| Lazygamer TV – Top five current-gen fighting games | Darryn Bonthuys - March 29th, 2012 | If there is one pastime that brings people together, it most definitely is fighting. Bashing an opponent senseless is something that’s been with us since the dawn of time, from the ancient gladiatorial battles of Rome, through to the old-timey boxing matches of a more Victorian age, culminating in various sports where such techniques are put to use today.

| The Xbox 360 is now used more for entertainment than online gaming | Geoffrey Tim - March 28th, 2012 | Originally billed mostly as a dedicated games console in contrast to Sony’s multimedia-focused PlayStation 3, Microsoft’s done all it can in recent years to position their Xbox 360 as the premier go-to entertainment device and have it take over living rooms. It’s been very successful. Perhaps too successful. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is now used more for watching movies and TV shows, and listening to music online than it is for playing video ... [»] |

| Lazygamer TV – Five great games based on movies | Darryn Bonthuys - March 22nd, 2012 | I won’t sugar-coat the truth here, the majority of games based on movie properties are absolutely terrible. Most of them are cheap tie-ins that are there to make a quick buck, but sometimes, something amazing happens.
Sometimes, players actually get a game that is rather enjoyable, and dare we say it, fun to play.So we had a look at that sub-genre, and found five such games. As an added bonus, we’re giving away two ... [»] |

| Real life GTA in first person view… okay then | Gavin Mannion - March 19th, 2012 | I would have liked to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous but our first story of the day was ridiculous and this isn’t exactly sublime but we work with what we have.

Alongside several dozen lucky participants, we entered the Mweb M-cave for a night of food and fun, dipping our feet into the co-op gameplay of Mass Effect 3, while marvelling at how ... [»] |

| Fake Black Ops 2 video hits the Internet | Gavin Mannion - March 13th, 2012 | One of the parts of the gaming industry that I don’t really enjoy is the amount of fake news that fans make and attempt to flog off onto the unsuspecting public.
Then we get stuck in a predicament where we really should just ignore this stuff but now that it’s going viral ... [»] |

Tea, crumpets, cake and fake accents followed in a meeting that would most likely convince our respective bosses to want to institutionalise ... [»] |

| Ghost Recon: Do you believe in ghosts? Part Deux! | Gavin Mannion - March 9th, 2012 | I had some hands on time with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier at Rage last year along with some handholding from Pierre de Margerie and it has been burned into my consciousness from that point on.
The game looked and felt incredible even with such an early build and while I’m not yet sold on the multiplayer aspect of the game ... [»] |
