For those of you who owned a Sega Saturn and either Powerslave or Duke Nukem, Death Tank should be firmly engraved in your memory. For those of you who don’t know what Death Tank is, think Worms meets Iraq. While the rumour has been around for sometime after the name appeared on the German’s SKU ratings board but now it …

Yesterday Megarom announced that Ubisoft will be working in conjunction with GeoEye, a provider of satellite, aerial and geospatial technology, to use high resolution images taken from their earth-imaging satellite  for integration in Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. That means that all three versions of the game (pc/ps3/360) will have the players flying over GeoEye-provided satellite imagery in a three dimensional environment. …

Peter Molyneux rates Fable II a 9/10

It's not what you think. I would be really impressed to see a review of a game written by its creator, I am sure it would be quite interesting, although a touch one-sided. He has said that he thinks that Fable 2 is a 9/10. The question is, are game reviewers going to feel the same way? In a recent interview with the Lionhead boss, Molyneux has made it very clear that he is very happy with the end result that will be hitting our shelves and states quite clearly that he has fully delivered on his promises this time, saying " Black & White, The Movies, Dungeon Keeper, pretty much every game I've ever done has had interesting features thrown in to the pot without worrying what the flavour was like," and also says that he hasn't made "the same mistakes I made in the past,". From our lazygamer.co.za comment threads it has become quite clear that while many gamers are very excited to get their hands on Fable 2, there are others that feel that the game is not worth their while. Being a fantasy role playing game, it will push away anyone who is not keen for those types of games. Molyneux goes on a bit more about what he loves about RPG's saying "RPGs are one of the most complex game types there are," added Molyneux. "But for me, the idea of being who I want to be and my character being different to yours, well, I think is one of the coolest genres of game." Fable 2 hits shelves on October 24. Are you going to be buying it at launch or do you think its an over-hyped waste of time? Leave your comments below and let us know where you stand.

Microsoft cuts Xbox 360 accessory prices

By Gavin Mannion

One of the biggest, and most valid, complaints against the Xbox 360 is the completely overpriced accessories for the thing. Not only does the 360 not come with built in wireless but it costs over R1000 to add the functionality in. So when I saw a headline this morning stating that the prices were going to be dropped I though …

Is the PS3 really catching up to the Xbox 360?

By Nick De Bruyne

With PS3 sales overtaking Xbox 360 sales in the last couple of months there have been many articles and reports flying around the internet saying that the PS3 is finally starting to catch up to the 360 and may possibly even overtake it soon. Interesting concept, except for the fact that it's flawed. The current sales of the Xbox 360 and PS3 on VGchartz are as follows: Xbox 360: 20.44 Million Playstation 3: 15.05 Million The thing is, that if you look at the console sales, you can see that the gap in sales between the PS3 and Xbox 360 is still roughly the same as it was when the PS3 was launched. This means that in the current state, the sales of the PS3 are at best only matching the sales of the Xbox 360 even though sales for Sony's console have picked up recently. The PS3 is indeed becoming more popular and the past problems with the Xbox 360's hardware have made quite a difference. However, we all know that the Xbox 360 is going to be the only console offering HD next-gen gaming at the magic price of $199 US dollars. As we have stated in previous articles, come Christmas time, parents are going to be flocking to stores to ensure a truckload of new foul mouthed children join us on Xbox Live and when they do, the low price of the Xbox 360 is going to be incredibly tempting, especially with Nintendo's Wii suffering from shortages abroad. As much as the PS3 enjoys strong brand recognition and a a large fanbase from the PS2 generation, the purchasing decisions are that of the parents and not the children and when the price is right, the parents are all for it. So how is the the future of the PS3 looking? We spend so much time discussing exclusive titles and graphics comparisons that we forget that at the end of the day it largely comes down to parents, standing in a store, staring at shelves with PS3's and Xbox 360's on them. They don't care about MGS4 and Gears of War 2. They see a low price tag on one of them "new console thingamajigs" and the truth is, its not the PS3. It seems pretty obvious which one is going to be leaving in their trolley.
