It is Hollywood in the 1960s, and you are taking part in a game show about puzzles. While busy on the show, you meet an old friend who is now an FBI agent investigating a serial killer who targets the winners of the TV show that you are currently a contestant in. He asks for your help to solve the puzzles left behind by the killer. The clues lead to new victims, and you end ... [»]
The market for dedicated handhelds, thanks to the proliferation of gaming capable smartphones and tablets, has shrunk to nothing. Nintendo, likewise, is doomed; their new 3DS has stalled at retail, proving itself to be a worthlessly unnecessary bit of tech. Only neither of those statements is true. We’ve reported ... [»]
Capcom’s pretty much given Mega-man fans a kick to the teeth of late. Not only was the admittedly odd and mostly rubbish looking Mega Man Universe canned, but they also - and this is much more crucial - went and canned the highly anticipated Mega Man Legends 3 - largely because at the time the 3DS wasn’t selling. Then they even went and ... [»]
While some Xbox Live users are still left without the paid-for online service after having updated their consoles to the latest, admittedly sexy firmware, Nintendo 3DS users are finding that their system’s also privy to a firmware update.The update adds 3D video recording, which is pretty neat - even if it is quite low res. It also lays the groundwork for publishers to begin selling (and hopefully ... [»]
Nintendo’s new 3D handheld, the 3DS hasn’t done so well at retail. Or at least that’s what we’ve all believed. Turns out, that’s not exactly true. Sure, its initial momentum wasn’t exceptionally high - but it’s picked up. Guess that huge price drop’s helped then.According to Nintendo of America’s meaty master Reggie Fils-Aime the device has seen a significant upswing, and has garnered "positive momentum since the digital content came onboard with ...

A little while back I was invited into the bowels of Microsoft to get some hands on time with the re-mastered Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary edition, now available in 3D. As is standard practice I received a shiny copy of the game as well but this time I’m ... [»]
Nintendo’s flagship 3DS has been beset with sales problems. though anticipation for the device was exceedingly high, it’s found itself flustered at retail, often not even able to stand up to the performance of Sony’s now ancient PSP. Though the device dropped in price - by a staggering 40% in some regions - giving it a bit of a momentum boost, what it really needs is ... [»]
There was always one in the classroom. That kid at the back that was too clever, or didn't care about the subject. Because he was playing Tetris on his Gameboy. He was easy to spot on the playground, with the large crowd either watching him zoom along at level 9, or standing in line for a chance to ... [»]
It’s something we’ve been saying for ages now; The 3DS success depends on software, not it’s price. Though many are pretty happy with the 3DS current price - a reduction of 40% of its launch price less than a year ago - without a wealth of games, there’s very little incentive to buy one. Ubisoft’s outspoken CEO Yves Guillemot has said the same thing. ... [»]
Nintendo’s 3DS is a wonderful piece of kit, but it’s not doing the sort of sales numbers Nintendo had hoped or expected. The company even went so far as to globally slash the handheld’s retail price by as much as 40%, in order to gain momentum and increase sales. That worked - but only to a point. The 3DS, you see, is lacking one crucial thing; games. That’s not a good thing for a game’s machine to do. Which is why it almost ... [»]
EA has just released The Sims 3 Pets across several platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC and 3DS. While each version of the game has its own unique features, they all share one thing: for the first time in the Sims franchise, you can now take control of your pets.The Sims 3 Pets for 3DS is a standalone game (rather than an expansion), has several unique features ...

Sorry, did I say Super Mario Land 3d? I meant S?p? Mario Sree-dee Rando, because the video’s entirely in Japanese - but it hardly matters; Mario is awesome in any language. You’ll get to see a sample of Mario's power-ups, including the returned from Super Mario Bros 3 Tanooki suit Mario, Metal Mario, A Boomerang suit that’s more than a subtle nod to the legend of Zelda and of course, the ...

Piracy hit the Nintendo DS pretty hard. Thanks to the R4 flash cart and the wave of others that followed, it’s actually ridiculously easy to run pirated games on Nintendo’s dual-screened handheld. Those same flashcarts can actually run on Nintendo’s new 3DS - but only for playing illicitly backed-up copies of DS games. That could change, if there’s any truth to claims by a group called "Crown3DS,” who say they’ve made headway in running 3DS roms.As it stands right now ... [»]
Apart from the always delightful Yoshinoro Ono, Capcom hasn't been doing much to endear itself to gamers lately. On top of quick cash-ins like the recently released Resident Evil 4 HD (which is just upscaled from the PC version) and the deluge of worthless DLC, it also broke hearts and caused a sea of vitriol when it cancelled fan favourite Mega Man Legends 3.
Many ... [»]
Sony, it seems, doesn’t think too highly of Nintendo’s decision to release a peripheral for the 3DS that adds an extra analogue circle pad to the device. Many believe it’s in response to Sony’s PlayStation Vita, which has two analogue sticks right outta the box - but Sony says otherwise, and wants to distance itself from the hideously large accessory.Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida believes the accessory has nothing to do with the Vita. "Well it's not ... [»]
