Since the widely publicized outage over at the PlayStation Network and the possibility of said outage lasting for at least another 24-48 hours, many gamers have taken to threatening Sony with a PS3 boycott and head over to the Xbox 360 as well as writing strongly worded complaints in the hopes that this will somehow speed up the process of bringing PSN back to life.
However, amongst the hundreds and thousands of comments, a thought suddenly occurred to me… What did we ever do before playing games online. Thinking back to my first mobile – the Nokia 3210 with lightning strike fascia, I couldn’t help but wonder what I ever did before mobile phones came around. [click to continue…]

Sonic 4 Episode 1 was good but just good. With a few too many physics problems and other little niggles took away from the experience of racing around the place with a little blue hog from hedge.

Sonic’s been around for quite a while now, 20 years in fact and to celebrate that anniversary SEGA has released a teaser trailer via the blue hedgehog’s own Facebook page.
20 years is a long time and is definitely a testament to Sonic’s creators in producing this gaming icon of the last century. The list of games with his name in the title is pretty extensive to say the least and some considerably better than others. [click to continue…]
It seems that GAME Australia spoke sooner than it should’ve done as details of a new map pack have been released a little prematurely.
Given the title ‘Escalation’, you’ll get to shoot til’ your heart’s content across maps including The Zoo, Convoy, Hotel, Stockpile and a zombie map dubbed “Call of the Dead”. It seems though, that this new information came perhaps a little earlier than it should have done as the details we have so far, came from the GAME website in Australia had later got pulled from the site.

To add to the multiplayer side of things, new DLC will be making it’s way to the PS3, just to let you know. [click to continue…]
