News Now Tecmo Are Asking For A Price Cut
Anyone else bored of hearing the words "price-cut"? Because at the end of the day, we know exactly what's going to happen

News Valve Looking To Assemble A Talented Playstation 3 Team
We've been a bit harsh on Valve in the past
We know they're a small company who make their bread and butter building PC games. And as such we know those games can be ported to the XBOX 360 with ease. It does irritate us when great games don't get released on a system with an audience waiting to buy them though. Still, it seems Valve aren't quite as...

News Grandmaster Flash's DJ Hero Appearance Makes Us Reconsider Yesterday's Outburst
Yesterday we were pretty pissed with Activision
We want DJ Hero but £108!? Needless to say, that's a lot of money to spend on a video game. We'd convinced ourselves to not even consider matching the ridiculous asking price. Then we got an email about Grandmaster Flash. Seems the legendary 80's DJ will be making an appearance and contributing two...
Zuma is a simple puzzle game from PopCap games
A string of marbles move along a winding path towards a skull waiting to eat the string.

Chains are possible via the magnetic properties of similarly coloured marbles, making...

We're still not used to the subsequent years after a video game franchise not being "oh-something"
Meh, whatever. Here's the first trailer for FIFA 10. Apparently it's all using in-game graphics — we presume the slow-down and depth of field effects won't be present in the final product. We loved FIFA 09 though, we just hope they can fix the...

News DJ Hero To Cost A Whopping ?108 In The UK, Forget It Activision
We've been really interested in DJ Hero
The music sounds good, the gameplay looks good and the controller seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

The US version is priced at $120 which is bad enough, but the UK version would equal an enormous...

News Damnation Developers Laid Off In Their Entirety
We thought Damnation was pretty terrible to be honest
It had a saving grace in its level design and platforming. Sadly, pretty much every other element of the game fell short. As a shorter PSN release Damnation could have worked, but as a retail experience, sadly not. And sales conclude the game wasn't the biggest success story. As such, Kotaku have...
