Fancy building your own Wii remote? At the very least; do you fancy being able to decorate your own Wii remote? What if I said “Lego”? Interested now? There we have it – after years of increasingly clever Lego computer games (the joys of Lego Star Wars) we now have a $40 LEGO branded Wii […]

Are there investors circling Ubisoft?
Last week EA raised around $122 by selling their stake in Ubisoft. That’s right, games giant EA has held a 15% stake in Ubisoft and has for the last five years.

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

Violin maestro performs Super Mario
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjcFQquHipE
HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2
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 […]
