The Football Manager series has dominated the market. It has become the only real football management sim left (occasionally there is a new one or two from SI Games’ competitors, but it’s becoming increasingly rare). Some say this is a bad thing as it means that SI Games and SEGA don’t need to do much every year to keep their illustrious fanbase. The question is; have they got complacent with Read More ...
As you can see, we’re looking a little different. That’s because we’ve finally decided that now is the perfect time to have a redesign and we would like to take a minute to sit right here and tell you the story of the new site design. Essentially, our old design wasn’t really planned to last as long as it did. TheNPCs’ wizened elder designer Rob Turner forged our old blue Read More ...
The gaming world at large has adopted the Assassin’s Creed games as the de-facto modern action adventure sandboxes they are. We have followed the series with great interest, and even though there has been numerous sequels we are still terribly excited by this year’s entrant into the series; Revelations.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of those delightful little surprises in this year’s gaming calendar. It’s a typical knife-edge wildcard title that could change everything or fall under its own pretence. If you look at its pedigree, you can see a definitively strong title in the original Deus Ex but also the bitter disappoint of Deus Ex: Invisible War so many would be forgiven for feeling a touch apprehensive Read More ...

Also expect new game modes, new dynamic fighting arenas, new Read More ...
We saw this whilst making the usual rounds across our favourite websites and we thought we had to share. Be sure to watch the entire video, including the ever-so soppy ending. We can assure you it presents a feeling women undergo when watching a romcom (apparently). If you follow the watch on YouTube link you can even go and play the level. We wouldn’t condone modding it further for Read More ...
EA is running a livestream of Battlefield 3 for the next four hours. Apparently the stream will show a few videos, have some interviews and will hopefully have some live gameplay. Feel free to join us in watching it right here with the fancy embed you can see above these here sentences. Expect some awkward military dudes talking about games confirmed.
Tecmo Koei has announced that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge will be coming to the Nintendo Wii U. The game was shown off during a brief montage at Nintendo’s E3 Press Conference earlier. Not much is known about it yet, but it will apparently stack up well when compared to the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. Expect blood.
Nintendo has shown off a new Super Mario 3DS trailer at their E3 press conference just now in Los Angeles. The game is built from the group up and features the Tanooki suit. Expect it to ship before the end of this year.
Nintendo has showed off a new trailer for Mario Kart 3DS at their E3 Press Conference earlier. The game is shaping quite nicely, and seems to be pushing customisation. Also expect new hang-gliding segments for great justice. We’ll keep you updated when new information from the game is unveiled.
Satoru Iwata has just confirmed that Smash Bros. is coming to both the Wii U and the 3DS. According to Iwata, the two versions can link up to each other.

Other than that, there has been no other details or information on this game yet but we’ll keep our ear to the Read More ...
Nintendo has just announced the Wii U at their E3 press briefing. We’ve covered what the system and its interesting controller look like and what they can do, so now it’s time we tackled the nitty-gritty. Of course, we’re talking about what’s under the Wii U’s hood. Let’s start with the controller. It has two analogue sliders, a d-pad, four face buttons, two shoulder buttons and two triggers. Furthermore, it Read More ...
Nintendo has warned us that this screenshot hasn’t been officially tied to any new games yet, but we thought we should share it with you. Behold, this is what a Zelda title on the Wii U could look like. Nintendo showed this screenshot in a video explaining the new system on a TV-screen to demo the Wii U’s link with the system, but strangely enough it has wormed its way Read More ...
Nintendo has just announced that their new console is called the “Wii U” at their E3 press conference. We would like to say we just made that name up to troll you guys, but that is sincerely not the case. The big new Nintendo HD system is called the “Wii U”. The console has a touch screen controller surrounded by the usual array of buttons, and we are pleased to Read More ...
Nintendo has just announced Luigi’s Mansion 2 for the 3DS. The game was shown as part of a montage so details are thin on the ground, but going by the gameplay that was displayed it appears to be the same as the original. Obviously, expect 3D and ghosts.
