In the history of video games, few companies have out-marketed Nintendo. From the days of the Nintendo Seal of Quality and the “Now You’re Playing With Power” campaign to Wii’s non-gamer demos and “Wii Would Like to Play” ads, the Big N has accumulated…
Yeah, yeah...so i broke easier than a KitKat and bought my copy from Tescos (of all places) last night. Fortunately the wife was out so I had some quality time with me and my Playstation. I like Skyrim...a lot...and it's there that I see the problem coming. I already mentioned before how I am time poor ...
It's not often that I feel that I wish that I had nothing better to do than watch Jeremy Kyle before moving onto This Morning. Actually the idea of being a house husband is more and more appealing if games like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are coming out - that on top of all the ...
So despite my fear that Battlefield would take the crown I have had a weekend with Modern Warfare 3. Ugh! This is hard. OK I played a bit of the single player and ho hum, it is on rails FPS, with nothing really new - although it looks really nice with a few spectacular city ...
Time to get excited - check out down and out Nico from GTA 4 at 0.59 Seems like we are going back to Los Santos for round five of the best gangster series ever. From the trailer this looks better than ever. Loads of speculation as to who the main character is going to be - ...

OK, so having had Battlefield 3 since the weekend, I have spent nearly every spare moment I have on the bloody thing. Lets cut to the chase this game is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Alright the single player is nothing to write home about - it is linear and is made up from ok set pieces, but no-one ...
Battlefield 3 is on it's way - Amazon have it getting packed for delivery. Aaargh! if only I'd had the foresight to take Friday off work I could be shooting strangers in the face across the world by breakfast tomorrow. Just need to convince the other half that the PS3 is in charge on Saturday. Come ...
Its Batman, more Batman than Arkham Asylum, more super criminals and more, much much more. Batman is a dark violent (but he never kills!) vast game that spans a much larger area than the previous game. With 400 Riddler challenges, the Joker, Penguin, Mr Freeze, Harley Quinn, Croc and loads more there is soooo much to ...
Do you like cars...lots of cars, cars that you will never afford? Good then you can't get more car porn in one place anywhere else. Graphics are eyewateringly realistic with sheen on everything possible. This time round the CPU controlled cars actually seem to race you rather than follow a procession and it is a common ...
