First we had the return of the Microsoft X-events and now Nintendo is throwing themselves a big shindig. I hope this isn’t the start of a move away from the major conventions to individual mini ones, I think that will take some of the glitz away from the industry to be honest. Either way Nintendo are hosting an event in …

Yahtzee has finally broken down and reviewed the ever awesome Borderlands. Unfortunately he doesn’t have enough friends to review the 4 player co-op side of the game and is incapable of interacting online so this review is purely a single player affair. And from what I have heard that isn’t what this games about. Last Updated: February 11, 2010

Unfortunately these bonuses are only available to UK customers but I have dropped an email off with our local distributors to see if something like this is going to come to SA and I will let you know as soon as I have an answer. So what are these bonuses we may or may not receive? Well depending on where …

Update: Has EA’s Jeff Green just slipped some news out by mistake? Green has updated his Twitter account saying “Fact checking my fact check: Dead Space 2 PC is just “Under Consideration.” DOH I’m just an excitable PC dork.

The first reviews for Heavy Rain are rolling in and so I decided to give them all a look to see how things are going. A lot of the reviews are saying that Heavy Rain isn't really a game, but more of an interactive movie experience, and a lot are quick to point out that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I must say that my excitement for Heavy Rain has been building up very steadily over the last couple of months and I can't wait to get my hands on the game. Let's have a look at how it's doing. The current Metacritic rating for Heavy Rain is sitting on 93/100 with its highest review score coming from the Official US Playstation Magazine with a sparkling 10/10. The lowest score comes from PSM3 Magazine UK who have given it an 88/100 and say that "It's essentially a nine-hour film that you nudge along by following on-screen button prompts, although you feel more connected with the action than this might suggest." Heavy Rain seems to be something new and different, which means that I am all for it. GamePro had the following to say about Heavy Rain, which I found quite interesting: It's barely a game in the popular sense of the word, but Quantic Dream's masterpiece makes groundbreaking strides in storytelling and character development, demonstrating that interactive entertainment still has a deep well of untapped potential. This game has really got me interested, even if people are saying that it's more of an interactive story than anything, I like where it's going. What about you guys? Who's getting it on day one? Anyone not interested or having second thoughts? Comment below.

Gameloft, who are known for their awesome titles, especially when it comes to platforms like the iPhone have been working on GT Racing. As you can tell from the title, the game is pretty much a shameless clone of Gran Turismo and to be honest, I don't care. The game is actually looking great, and seems to play well from what I have seen in the trailer, so I can't say that I'm not happy about it. To be dead honest, I couldn't ever see Polyphony bringing a Gran Turismo to the iPhone, not with the stuff already on their plate, so this works for me. Check out the impressive trailer after the jump. Video Games | GT Racing: Motor Academy | Debut Trailer

Last week EA released their 2010 line-up, letting us know that things like Dead Space 2 and Dragon Age 2 were on their way. Conspicuously absent? Anything Rock Band and Left 4 Dead related. We now know why. According to GameInformer the publisher – which has been struggling financially – will be moving away from distributing games that aren’t developed …

Yes, Turn 10 are so happy that you spent your money on their game, that they want you to join in their happiness by spending more money on this new track that will be available for DLC. If you are wondering what track has been made available, then wonder no more. It is in fact, the Grand Prix circuit for the Nurburgring. Details after the jump. Turn 10 were great when it came to DLC with Forza 2 and I don't see it being any different with Forza 3 so expect DLC to keep flowing for quite some times. The DLC track is now available and going for 400 MS points and will include the full circuit as well as the shorter sprint circuit. You can line up your download so long here.
