Johnny Walkerthrough – Surgeon Simulator 2013

April 24, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 26 Comments

Every so often, we get a weird game on our doorstep that can’t be played with a conventional train of thought. That’s when people come to me. And usually pay me off with some cheap scotch. These are the Johnny Walker-throughs. And today, we’re attempting heart transplants and organ removals.

Let the blood flow in Surgeon Simulator 2013

April 22, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 19 Comments

If there’s one genre in the game industry that is clearly not being filled, it’s surgery games. Normally, Trauma Center on the DS would allow you to cut a swathe of pentagrams into a patient to allow the healing power of Satan to do its magic, but that’s a dead franchise. And then you get Surgeon Simulator 2013.

FIFA 14 kicks in later this year

April 18, 2013 at 7:45 am | 33 Comments

When FIFA 14 arrives later this year, old scores will be settled. Scores like 2-1, and 1-0. The giants of the Premier League will take on the titans of UEFA, and thus look relatively the same size in comparison. Every kick massively mattering to someone! Presumably! It’s the football! And if you watch it hard enough, it will move!

While Sony are yet to officially confirm a release date or price for the PlayStation 4 that hasn’t stopped the CFO of the worlds largest gaming retailer, Gamestop, stating that it will in fact be released this year.

Ashes Cricket 2013 goes for a six in July

March 20, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 30 Comments

I don’t love cricket, oh no. I love it! Oh yeah! Believe it or not, I actually dig cricket. Now, I may not have any understanding of what the more detailed terms of cricket are, such as wickets, runs, fours and Duckworth Lewis, but I still enjoy watching two teams of men attempt to clobber the crap out of one another to get their ball past the goal lines. And it looks like we’re in for a new round of Ashes Cricket this year!

And the 2013 GDCA nominations are…

January 25, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 38 Comments

It’s safe to say that anyone these days can have a video game awards event. Some people you trust more than others when it comes to dishing out awards, and some get an eyeball rolling so hard that you’re likely to pop your peepers out in the process. But one show that does carry some weight every year, are the Game Developers Choice Awards. These are the guys and gals within the industry itself that vote on what they consider to be the best of the best every year. Here’s a look at who is rocking what nomination this year.

MotoGP 13 revealed and dated

January 16, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 11 Comments

Much like sports, I have absolutely no idea what to actually write about when it comes to activities featuring two bikes travelling really fast. So I’m going to wing it. The next iteration in the franchise has returned home to MotoGP 08 developer Milestone Studio, after the closure of Monumental Games who had been in control for the last four years. And it looks like Milestone wants to reinvent the genre.

FFD: What are you looking forward to this year?

January 4, 2013 at 11:00 am | 79 Comments

Welcome one and all to the very first Flamebait Friday Debate of 2013, most everyone is still on leave so we could use this time to fling obscenities at them or we could be more civil and just have a chat about what we are all looking forward to this year.

The Xbox 360 has just one exclusive for 2013

December 11, 2012 at 12:00 pm | 6 Comments

 

2012 is done and dusted for gaming this year, with Far Cry 3 being the last real notable release on the gaming calendar. Well, except for those Wii U games that Geoff is burning his life-force away to get finished and reviewed. And that Epic Mickey game on the 3DS that I’m certain is a form of a divine punishment. But enough of that! What’s 2013 got in store for gamers then, huh? Let’s take a looksie.

Prepare…For Mortal Kombain!

November 16, 2012 at 4:29 pm | 13 Comments

Farming Simulator 2013 is out, and we’ve been struggling to get Yolanda to finish the review for it. That’s mostly due to the fact that whenever she boots the game up, she slips into a catatonic state in order to preserve her sanity. But believe it or not, there is a way to make the game actually interesting. And it calls for some… MORTAL KOMBAIN!

Prepare for the ultimate Halo 4 tournament!

October 3, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 7 Comments

There’s more than one big shooty-Mcshootshoot game coming out towards the end of this year, y’know. Halo returns in November, kicking off a whole new cycle of Master Chief violence and teabagging. And to make this new launch special, there’s a tournament in the works, with some grand prizes up for grabs. More after the jump.

Flamebait Friday Debate: Who’s taking the football crown this year?

September 28, 2012 at 10:00 am | 27 Comments

We have this discussion every year, but it never gets old. FIFA and PES are once again going head to head, but this time, it looks like PES 2013 might be the best looking football game out this year.

Rumour – PES 2013 might also be delayed

September 20, 2012 at 1:15 pm | 10 Comments

We’re still crying about the fact that Borderlands 2 (And to a lesser extent, F1 2012),will only be arriving next week Thursday, but some things just can’t be helped in life. Still, while fans of shoot ‘n loot action won’t be playing that sequel over the long weekend, at least footie fans will get to indulge in the beautiful game, right? Maybe, maybe not, because it looks like PES 2013 might also be missing the release date goal window this Friday as well.

Lazygamer TV – Five games that we can’t wait for in 2013

July 6, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 25 Comments

 Last week, we had a round up of the rest of the games that will be appearing in 2012. Barring any more delays that is (WE’VE GOT OUR EYES ON YOU FAR CRY 3!). The thing is, there are still plenty of great games coming out in 2013, titles which give us a happy fizzy feeling near certain glands situated by the prostate.

While we go to a doctor to go get checked out, you can see for yourself what we’re talking about.
