| | Max Payne 3’s multiplayer issues | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 17th, 2012 | It seems that Diablo III’s not the only game to suffer from launch issues. Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 - which has been cleaning up in reviews, even being called Rockstar’s best game to date - seems to have a few multiplayer issues. Players on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game have been reporting multiple multiplayer issues, including matchmaking problems ... [»] |

| Bioware wants your suggestions for the next Dragon Age | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 17th, 2012 | Dragon Age Origins, the spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate (without the IP attached to it, unfortunately), was a pleasant surprise for me. Sure, it was a Bioware game and I should have expected it to be awesome - but I hadn’t. Conversely, I expected Dragon Age 2 to be life-changing - and all it changed was my opinion of Bioware. It wasn’t necessarily a bad game, just ... [»] |

| Blizzard apologises for Diablo 3 server issues | 
Gavin Mannion - May 17th, 2012 | In what I feel is slightly overdue but still a most welcome move the team over at Blizzard have issued an official apology for the server issues that have plagued Diablo 3 since it’s launch. In short they admit they miscalculated ... [»] |

| The Ghost Recon Future soldier Launch trailer has no boobs in it | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 16th, 2012 | The last Ghost Recon: Future Soldier promotional is probably one of the worst bits of misplaced video game marketing I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. I love boobs as much as the next guy, but that nonsense was a great example of trying to hammer a square peg in to a circular hole. Thankfully, Ubisoft seems to have come to its senses, as this, the game’s launch trailer is much, ... [»] |

| So when is Darksiders II coming, exactly? | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 16th, 2012 | I rather enjoyed Darksiders. It had its problems, and was accused of being derivative, but I loved playing a more grown-up Zelda-styled game. Naturally, I’ve been looking forward to to its sequel featuring Death (that’s with a capital “D”) instead of War - and was more than a little bummed when THQ announced that it would ... [»] |

| Capcom blames poor SFxT sales on cannibalism | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 16th, 2012 | I really like Capcom’s crossover collaboration,. Street fighter X Tekken. It’s a deceptively complex, fun little fighter, held together with some genuine innovation. It hasn’t performed quite as well at retail as Capcom would’ve liked though - selling short of the company’s expectations and moving just 1.6 million units worldwide since its launch. Why? Too many fighting games in too short a time, ... [»] |

| Why Diablo 3 needs that constant Internet connection | 
Gavin Mannion - May 16th, 2012 | Yesterday we posted up the article about how the Diablo 3 launch has been marred by their server collapse and unsurprisingly Blizzard are not enjoying hearing about how the most anticipated title of the year isn’t being enjoyed by all that pre-ordered it.
In our article Geoff mentioned that he believes the ... [»] |

| Angry Birds Space review – Starship Enterprise Bacon | 
Abigail Holden - May 16th, 2012 | Those Angry Birds are back, and they’re still angry. The green pigs are also smugger than ever before. I can understand why the Birds are so livid. As if you needed an excuse to wipe those smug grins off their piggy faces, Angry Birds Space is here to fill the void. If you’re new to the Angry Birds franchise, there’s plenty of flavours available, on PC and various phones and tablets, ... [»] |

| Blizzard aren’t making Diablo for the console, maybe | 
Gavin Mannion - May 16th, 2012 | According to the Diablo 3 game director, Jay Wilson, they haven’t even started experimenting on making a console port of Diablo 3 even though they advertised for someone to help with the conversion. No they just stated that in the advert to entice quality employees but in reality ... [»] |

| 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; ... [»] |

| 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 ... [»] |
