I’m still in two minds over this game. On one hand Mario Kart is a lot of fun. This looks like it could be just as much a giggle. On the other hand; it’s a certain style that makes Mario Kart fun and I’m not so sure it can be easily re-created. What I do […]

Square Enix and Gamepot bring Fantasy Earth Zero (beta access)
Square Enix have been talking about letting Western developers continue the Final Fantasy franchise. Shocking? Perhaps – but it’s an illustration of how necessary it is for the RPG giant to crack the western market. Another step towards the West is the news that Square Enix to bring their free to play MMO Fantasy Earth […]
Avatar sequels on the way
Entertainment Magazine have a bit of a sci-fi scoop on their hands; they’ve got James Cameron talking about the 3D sequel to Avatar. Actually, there may be more than one sequel. “I’ve had a storyline in mind from the start — there are even scenes in Avatar that I kept in because they lead to […]
Sexy Spartacus: Blood and Sand comics and trailers have Starz on a roll
The media company Starz are having a good run up to Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I’m not even in the US, am not even sure I’m going to get to see the show and I’m already getting excited about it. Everyone is describing the show as a mashup of Snyder’s 300 and the HBO Rome […]
Three stunning scenes from War of Legends
As part of the teaser campaign prior to the launch of Jagex’s latest online strategy game – War of Legends – the team has been releasing a sneaky glance at some of the artwork involved. Let’s take a look at three vistas revealed over the last three days.
English language trailer for Final Fantasy XIII
There are a number of good things about this trailer; the Leona Lewis song isn’t one of them though. I’m more interested in the character dialog than a reality TV show star’s mantra in the background. They need to turn it down. It’s also worth noting that, shockingly, Final Fantasy XIII won’t be exclusive on […]
Surely you need one? An underwater chainsaw
I simply can’t believe the toolbox you have stashed under your bed doesn’t already include this “must have” practical tool. It’s crystal clear to anyone that neither an electric nor gas-powered chainsaw will work underwater. Instead you need a compressed air-powered chainsaw. Thankfully Toolmonger puts the spotlight on just the thing. Ideal for “Left 4 […]

All the consoles are teaming up with content producers and distributors. You can watch Sky via your Xbox (if you’re a Sky subscriber), you can stream movies or even download comics with your PlayStation 3 and with you Wii you will soon be able to rent Netflix films too. Well, that’s the case if you’re […]
San Francisco made from jelly
The Americans will call this a Jell-O San Francisco. Here in the UK we’d call it a jelly San Francisco. We’d both call it cool and praise artist Liz Hickok on her ace idea. It’s best to pop over to If It’s Hip, It’s Here has they have the inside scoop on this (is that […]
Rabbids in your iPhone with Rabbids Go Phone
I’m a great fan of the Rabbid’s Wii games. They’re a spin off from the Rayman franchise and about a million times as fun. Ubisoft’s latest venture with the loudmouthed and cheeky rabbids is away from the Wii and towards another incredibly popular casual gaming device – the iphone. Not only can you shake your […]
