Unfortunately for those of us in South Africa, local Wiis are PAL …

The authors from the Official PlayStation magazine have been in England recently giving Killzone 2 a run for it’s money. When I finally put the pad down it’s with relief, excitement…and caution. What’s currently most impressive about Killzone 2 is the technology, which is genuinely a notch ahead of anything being done on consoles right now. Now obviously we cannot …

The Orange Box really is one of the best games ever released. Which is quite a statement coming from IGN at the end of their 5 page review of the games… But if you are lazy like me you may prefer to rather just watch the video interview above. While I am interested in Half Life 2 and am glad …

Yes it’s true, a total of 4 large stores in Japan are completely sold out of Xbox 360 Elites, granted we don’t know if these stores had 10 or 10 000 units but they are sold out.

We have heard the rumour about the Xbox 360 arcade for a while now but Microsoft has yet to confirm it. However I think the image above is a bit of a smoking gun. This was pictured in a Target store in Haverhill MA (USA). The price tag is $279.99 and it comes with 5 arcade games bundled with it. …

I made no secret of the fact that I hated the previous “This is Living” PS3 adverts that did the rounds earlier this year. However this new advert from Sony is absolutely brilliant. It is rumoured to be a TV advert but it is way to long for TV. I think they have done a fantastic job of describing and …

Jonas Allen, from dailygame.net, has been reviewing the upcoming Call of Duty 4 from Infinity Ward. Now I have read enough of these reviews and seen enough demo’s to be 100% sure that Call of Duty 4 is going to bea a huge success.
