Sega may have you thinking Sonic 4 is on the way, but really, it’s already here. It was released in 1996. For the Super Nintendo. This is a game called “Sonic 4”, a hack which took the existing Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos (by Sunsoft) and added some extras to it. Like Sonic, Sonic’s rings,…
Just Dance ahead of Mass Effect 2? Sort it out, Britain. I don’t care if you have to hit the streets shouting, placards in hand, you sort this out. Chart regulars aside, you’ll see a healthy debut from Dante’s Inferno there at numbers five & six, suggesting EA’s brawler may have a little more clout…
Machinarium isn’t just a great game, it’s got one hell of a soundtrack, which although already available digitally and on CD, can soon be purchased on something a little more collectible. This limited release of the game’s soundtrack is a full vinyl LP, containing 14 songs (though not the ones on the game’s bonus EP),…
Gran Turismo developers Polyphony Digital have released a tally of lifetime sales figures for the series, useful not only for armchair statisticians, but also those curious as to how well Gran Turismo PSP has performed. Turns out it’s done quite well for itself, selling 1.8 million copies since being released last year. Which is great…
While chewing over people’s various endings for Mass Effect 2 the other day, one thing that struck me was how many different romantic options you guys had been pursued. And it got me all curious. **SPOILERS AHEAD** See, I played the game once, and that was it. The way the story unfolded was “My Story”,…
If there’s one thing this trailer for the upcoming Prince of Persia movie shows, it’s that maybe video game adaptations haven’t sucked because they had the wrong people. Maybe they sucked because they never had this kind of money. The movie, which also stars Sir Ben Kingsley, will be released in May. Click to view
Like some other 360 titles like Dead Rising, Mass Effect 2 has tiny text, which users on small TVs and with poor eyesight are having trouble reading. Is BioWare going to fix the problem? Nope. Just like Dead Rising, it’s no easy fix, and since BioWare feel it affects only “a small portion of SDTV…
Last we checked, Sony was losing money on every PS3 sold, at $37 a pop. Checking in this week, we find the company is still losing money on every PS3 sold. But now, it’s only $18. Yes, having reduced the functionality and the size of the console, and benefited from natural declines in the cost…
And I don’t mean chewing tobacco or shooting Mexicans, either. I mean rounding up animals, with a lasso. Course, these are horses, not cows, but “Horseboy” sounds equal parts silly and adult…
Six weeks after it arrived on the North American PlayStation Store, PAL users can finally relive what I, at least, think is the best Final Fantasy game of the lot: FFVIII. It’s the standout addition to this week’s store update, though there’s plenty of other good stuff to tempt you, from the Aliens vs Predator…
When the football World Cup begins later this year, EA’s FIFA series will be cashing in with an officially-licensed World Cup game. And what will competitors Pro Evolution Soccer be doing? Why, releasing an unlicensed World Cup game, of course. Announced only for the Japanese market, Winning Eleven Aoki Samurai no Chosen will put the…
Microsoft’s decision tonight to end online play for all original Xbox consoles and games marks the end of an era in console gaming. Let’s take a minute to remember those titles who tonight gave their lives. Being the first successful platform for online console gaming (sorry, Dreamcast), the Xbox was home to many good games…
While most (but not all) multiplayer games on Facebook at the moment are crude, simple affairs, one developer is looking to release a full-fledged 3D shooter onto the social networking platform. 3G Studios, which has worked on games like SWAT: Target Liberty on PSP and…the Jillian Michaels game on the Wii, is currently developing Brave…
According to a report from Forecasting and Analysing Digital Entertainment (FADE), Xbox Live Arcade is becoming quite the healthy source of income for Microsoft. Based on FADE’s estimates, during 2009 the service racked up $103.4 million in revenue, an increase of 34% over 2008’s figures. This may have been helped by a rise in the…
Microsoft announced tonight that online play for original Xbox consoles and titles – including those played on an Xbox 360 – over its Xbox Live service will soon be discontinued. The axe will fall on April 15, and will bring an end to years of online play for games like Halo 2 and…whatever other original…
Isn’t he just adorable? Collectible company NECA will later this month be releasing these plush toys based on BioShock 2‘s “Big Daddy”. Well, not the Big Daddy himself. They’re based on the hand-made toys cobbled together by the game’s Little Sisters. They stand around 7″ tall, will sell for around $25, and from the looks…
Most high profile games these days have a regular edition and a collector’s edition. Yakuza 3, however – at least in PAL territories – will only have a collector’s edition. Making it regular! Sega announced today that only one version of the game is to released in Europe and Australasia, with that version given a…

There have been some good Star Trek games over the years, yes. But you know what? There hasn’t been a really great one. And I think I know why. Before we go any further, let me get this off my chest: I don’t like Star Trek. I find it cheap, I find it boring. There’s…
Reader BilliousB, a resident of Montreal, heard about a local artist that specialised in airbrush work. So he grabbed his PS3, tucked his love of Dead Space under his arm, and paid the man a visit. This is the end result, an amazing, one-of-a-kind PS3 that features the USG Ishimura – “star” of EA’s sci-fi…
