Has the Wii doomed Nintendo’s next console to failure?
At the time of writing there is little doubt that the Nintendo Wii leads the current generation of home consoles in terms of hardware sales by some margin.
The console sits comfortably in its lofty throne; peering down on the ongoing tit for tat battle between Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s Playstation 3, its competitors almost [...]
Mario invades Left 4 Dead in Mushroom Massacre.
I guess it was inevitable given the various amount of Mario styled maps fans already make for other games; but somehow seeing Valve’s undead horde wandering through the Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario 64) is rather unsettling!
Currently 25% complete, you can follow the progress of Mushroom Massacre on l4dmaps.com. The first part of the campaign is [...]
Playing the greatest adventure of all.
It’s late Sunday morning. The better half is at work on a training day, the dog has been fed and is now lazily mooching round the garden looking for sticks and bugs to eat. I’ve successfully handled the kids breakfast without incident and the youngest (Lily, who’s just over a year old) has been changed [...]

Team Fortress 2 Beta Update Leaked on You Tube.
One of Valve’s beta testers has recently released footage of a beta update on You Tube. Guess that’s the NDA broken then. Perhaps a Spy really is sapping Valve’s sentry!

10 years of Dreamcast; the 10 best games.
Sega’s Dreamcast celebrated its 10th Birthday recently so this would seem the perfect time to take a look at ten of the Dreamcast’s best games.
The Dreamcast has always been something of a paradox; a superb gaming machine with great games that was somehow never truly loved until it was dead.
Despite its short life, the Dreamcast [...]
Left 4 Dead modder to fly Gabe to Australia?
Further to yesterday’s news about Valve flying two Left 4 Dead 2 boycotters to their offices in Seattle, it’s nice to see some fun amongst the chaos!
A modder working on a campaign for the original Left 4 Dead sent Gabe an email asking why he hadn’t been invited to Valve so that they could preview [...]
Valve rewards childish boycotters.
As a keen Steam user and Left 4 Dead player, I have to say the latest actions undertaken by Valve have really ticked me off.
Most of you will be aware of the ridiculous uproar from certain members of the Steam community when Valve released news that they were working on Left 4 Dead 2.
Accusations of [...]
Dreamcast Lives!
Just in time for the 10th Birthday of Sega’s brilliant Dreamcast console (at least if your American), comes news of another new game for the system – Rush Rush Rally Racing by Senile Team (developer of Beats of Rage).
The game is a top down racer (think Micro Machines /Super Cars) that can be played by [...]
Finally the Sonic game we have been waiting for?
Sega have just announced that they are at last developing a Sonic game which will go back to the series 2D roots.
After years of fans complaining about Sonic’s pretty dire 3D adventures, it seems as though Sega have finally listened.
The game, currently known as Project Needlemouse, will be built entirely from the ground [...]
