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 …
It being that time of year again – the end bit – it seems fitting to do a round-up article. We’ll write round-up articles about anything we will, bunch of cretins that we are, but today we’re specifically going to do a kind of “Best Of”, or more precisely, the ten best downloadable games available …
We don’t bother with every new game screenshot nowadays, but this is Street Fighter IV, so it deserves some of our attention. If you ask us, it looks pretty sexy, although hopefully the Manga style won’t look too naff. It shouldn’t look as funny as the Street Fighter: The Movie game though, which featured E. …
It’s official now, the PlayStation 3 will be getting DivX playback capabilities and full DivX certification. This came via an announcement from DivX, Inc. CEO Kevin Hell; “We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3. Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy …
Whether it’s morally right to enjoy playing a game where you can knock people down to the ground with a spade then use it to remove their head from their neck is questionable, but you can’t deny that Rockstar are the kings of controversy. They must have pretty big balls (or a brilliant marketing whore …
This could pass for games related news we suppose. Transformers director Michael Bay has posted a rant about the HD-DVD Vs Blu-ray situation, saying “Microsoft wants both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads”. It makes sense, and we kind of agree with him. Microsoft are …
