Here is why, in my opinion, Nintendo is worth a look. Nintendo first came about in 1889 maiking playing cards since the start. Nintendo has since done many things, at one point they owned a cab company and even a love hotel, – I think the name explains it all. They even own the Seattle …

So, Modern Warfare 3, eh? No one saw that coming. Yet the response to the inevitable news of the up and coming shooter’s release is something unexpected. The response to the inevitable release isn’t exactly that of fireworks and cheers, but a mixture of fist pumping cheers and mass hatred. One side circling 8th November …
Yesterday Sony outlined the list of freebies that PS3 and PSP owners can choose from as a thank you for persevering through the PSN outage. Not as an apology, but as a thank you. Many, myself included have been very critical of this offering. In my view it seems to be purely a way of …

After a really entertaining podcast recording with the gamerdads lot (www.gamerdads.co.uk), I got to thinking about a subject that we touched on.

Last night saw the GAME British Academy Video Game Awards. A night filled with celebs and developers and lots of journos in a small sweaty media room!! For me the big winner of the night was Heavy Rain; scooping up 3 awards. Other highlights included a suprise (for me at least) win for EA’s Need …
