Sega goes crazy – promotes mutant blue lump / Sonic “hat”

July 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This blue object is a Sonic the Hedgehog hat. No, really. It is! It’s a magical hat that transforms from “what the heck is that!” to “that’s awesome!” with just the application of a beer (or one small brandy). Let’s say you’ve had that beer (or one small brandy) and now fancy the so-called hat. […]

Raving Rabbids Travel in Time

July 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think the Raving Rabbids is one of the best franchises for the Wii. Simply put; the games are fun. Wasn’t so sure about the last one and its lack of mini-games but it was still fun. Ubisoft thinks there’s life in these cheeky scamps yet. As a result we can expect more Rabbid chaos […]

Pokemon: Black and White trailer

June 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It feels like I’ve used the phrase “this is a bit Pokemon like” or similar a lot recently. The reason for that is two-fold. Pokemon has inspired many games – or, at least, parts of Pokemon has inspired parts of many games. Secondly, Pokemon has that iconic status which begs for comparison. This game is rather […]

Is the 3DS really capable of these graphics? Resident Evil Relevations sparks debate

June 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The 3DS is Nintendo’s next handheld console. It’s a two screen 3D device. One of the games for the console leading the adoption charge is the next in the evergreen Resident Evil franchise; Resident Evil Relevations. Capcom have released a trailer for the Relevations game. The graphics are supposed to have been rendered in “real […]

Violin maestro performs Super Mario

June 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

How’s this for a sound system upgrade? Teppei Okada, a violin maestro, gives a real time sound enhancement to Super Mario. In other news; you know you can download Halo music for Guitar Hero 3? Done that. Made it to the end with at least half my fingers still straight.

HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2

June 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]

Nintendo to produce Mario playing cards

June 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nintendo – which began life making cards and dominoes – will be releasing some Mario Trump cards and Mario playing cards. As it turns out they’ve sent some bloggers and media some early copies. Now, thanks to andriasang and Anoop Gantayat we’ve got some good photos of what some of the playing card options look […]

Sonic Colours – spelt right and due out late 2010

May 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s an interesting looking game. Sonic Colours might well just be one of the games that suits the Nintendo Wii down to the ground. Okay; it’s a Sega game that you can only play on a Nintendo console. That’s a little interesting. What’s also rather nice to see is that the SEGAEurope YouTube video uses […]

The Great Ghastly

May 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What we have here is a successfull attempt to mix Pokemon with the works of F. Scott Fitgerald. I’m sure that doesn’t happen every day. I actually think The Great Gatbsy is a good read and recommend it. It’s short. With little effort you can say you’ve read a classic. Right now, on Amazon.co.uk, Fitzgerald’s […]

Apple versus Nintendo – what about the WiiPad?

May 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World. Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All […]
