In just a couple of decades, video games have changed beyond all recognition. From waiting for hours for our cassette to load up a simple, buggy and ridiculously ugly game on our state of the art Amiga, Commodore 64 or Amstrad in the 1980′s, we now have games consoles with complex and beautiful...

Nintendo’s 3DS handheld will be released on March 25th and eager gamers look set to buy the console in droves – but which games should they be looking to buy to make the most of their shiny new handheld? Here are five of the most promising games set to be released during the 3DS launch window: Nintendogs...

I often wonder if I should have applied for a game design degree.  I completed a degree in Software Engineering nearly 10 years ago with the idea being that maybe I could get a job in the video game industry one day, it never quite worked out like that for me, I ended up in web development.

I signed up the xbox preview programme thingy a few days ago and this morning the preview rolled out to my console for a quick dashboard update. My initial opinion on the twitter/facebook update is that mostly it’s pointless. It’s like the MSN messenger integration, it was great for about...

Firstly I’m not a fan of arcade style fighters, I think Street Fighter 2 almost pushed me over the edge when i was younger, not mention giving me loads of blisters and the possiblity of arthritis in my thumbs. So King of Fighters IIX is my first experience of the series, and overall I’d say...

This is the first Xbox Live Arcade game i’ve been truley excited about. The PC trails games were a regular Friday Beer O Clock fixture a few years ago. The game has come along way judging by the videos we’ve seen circulating around on the Internets. Level creators, realistic physics and amazin...
