The embargoes have lifted, and the world is now able to tell us what it thinks of Nathan Drake’s latest adventure, in Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception. As you’d expect, the scores are all exceptionally high (well, except for the notoriously stingy Eurogamer, who have it an 8). The general opinion seems to be that it’s an excellent game - but a little ... [»]

Some of you are upset that you’ll have to pick up the regular, vanilla edition of Modern Warfare 3, whether you like it or not. Putting our tin-foil hats on, we suspected this may have something to do with the Hardened Edition’s inclusion of Elite service itself - and that some facets of the service won’t be functional or supported in South Africa. We contacted the game’s local ... [»]
Last week at Gamescom, Activision executive Eric Hirschberg coolly and soberly chided EA for its trash-talking antics, saying it’s “one thing to want your game to succeed and another thing to actively, publicly say you want other games to fail.†He was, of course, referring to EA’s head honcho John Riccitiello saying he wants to see Call of Duty ‘rot from ...
