It was rumoured a few months ago that the next Star Wars Battlefront would be a single format exclusive. It was assumed by pretty much everybody that this format would be Xbox 360, given its huge online user base. We’re quite surprised to learn, then, that the format on the receiving end of Star Wars …
Kratos isn’t a very nice man. This unsettled some people the first time around, as games in the past, such as Knights of the Old Republic and Fable, have always granted you the choice of being good or bad. Kratos though was bad to the bone, angst ridden and remorseless. This sequel is no different …
Simpsons games have a tendancy for being utterly rubbish or uninspired, so we’re not getting too excited over EA’s announcement of The Simpsons Game. On the plus side, the television show’s script writers are involved and it’s said to be heavy on authentic dialogue and animation. Though the actual game is split into sixteen episodes, …
Publisher of little note Crave Entertainment have announced a Napoleon Dynamite tie-in for Nintendo DS and PSP. Why? I have no idea. What? There are no details, and frankly I can’t begin to imagine what they’re going to produce. “It’s one of those films that has great memorable lines and characters, and we expect that …
» Nintendo have finally announced a date for the EU release of Metroid Pinball. It’s the 22nd June, over 18 months since it was released in the States. Twats. » Activision have announced a new Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. There’s even a website which suggests it’s based on the movie and the Green …
Blade Interactive – best known for various snooker sims – are turning their hands to something new: a survival cum adventure game, set on a luxury ten storey sinking ship being attacked by terrorists. Don’t worry about their ball-based heritage: they’ve been sneakily recruiting staff who have worked on the likes of Splinter Cell and …
Despite not being very good, Spider-Man 3 has taken the top spot of the top 40. It’s #1 in the 360 and PlayStation 2 charts, #2 in the Wii chart (losing out to Wii Play) but oddly only #16 in the DS chart. We say oddly, as going by the reviews it’s the best version. …
Nintendo have recently decided to put video samples of all of the Virtual Console games up on a special website. The videos are only 30 seconds long and aren’t available on the Wii Shop channel itself, but it’s a start. Hopefully we’ll see full demos soon. That over with, let’s get on with the round-up. …
Some crazy websites are talking about the possibility of the PlayStation 4 being released in 18 months time. Some more rational websites have taken this rumour and speculated, rather reasonably, that Sony might have a revised PlayStation 3 model in development. It sounds realistic enough – the rumour is of a new PlayStation model, using …
To celebrate the release of Mr Biffo’s Confessions of a Chatroom Freak today (what with Digitiser being the spiritual deity of this site’s predecessor), here’s our first and potentially last embedded Youtube video. So sexy!
Square Enix have a habbit of re-releasing old Final Fantasy games, and as such you’d be forgiven for thinking this was yet another re-release. Final Fantasy III is much more though – superficially at least, it’s a beautiful remake of the seventeen year old NES original. Better yet, it’s the first time the original Final …
“Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can†goes the theme tune to the cartoon series. Funny – we must have missed the episode where Peter Parker climbed up a plug-hole then got stuck in the bath as he can’t run up the sides, and then got squished with a bit of toilet roll. And theoretically …
Being sent something in the post for getting a high score isn’t unheard of – back in the 80s Activision used to send out sew-on patches to those that set new records on certain Atari 2600 titles. You could then get an adult to stitch them on to your BHS jacket and show them off …
The Official Xbox 360 Magazine isn’t the best of reads, and with the ability to download demos for free via Xbox Live there’s almost no reason to buy it at all. It’s no bolt from the blue, then, that Future has had to come up with some type of bribe to make people subscribe. A …
GAME are now closer to having a monopoly on the UK highstreet, as they’ve bought out Gamestation for £74 million. MCV have some more on the story, talking about financials and shareholders. This is unlikely to be good news for anyone – smelly as many Gamestation stores were, they were GAME’s only direct competition. Many …
