James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes 3D review – Criminal Negligence

 - January 25th, 2012
It is Hollywood in the 1960s, and you are taking part in a game show about puzzles. While busy on the show, you meet an old friend who is now an FBI agent investigating a serial killer who targets the winners of the TV show that you are currently a contestant in. He asks for your help to solve the puzzles left behind by the killer. The clues lead to new victims, and you end ... [»]

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 ... [»]

The 3DS continues to smash Japanese sales records

 - January 9th, 2012
The market for dedicated handhelds, thanks to the proliferation of gaming capable smartphones and tablets, has shrunk to nothing. Nintendo, likewise, is doomed; their new 3DS has stalled at retail, proving itself to be a worthlessly unnecessary bit of tech. Only neither of those statements is true. We’ve reported ... [»]

How the Stop Online Piracy Act could affect you

 - January 5th, 2012
We at Lazygamer have made our stance on piracy quite well known; we detest and abhor the theft (and it is theft!) of software. We understand the need for IP holder to protect their rights. That said, there’s no way in hell we can support the controversially vague Stop Online Piracy Act and its evil little cousin the Protect IP act. In case you’re unaware, SOPA and PIPA are currently trying to work their way in to US legislature, and could very well end up changing the face of the internet as ... [»]

Pokémon Rumble Blast Review – Gotta wind ‘em all up!

With Pokémon Black and White releasing to rave reviews last year, as it successfully recaptured the magic of the original games despite using the exact same formula for its design, players were left wanting more indigenous wildlife to capture than a hungry hobo in a zoo. But while players wait for Nintendo and ... [»]

Despite popular belief the 3DS is actually booming

 - January 4th, 2012
It’s amazing what you can be led to believe simply by subjective reading and listening to rumours. If anyone had asked you about how the Nintendo 3DS was doing you’d likely tell them that the sales are slow and the handheld is on the verge of ... [»]

Capcom has TOP MEN working on Mega Man, right now!

 - December 9th, 2011
Capcom’s pretty much given Mega-man fans a kick to the teeth of late. Not only was the admittedly odd and mostly rubbish looking Mega Man Universe canned, but they also - and this is much more crucial - went and canned the highly anticipated Mega Man Legends 3 - largely because at the time the 3DS wasn’t selling.  Then they even went and ...

The 3DS gets a firmware update too, adds “accomplishments”

While some Xbox Live users are  still left without the paid-for online service after having updated their consoles to the latest, admittedly sexy firmware, Nintendo 3DS users are finding that their system’s also privy to a firmware update.The update adds 3D video recording, which is pretty neat - even if it is quite low res. It also lays the groundwork for publishers to begin selling (and hopefully ... [»]

Mario Kart 7 review – A work of Kart

 - December 6th, 2011
It’s easy to say that if you’ve played one Mario Kart, you’ve played them all. Though some iterations of the game have been a little more daring than others, for the most part that’s true. Mario Kart is the the same as it ever was; 3 tight laps around  a colourfully complex courses with the multiple branching paths, with an angry mushroom firing shells behind ... [»]

The 3DS is actually outperforming the original DS’ sales

 - December 2nd, 2011
Nintendo’s new 3D handheld, the 3DS hasn’t done so well at retail. Or at least that’s what we’ve all believed. Turns out, that’s not exactly true. Sure, its initial momentum wasn’t exceptionally high - but it’s picked up. Guess that huge price drop’s helped then.According to Nintendo of America’s meaty master Reggie Fils-Aime the device has seen a significant upswing, and has garnered "positive momentum since the digital content came onboard with ...

Super Mario 3D Land review – Plumber’s bum

 - November 21st, 2011
Nintendo’s flagship 3DS has been beset with sales problems. though anticipation for the device was exceedingly high, it’s found itself flustered at retail, often not even able to stand up to the performance of Sony’s now ancient PSP. Though the device dropped in price - by a staggering 40% in some regions - giving it a bit of a momentum boost, what it really needs is ... [»]
