Final Mass Effect 3 trailer

March 2, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

BioWare and EA have released the final trailer video for Mass Effect 3. At least, it’s a video they’re calling final trailer – let’s not rule out any last minute surprises. Mass Effect 3 has had a rocky few days. The MVC brand map says that fewer female gamers than average are into Mass Effect […]

New Baldur’s Gate RPG coming?

March 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Baldur’s Gate. The first one. The computer RPG. It remains one of BioWare‘s best. I’m not the only one with fond memories of Baldur’s Gate, it seems, as the web is a wash with speculation that a new Baldur’s Gate RPG is on the way. Something is up. The official site has […]

February 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Eurogamer has the worrying news that GAME will not be stocking Mass Effect 3. In fact, GAME will not be stocking any EA game beyond SSX. This is a blow for all UK Mass Effect fans. GAME was one of the few retailers in the UK that were taking pre-orders for the N7 Collectors Edition […]

Street Fighter… Monopoly

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

USApoly has some pretty cool Monopoly franchises on their books. They have Futurama Monopoly, Star Trek Klingon Monopoly and Risk Monopoly. That monopoly range is expanding. Capcom have confirmed that Street Fighter monopoly is on the way. Interested? There’s a problem. There are too many Street Fighter characters for the game designers to work with. […]
