For Gears of War 2 we decided to do our review a little differently, we knew that everyone who was anticipating the game would be getting it on launch day anyway so we decided it would be better to hold off on the review and rather give a post mortem of our experience. The hype has come and gone …

I literally cannot explain exactly how jealous I am that I cannot enter this competition. Reason being that one of our readers is going to get to take home a limited Call of Duty: World at War Zippo, courtesy of Megarom. Because the prize is so insanely cool, we have decided to make the competition a little interesting. For this competition we have devised an interesting, albeit unlikely scenario involving yourself, a zippo and a really angry Nazi. The full competition question can be found after the jump. Not entering will be considered an absolute crime. Don't miss out on the opportunity.... We have a rather interesting scenario worked out and you need to tell us how you are going to get out of it. The best and most creative answer will be chosen as the winner, so be sure to get those creative juices flowing. Here is the scenario: You are a soldier in World War 2, you are stuck inside a destroyed house that has only one exit. Problem is, you have just run out of ammo and a crazed Nazi is about to bash through the door and introduce you to the business end of his rifle. The only thing that you have left in your possession is your trusty Zippo lighter. How will you utilise your Zippo to survive this fatal predicament ?... Your answers can be smart, funny or even strangely detailed.... Mail your entry to comps@lazygamer.co.za by 5pm on Friday 21st with the subject COD Zippo and you could be the lucky winner of this incredibly cool Zippo.

Microsoft believe that with the New Xbox Live Experience will turn Xbox Live into more of a Social networking system. Shades of this intent have been visible since the last large update for the current system where Bio’s and such where introduced. But just how far do Microsoft want to go with this?

So yesterday, I decided after a long debate with a friend of mine to sell him my PS3. It was an old 60G PS3 and he wanted it for the backwards compatibility. So with the money I went and “upgraded” to the new 80G PS3 bundled with 2 Dualshock 3’s and a copy of Gran Turismo Prologue. All was good …

Do I need to state the obvious fact here that a video which shows you where the collectables are in Gears of War 2 may contain certain spoilers to the game? Well I guess I have anyway so that’s out of the way. I have never been very interested in achievements but seeing that I am going to be starting …

I love videos like these, they always remind me why I shouldn't bother trying to skate again. It's one thing to see gameplay videos and tech demos for a new game but it's a different story altogether when the video's sole purpose is to show you just how badly you can destroy your poor self in an upcoming game. The latest video for Skate 2 does just that and some of these bails had me cringing at the thought of experiencing a bail like that for real. Granted, I have a had a couple of real life bad ones before and the idea of leaving the bails to the videogame characters sits perfectly fine with me.
