Transformers: Dark of the Moon game trailer

March 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

Did you buy DJ Hero? Disappointed with it? You would have thought that Acitivision would have been disappointing with the cooler-than-luke-warm sales for the hardware/software game combo but it has all but been confirmed there’s a sequel coming.
