Call of Duty Elite iOS application now available

Meet Fiona, a Razer gaming PC tablet

So what are you playing games on when you’re away from your domicile? A Nintendo 3DS? A PS Vita that had you jumping through hoops so that you could smuggle it in from Japan? Or how about a tablet device? Now, while each device has its merits, they’ve also got their own drawbacks as well. But just imagine what it ... [»]

Sony backing the Vita with its biggest marketing push ever

 - January 10th, 2012
It’s just 7 weeks until Sony’s PSP successor, the touch-screen enabled PlayStation Vita will be released in Western markets. It’s been available in the land of Ramen and panty-spewing vending machines for under a month, but has failed thus far to topple the mighty 3DS, selling just a third of the number of units in a comparable time frame. Don’t write it off just yet; it’ll likely gain a lot more ... [»]

Monkeybin apologises for its pre-written reviews

Yesterday we uh…expressed dissatisfaction…with the way Monkeybin studios treated us and our readers as idiots - by providing pre-written, overwhelmingly positive reviews of one of their games for us to post on the site. To make it more of a slap in the face, they didn’t even provide us with a copy of the game so we could make up our own minds. They’ve now issued an apology via email; although ... [»]

Developer sends out positive reviews for us to use

As a games news and reviews outlet, we’re often bombarded by PR people and their incessant press releases from all over the world to feature content - or maybe review some game that we’ve never heard of.
