Big, big update for the PAL PlayStation store this week, with a host of quality PS3 games, demos and even a couple of downloadable PSP games you might be interested in. Headlining the week’s update is of course Marvel vs Capcom 2, arriving in a far more timely fashion than it’s HD predecessor, SSFIIHD. Those…
Retail tracking company Chart-Track have released an updated set of figures for the British market, revealing how many units of the Nintendo Wii and DS (all versions) have been sold since launch. The figures show that while the Wii has a pretty sizeable install base for a country of 60 million people, it’s got nothing…
Don’t look now, but Rockstar’s borderline mythical music title Beaterator is coming, it’s coming this year, and it’s coming to the PlayStation Portable. Rockstar sent the word out this morning that the music creator, which has long been kept under wraps since first debuting as an online time-waster, will be out on September 29 in…
Wii title Monster Hunter 3 came out of the gate like gangbusters in its first week this August, selling half a million copies. So why is it already in the bargain bins? The Monster Hunter series on the PSP has been one of the real success stories — not just for the PSP, but Capcom.…
It appears that after nearly two years of talk (and little else), cult create-a-racer Trackmania is finally making its way onto the Nintendo Wii. It’s been announced that Firebrand Games – the team behind the recent Trackmania DS – are on development duties, with the game set to make a public appearance at Germany’s big…
There’s also a custom box creation. French modder darthchris13 whipped up the creation and then compared it size-wise to a SEGA GameGear. The SNES Portable sports a 2.5 inch screen, and according to darthchris13, the tricky part was getting all the SNES wiring into such a small casing. Nice work. Une magnifique Nintendo SNES Portable…
As seen on Giant Bomb.
Welsh-speaking people, game developers Arberth Studios needs your help. Instead of shelling out £16,500 (US$27,000) to have its game professionally translated, the studio is asking for the next best thing: Free help. The title, Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches, is based on medieval Welsh folk tales. “We have to try and translate this game…
A common complaint these days when it comes to downloadable content is that there’s too much of it that makes a game easier to play/complete. Paying to cheat, basically. Paying to make the game harder, though, that’s different. A new piece of DLC has been released today for Mega Man 9 called “Superhero Mode”. It…
Developer Bungie is including three Halo 3 multiplayer maps in a add-on disc shipping with the upcoming Halo 3: ODST. The new Heretic map revisits Halo 2‘s Midship map, allowing players to plasma grenade each other all over the interior of the Pious Inquisitor. From purple reign we move on to the Forerunner Citadel, which…

Ah, kids’s morning television. This is clip from show Gokujyou!! Mecha Mote Iinchou (Top Quality! Super Popular Committee Chair), and about one minute in there’s a plug for a Konami DS based on the anime. Girls can paint nails and do virtual make-up. The show, like most kids’ shows, is wall-to-wall adverts. Though, what makes…
South Koreans are renowned for many things, but when it comes to games development, adhering to copyright laws isn’t one of them. Latest case in point: this trailer for Sudden Attack. While the gameplay looks a little “been there, done that”, it’s not the only overly-familiar thing about the trailer. We could swear we’ve heard…

Yu Kobayashi looks like an angel. She sounds like a angel. Too bad she draws like a monster. Visual horrors await. While this may look like a ring of hell Dante missed, it’s actually Kobayashi’s drawing of Polla, the character she voiced from Wii role-playing-game Arc Rise Fantasia. This is how Polla actually looks when…
Battlefield Heroes is a living, breathing experiment in online gaming for Electronic Arts. It’s also one that I’m particularly fond of. But just how successful has it been for the company? Going by these numbers, I’d say “very.” EA have sat down with the game’s statistics and whittled them down into some palatable, practical numbers.…
The Behemoth – creators of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers – are working on something new. It doesn’t have a name yet (just "game #3"), but it does have this new trailer. Last time we showed you this, most people felt a little…underwhelmed. Weren’t quite sure what’s going on. This trailer, however, has developer commentary,…
The single player in the first Uncharted was compelling, good old fashioned story-telling. Before we shell out to buy the upcoming sequel, wouldn’t it be lovely to check out Uncharted 2‘s single player? Yes, yes it would. Too bad we won’t be doing that. The game is getting a multiplayer demo on September 15, but…
Looks like Codemasters have quietly slipped some system requirements for the upcoming Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising into a post on the game’s official boards. Those expecting an easy run of things will be…wait, were any of you really expecting an easy run of things? New developers or not, this is a Flashpoint game, only…
As seen in my shower this morning. And no, I was not naked when I took this picture.
