PlayStation 3 models have been released in Hong Kong, costing less than a British Wii. The 40Gb model costs just HK$ 2,680, or £170 in real money. That’s £70 (or HK$ 1,100) less than the older 60Gb models, …
A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this game. Some, since the day they collected the final star in the revolutionary Super Mario 64. Some have waited since their watery adventure in Super Mario Sunshine five years ago. Others have been excited since the announcement of Mario’s Wii incarnation. How ever …
Don’t think anybody saw this coming – Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is #1, knocking Need for Speed Pro Street into second. Mario Party 8 is back in the top ten too, due to being half price at GameStation last week. It even outsold Super Mario Galaxy, currently at #13. Rayman Raving Rabbids …
Nintendo of Europe have updated their site, and they’ve done a good job. You can now swap Stars for Wii Points. Four Stars will buy you a Wii Point, which seems reasonable. There’s also loads of new content in the Stars Catalogue, some of it even worth having, including cute pull-back Mario Kart toys made …
Adam awarded Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune full marks last week, so if you’ve got a PlayStation 3 or are hoping to find one under the Christmas tree it’s pretty much an essential purchase. Or at least a safe purchase. Medal of Honor Airbourne – a brand once exclusive to PlayStation – has also finally made it …
