| | KISS some Angry Birds! | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 3rd, 2012 | Gene Simmons, and the remnants of his Rock ‘n Roll band, are no strangers to merchandising. They’ve sold everything from Christmas special cartoons to KISS make-up kits, no doubt angering many a staunch mother in the process.
But in what could be one of the more lucrative ideas for the band that is fronted by a pensioner with tongue issues, it seems that Gene Simmons totally wants to cash in on the Angry Birds phenomenon.Simmons ... [»] |

| Not everyone is going to be happy with the ending to Mass Effect 3 | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 3rd, 2012 | The current storyline of Commander Shepard and his galactic fight against the Reapers may be drawing to a close next month, but if you think that this will be the final Mass Effect game ever made, you’d have to be crazier than a human teasing a Krogan when it’s angry.
Still, with Mass Effect 3 shaping up to be a grand send-off for the ... [»] |

| 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 ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - February 3rd, 2012 | Naughty Dog is pretty renowned for making games that look fantastic and the first 3 screenshots released exclusively to GameInformer seem to confirm that we can expect nothing less from their new title, The Last of Us.

| Sony’s latest innovation.. a Wii-U clone | 
Gavin Mannion - February 3rd, 2012 | You’d think Sony would have learned from the lack lustre reception of the Move peripherals that directly copying Nintendo with slight improvements isn’t what we as gamers want. I mean I hardly use my Kinect at all but I don’t think I’ve ever used the Move unless required ... [»] |

| Addicted to Skyrim? Then you need an intervention… | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 2nd, 2012 | Ask anyone what their number one game of the year was, and they’ll most likely say Skyrim. It’s been a phenomenal success for Bethesda, selling over 10 million copies of the game. That’s a lot of dragon-slaying.

| Soul Calibur V wants to rock you, literally | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 2nd, 2012 | What’s the best way to immortalise some fan-favourite video game characters? If your answer included rock, then you’d be 100% correct. To celebrate the release of the Soul Calibur V game, Namco Bandai recently engraved the characters of Mitsurugi and Pyrrha into the side of a granite mountain, in Tanum, Sweden.

| The Sims 3 Master Suite Stuff review – Get Stuff(ed) | 
Abigail Holden - February 2nd, 2012 | In the world of The Sims, a ‘stuff pack’ is really what the name says: like an expansion pack, but it only includes new items (i.e. stuff). There is no new gameplay, unless it’s directly related to a new item. So, naturally, this is a bit of a money-making scheme for EA, as you can buy a Sims 3 expansion pack, complete with new items AND new gameplay, for around R250, while a stuff pack will set you back ...

Geoffrey Tim - February 2nd, 2012 | Motion controlled gaming is the way of the future? Screw that! The future’s all about ocular sensing! EyeAsteroids (why not just…Eyesteroids?) from Tobii Technology uses the company’s supposedly magical eye-tracking wizardry to tell where you’re looking on screen - allowing you to blow stuff up with your eyes.It works by bouncing bits of infra-red light off of your corneas, and using software tracks the changes in your eye position to know where you’re looking."In other words, the eye tracker ...
