Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Out Now
I loved Mount & Blade, sure it’s rough around the edges but it’s so damn addictive and the good news is the new installment is out now. I’m not sure how the transition to guns and and a more realistic historical background is going to go but I’ve got my copy downloaded from Gamers Gate and […]

L.A. Noire
How about a 40s crime thriller set in Los Angeles? L.A. Noire hits PS3 and Xbox 360 in a couple of weeks. A spot of detective fiction with a noir backdrop could be fun even with an extra e in the title. Rockstar are publishing but it’s developed by first timers Team Bondi, although they […]

It’s apparently lighter, perhaps slightly more ergonomic and it definitely looks better but still. Looks like the next big fight is a match up between the Sony […]

As the console war continues to escalate Sony are really sticking it to the competition….. better late than never. Since announcing the price cut and the new slim version of the PS3 they have shifted over 1 million units worldwide. Microsoft were quick to announce their own price cut to keep the Xbox 360 in […]

Too Late for Kurt Cobain in GH5 but we can stop Ant and Dec Game
The use of Kurt Cobain’s likeness in Guitar Hero 5 has caused a fairly big uproar. His old band mates from Nirvana have condemned it and more recently Jon Bon Jovi weighed in agreeing with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic that it is distasteful. Cobain’s ex naturally came out and had a moan as well […]

PS3 and iPlayer
The recent tweaks made by the PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.0 update may not have blown your socks off but there is one addition that is proving super popular here in the UK. Since they added the BBC iPlayer link to the XMB the PS3 now accounts for 10% of all iPlayer usage. Macs only account for […]
