Comments Off on Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta starts today for PS3 fans

I am absolutely loving Modern Warfare 2 and am more than happy to dedicate plenty more multiplayer hours to it before the novelty wears off, however it is missing that one thing that Battlefield does better than anyone else. …

Comments Off on What's up with the site today?

Some of the more observant Lazygamer regulars may have noticed something different about the site this morning, mainly that it wasn’t here. The good news is that it’s back now but unfortunately the bad news is that we are expecting to fall over again in a few hours. Kotaku has been kind enough to  post a link to an old …

They are all sequels, not a single new IP in that entire list and if we include the rest of the year we can …
