Shit game. Nice

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 Posted in Games | 2 Comments »

It's a free game. It's a little game. It's a shit game. Well, that's how it may seem. The graphics are extremely simple, and the levels are short, but it works. I wouldn't recommend this game if it cost you ...

Rumoured Rock Band pricing? Not funny!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

OK. Let me start by saying the more I hear about Rock Band in Australia, the less I want it. And I want you good people to join me. We shouldn't be treated this way, and we shouldn't stand for ...

A quick post of Nintendo goodness

Sunday, July 27th, 2008 Posted in Games | 2 Comments »

OK, not much to say here, but following Nintendo's poor performance at E3 (Wii Music, while an interesting concept, looked like a terribly realised kid's game... sigh), the Shig-meister (Shigeru Miyamoto, otherwise known as "The friggin' MAN") has been reported ...

GH vs RB: A winner arises from the set lists? Maybe

Friday, July 25th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

Last week, during E3, the set list for Rock Band 2 was released. I didn't post about it, mainly because I didn't have time, and also because I didn't think it was worth it. I've gotten so excited about Rock ...

Aussies pay heaps more for games
