Shiny Video Review: Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360
Our gaming man, Simon Munk, recently checked out Lost Odyssey, which came out a week ago on the Xbox 360. Take a look above for his thoughts on the RPG…
Get 1000 free Microsoft points (ie, £8.50) when you pre-order Lost Odyssey today
It’s been anticipated for quite a while, however as of tomorrow, the UK market will finally get its hands on the Xbox 360 game, Lost Odyssey.
If there’s one thing I recommend you do today, is head down to HMV or over to their website, and pre-order like a madman. HMV is offering an amazing deal for those who pre-order the Japanese RPG, with 1000 Microsoft Points to spend on your next Xbox Live Arcade download.
That’s a whole £8.50! If you pre-order ten of them at £39.99 each, then sell them all on eBay, you could make a killing, and ensure…
Shiny Video Preview: HP Mediascape game
Susi’s out on the slopes somewhere in Western Europe, apparently “checking out” some new HP products and services. Yeh, right, as if we believe that when she’s pictured in this vid decked out in skiing attire!
Still, she manages to spill the beans on HP’s new Mediascape…
Mario Kart Go – the plumber does Scalextric-style racing
Old-style slot racing thrills with modern-day console characters – that’s what you get with Mario Kart Go.
Fisher Price aims to get kids out of the crack dens, and into exercise and gaming
The things parents have to do these days to convince the kids to get off the darn couch and exercise already.
With recent reports that the obesity problem in the UK will be on scale with global warming in a few years time, the Smart Cycle from Fisher Price sounds ideal for provoking kids to develop an interest in keeping…
Guitar Hero Mobile shown off at CTIA Wireless expo, critics love the three-button controls
Over in the US, the CTIA Wireless expo is a-happening, and the lucky folk at CNet have made us green with envy, as they got to fool around on the new Guitar Hero Mobile game.
The mobile version of the game first created for the PS2 is loosely based on Guitar Hero 3, but much more simplified for easy mobile handset usage. There are two characters – Alex Steel and Judy Nails, four guitars, and just 15 songs, however users subscribed to the service can buy three extra songs each month. If you’re…
Taint your pure Nintendo DS with a smutty crossword puzzle game from The Sun
Goodness knows what kind of words would appear in a crossword puzzle in jubblies-filled newspaper The Sun, but chances are, they’d be decidedly NSFW. Or kids, who are the primary demographic for the Nintendo DS.
Chances are though, under 18s wouldn’t be interested in purchasing The Sun’s foray into the gaming world, as…

TN Game's Third Space Vest gives gaming an added realism
Like a game of Laser Tag in front of your TV, these Third Space Vests can emulate the feeling of being shot when playing your first-person shooters. Mmm, added realism, tasty.
They’ve been created by Mark Ombrellaro, a physician who was inspired by medical vests used when training medical staff. According…
Whack it! Whack it good! (With the Desktop Arcade Challenge, not Devo)
This USB desktop version of the ancient What It game is probably intended as a fun way to pass the time away whilst at your desk, but for me, I’m envisioning taking out my rage at pages not loading fast enough and my favourite blogs not being updated enough, BOP! BOP! BOP! TAKE THAT! POW!
I can feel the rage seeping away already. The aim of the game is dead-easy, you just have to whack the coloured ‘moles’ (or Jelly Baby heads, as I call them) on the head as they light up, with the pace of the game progressing faster and faster in either a 30 or 60 second limit. Powered…
