I have nothing further to say at this time. Ergo, until we hear more, its official – 3D Realms is dead, gone, […]

Sony poach (PAL) Ghostbusters – Bad Times

Mere weeks from release, Sony has decided that the imminent Blu-Ray release of the original Ghostbusters films didn’t have enough of a marketing push, therefore they have thrown a hefty chunk of cash towards the as ever terminally-strapped-for-cash Atari.

An offer that’s too good to refuse?: Mafia II Gameplay footage **UPDATED**

Personally, I felt Mafia was one of the best games ever made.  Sure, it had radical difficulty spikes, inconsistent visuals and at times stereotypically poor voice-acting, but the story was majestic and the tense gunplay & realistic driving model gelled almost perfectly. 7 years on and a sequel is nearly upon us – Set in […]

Exploderising Nazis!: Wolfenstein Intro

Not a lot of really interesting dirt has been dug about Wolfenstein – it all seems pretty generic, what with its ‘Ripped from the pages of Soul Reaver’ dimension hopping, Raven’s trademark solid but unspectacular tried-and-tested gameplay & everyone’s favourite bad guys – Nazis!
