Probably be online with this this evening if anyone fancies some warm up races

Is that worth a go? It's on sale in GAME for 20 quid at the moment and I'm seriously considering it.

Ok, let's talk the Assassin's Creed Unity review embargo. The game came out Tuesday morning in the states. The review embargo was Tuesday afternoon. That meant the game was technically on sale for at least 12 hours before any reviews could be published. As you might have seen, it's not scoring as we...

Reviews haven't had as much of an impact on game sales for a while now. Success on the consoles seems to be mostly tied to marketing spend, much as it is with the big Hollywood blockbuster movies. For example, Assassin's Creed Unity has been getting mostly 7's so far, reviewers seem disappointed tha...

Keeping an eye out for the Assassin's Creed reviews.

I know I'll probably end up playing both, but it's a question of which one first...

This is going somewhat off topic, but on the Aliens toys...

The Aliens toys were done for a cartoon show that was cancelled before it aired (one of my favourite pieces of trivia that...) I don't mean weird as in 'not done before' but weird as in 'why would they DO that?' (Other examples: The Halo Megablocks toys. The Gears of War Meccano sets. The Call of Du...

K.Nex are selling a bunch of Titanfall construction toys...

Yeah, an M-Rated game with a toyline. That's not odd at all.

(They only have the Atlas and Ogre though, where's my Stryder? Stryder FTW!)

The 3DS has always been region locked.

I bet that costs less than the 60 quid I spent on eBay for a Megadrive copy last month...

(And I still haven't even played it yet)

Meh, Majora's can do one. Worst of all of the post SNES games by miles.

(I may have had this argument with people on Twitter before... hehe...)

I do love a bit of pizzicato...

A lot of people mistake what MAME is for really.

It's meant to be about preservation, getting the emulation as perfect as it can be regardless of how powerful a PC you might need to actually run it.

I remember very clearly the first time I played Wolfenstien 3D. I was 15 years old, and taking part in my first week of 'work experience' from school (for those outside the UK, this is where they put teenagers into a real work environment for a week, ostensibly to show them a bit of how the world wo...

I may change my mind once we see it in action (probably in this evenings Nintendo Direct).

Although as the only Amiibo I was thinking of getting was Zelda...

Some details of how the Amiibo figures will work with Mario Kart 8 have emerged...

I am disappoint.

Nemesis is pretty much the only Resi game I've enjoyed playing all the way through...

Hyrule Warriors!

While I adore a lot of Amiga music, the hardware had this annoying limitation where sounds were either fully to the left or fully to the right in the stereo panning. It makes listening to Amiga music on headphones sound really weird. Mod/Med/TFMX plugins for Winamp give you the option to make the st...

All the chat about the DLC has been about the handful of new characters and Karts.

But the first drop has 8 tracks!

Yes, 4 will be remakes of existing MK tracks, but that would be awesome anyway on it's own... we also get 4 new ones!

I, for one, welcome our new Nintendo DLC overlords...
