Only two titles worth talking about this week. The first is Brutal Legend which involves the iconic figure of Tim Schafer, the writer behind Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. It also involves the actor/musician Jack Black who voices the game’s lead character. If you are a fan of rock music and/or the guys involved in […]
We are going the handheld way this week some notable releases on the DS including the likes of Scribblenauts and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story.

There’s no denying the effects of a blistering hot summer on videogames in Cyprus. People, fat and thin, young and old, prefer the beach to their couch at home. As Cyprus is not unique (no matter what the politicians tell you) the same applies to the rest of the world and therefore most publishers avoid […]
Yeap, it’s a pretty pointless games releases week as there is absolutely nothing of note here (unless you like baseball….). You can get a much cheaper book instead (I recommend Predictably Irrational – by Dan Ariely) together with a bucket of ice cream to enjoy while reading. You can even just save your money for […]
