Nail’d
A game that has unfortunately been overlooked due to a lot of other games vying for your attention, Nail’d none the less deserves at least some of your attention now. Billed as an over the top quad bike racer, nail’d promises to deliver on big thrills and ever bigger jumps and sometimes this is exactly what you need. Its almost as if Deep Silver read my mind (yes, I’m that important that a game... (read more »)

Bioshock is heading to the skys..!
Yup its time we leave the cold dark waters of rapture for a more brighter world, although by the looks of it the air has its fair share of problems too. The new trailer for what has been titled Bioshock Infinite is out and this time around we venture up, to the heavens. From the new trailer it looks like we may be trading in the classic Big Daddy for something even more awesome, something mechanical and with a... (read more »)

Mario Is A Communist – Revisited
A long time ago, there was an a website dedicated to proving that Mario was a Communist. Not there is anything wrong with any of that, they were just pointing out some interesting similarities found in each. The original website no longer exists but this wonderful comparison lives on with a simple interactive flash presentation. If you have never seen this, then be prepared to do some reading. If you are at... (read more »)
BioShock 2 “Minerva’s Den” Single-Player DLC
Finally 2K games announces details about the DLC that everyone has been waiting for, the single player extension of the main story line. Maybe it was because, so far, the post launch DLC has been average, maybe its because 2K likes to work in pairs (the first two multiplayer – now two single player) or maybe it was the ghost of Andrew Ryan himself. Either way, after three sets of uninteresting DLC, 2K... (read more »)
Fable III Intro Video
As the Fable III release date draws ever near (still feels like a life time away) I am naturally moving toward my usual dilemma of game exposure. This, in essence is me needing to know more about a game and not wanting to ruin the experience with over saturation. Fable III is a the point where viewing material from the game gets more and more difficult, but before I skip off happily into ignorance I wanted to... (read more »)
Top Ten Adult NES Games
Usually, I would shy away from top ten lists and not for any sinister reason (I have done them in the past myself), but just simply because you find yourself having to justify your choices. For example, over at Topless Robot you will find an excellent list of top ten adult NES (not that type, you perv). Here you will find a selection of mature films that have been recreated for kids who want to relive their... (read more »)
Shmups Are Back In The Arcades (at last)
That classic side-scrolling bullet hell that we all know and love will be making a comeback in the form of Taito’s new Darius Burst: Another Chronicle. I’m not positive that shmups ever left the arcades, I haven’t seen an arcade in years (besides Chuck E. Cheese) Four player action adding to the insane amount of glowing dots that will already be covering the screen. This is a beautiful piece... (read more »)
DC Universe Online – Who Do You Trust
OMG..! This has to be one of the greatest game trailers I’ve ever seen, and so wish that this was a full length feature film as it would be totally awesome, I mean who doesn’t want to see Green Lantern fighting Black Tom and Superman really using the heat vision of his..! The game looks set to be a nice addition to the DC universe once it’s out of Beta, which you can sign up for over on the DC... (read more »)
Zombie Michael Jackson R.I.P
It took a while and to be quite honest I’d even forgotten about it, but a little over a year after Michael Jackson’s death and Zombie Dancer is no more. That is the Zombie Dancer from PopCap’s fun (and oh so cute) strategy game Plants vs Zombies, that featured a nice little homage to Michael Jackson and Thriller. It would seem that Michael Jackson’s estate has gotten wind of it and decided... (read more »)
Homebrew Strikes Back
The Wii has been fighting against piracy almost since its launch. Ever so often there is a Wii System Update pushed to your consoles and, more time than not, these updates are primarily focused on shutting down unauthorized code running on their hardware. Well about a month ago there was one of these updates and it was solely aimed at this unauthorized code. This update wiped out a lot of modifications that... (read more »)
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 New (And Old) Character Art

Once upon at time that used to mean just comics, but now its a one stop shop for all your geek needs, including games. Returning for this year’s comic con, Capcom has taken the opportunity to announce four additional characters to the already strong line up previewed at this year’s... (read more »)
