It would appear that Activision’s Spanish for Everyone really isn’t a game for everyone, featuring a highly dubious plot containing hidden sexual overtones. Furthermore, the “exceedingly racial stereotypes” have prompted a few complaints, causing copies to be returned to US stores. Ten year old Shaun catches a ride to Mexico with his Aunt to get …
At my college there was a large contingent of special needs students. Among the “needies” we had ‘Lurch’, a boy who was about seven feet tall and appeared to have his elbows glued to his body, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, a wheelchair-bound girl with a large hump on her back, and The Rock, who …
Bad news for EA, as unlike its two immediate predecessors, Need for Speed: Pro Street doesn’t debut at #1. It is #2, but then it’s supposed to be a bit poo, so that seems entirely appropriate – if needlessly childish. It could yet be Christmas #1 though, being supported as it is by a ridiculous …
One moment Midway claim that Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am won’t be released in the UK due to being of limited appeal, then the next thing we know there’s a copy coming through our letterbox completely without warning. And there was us stupidly thinking that publishers love getting press coverage for their games. …
The BBC’s Economics Editor and presenter of Dragons’ Den, Evan Davis, was this week confirmed as a regular presenter of Radio 4’s Today programme from next year. He could tell you all about supply and demand. So could games retailers at the moment. This week we had 1,400 Wiis disappearing from Amazon in 10 minutes …
An abundance of obscure Japanese RPGs aside, the PSP hasn’t exactly had the best of the best when it comes to software this year. Exclusive titles have been few and far between, and even when they do appear they often fail both critically and commercially. Sadly this top-down tactical shooter fails to buck the trend… …
They’re an odd couple, Kane and Lynch. One’s a “flawed mercenaryâ€, though perhaps better described as a brutal killer, and the other’s a paranoid schizophrenic, although perhaps better described as a foul mouthed paranoid schizophrenic mass murderer. We get the impression Eidos were trying to stir up a bit of controversy with the game’s main …
I’ve written about my love of Super Mario 64 – the best game ever, FACT – many times. But I’m definitely not assuming that Super Mario Galaxy isn’t as good without giving it a chance. So to prove it, after playing Super Mario Galaxy for only a few hours, here are three ways that it’s …
Alarm bells were ringing when the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine gave Need for Speed Pro Street an incredibly negative write-up, and it turns out they were right – US reviews have been less than great. It’s still tipped to be Christmas number one though, but I reckon Guitar Hero III could be in with a …
Like Stuntman: Ignition, TimeShift is another game that was once being published by the cash-strapped Atari but was flogged off to another publisher (Sierra in this case) to help with their money woes. It was initially due out late 2005 on the original Xbox but has since been delayed more times than humanly possible to …
Sega have had a rummage through their back catalogue and have decided to dust off a couple of old classics. House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return is set to follow in the footsteps of Ghost Squad on Wii, in that it’ll be billed as a Wii Zapper title. Going by the screenshots, House …
As the ever clever Matt predicted, Super Mario Galaxy hasn’t had an easy first week. It enters at only #5 in the multiformat chart – and splitting multiformat games into their individual versions, it’s still only at #3. Assassin’s Creed takes the top spot, the Xbox 360 version inevitably doing more of the donkey work …
There shouldn’t be anything too remarkable about another Ratchet & Clank game, but this is the furry Lombax’s first adventure on the PlayStation 3, and more notably, one of the best presented games “ever!â€. For once we can actually use that word with some confidence – this really is the closest gaming has come to …
There’s only one game out today that matters, and that’s Left or Right – Ambidextrous Challenge on DS. Only joking: it’s Super Mario Galaxy on Wii… although Crysis on PC and Assassin’s Creed – which has been getting mixed reviews – could very well hamper Mario’s chart position next week. If the reviews are anything …
Game Informer has been given the world exclusive look at Vivendi’s previously secret Ghostbusters game. Earlier on in the year Zootfly were showing off an unofficial demo – rumour has it they compiled it to put to publishers, in the hope that they’d get the license for them – but according to the magazine Terminal …
