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.

Apparently, Kinect will be there but it probably doesn’t support fat people so we might Read More ...

When Nintendo first announced the device, people were left scratching their heads. A 3D based gaming system that didn’t require glasses was too much for some to take, with most people wondering if they Read More ...
Nintendo has invited us to go and play with them in London today. We’re excited as we don’t normally get much time out of the office and it finally gives us the chance to dust off our portable office equipment, like our 30″ 4:3 CRT VGA monitor. It will also be the first time Joe has been anywhere outside the gym or work in a year. Reports that this will Read More ...
