This time its MP Keith Vaz, who has asked (and been denied) the House of Commons to hold a debate over...

It’s the busy season again, and as such, this segment has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while. Kelly is reportedly stuck on the Work and Uni mission, a key objective in the main questline of that most dreaded game, Real Life. She’s passed the torch on to me to get this thing wrapped up, and to...

I don’t remember if my childhood obsession with dinosaurs began with Jurassic Park or was just fueled by it, but either way, the series has been a big part of my life growing up, both as films and games. Having just reviewed Telltale’s recent Jurassic Park game, I found I enjoyed it, despite the...

Since Skyrim hit the stores a few weeks ago, the internet has been filled with Skyrim love. Heck even it’s flaws are smothered in love! We all love a good Skyrim bug, and Youtube user silentimage may of found the most hilarious one of them all, titled ‘Just another ordinary day in skyrim...

We all have games that we love, and some online FPS titles or MMOs will create such a time sink that players could sink over a hundred or so hours into one title without batting an eyelash, but this on the other hand is just ludicrous. It appears that one Japanese gamer has played Level 5′s White...

Samsung seem to be worming their way through the mighty Apple, this time gaining a favourable and important outcome in US courts regarding their current global patent lawsuits involving the iPad and iPhone makers. Thankfully, US courts have for now ruled in favour of Samsung, squashing Apples attempts...

The Walking Dead, is a series that takes it’s title seriously. Not only is it one of the slowest paced Zombie shows ever created, but it is also one that lacks the focus it strongly needs to ever be more than just ‘good’. The first season featured a total of 6 episodes, so it is needless...

For as long as videogames have been around, gamers everywhere have been tasked with the eradication of many evils. Some are invaders from space, while others are soldiers from within our realm. Why is it then that the wildlife in many games are all so very vicious? Maybe it’s because, as gamers, we...

That’s it. 1 whole year. 12 months, 12 games, and I’ve done what I set out to do. I’ve managed to do one game’s achievements to 100% completion for the last 12 months. I’ve played some games that I haven’t enjoyed for a little longer than I should, but I’ve also...

Remember the Flintstone Kids? Reboot? Recess? All have on thing in common, with that being that each was a Saturday Morning Cartoon from the 90′s. Animator HarryPartridge has already shown some love to Skyrim in the past with “The Song of Skyrim“, and now the famous Youtuber has taken it...

“I do not believe in forcing anyone to buy our game. If they do not want it and they pirated it, it means we did not have the right offer for them – maybe the price was too high and they will buy it later on a year or two after the release when it will be more affordable.” – CD Projekt...

Looks like Apple have finally taken the concept of having one of the hottest items on the market a little too literally, obvioulsy adding just a little too much spice to one particular iPhone which has self destructed on a regional flight from Lismore to Sydney. While travelling on Regional Express flight...

Dragon Quest lovers should know that this year is the 25th anniversary of the series, and some Family Mart locations in Japan have decided to celebrate in their own little way.

If one picked up the Daily Telegraph, one of Australias leading publications, one would be forgiven for thinking that Australia is a perfect country, void of any economical or social problems, well, that is besides our youth running around in a crazy frenzied state, all brought on by the evils of World of...

Finally, after a long hiatus from the internet, Spike and Aura return to post a brand new Tappin That video. In episode 6, we tackle a game that has been so huge, so significant, so eagerly awaited that it was pretty much DEMANDING to be recorded for comedic purposes. I am of course, referring to that all...

I have something I’d like to confess. This isn’t something I’m proud of, nor is it something that I feel comfortable broadcasting, but… I am now the owner of a Kinect. But why, you ask. Why a Kinect, Jessica? You don’t have any young children under your care, and you have never really taken an...

These days, we don’t see a lot of original ideas come from Nintendo in the form of new IPs. Sure, we have received the likes of Rhythm Heaven, Glory of Heracles, and even the almighty Pikmin series in the past decade, but the main love has obviously been shown to the heavily developed characters such...

Well well well, it is that time of the year in North America. The time of year when everyone sat down yesterday to eat turkey to fuel their rage to shop later on that day. Well, to be honest most people enjoyed a nice family meal with their extended family and had a wonderful day. But that night, Black...

While they’ve never lifted a finger to stop the slaughter of trillions of virtual humans in games like Battlefield and Call of Duty, PETA have attacked certain games for apparently promoting cruelty to animals.

Gamers have always kind of been snobs, don’t deny it, we all know it’s true. The sense of competitiveness that drives gamers to compete for that top score on the leaderboard also breeds a sense of entitlement in those of us who perform well at games. Or even those of us who perform well enough to...

In case you were living on another planet or under a rock, it was about a year ago that the PlayStation 3 console was hacked, with major repercussions for Sony and the hackers alike.
