If you’ve played any sort of competitive game online, then you’ve been subject to – or even guilty yourself of – Ragequits. Some people just don’t take well to losing, and will quit a game if they happen to be getting the pointy end of the winner’s stick. I have tons of pent-up vitriol for ragequitting arseholes, but I’ll …
Though I’m a huge fan of, and have spent countless hours playing with my own solid snake, I’ve never really taken to the Metal Gear Solid series.

Perhaps it’s because the game scares the hell out of me, or maybe it’s just another victim of my ever-increasing backlog? Anyway, here’s the latest trailer for Visceral’s sequel to one of the best new IPs to come out of …
We all know the PSP2 is coming. It’s a no-brainer and possibly the worst kept secret ever. Yesterday Gavin posted a piece about Sony’s eventual announcement of the PSP2; according to rumours that announcement will be on 27 January 2011. If this is true, then the announcement will come mere days before Nintendo’s 3DS event in Amsterdam, which is when …
Alright, I know that I harp on about this game, but it really is that good. It’s appealed to a massive amount of gamers across the world, and now game developers as a whole have given Playdead Studios’ debut game a very special nod of approval. The annual Game Developers Choice Awards is similar to any other type of game …
