PSN Trophy Shots – true or false

 - June 30th, 2008
Is it just me or does this screenshot look EXACTLY like a Xbox 360 gamercard? Granted these could be false but they do fit the profile quite well… but then we couldn’t call it copying unless they actually used the game by game comparison page…… well if these are real screenshots then I have to say I am disappointed with Sony… But since nothing has been officially confirmed I am calling BS on ...

Rockband 2 Announced

 - June 30th, 2008
So the news doing the rounds this afternoon is that Rockband 2 has officially been announced. So no suprises there really, but it does raise a valid question for us down here in the Southern hemisphere. When are we going to get our turn to Rock out to Rockband? I have said before that I am not a fan of Guitar Hero’s new move ... [»]

Storm in a teacup… again

 - June 30th, 2008
Okay I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to stoking the flames of a possible Xbox 360 version of MGS4. So you would think when the images hit the Internet that there was a possible Xbox 360 dev console inside Kojima’s headquarters I would have been all over it. However I just don’t see this as anything to be honest. A game developer has a gaming console in their office…. So what? Hell if anything they ... [»]

Saints Row 2 – Story Trailer

 - June 30th, 2008
Saints Row doesn't quite have the following of GTA and sometimes I think it gets knocked down unfairly by being the only other game in the GTA genre.I think they intelligently delayed the release to makre sure it didn't coincide with GTA and the more I see of this the more I like it..Take a look at the story trailer that has just been released, which dare I say it. Looks like a more interesting story than GTA? Getting There
South African Console Sales Figures

So this is exciting news isn’t it? GFK, the guys who track and report on all the retail sales figures in South Africa and around the world have put together some figures for Lazygamer.co.za to exclusively release. I have them at the moment but to ensure that they are reported in an unbiased and fair manner I am going to get GFK to approve the way they are being used. So if all goes to plan the figures will be out around lunch time tomorrow and I have to say ... [»]

The DS Does it again

 - June 30th, 2008
There is something about the Nintendo DS that somehow allows it to take the most ridiculous ideas and make blockbuster games with them.So when someone mentions that there is a new game coming out where you play as the lead sheep and do such things as clean other sheep, play bad music and bounce on a trampoline you know exactly which platform it's going to be on.This is why the DS is doing so well, and why the Wii is doing so well. Nintendo just continue to ... [»]

Lego Indiana Jones – The Original Adventures – PSP

Nick “The Tool” is getting married

 - June 27th, 2008
Isn't this exciting, sometime tomorrow in a secret location somewhere in Gauteng, the very first Lazygamer.co.za wedding will be taking place.Details are sketchy as I have a feeling Nick doesn't want his loyal fanbase (or sworn enemies) flocking to see him tie the knot with his lovely, soon to be, wife.But I would just like to wish him all the luck and best wishes for the future.As he has some manly duties to perform for the next while we won't be seeing any stories from Nick, but fear not he hasn't been fired (or hunted down by previously mentioned sworn enemies) and will be back soon enough.And as I was told by my best man when I got married "May the blue bird of happiness crap all over your ...
