The creators of the vastly popular PlayerUnknown’s Battle Grounds made gaming news headlines last week, taking legal action against a handful of games mimicking PUBG a little too closely. One clone features a frying pan as a melee weapon, while another uses the term ‘Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner’ in their marketing. Both are under heavy …
We were planning to pen a Skylanders eBay round-up to tie-in with today’s release of Swap Force, but aside a store display case and various variants selling for £100+ there isn’t much to report on. So with Pokemon fans currently trying to catch’em all in Pokemon X/Y, we’re instead going to look at various Pokemon …
North America is still waiting for the boxed release of New Super Luigi U – we in Europe got it last month. Still, at least they’ve got this Luigi branded train to make up for it. It celebrates the curiously late launch of the game later this month, and the wider Year of Luigi. That …
We could start this article by sharing our views on the morality of luring children into fast food resultants via free toys, but then we remembered our tagline: “finding the fun”. That subject would be precisely no fun at all to discuss. One, believe it or not, allowed you to mould a moustache out of …
When the late Michael Jackson sung “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white,†he may as well have been talking about Pokemon Black and White 2. Pokemon Black 2 entered the UK chart at #3 while Pokemon White 2 arrived at #5, but even if their sales were combined they wouldn’t have beaten fellow …
This week can only be described as being like a ‘special dream’ for Nintendo fans – not only is there a new piece of hardware out, but also half a dozen or so new releases to go alongside it. Oddly, the 3DS XL launches this Saturday rather than on Friday as you may expect. The …
Mario Kart 7’s arrival means that there are two 3DS games in the top 10 this week – Mario Kart 7 at #8 and Super Mario 3D Land at #10. After the photo above was taken, Reggie was told to stop messing around and go back to work. Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call – …
Shenanigans! I declare SHENANIGANS! A couple of weeks ago, our new release round-up carried the headline Portal Kombat – because Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat were released. Very clever, you’ll agree. Today, Chart-Track have used the same headline for this week’s chart news. Blatant thievery! Either that, or it’s quite an obvious play on words …
Even with the 3DS mere days away, Nintendo fans still managed to find £30 to purchase either Pokemon White or Pokemon Black. The former sold the most out of the two, taking #1 in the chart and shoving Killzone 3 off the top. Pokemon Black goes in at #2 while EA’s Fight Night Champion punches …
THQ has a new peripheral out this week for you to consider – the uDraw ‘Gametablet’ for Wii. It’s £49.99 on Amazon with uDraw Studio – a price that I don’t think is too steep seeing how much DJ Hero and Wii Fit were when they were first released. Joining it are Pictionary and Dood’s …
This Week’s Games There’s no Bond movie this year yet there’s not one but two James Bond games out this week. If the early reviews are to go by then it’s GoldenEye 007 on Wii that’s the one to spend your golden coins on. GoldenEye 007 scored a lofty 9 on IGN but they only …
UK Charts Publishers – if want your new videogame to sell, simply stick the word ‘just’ in the title – Just Dance has gone back to the top of the top 40 chart this week, while Just Cause 2 drops to #2. New DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has helped it go …
UK Charts Nintendo’s battling monsters show no sign of loosing popularity – Pokemon: Soul Silver goes in at #2 this week with Pokemon: Heart Gold at #4. I would have placed money on it being the other way around. Square-Enix’s Just Cause 2 takes the top spot of the chart but if sales of the …
This Week’s Games A fan of Lost? Then you might be interested in Just Cause 2 (if you weren’t already) – apparently there’s an island that pays homage to the Lost island, complete with a hatch and a smoke monster. I haven’t seen any 9s dished out for it yet, but there has been plenty …
