I’d wager that most of those who subscribe to the Xbox Live Gold premium service do so using a credit card, and the Xbox 360’s dashboard interface. I used to - until I found out that the pre-pay cards can be found for sale on various forums at knock down prices, £20 for a 12 […]

Sad but true folks. A design flaw with the new Les Paul controller means that it may be almost impossible to grab all of the achievements from the Xbox 360 version. And the PS3 version? It suffers the same problems apparently.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Guitar Hero series since it arrived on the […]

I heart my Krogan Battlemaster. Reminds me of Mr. Snuffalufagus from Sesame Street, only less imaginary friend and more axe-murderer acquaintance. The wife surprised me with an early christmas present, and Bioware surprised me with a timewasting apparatus of epic proportions!

Ubisoft launched Assassin’s Creed in the US yesterday, and I was able to secure a copy. She’s a big girl but she’s kindof pretty. Which means she can chug a beer with ya at the bar but when you take her home you feel a little disappointed. Not to say I’m disappointed with this title, […]
