For those of us unable to make it to Germany for Oktoberfest I may have stumbled across the next best thing… Brewfest. One minor problem though, it’s in Azeroth, so you’re going to need a World of Warcraft account. Once you’ve got that sorted, head to the beer garden outside the dwarven capital city Iron [...]

If you are in, or around, Melbourne this weekend you may want to head down to Federation Square for the global launch of the latest driving game for the iPhone. Unlike a lot of iPhone applications doing the rounds at the moment, the CityGT game is available for free. In what is being billed as [...]

The first Left 4 Dead first person shooter on the Xbox 360 was a cracker of a game. Stupid, mindless, fun. If the teaser trailer for Left 4 Dead 2 is anything to go by, it looks like its makers have upped the ante in terms of splatter and potential for gore. The apparent introduction [...]

Here’s an interesting little bit of information I stumbled across while randomly surfing through wikipedia this evening. It relates to World of Warcraft, so nerds can rejoice. For those unfamiliar with the game, your character can pick up diseases and/or curses when battling the enemy. Like in the real world, these things can be a [...]

It’s official. I’m a grade ‘A’ nerd. In some peoples eyes, I will have hit rock bottom. I have now played World of Warcraft. How’d this happen? Well, I’ve been curious for some time, so having a bit of spare time up my sleeve, I went and bought a copy from JB HiFi. In the [...]

I heard rumors that this game was on the drawing board but I had no idea that its development was so far down the track. I loved the first Marvel: Ultimate Alliance game, and if the sequel picks up where that one left off then it should be a cracker. For comic geeks the first [...]

Following my completion of Halo 3, I quickly popped the next game on my ‘to do’ list into the Xbox 360, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. Kane and Lynch is an action/shooter style game borrowing some elements from the Hitman games as well as a hint of Gears of War (particularly the crouching behind cover [...]

Without too much fuss I finished Halo 3 on the weekend. That’s not to say I found it a bad game, I just didn’t find that it lived up to the hype and expectation I’d had following Halo 2. Gameplay wise, Halo 3 is largely the same as Halo 2. Point, shoot, kill, run, point, [...]

After a quick and deadly little campaign I have finished “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” on the Xbox 360. Two aspects of the game really stood out for me. Firstly, it looked awesome, the graphics were detailed and life like. Secondly, moving the Call of Duty series into a modern setting was a very [...]

Just read that there will be an Xbox 360 arcade edition released prior Christmas. Herald-Sun listed it as $399, with the key difference to the standard Xbox 360 being that this version doesn’t come with the hard drive. Should I go for the bargain basement version, or save a little more for the real deal? [...]

Just been shopping, and noticed that the price of the playstation 3 has been reduced to $700. With the built in HD-DVD player my commitment to purchasing an Xbox 360 is beginning to waver. The Xbox 360 has Halo 3, but on the downside, to get the same functionality as the Playstation 3, I’d have [...]
