Lost Videogame Coming To Confuse Your Ass

Christ, Lost is annoying isn't it? We've spent months and months screaming "Hanso? Pearl? Joop? Huh? Walt? WALT!" at our TV even though we know there'll be no answers for years.

And if just watching Lost wasn't confusing enough for you, you're in for a treat. Ubisoft - which made Tom Clancey's Splinter Cell - is developing a Lost videogame. Fantastic, now you can be gormlessly confused about Lost in a brand new, bleeding-edge interactive way.

SLACKERJACK – Bee Boxing Have you ever tried boxing a bee? It's impossibly hard - trying to instill any notion of organised sport into a bee's tiny mind is hard enough, not to mention describing the finer technicalities of the Queensbury Rules.

SLACKERJACK – Brain Buster

Your brain is a muscle, and you should exercise it. That's what everyone always says, isn't it? But then - when you strap a tyre to your brain and go running on crowded beaches - all you get are funny looks.


A much better way to exercise your brain is to have a crack at Brain Buster. Brain Buster consists of four brain-cramping

SLACKERJACK – Urban Reign Conquers Urban Reign is a game that's coming out on the PS2 pretty soon, and we're told it's sort of like Double Dragon but, like, a zillion times flashier and that.
