Gameindustry.biz carries the unfortunate news that Nintendo are too raise the trade price for the Wii in the UK to the order of £18-20 (from its current RRP of £179.99), despite the console making a profit from day one and selling more boxes than, well, boxes of boxes!

In what could be considered a characteristically common move, Johnathan Ross has once again said something he probably shouldn’t have. The loud-mouthed chatshow host (and avid gamer) has frequently let slip potentially litigious banter through several Web 2.0 outlets. Whilst participating in a bit of post-BAFTA Twittering, the chatterbox star let slip something he ‘probably’ […]
Pretty much as it says on the tin here… WBIE have announced DLC for F.E.A.R. 2 on all platforms (well, all it was released on… because giving Wii owners F.E.A.R. 2 DLC would be stupid, wouldn’t it). Not really much to go on re: content or price, but it will be available in April and […]
Approaching the monastary under the cover of night, Andrew Bryant prepares to unleash hell.
BioShock 2 has been an enigma since its big reveal as a reward for finishing the PS3 version (you know, that version that never existed despite evidence to the contrary).

Whilst we pray it turns out better than Operation: Anchorage, check out Eurogamers preview of the pack. *Update* A separate […]

Stormrise is a 3D RTS game for console & PC with a sci-fi leaning, as opposed to the companies previously historical efforts. The interview is one of a technical leaning and carries the revelation that that the game, […]
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Carmageddon game (a fact that is due to continue, as the last anyone heard about the series was when SCI canned #4 a few years ago). Leave it too the eastern european devs to take it in hand and make their own guarenteed crazy amalgamation of everyone’s […]
Rock Paper Shotgun recently had a chat with Christian Svensson, vice president of strategic planning @ Capcom. Whether this chat involved Meer & Rossignol drawing up alongside Svensson in a van with blacked out windows, leaping on him with a potato sack and bundling him away into a dark dank room is, as yet, unknown.
