F1 Deal should finally give stability

The deal came so quickly last week after the British Grands Prix that it took pretty much everyone by surprise. I’m glad they sorted it out because in the end, the sport is more popular than ever so it wouldn’t make sense to split into two groups, especially when the differences the two paries had [...]

Myspace Closing at least 4 Offices

Hmm. I guess this news was inevitable. I mean Facebook has mostly taken Myspace’s spot as the premiere social networking site. And it’s hard to really dissagree with everyone who has switched, because Facebook is clearly a better designed site with a nicer and cleaner user interface. Eventually Myspace was going to have to cut [...]

Rock Band Unplugged Review

I’ve gone though differing thoughts over this game since I heard about it. I was excited from the get-go and when I played the demo, it made me want to play the full version a lot, but then when I got the full game today and started playing, I just felt a little bit dissappointed. [...]

Activision's threat to Sony

My feeling on this is that Activision do have a point that they do have to pay more to develop for PS3, plus the attach rates may be lower than the Xbox. But it’s pretty common knowledge that the wii have much lower attach rates than PS3. But still, just the fact that a huge [...]

App Store has some cool stuff right now

Check out: Star Defense (all ngmoco stuff is good) Sims 3 (haven’t bought it yet but looks good from what I’ve seen) Firemint Real Racing (also haven’t bought it but looks amazing for an app store game) These are all really great. The only one I have right now is Star Defense and if you [...]

EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis Review

I’ve been looking forward to this game for a while, for several reasons. Firstly because it was to be my new go to game on wii where I could just pick it up and play for a while when I have time. Secondly because it looked to be one of the best tennis games yet [...]

Pre-Order Scribblenauts Now

This game looks incredible. Plus it’s the first time in ages I’ve been genuinely excited about a DS game that is a retail product and not DSi downloadable. Basically the game is a simple 2D platform game with puzzle elements where you have to get hold of a star in the level, and you can [...]

DSi games I missed at E3

During nintendo’s confernce, I missed both the cool new DSi games they announced. Both of which have a varying amount of user generated content creation and sharing as a part of the experience, which I’m very excited about. Mario vs Donkey Kong, return of the mini’s and the new warioware game really show that Nintendo [...]

Sony E3 Impressions

It’s interesting that earlier I said that if Sony did everything we thought they were going to do, they would not have a good showing overall. However, they basically did exactly that, but it still seemed to have a positive feeling about it. I think they really struck a chord with the hardcore with what [...]

Nintendo avoided being worse than last year…

But not by much. I mean yeah Galaxy 2 is probably going to be another great game, but I think it’s playing it safe. Plus, Zelda was released first and was a gamecube port, so I guess it must just be a case of them already having the engine in place for Galaxy so they [...]
