Resident Evil 6 ? Will It Be Gash?

August 5th, 2012 By Paul Pencott

Video games get sequels all the time. We’re near-constantly being beaten around the head with them. Yet, there are few video games that prompt more feverish excitement amongst fans than the Resident Evil series, so let's have a gander at the trailer for Resident Evil 6 shall we?

The uneducated will confuse this with the trailer for some dreadful Underworld-style actual film, but hardcore Resident Evil fans will be simultaneously excited and dismayed by the teasers for ?the gaming experience of 2012? (ie: ?the gaming experience of four hours of 2012 so they can be the first to post a review on gamefaqs.com?).

Use your bleary, bloodshot eyes to watch the trailer and read our jokes over the jump:

Sonic The Hedgehog To Reignite Your Inner Antisocial Moron

December 30th, 2011 By Robin Darke

He’s automatic! He’s systematic! He’s hydromatic! Why, he’s Sonic The Hedgehog actually and he’s coming to make you feel like an overgrown child-man once again.

Surely the slew of Sonic games over the past twenty or so years are enough for you? Together, we’ve gone from Green Hill Zone to Metal Egg Stage 1, we’ve Spinballed and even been to the Winter Olympics with that filthy Italian, surely the only thing left is Sonic and Blue Flashing Ghost from Pac-Man go to Lidl.

But apparently the creators of all those Sonic games seem to not know how not to flog a dead Knuckles and are all set to release another instalment of their new series for every gaming device going, even Android devices, Windows phones and Sega Game Gear probably.

African Bullfrog Plays Ant Crusher, With Splendid Results!

December 29th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Imagine you have access to an African Bullfrog. Once you’d finished singing The Beatles’ ‘Hey Bulldog’ at it, there’s very little you can do with it away from feeding it and mopping up the mess it makes.

Right?

Wrong. See, one bright bulb decided to get his frog and make it play Ant Crusher (that’s a game you get on phones, y’dozy widge! What have you been doing for the past year?). Of course, what unfurls is asking for trouble. As the kidz say, FAIL.

Review: Grand Theft Auto 3 on iOS

August 5th, 2012 By Robin Darke

The Grand Theft Auto series is like a biblical dynasty, with more and more versions being released on what seems like an almost daily basis. Before long we’ll be able to chart our lives by where we are when the new GTA was released.

Like how the elderly chart theirs by when JFK or Elvis died, or One Direction fans will when Harry Styles finally succumbs to hairspray poisoning and he’s found slumped over Caroline Flack’s riddled corpse, herself only recently imploded under her own sense of self worth.

Well before that happy occasion arrives, you can all just shut up and read our brilliant and totally 100% correct in every which way review of Grand Theft Auto 3 for iOS and even some Android phones.

Review: Dizzy, Prince Of The Yolkfolk (Or, How The Royal Wedding Should’ve Gone Down)

August 5th, 2012 By Robin Darke

What have you done today? Bet you’ve dragged yourself through your dreary life, bumping into other insignificant doldrumites, who clamour for their carcinogenic hit of Heat magazine to find out what that family of soulless prostitutes we call Kardashians are up to.

Frankly, between us, you sicken us. Maybe you should try a little harder and people will stop thinking you have an alcohol problem and smiling inanely at you when you struggle to open the bottle of Pepsi Max you have with your Boots Meal Deal.

Whereas us, we’ve jumped from cloud to cloud to return an angelic harp to a sad Saint Peter, made a deal with Death himself to let us pass, and ensure that once Britney Spears does pass, she doesn't return in a zombie form and a red pleather catsuit and managed to lose our girlfriend in a mythical land. So not a bad day?s work really. Bet all the exercise that you’ve had is strumming yourself in the Tesco car park while thinking about how sexy him from Outnumbered is going to be soon. You sicken us.

The Greatest Video Game Opening Sequences In The World Ever (Sort Of)

December 7th, 2011 By Michael Park

A few weeks ago, Editor Mof bombarded you with some of the greatest music from the history of video games. He steered clear of some of the more obvious titles, sometimes favouring good soundtracks over good games.

However, as technology in gaming marches on, leading us down ever more beautifully decorated linear corridors like lambs ripe for the slaughter, we’re led to ask- what are the greatest video game opening sequences? Those opening movies that draw you in like a moth to a flame or Justin Bieber to a fan’s vagina.

With the release of Harry Gregson-Williams’ collaboration with the London Philarmonic Orchestra which even manages to make a reworking of the Angry Birds soundtrack sound utterly epic, we started to think about the best opening “FMVs” that we had ever seen. The ones that really capture the essence of a game without giving too much away. So here’s ten of the best…

Dizzy Coming To iOS And Android On December 9th: Not What We Were Hoping For, Selfishly

November 23rd, 2011 By Robin Darke

With the teasing of a new Dizzy hitting the old interwebs as late as yesterday, people were kind of surprised that definite information would be released so soon. It kind of made the whole teasing process pointless, like most attempts at foreplay.

But the news has ?finally? been released and the new Dizzy game is going to be… *Mark Ronson style trumpet blare*

A rehash of 1991?s Dizzy: Prince Of The Yolkfolk. Can we have some grumbles with that underwhelming announcement please?

Chrono Trigger To Hit iOS; Probably Not Going To Take The Shine Off Skyrim

November 23rd, 2011 By Robin Darke

RPGs are like the 80s. Before the 80s were cool, they were revered by everyone as being the decade with the most eye meltingly bad fashion/music/celebrities. But that whole decade has had a resurgence in popularity; partly because of Lady Gaga?s vagina, partly because of Brian May?s tenacity (that man will not be forgotten easily).

Whatever the reason, the 80s are back, which is just like the rise in popularity that role playing games have had over the past few years.

Well before the Elder Scrolls and every other game had levelling up characteristics and diluted the market with enough hot RPG action to put you off them for life, there was a lower standard of charming RPG that grabbed us by the soon-to-be short and curlies, before paedophiles became all the rage.

Dizzy To Get Re-Released; Edwina Curry Prepares To Platz

November 22nd, 2011 By Robin Darke

The 1980s were a great time: Kelly Le Brock was still a bodacious chick, 9/11 was still twenty years away, Blossom was still a good decade away, so you didn't have Joey Lawrence hair envy yet and Dizzy The Magical Fantasist Egg was the alternative to tickling your balls with soda from a SodaStream.

Times may have changed; for instance Kelly Le Brock looks like someone melted a mariachi band, Joey Lawrence is bald and SodaStream still feels great on your nutsack, but Dizzy still remains in the hearts and minds of thirty year old men. Like a pixellated Diana, Princess of Hearts. Only more interesting and a better soundtrack. There’s only so much you can remix screeching tyres and a Martin Bashir interview.

So it's good news that a new version of Dizzy has been rumoured by Codemasters isn't it?

Stop What You’re Doing: Real Life Mario Karts Exist!

November 21st, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Love Mario Kart do you? Get a kick out of throwing bombs at meek looking tortoises do you? You sick, sick excuse for a human being. It’s appalling that you don’t feel any remorse about throwing blunt objects at people’s heads.

It’s not real is it not?

Think again, because the most amazing thing has happened! Someone has gone and made real-life Mario Karts. That’s right. Yes, it is fine to start masturbating now. There’s a video over the jump so you can see them.
