As if Burnout fans haven't already been spoiled rotten by Criterion Games with the mountain of free DLC that has already been released, it seems that they are planning even more. Criterion now have four more DLC packs planned and will be releasing info about them on each one a week after each other starting November 7. Criterion have apparently been working on an entire new island so fans should be able to enjoy a lot more of their game once the packs are released. Whether or not any of the packs will be free remains to be seen.

So the world economy is crashing down around us and our local currency is tanking miserably,  things are pretty much doom and gloom at the moment. However there is a silver lining to all of this. Yes game prices are going through the roof but actually getting into gaming has now become cheaper in South Africa than anywhere else in …

So... you have heard all these great things about Fallout 3, which is releasing at the end of this week. The game sounds really interesting but you really have absolutely no idea of what to expect. What happened in the first two games and why were they so popular? This awesome retrospective created by Gametrailers.com takes us back to the beginning and explains the whole deal. If you are interested in Fallout 3 but never had the chance to play any of the previous versions, check this out.

I know nothing about this game at all, but it looks like there is going to be a whole pile of blood and gore in this game with a smattering of over the top violence. It has to be a winner, Splatterhouse is dated for the 29th of April next year. Last Updated: October 27, 2008

Early reports of Call of Duty 5 are saying that while the game still looks great and plays similarly to COD4, it just isn't quite as good. To be honest, I really couldn't care less. The reason is simply because this game also has 4 player cooperative play. It was easily the biggest element missing from COD4. In this day and age of online play, sitting in a massive battle all by yourself just doesn't cut it anymore. From the video it is obvious to see that COD5 is still looking really good and if the co-operative works without any online issues, I can't see any reason to not play through this game a couple of times at least, with a couple of buddies by my side.

It's no secret that Hellgate: London was a miserable failure. The team behind the title mostly comprised of ex-Diablo developers who banded together to form Flagship Studios. The game enjoyed massive hype and had followers dying to get their hands on the game, especially when the CG trailers were looking so incredibly impressive. Unfortunately, once released, it didn't take long to figure out that the game was nothing but a huge disappointment. The quests were boring, the controls weren't great and the world felt dead, completely destroying the MMO feeling that Flagship had originally set out to create. Well now, little over a year after it's release, the servers are going to finally shut down. January 31st will be the last day that Hellgate sees and until then, there will be no subscription fees for the game. It really is a shame to see that a game with so much potential failed to deliver the goods. This is just a reminder to developers out there that unless you have thought everything through and given 110%, your game may very well have it's plug yanked from the wall.

Ubisoft are one of the biggest and most succesful gaming megatrons in the industry and as such it is interesting to see where they are making their money as I think it is a key indicator of where the makers of the Tom Clancy series are going to be focussing their future development. So when they released their latest financials …

I love stories like this, they really are just so damn strange sometimes. So get this... a 43-year old woman got so upset about her online husband in Maple Story divorcing her without warning that she used his login details and information to go into the game and make his character disappear. You may think that it is quite a joke but after the man reported her actions to the police, she was arrested and is now facing chargers of "suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data." She now looks to possibly be facing up to five years in prison or $5000 dollar fine.
