| | Soul Calibur V Review – The soul still burns | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 3rd, 2012 | February may be the month where gaming finally puts a boot to the ass of gamer wallets, but if there is one genre that is leading the pack this year, it has to be the category of fisticuffs and pugilism.
First out of the fighting genre stables this year is Soul Calibur V, bringing with it some familiar mechanics and characters, but can the latest ... [»] |

| FFD: Is the videogame industry falling apart? | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 3rd, 2012 | Things aren’t looking especially good for the video game industry. THQ, one of the industry’s major publishers and developers is on the rocks - cutting jobs and devaluing by the second. If they do crumble, they wouldn’t be alone; the depressing list of developers who’ve shuttered their doors this generation is staggering.
Industry Giant Sony has reported its fourth consecutive year in the red, and even Nintendo - who spent the beginning of this generation ... [»] |

| Saints Row the Third Genki Bowl DLC Review – I (didn’t) survive a Japanese game show | 
Darryn Bonthuys - January 31st, 2012 | With the latest title in the Saints Row franchise releasing last year, it was clear that the gangsters from Stillwater had finally escaped the image of a Grand Theft Auto clone and had managed to forge their own identity, one that was loaded with off the wall absurdity, cheesy stereotypes and absolute insanity.
While the loco experience may not have been to everybody's taste, it ... [»] |

| Moosa’s Musings: This is what’s wrong with Skyrim | 
Tauriq Moosa - January 30th, 2012 | I feel like a non-French speaker stumbling into a conference of snobs. The reason for this rests primarily with a game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Everyone, from Lazygamer’s own Garth Holden to my non-existent children, had been waiting for and then, upon procuring, has loved this game. Big words and loaded descriptions, pumped full of the hot air of gamers’ expectations, took up unnecessary focus in the gaming landscape, like a fat man sitting in front of ... [»] |

| Lazygamer TV – The most overlooked games of 2011 | 
Darryn Bonthuys - January 27th, 2012 | With the best of 2012 yet to come, and the worst of 2011 behind us, we thought that we’d take a look this week at those games which were largely ignored, quality titles that got lost in a sea of big budget releases and marketing campaigns.
As an added bonus, BT Games has a spectacular Assassins Creed hamper to give away that includes the hard to find AC: Encyclopedia, a rare item that is not available ... [»] |

| Ten Questions – Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Q&A | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 25th, 2012 | I’m sure many of you reading know that I’ve been telling pretty much anyone willing to listen that I’m pretty excited for Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning, the action-RPG from 38 Studios and Big Huge Games that takes a little bit of a Dragon Age, a dash of God ...

| What’s this generation’s most critically acclaimed game series? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 20th, 2012 | Though it’s probably still far from over, this generation’s given us some of the very best in video games. New IP’s like Gears of War, Resistance and Uncharted have changed the way we perceive games - and helped push gaming in to the hearts and minds of a wider, more mainstream audience. Such is the impact these games have had that many of them have become whole franchises within ... [»] |

| Flux Family Secrets: The Ripple Effect review – Get Fluxed | 
Abigail Holden - January 17th, 2012 | The second hidden object game we looked at was Flux Family Secrets – The Ripple Effect. While still a hidden object game, the approach and style is somewhat different from Awakening – The Dreamless Castle. This time around, you’re in a more modern setting. As a young woman investigating her heritage, you receive a mysterious letter with instructions to visit a mysterious mansion. After a meeting with the mysterious inhabitants there, you ... [»] |

| Awakening: The Dreamless Castle review – Wake me up when it’s over | 
Abigail Holden - January 16th, 2012 | If the mere thought of a hidden object game makes your eyes water, then do not read any further. If, however, this kind of challenge does appeal to you, you’ve come to the right place. Most gaming stores now have entire shelves or stands dedicated to this genre of PC games. The general idea is to spot objects in a scene and solve various puzzles.
We’ve had a look at three such games from Big Fish ... [»] |

| Hands on with the final Fantasy XIII-2 demo | 
Garth Holden - January 13th, 2012 | Gamers just weren’t enamoured by Final Fantasy XIII. Sure, it had just about the most interesting battle system we’ve seen in a JRPG in ages, but its linearity bored many to tears. Final Fantasy XIII-2, according to its creators, is meant to fix the many issues that plagued its predecessor. We’ve had a go at the demo, available on Xbox Live and PSN.

Darryn Bonthuys - January 13th, 2012 | In the next six months, your wallet and bank account is going to take one hell of a battering, much like an abused fish out of water. We had a look at the next six months, and chose thirteen games that have us hot under the collar for their release.
