Back in the days when I was playing the PlayStation 2 and the Original Xbox. I didn’t give a second thought to downloadable content (or DLC to us savvy gamers out there) or game add ons. I would spend hours on end happily playing and replaying games. Back on the PS2 I was playing things like Tekken and Soul Caliber happy in the knowledge that if I wanted that new costume or new character for my roster. I would have [...]
PlayStation Network to be down longer than expected It’s been a couple of weeks since 77 million PS3 users found themselves without access to online services – but it’s not over yet.

Ok so I was a late comic book reader, kind of favouring the graphic novel side of things more than the marvel comic books. But then I got into Manga and that kind of changed. If you walk into my flat you will see half a shelf engulfed with manga books and graphic [...]
The very idea of downloading some of the best games that retro has to offer on your Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network and the Wii store has to be one of the most genius ideas that has come out of online gaming in a fair while. The very fact that I have all the sonic games I fell in love with at an early age sitting on my 360 hard drive amazes me. I have years of nostalgia on one console. [...]

So when the next Lara Croft game is announced your automatically going to think, ‘oooo another tomb raider!’ well this time I am afraid you are wrong. Yes there is a new Lara Croft game coming out, b ut it isn’t a tomb raider title. Let me shed some [...]
