By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

Well isn’t this a nice suprise… I just received a press release from Microsoft announcing a local price cut for the Xbox 360. The new RRP for the Arcade model is R1999 (R700 off), The Pro is now sitting at R2999 (R700 as well) and the Elite at R3999 (R600 off)…. I said earlier that breaking the R2000 bracket is …

Behind the Curve – Beowulf – Reviewed

By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

By doobiwan If it’s a movie game, chances are its going to suck. Movie tie-ins typically exist just to cash in on co-release marketing, taking tired formulas and reskinning them. But occasionally something amazing comes out of the blue. (Star Wars Pod Racer comes to mind). The thing with Beowulf is however that it’s neither of the above. Beowulf is …

Xbox 360 now half the price of the PS3?

By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

By now everyone has seen that Microsoft has slashed the price of the Xbox 360… Microsoft just need to announce it now. Anyway, Techradar.com were one of the first sites to get any official comments from Sony and Nintendo and both companies have stated that they have no intentions of cutting their prices in response. We are still waiting for …

Huge specials at Incredible Connection

By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

Someone needs to tell Incredible Connection that the price cuts haven’t come into force yet. Well I am really hoping that these new prices are going to become the standard, Incredible Connection are currently selling a Xbox 360 Pro with a free game (Halo) for an unbelievable R2799. That’s R100 more than an Arcade with no free games…. If this …

March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

There is apparently going to be a big announcement about Xbox 360 in the Middle East this week. It’s all very secretive at the moment but the rumours are going around about an impending Xbox Live release over there. First let’s get the bad out of the way… I am sure that we in South Africa have a much larger …

Gametrailers.com – Army of Two – Review

By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

We reviewed Army of Two last week already and generally loved it. Then IGN reviewed it and also were quite complimentary of the game. However now Gametrailers.com have crashed the party and have released a review that all the doomsayers have been expecting really. They don’t dislike the game entirely but they are also not happy about quite a few …

Xbox 360 Price Cut coming soon

By Gavin Mannion
March 10, 2008 - 18 years ago

  My Dutch is non existent but I can read numbers in any language. Apparently on the 14th of March (Thursday) there is going to be a price cut across all the 360 ranges, dropping the Arcade version down from 278 Euros to 199… That’s quite a huge cut. If our price cut followed directly it would mean a price …

I see a lot of rubbish while I am trawling the web for gaming related stories. Normally I just ignore it and move on. However sometimes the crap is just so bad that I feel I have to subject you to it as well. Yes it’s mean but it’s Friday and you are all going to say horrible things about …

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty – Absolutely Terrible

By Gavin Mannion
March 7, 2008 - 18 years ago

I was at a Xbox 360 event a few weeks ago that had a whole pile of preview games available for us to jam on. One of them was Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. This game looks so bad that a whole pile of journalists, who would happily sell their mothers for a feature, were the least bit interested in …

FIFA Street TV spot

March 7, 2008 - 18 years ago

Something slightly different. I saw a link to this TV spot posted on a local forum and was truly amazed by the ability of these guys. I thought Street was a little unrealistic but after watching this I think I may have underestimated the ability of players out there. Truly impressive

Haze has been yet another one of the PS3 games that has suffered constant delays and quite a bit of Internet ridicule…. However we finally have a release moth for Haze (April) so the rumours can stop soon enough and we can then judge Haze on it’s own merit. To celebrate this release date, a new trailer has been released …

Eurogamer 360 vs PS3 Round 9

By Gavin Mannion
March 7, 2008 - 18 years ago

You may have noticed that I didn’t cover round 8 of Eurogamer’s continous series pitting 360/PS3 ports against each other. There is no conspiracy here the games were just absolutely terrible and the feature was dull. By their own admission. Anyway so back to one of the most important decisions when buying a console, which console has the better games …
