| | Your guide to local game distributors and social media | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 3rd, 2012 | Here at Lazygamer we’re all about community. It’s all about you guys, the readers. We are - as some of you know, pretty active on social media - particularly Twitter, and probably not quite as active of Facebook as we should be. Did you know though, that most of the guys who bring you new games every week are also ... [»] |

| What’s this generation’s most critically acclaimed game series? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 20th, 2012 | Though it’s probably still far from over, this generation’s given us some of the very best in video games. New IP’s like Gears of War, Resistance and Uncharted have changed the way we perceive games - and helped push gaming in to the hearts and minds of a wider, more mainstream audience. Such is the impact these games have had that many of them have become whole franchises within ... [»] |

| As of March 1, Hudson is no more | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 18th, 2012 | If you grew up in the era when Japanese video gamer developers ruled the industry, the name Hudson Soft would be instantly recognisable. They’re the people who brought you Adventure Island, Bonk’s Adventure and of course, Bomberman. The company was gobbled up by ... [»] |

| North American sales stats for December 2011 | 
Gavin Mannion - January 13th, 2012 | One of the things I’m jealous of North America for is their ability to track and publicise pretty much everything but in this instance, gaming sales.
The NPD track all gaming related sales in North America (excl digital and Wallmart) and then publicise the results monthly ... [»] |

| How the Stop Online Piracy Act could affect you | 
Geoffrey Tim - 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 ... [»] |

| What games are you looking forward to in 2012? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 5th, 2012 | I think we can all agree that 2011 was a wonderful year for games - probably one of the best in recent memory. It gave us Rayman Origins, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Skyward Sword and a list of other magical games too long to mention. It looks like 2012 could even be better; with a line up consisting - so far - of Kingdoms of Amalur, ... [»] |

| Steam hits 5 million concurrent users | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 4th, 2012 | PC gaming. Yeah, definitely dead. Console gamers, and indeed the entire videogame industry have been telling you this for years now. Only nothing could be further from the truth - as Steam’s stats testify.No doubt fuelled by another of its ridiculous sales, Steam passed the 5 million concurrent users mark late last month, and again yesterday. For reference, Xbox Live saw its highest ... [»] |

| So what were the most pirated games of 2011 | 
Gavin Mannion - January 3rd, 2012 | Unbelievably 2011 is now far behind us and 2012 stretches out in front of us and promises to be one of the best years of gaming we’ve ever had.
However 2011 is going to be a hard year to beat with some incredible titles released but while Skyrim may have taken most ... [»] |

| The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best Wii Exclusive | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 23rd, 2011 | The Wii is nearing the end of its life. Nintendo’s replacing it next year with the Wii U, a tablet controlled console that seeks to bridge the gap that exists between the casual and the core. Though the Wii’s taking its last, dying breaths, that doesn’t mean that there’s not a wealth of incredible games still to be found on the system - and many ... [»] |

| There’s Youtube (and more!) on your Xbox RIGHT NOW | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 14th, 2011 | I switched on my Xbox this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a big fat Youtube banner on the apps page - which means the rest of Microsoft’s digital video on demand services have gone live. There is, of course, a caveat in that as usual, some services are only available in certain countries. Here’s what’s working where.Here’s a list of new video apps ... [»] |

| Zelda’s motion controls aren’t going away | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 13th, 2011 | The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword features some of the best motion controls in a game - marrying traditional and motion controls beautifully. Sure, the left-handed link has magically switched his dominant arm to cater for the waggling masses, but its resulted in what’s arguably the best Zelda yet. Nintendo hopes fans like those motion controls - ... [»] |

| And the Spike TV VGA winners are… | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 12th, 2011 | With all the announcements, trailers and celebrity endorsements at the Video Game Awards, it’s easy to forget that it’s actually an awards ceremony. Actually, it’s especially easy to forget - because it seems as the years have gone on, the awards have taken a complete backseat to the PR shenanigans; so much so that ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - December 7th, 2011 | If you have a copy of Zelda’s latest adventure, Skyward Sword, then you need to take a moment to read this as Nintendo has announced a possible game ending bug that has been found. Unfortunately to explain how the bug occurs ... [»] |
