Prince of Persia “Epilogue” DLC to hit Feb 26th
Ubisoft sent word today that they’ll be releasing a piece of DLC for the console versions of Prince of Persia (sorry PC owners).
The DLC will feature a new area for the Prince and Elika to trawl through titled “The Underground Palace”, and to help you along the way there is a new move and a new power as well as new Costumes based on the Prototype Prince and Elika from earlier screens.
There’s no word on Price, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it cost 800 points on XBL.
Full Features after the Jump.
Resi 5 Demo to Finally Hit the West
Capcom sent word that the highly anticipated demo of Resident Evil 5 (which has been out on the Japanese Marketplace for god knows how long now) will finally hit XBL worldwide on January 26th.
It will be exclusive to the 360 for one Week at which point PS3 owners will be able to get in on the action too.
The demo contains two levels and is a fairly good representation of what to expect (Resi 4 in HD basically).
We’ll have more on Resident Evil 5 as we move closer to it’s March 13th (Friday the 13th) release date.… Read More…

I’d like to personally thank you all for coming here and checking us out all year, and making this our most successful year in terms of hits.
I’d also like to personally thank Andrew for his much much appreciated help in the past couple of months, as without it, i’d have had to shut the site down.
I’d also like to thank all the PR peeps who’ve helped me along, by sending code or just answering my questions.
I Hope you all have a great Christmas, and a brilliant New Year. … Read More…
Home Live, Nation Rejoices
After a very nervous afternoon at Sony which saw the release delayed by several hours (and god knows for what reasons). Home has finally been unleashed onto the PS3.
The Second Life-esque service allows you to create a virtual you and have a virtual home to meet up with your mates and launch games to play (if the game supports it).
There’s not a lot there at the moment (although there’s a lot of things that will rape your wallet).
You’ll find it under your Playstation Network Section of the XMB, click it and it’s a 77MB download (then it … Read More…
Review: WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009
You can’t beat a bit of Sweaty, oiled up men in Spandex pretending to hurt each other. I can’t think of a better thing to do than watch a good old bit of Wrasslin’.
Of course, the current product isn’t what it once was, lacking the star power of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, but it’s still (at times) entertaining.
Since the jump to Next gen, the Smackdown games haven’t been as good as they were on the PS2 or specifically, Here Comes the Pain – infact, since then the games have floundered a bit with each iteration … Read More…

Review: Fallout 3
War. War never changes.
It’s with these ominous words that Fallout 3 begins, and begins it does – with you being born into the post apocalyptic world.
As openings to games go, you’d be hard pressed to find a more unique one than that. The game then fast forwards a year to your first steps, then a few more years to your 10th Birthday, a couple more to you taking your G.O.A.T exam and then finally to the start of the game proper.
Many of the traditional Fallout fans were up in arms when Bethseda announced they had bought the … Read More…

Review: Fable 2
Molyneux Delivers!
There i said it. He’s actually for once, not over promised and under delivered. He has actually set out and done everything he has promised to with Fable 2.
It’s been 4 years since Fable was released, and the disappointment of what was missing that was promised is still stinging and you get the feeling that Mr Molyneux has listened and for once stopped over promising.
Fable 2 is unashamedly British (the voice over is done by Zoe Wannamaker of My Family fame) and features a lot of lovely British slang like “Betwazzled”. This gives the game a … Read More…
