June 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
We were all looking forward to Nintendo announcing a re-designed 3DS with a second thumb stick at this years E3. Then E3 came and went with no such announcement. Nintendo thought it would be a good plan to wait until today to announce that there is indeed a new model of the 3DS, but not [...]

June 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Nintendo are back today to tear up everything we’ve already seen from Microsoft and Sony to show us – hopefully – some fantastic software for Wii U.

Sonic Generations Review
November 11, 2011 By 2 Comments
It’s been a long, long time since we could say this, so brace yourselves. SEGA have made a Sonic game worth buying.

Green Lantern: Rise Of The Manhunters Review
June 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The comics like to make out that a Green Lantern’s prime enemy is the colour yellow. Short of loosing Big Bird, Bert and Mr Oizo on their intergalactic asses however, at present the corp’s greatest threat appears to be the anticipation and not-exactly-optimistic test screening buzz coming from DC’s summer blockbuster starring Ryan Reynolds. So [...]

Nintendo 3DS Launch Line-Up Review
March 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
As far as comebacks go, it’s up there with Jesus and Kylie. With the rise of Microsoft and Sony’s corporate juggernauts at the turn of the century, Nintendo’s increasingly laboured hardware releases (Gamecube, Gameboy Micro) ensured it looked like it was fast going the way of SEGA. But then, magically, they’ve turned their fortunes around, [...]
