Bleach Soul Ignition ad
This is the very first Bleach game for the PlayStation 3. It’s not surprising that Sony have ponyed up for a juicy TV ad. Okay, it’s not the first Bleach game as there have been plenty for the PSP but it’s funny how they don’t seem to count all of a sudden. A word of […]

Will social games save the Wii U?
I don’t have a blu-ray player; I have a PlayStation 3. I don’t yet have a tablet. I wonder if in a year’s time I’ll be able to say; “I don’t have a tablet. I have a Wii U”? So far the Wii U has generated a lot of blog chat but it’s not impressed […]
Alice: Madness Returns fan made trailer of dooooom!
We have the offical Alice: Madness Returns trailer over here. It’s not bad at all. It’s hard to capture sinister creepy in just a few minutes. That’s why this fan made trailer for Spicy Horse‘s highly anticipated game is all that much more impressive. It’s really quiet sinister. Watch out for the syringe that has […]
