| Minecraft Xbox 360 review – Bring out your creative side | 
Garth Holden - May 15th, 2012 | Do you like Lego? Ever fancied building something, but either not having 10 000 of the same colour blocks, or having to pack up every day stop your creative genius? I always wanted to build the Death Star, but only had about 100 grey blocks. Luckily, if you suffered from any of these constraints, Minecraft is here for you.
Minecraft is all about cubes, because everything is made of cubes. Dirt cubes, stone cubes, water cubes; ... [»] |

| Capcom’s re-evaluating its DLC policies | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 15th, 2012 | Capcom’s been the subject of a lot of gamer ire of late - mostly a result of its policies regarding DLC. It’s something they did with Marvel vs Capcom 3 and more recently Street Fighter x Tekken that’s been getting gamer’s back ups; charging money for content that’s already on retail discs under the guise of DLC.
Capcom’s Capcom US boss Christian Svensson would like you to know that the company is re-evaluating how it ... [»] |

| Call of Duty critic and user scores over the years | 
Gavin Mannion - May 15th, 2012 | While stumbling through reddit, which BTW takes up far too much time in my day, I came across this chart that plots the critic and user scores for each Call of Duty title over the years. What is most surprising really is how the user score is following ... [»] |

| Diablo 3 Launch – BT Games Eastgate Edition | 
Matthew Figueira - May 15th, 2012 | If you're reading this and you attended a Diablo 3 midnight launch, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you survived your clickathon which probably lasted into the wee hours of the morning.
With various retailers offering launch parties, it may have been tricky to choose where to go. I attended the BT Games Eastgate launch, and they seemed well prepared for the occasion.Snacks : Important!
I arrived at the store around 9pm, and even then ... [»] |

| Diablo 3 launch marred by server collapse | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 15th, 2012 | Diablo III is finally available pretty much globally - and those that’ve managed to get some game time in are pretty elated. the problem though is that many gamers haven’t been able to get the game working at all, instead fighting with an error message that’s prevented them from logging on to the game’s authentication servers.
The game’s servers went online last night, but promptly fell over under the weight of millions of gamers trying to ... [»] |

| Cliffy B thinks that Japanese gaming developers need to be more social | 
Darryn Bonthuys - May 15th, 2012 | I’m a big fan of Japanese games. They’re crazy, beautiful, and usually touch on genres and themes that western developers wouldn’t even approach, in the FPS-centric market today. But as great as those games are, they’re kind of targeted towards more niche markets, with titles not always selling spectacularly in foreign markets, which is where all the real money is.
One gameplay factor that many a Japanese game is missing, ... [»] |

| The Xbox 360 owes its success to Sony’s mistakes | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 15th, 2012 | Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is the global (well, mostly US) leader when it comes to current gen consoles. It’s been the top selling console in the Us for the last 15 or so weeks and is, by any measure, a success. Former president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division Robbie Bach believes Sony’s poor handling of the transition between the PlayStation 2 and ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - May 15th, 2012 | So all the excitement for us yesterday was the impending release of Diablo 3 but over in America they had another massive release with Max Payne 3 also hitting the store shelves at the very same time. It will be interesting to compare sales in the coming weeks ... [»] |

| The Halo 4 box art is just beautiful | 
Gavin Mannion - May 15th, 2012 | The Halo 4 box art has been released in a unique way over in the States with 343 Industries slowly sending out 32 separate images out to certain news sites. The catch was that all 32 needed to be put together to reveal the new Halo 4 box ... [»] |

| What’s the most disappointing game you’ve ever bought? | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 14th, 2012 | I’m a huge fan of the Ghostbusters. When I was a kid, I’d watch the first film over and over until the VHS tape wore thin and snapped. I thought Bill Murray was a god among men (I still do, kinda) and the Harold Ramis/ Dan Akroyd-penned script is largely responsible, along with a box of 1970’s editions of MAD Magzine for shaping my sense of humour. As a ... [»] |

| Here’s Dragon’s Dogma’s Launch Trailer | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 14th, 2012 | I’ve said a lot about Dragon’s Dogma over the last few weeks. I’ve played a good portion of it, and I’m excited for its release. It’s Capcom’s first foray in to open-world high fantasy, and it’s filled, as you’d expect with all manner of beats - like Dragons (obviously), giant cockatrices, ouroboroses, Cyclopses and countless more. Because of its open-world nature its drawing a ... [»] |

| The Art of the Instakill – An all-star extravaganza of murder and melee | 
Darryn Bonthuys - May 14th, 2012 | If there’s one thing that I hate in my gaming, it’s Instakills. I’m not against them, it’s just that so few games can do them right, such as playing that round of Call of Duty that always hosts a lunatic running around in stab-happy mode.
Some games, do get them right spectacularly, like Mass Effect 3, in matches that make such a powerful function something ... [»] |
