Remember lemmings? Of course you do since lemmings was one of the best titles in all time in my humble opinion. Why they haven’t released a quality lemmings title in the last 10 years is beyond me but now another pretender to the crown as arrived in the form of Swarm. Here’s the official blurb, a video and some screenshots …
 Team ICO, the amazing development studio behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, has a lot of fans. Nearly all of those fans have been clamouring for an HD re-release for both of these PlayStation 2 gems. Sony did that for God of War I and God of War II so it seems likely that they’ll give the go-ahead …
BioShock 2, although a great game in its own right, came across as an unnecessary return to the fallen undersea ruins of Rapture. Minerva’s Den, the game’s first – and possibly only – narrative driven single player DLC brings escorts you back to the familiar subaquatic dystopia. Is it worth returning to Rapture, for what could be the last time? …
The Kevin Butler Playstation ad campaign, is in my mind, possibly one of the greatest series of adverts that I have ever seem in my life. Never before has a video games company nailed its target audience down so well, and created a series of advertisements that never fail to deliver ad after ad after ad. They are pure genius. …
OK Lazygamers, the first week of our H.A.W.X 2 competition sponsored by Ubisoft/Megarom and EvoPoints has been done and I have a prize that needs awarding in the form of a PSN or MS Points code.

The first Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X released just on around a year and a half a go, and jetted forth as Ubisoft’s first attempt at entering the air combat genre in this generation. When we reviewed the first H.A.W.X, we thought it wasn’t bad at all, awarding it a solid 8.0/10, noting that it wasn’t for flight sim buffs, but rather …
It’s been quite a while since the last major dashboard overhaul and while we all know a new one is coming with Kinect we don’t know what it looks like. Well we didn’t, after the break there are 8 new shots of the dashboard and a video run through courtesy of PlayStationInformer… yeah ironic isn’t it. Honestly the dashboard is …
On September 13, 1985 the first super Mario Bros game was released in Japan. While our favourite goomba-stomping plumber got his start a little earlier – in 1981’s Donkey Kong, it was Super Mario Bros that sent the world’s most famous video game character down the princess-saving path he’d continue for the next 25 years. So Happy 25th Birthday, Mario! …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
