      • The Club. No more petrol head stuff from Bizarre...for now...
        12/31/07


        The PS3 had a bit of a dusting down after its brief flare of activity surrounding the disappointing (for me anyway) Drake's Fortune. Bizarre Creations, famed for their fantastic PGR arcade racing series seem to have turned their combo-tastic touch to things more concerned with shoot

        This thing's a work of frickin' genius. I remember the Magnetic Scrolls adventures on the Atari ST (and Amiga though to a lesser extent). The problem with most emulated versions is that they involve sitting there at your PC fiddlearsing around getting 'em to work. Now it l

        12/23/07
        You’ve headshot the henchmen, circumnavigated unscripted crossfire, and topped the top boss. It took you 2 months and you’ve restarted the last level 7 times alone. You’ve caused loud upset to your (and the neighbours’) household and your pad’s proper dented. … but you’ve done it and now, at long la

        Yep OK, laugha while you can Monkeyboys but I 'are bin mosely playing Need for Speed Prostreet. WHYYYYY you may ask, you Forza-loving stats freaks you...

        You have no idea how glad I am it's finally crimble.
        Not for the giving and recieving - although that itself has many perks and or conotations. Not for the turkey and all the trimmings, nor the exciting return of Noel's Christmas Presents, but for the pile of games I need to haul mys

      • R4 DS is in the house...
        12/20/07
        Managed to nab an R4 DS for my...well my DS. It's a lovely little bit of kit for (ahem) Homebrew and does allow you to start using your DS as a neat little emulator machine too. So far I've got a decent E-Reader installed on it, SCUMMVM (old LucasArse adventures FTW!) and even a really nif

      • Sensi goal ruled offside
        12/19/07
        So our long standing favourite sports title ever, Sensible World of Soccer. was released on Xbox Live today. Unfortunately it was only available for about an hour before the collective interweb were screaming “HAX” and Microsoft quickly pulled the plug.

        Bugger.

        Well. Bug anyway

      • Yes...We're back!
        12/19/07
        It’s been far too long, but Groove Factor 5 is back and ready for action once again. The seminal community based gaming clan of the mid 90’s to early naughties has evolved and it wants you back…

        We’ve seen a lot over the years. Growing up with videogames and practically watching pop cultu
