There is quite a serious debate in certain circles about whether or not re-releasing back catalogue titles is purely a quick money scheme or if the companies are offering die hard fans a nice easy way to play these old retro titles. I sit in the formers camp where I generally see companies wrapping old titles (that should now be …
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is definitely one of the most incredible DS games that I have ever played, and also got the highest review score that I have ever given in my time reviewing games on this site (9.9/10). The sad thing, is of course that we have reported in the past that Chinatown Wars sold really, really badly, …
So the Xbox 360 exclusive online game show is coming to the UK in Beta form and I was wondering if we would be able to sneak into this one. A large proportion of South African Xbox Live users are subscribed to the UK service and with Germany also being a part of this beta we may actually be able …
Before any of you get excited, no there is no news on the supposed HD capable Wii that’s rumoured to be in production. Instead, we have some software that can out-Wii the Wii itself, and run commercial games at a higher resolution than the console manages. The result?

Recent sales data from Gfk ChartTrack shows that whilst still ahead in lifetime sales (by a large, large margin) Wii sales have slowed in favour of the Xbox …
Excuse the quality on this one, the original 38 second video was 150Mb so I had to compress it quite a bit. But you get the idea and apparently this is all ingame footage for FIAF 2010 which is easily the most important FIFA title for South Africa as we are the centre of the footballing world next year. What …
Despite the fact that they’re very different games, Prototype and InFamous – two sandbox super-hero games – are often compared. Yahtzee’s no different, and if you watched his Prototype vs InFamous Zero Punctuation battle, you’ll know he failed to decide on a clear winner. He did however state that he’d declare a winner after a bit of compliance from the …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
