I am a big fan of mechs. There’s something about big badass robots blowing things up that just appeals to me. I still enjoy a round of Armored Core 4, I’ll occasionally start to watch a mecha anime series (attempting Macross Zero at the moment) and I often find myself scouring the internet for a cheap copy of Steel Battalion and the famous 40 button, dual-joystick, tri-pedalled...

Introducing the newest entry to the list of features we’ll never remember to update… The Back Button - where we look back at some older games that we feel didn’t get the coverage they deserved (good or bad), are worth highlighting again, or that we just really want to talk about and share with you. So without further ado…
Towards the end of the Gamecube’s lifespan...

I just broke 100 hours played on Pokémon White. It joins LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and, of course, Pokémon Blue as one of the few games I’ve sunk 100+ hours into.
And no, I’m nowhere near finished yet.

Super Minecraft
I’d like to take a break from our usual programming to bring your attention to two things that may interest you. First up is King’s Mods for Minecraft.
This is a mod pack that brings Minecraft to a whole new level. Here’s a few things this pack brings:
Over 40 new mobs, including knights, sharks and even tunnelling zombies.
New materials and recipes,...

A Week With... Pokémon White - Epilogue
**If you have not read my week-long journal on Pokémon White, you can either go back and give it a skim (beware of some spoilers towards the end) or just click ‘Read More’ to get straight to the review.**
Is Pokémon still as addictive as it once was? Fifty hours in one week. Nuff said.
Has it evolved sufficiently over the years? It has evolved since Red/Blue, but at a snail’s...

Is Pokémon still as addictive as it once was? Has it evolved (no pun intended) sufficiently over the years? Is it worth buying a DS for? And how many Magnemites does it take to change a clichéd joke? Without further ado…my Pokémans. Let me show you them…

A Week With... Pokémon White - Day 6
Is Pokémon still as addictive as it once was? Has it evolved (no pun intended) sufficiently over the years? Is it worth buying a DS for? And how many more times is Sony going to claim the PS3 is ‘hack-proof’? Without further ado…my Pokémans. Let me show you them.
To bring you up to speed… so I caught me a Legendary, and I’m now faced with the decision of whether to...

So. Japan. That’s…that shit is absolutely crazy. Just…I can’t imagine what they must be going through right now. I don’t think anything they show on the news can get across just how much damage that the fifth-largest earthquake in history has caused. Tsunamis, oil refinery fires, nuclear meltdowns, flood warnings all across the Pacific rim; Hawaii, Australia, the...

A Week With... Pokémon White - Day 5
Is Pokémon as addictive as it once was? Has it evolved (no pun intended) sufficiently over the years? Is it worth buying a DS for? And is blogging more efficient under the influence of alcohol? Without further ado…my Pokémans. Let me show you them…

Is Pokémon still as addictive as it once was? Has it evolved (no pun intended) sufficiently over the years? Is it worth buying a DS for? And is there really a Pokémon shaped like an ice cream? Without further ado..my Pokémans. Let me show you them…
To bring you up to speed… there is. Unfortunately, there really is a Pokémon shaped like an ice cream. It’s called Vanillite....

A Week With... Pokémon White - Prologue
Here’s my dirty, dark secret as a gamer: I’m thoroughly uneducated in the works of Nintendo. I’ve never touched a NES. I couldn’t tell you what ‘warping’ is in Super Mario Bros. I’ve never played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Heck, I’ve never even played a Zelda game.
But if there’s one thing I know about Nintendo, it’s how to...
bammzie asked: Keen for the new Pokemon games? excited about the graphics, storyline, new Pokemon, introduction of three way battles and rotation battles? Still agree with the "151 originals will be the only Pokemon that I will reminisce about"?
