| Arcades are dead – but their spirit lives on in online fighting games | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 31st, 2012 | Man, I miss arcades. If you never huddled around a Street Fighter 2 cabinet, surrounded by complete strangers who would eventually become friends, vying for the next spot on the unofficial roster by placing your coin around the screen’s edge - thenyou’ve missed a special part of gaming history. Unfortunately, that bit of gaming is pretty much dead, with traditional arcade games making way for more kid-oriented ticket dispensing machines. It’s sad ... [»] |

| The PSN’s top games of 2011 | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 24th, 2012 | Microsoft’s generally pretty forthcoming with list of how well digital titles perform on their Xbox Live service. Sony’s a little less so - so we rarely get to see how well games are doing on the PSN - but Sony has provided a list of the ten best-selling PSN games and downloadable content on the service. what’s come out on top? The ... [»] |

| Hands on with the final Fantasy XIII-2 demo | 
Garth Holden - January 13th, 2012 | Gamers just weren’t enamoured by Final Fantasy XIII. Sure, it had just about the most interesting battle system we’ve seen in a JRPG in ages, but its linearity bored many to tears. Final Fantasy XIII-2, according to its creators, is meant to fix the many issues that plagued its predecessor. We’ve had a go at the demo, available on Xbox Live and PSN.

| Amy devs want you to decide the price of their game | 
Darryn Bonthuys - January 9th, 2012 | January is one of those months with a rather sparse selection of games arriving. Fortunately, gamers have access to a robust marketplace across all major platforms, with a wide variety of genres and games to dip into at a lower price on any given day.
One of those titles has to be the digital horror game Amy, which launches on Wednesday. Xbox players will be ... [»] |

| Gotham City Imposters delayed | 
Darryn Bonthuys - January 6th, 2012 | By now, you’ve probably run across every rooftop, and batmanned the ever-living crud out of every incarcerated thug within the walls of the super-prison and damn fine game that is Batman: Arkham City.
So what’s else can a digital vigilante do to pass the time? Why, takes sides in the Monolith Studios developed Gotham City Imposters of course! The quirky FPS is crawling with nods ... [»] |

| Man sues Sony for being refused to sue | 
Gavin Mannion - December 20th, 2011 | And who didn’t see this one coming? Remember a little while back the evil lawyers behind Sony decided to add in a clause to their PSN terms and conditions stating that by agreeing to use the PSN you waive the right to sue them, ever, over anything? And ... [»] |

| Sorcery’s back – and it looks magical | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 15th, 2011 | If there’s one single game that made me buy a PlayStation Move kit, its Sorcery; a better Harry Potter game than the actual Harry Potter games. It was shown off at E3 in 2010, blew people’s minds, and then pretty much disappeared. Well it’s back with a dash of revengeance. Sony’s sent out a press release not only reminding us ... [»] |

| FFD: Why Do We Support Game Companies That Don’t Care About Us? | 
Nick de Bruyne - December 15th, 2011 | Being South African means you get a good grip on what it feels like to be left out.
I take DICE and EA for example, who are happy to take full price from us for Battlefield 3 in South Africa, with absolutely no intentions of hosting dedicated console servers for us, something that the rest of the world gets quite happily. MWEB (local ... [»] |

| Tony Hawk’s back – and in HD! | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 12th, 2011 | Last week we told you that Tony Hawk was bringing his brand of insane videogame skating back - something that was largely met with moaning and groaning. It’s something that came during the #JHBGamers lunch this weekend; after the joy that is Skate, the only way that a Tony Hawk game will find its audience again would be to recapture the magic of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 ...

| Turns out the Vita DOES support multiple accounts | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 9th, 2011 | A report earlier this week, saying the PlayStation Vita would be locked to just one account may have been incorrect. According to the Japanese Vita FAQ, you’d need to do a factory reset to connect a new account to the handheld. Turns out that’s not exactly true.While you will indeed be locked to a single account, that account isn’t tied ... [»] |

| David Jaffe hopes Twisted Metal avoids having an online pass | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 8th, 2011 | Earlier this year Sony started utilising online passes for its multiplayer games. David’s Jaffe’s new Twisted Metal for the PS3 is heavily multiplayer focused, and as such will more than likely be implemented in his game.
That doesn’t mean he wants it there, though. We’ve had a run in with the outspoken Jaffe before, but we love the guy, not least because most of ... [»] |

| Microsoft joins the “can’t sue us” bandwagon | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 8th, 2011 | Earlier this year, there was a bit of an outrage over Sony’s new PSN terms and conditions. Through their EULA, Sony made it so that by agreeing to use their services, you’ve also agreed not to sue or enter class-action litigation against them. EA soon followed suit soon after with a similar set of T’s&C’s. It looks like Microsoft’s not too keen on Class-action lawsuits either - ... [»] |
