Poor Wii owners. You look at the 360 and PS3 kids madly downloading songs for Rock Band, and a single tear rolls down your soft, porcelain cheek. You feel left out. Well, no longer! After a few technical hiccups, the Wii’s Rock Band store is now open and ready for your patronage. There are 50…
Are you the type to forgo personal experience of a title as a means of determining a title’s worth in favour of the opinions of a gaming publication? Are you pumped for Street Fighter IV? Well, then, you’ll be chuffed to know that the first reviews for Capcom’s hotly-anticipated fighter are in. And they are…
In a rare act of charity, British sales outfit ChartTrack have teamed up with retailer GAME to provide total lifetime sales figures (ie all sales, not just GAME sales) for this generation of hardware. And GUESS WHAT? The Wii is on top. Followed by the 360. Followed by the PS3. Shocking, surprising, the works, we…
Over the holiday season, Global420 was bored. Global420 likes toys, and he likes Left 4 Dead. So he combined the two, and threw together some custom Left 4 Dead figures. There are nine zombies (including a Hunter in DYNAMIC ACTION POSE), along with two survivors: Bill & Louis. Louis is almost perfect, barring an uneasy…
Nintendo games at the top. So let’s move on. Get a look at the bottom of the charts! Halo 3! Call of Duty 4! Let’s party like it’s 2007, Britain. OK, back to the top now. See the two versions of FIFA? Now tell me how many versions of Pro Evo are up there. The…
Game sneakers? Old news! But it’s new news for EA Sports and the Skate series, with skate company Etnies unveiling a new sneaker designed to cash in on the impending launch of Skate 2. They’re called the RVM Skate 2, and should be out in the US later this month at Zumiez stores, with an…
Golden Signals know you have a problem. You have an extensive porn digital movie collection, want to watch them in the living room but don’t have a PC connected to your TV. What to do? You buy Golden Signals’ $50 “Display Share”, that’s what you do. Display Share is a PC program that, once installed,…
Look at him go! Punch, kick, punch, Hulk Hogan leg drop…we may not be able to understand a word of Yakuza 3’s trailers, but combat like this speaks a universal language.
It was a good run, Lich King. What, seven weeks at the top? Well played. But even a WoW expansion could only hold out against The Sims for so long. Meanwhile, on the Steam charts, Valve’s decision to open up the store to EA’s wares seems to be paying dividends for all parties involved. NPD…
Just Cause was fun! Fun in parts, anyway. Also had its fair share of problems. Rather than doing the old “we’ll fix em for the sequel” thing, though, the developers are trying something different. Avalanche are taking the genre they worked with on Just Cause, and scrapping the rest. No more islands, no more slick-back…
Most exciting thing about CES wasn’t the games on show. Wasn’t the TVs, wasn’t the phones, wasn’t even the virtual sex…thing. No, it was the epic Microsoft v Sony v Capcom Street Fighter IV battle! Well, the dust has settled on the fanboy apocalypse, and a clear winner has emerged. And that winner is… Capcom!…
The Writers Guild of America know video games can have good writing. And last year handed out their first video game writing awards. This month, it’s time to hand out their second awards.

Killzone 2 looks pretty great! Also, however, looks pretty grey. And grey = bleak. Which is why director Mathijs de Jonge promises that the final game won’t be as drab as early screens suggest. Speaking with CVG, de Jonge says: The first images that we released were just from one level that was still in…
You had any problems with Left 4 Dead on PC? I haven’t. Sure some of you have, though, so you’ll be heartened to hear that a patch for the game will be out this week. That’s according to developer Chet Faliszek, at any rate, who’s been posting on the game’s forums. Seems “this patch got…
We’ve heard how Age of Conan is in a state of decline. Now let’s look at how it’s in a state of decline. In particular, how over half the game’s servers are to be shuttered. Funcom have announced that during the week, the total number of servers for the game will be reduced from 49…
Would it be crass of me to say Fat Princess could well be the most promising PlayStation 3 game of 2009? Course not. Because it looks like an absolute blast. It’s the diversity that nails it. It’s not just brawling; it’s the base-building and strategy, the subtle blending of Castle Crashers, Command & Conquer and…
Guitar Hero’s big business. Multiple versions, multiple consoles, it’s a big hit. But are you prepared for just how big a hit it is, or for how important it is to publishers Activision? Well, according to Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith, Guitar Hero III has become the first single game in the history of the…
2007. CES. Microsoft get a few people excited with mention of an IPTV service for the 360. British Telecom will be the first to offer it. Years pass, however, and we hear nothing. Until now! The subject has again popped up, again at CES, and…things haven’t gotten very far. Microsoft are still saying squat (SQUAT!!)…
The Xbox 360 has “premium themes”, which will tart up your 360’s menu in exchange for money. A premium theme based on Braid has just been released, and costs money. And Braid’s creator is sorry. Sorry that it costs you money, anyway (it’s a nice enough looking theme). Writing on the game’s blog, creator Jonathan…
Few months back, there was a rumour Neversoft – creators and sole developers of the core Tony Hawk series – had been taken off the franchise by Activision and replaced by startup Robomodo.
