Over the weekend I received an email, in the middle of all the hate mail, from Ewers asking us for our opinion on the local cost of games in relation to the recent improvement in the exchange rate. My first thought was that we (South Africa and Oz actually) were once again being over charged with the grubby fingers pointing to the variable …

Ha I was wondering how I would be able to link the hammering our cricket team gave the Ozzies to a news story and I have finally found the link… granted it is tenuous to say the least but I am using it.

There has been a lot of hype building around the new Nintendo Wii hardcore title Madworld but unfortunately I have a horrible feeling this game is going to flop terribly, and I have backing for this feeling.
