    Bleach the 3rd Phantom (European) release trailer

    Monday, February 8, 2010, 03:41 PM PST [General]

    Yeah, you Americans and Japanese might be thinking: "Wait a minute, this game has been out for ages now."  Well for us poor people living in the PAL lands, we haven't been able to get our hands on Bleach: The 3rd Phantom yet, (well unless we bought it from the US or Japan).

    But now the time is finally upon us! Come February 12th (this Friday) Bleach: The 3rd Phantom will be released, for the DS, across Europe and we can finally take on the role of our favourite Shinigami and some new additions to the franchise (not seen in the manga or cartoons) in this Strategy RPG.

    But if you are from Europe and don't know much about the game, then perhaps you should take a look at our review first.  It's a bit weird that it's taken so damn long to come out over here - especially as the DS is region free.

    Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing demo available on XBL Marketplace

    Monday, February 8, 2010, 02:33 PM PST [General]

    Oh yeah! SEGA has now released a playable demo of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars racing on Xbox Live Marketplace.  The demo allows you to play as Sonic or Banjo (oh you love him really) and on one of tracks, "Lost Palace," to play on.

    Weirdly though on the SOE Blog they say that you play across "a selection of tracks" - but it looks like you can only play on one - though that's not a weird thing for a demo.  But that doesn't stop it from being a really fun demo; I've already played through it about five times and that's only the single player, I'm still yet to tackle the multiplayer option.

    The only downfall is that the demo is a pretty weighty 1.03GB download.  Not the biggest ever, but it'll take a little longer to arrive on your hard drive and if you are impatient, like me, then it's a real bitch.

    But that's not all for Xbox

    Interview with Guinness record holding collector - And you thought you were a hardcore gamer

    Monday, February 8, 2010, 08:23 AM PST [General]

    If you thought your Golden, NES Legend Of Zelda cartridge marks you as a true fan, you clearly haven't seen the Video Game Memorabilia Museum, or VGMM. Having our fanboy and fangirl egos shattered, we humbly decided to get in contact with the VGMM and schedule an interview regarding the jaw dropping collection.

    Rebellion apologises for AvP demo issues

    Monday, February 8, 2010, 03:41 AM PST [General]

    ~In case you haven't seen it; the new Marines trailer~

    In case you haven't checked, the Aliens vs. Predator multiplayer demo should now be available from a download service of your choice; XBL, PSN and Steam.  The demo was (supposedly) released last Friday 5th Feb, but I didn't see it appear on my XBL service until last night, maybe I'm living in a black hole or something.

    The demo allows you to play with some friends and/or play a quick match against some randoms online.  There is only one level to play, "The Refinery," but you can play as all three species; Alien, Marine or Predator.

    Anyway, it seems that PC and PS3 users of the demo over the weekend were plagued with some issues, which Rebellion has now apologised for; while the Xbox 360 version was unaffected.

    PC gamers, playing via Steam, had issues with

    Hey some of the commercials were pretty funny. The Doritos where the guy is dressed like a Doritos samurai was wicked funny. I also thought Letterman , Oprah and Leno was too funny. I'm surprised Leno and Dave weren't duking it out.
