But wait! there’s more! This isn’t your normal boycott where people refuse to buy the game in hopes that the developer fixes the problem. They are instead banding together, to buy the first Sonic the Hedgehog game on the release day of the fourth one.
Lets up the ante’ folks! lets buyevery single sega product on the release day of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. That’ll show those pesky Sega Developers 😉
What do you guys think about this boycott … your thoughts on the matter
For a minute, ignore all the bad things about Walmart and listen to this, because you really don’t care, you just want a cheap game!
Walmart is selling Assassin’s Creed 2 for $36. Yes you heard right! Only about 4 months old, and only $36! This offer is available in store and online for both the PS3, and the Xbox360. Sadly, this deal is not available for the PC version.
If you haven’t already bought Assassin’s Creed 2, buy it now! Use the money you save on the DLC.
Then you can pop the game in and relax (after the DLC downloads) while you assassinate every guard in an entire city! MUHAHAHA!
Any of you picking up this deal? or have you already bought Assassin’s Creed 2?
Press Release from EA Some great news for all you FIFA 10 fans our there.
Feb 25, 2010
Popular Expansion Mode for FIFA 10 Available for 400 Microsoft Points or $4.99
EA today announced that FIFA 10 Ultimate Team, the popular game mode expansion that creates a new way of playing the award-winning EA SPORTS FIFA 10, is available now to download for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
The original Ultimate Team expansion mode for FIFA 09 was the most popular PDLC expansion mode ever released by EA SPORTS, with over 35 million gold, silver and bronze packs opened, over 50 million auctions for players and items completed, and over 10 billion in-game coins exchanged in trades as legions of football fans took on the challenge to put a personally crafted team up against the rest of the world.
FIFA 10 Ultimate Team is half the price of the original-400 Microsoft points or $4.99 through PlayStation Network-and this year enables gamers to manage one or multiple squads simultaneously, and compete against other gamers in dynamically updated online tournaments. Fans will be able to experience the game mode by creating a team with a starter pack of players and play a five game free* trial.
Featuring over 7,500 of the best football stars in the world to choose from, gamers can emulate the way real-world coaches and managers build the truly great football teams. Choose how to manage your team–focusing on creating one formidable squad, or managing multiple squads to match dynamic requirements for tournaments and competitions. Buy, sell, trade and acquire the biggest stars to build your team. Be strategic and tactical in preparing your squads for the various in-game competitions. A completely redesigned chemistry system built around player relationships on the pitch means that managing teams and squads to their full potential is even more critical to success. Take carefully assembled squads into standard tournaments and themed competitions against the most formidable teams from around the world – and then out wit and out play them.
FIFA 10 Ultimate Team is available now to purchase for 400 Microsoft points or $4.99 as a download via Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network to FIFA 10. FIFA 10 and an internet connection are required for play. FIFA 10 Ultimate Team is developed by EA Canada in Burnaby, B.C. It is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB and 3+ by PEGI.

Who’s gonna pick this up ?? Also who’s your favourite Street Fighter Character you enjoy using the most ?
Lady Raiders Publisher: Sarbakan Developer: Sarbakan Platforms: Xbox 360 Release Date: February 24th, 2010
To see more games by Sarbakan visit their website ‘Sarbakan Website’ and follow them on twitter for updates on their games ‘Sarbakan Twitter’.
Story “Dr. Diggabone’s so lazy he won’t even walk… But that’s not stopping him from going after 16 priceless lost relics. Jump in and take control as you tilt and flip the world to send him on a quest for instant fortune and fame.” [via http://www.lazyraiders.com/]
That little summary taken from the Lazy Raiders website pretty much sums up the entire story plot.
You play as Dr. Diggabone or your avatar (In Dr. Diggabone’s clothes). Even your avatar has become as lazy as Dr. Diggabone as gravity pulls you through the caves in search for your fortune. The game is a puzzle game, so it doesn’t require much of a story other then why you are there in the first place.
Gameplay The gameplay of Lazy Raiders requires you to shift the map by spinning the room and letting gravity do all the work. Since Dr. Diggabone is too lazy to move, he will just let gravity drag him down. By spinning and flipping the level you help him collect gems, idols, and relics. You can’t appreciate the entire mechanic until you see it for yourself, so here is the trailer for you guys to watch.
If you didn’t watch the trailer, then you really are missing out. So go watch it!
Now that you have watched the trailer, you can see that the game gives a feeling of being rushed, and having to quickly make your decisions. At times this is true but Lazy Raiders is still a puzzle game, so take your time and plan your actions carefully (unless you are going for a good time on the leaderboards, in which case you should do it as fast as possible).
The controls are simple. Y focuses the screen (Some people are quite sensitive to the spinning, and focusing the screen helps reduce the spinning effect slightly). The left and right triggers zoom in and out gradually, while the bumpers zoom in or out to the max level. Finally, A flips the map completely upside down.
Many things will try to kill you while solving these puzzles (actually you will kill yourself, since all the threats are based off of them coming to you due to gravity, or you spinning the map wrong and falling into harm’s way). Spikes are abundant, Boulders flow with gravity, and thieves steal your gems. There are 80 levels for you to master, each revealing even more traps and obstacles to avoid as you search the caves in search for treasure.
Audio
There is a small ambient of background music as you traverse through the levels. The background music helps envelop you within the atmosphere of the game, but it is usually drowned out by boulders hitting walls, blocks falling, and chimes as you pick up gems. The game seems to pride itself on its sound effects because these are more clearly evident and will catch your attention more than the background music.
Achievements
Lazy Raiders is entirely single player and all the achievements just take time, patients, and quick solving. Most of the achievements are pretty easy depending on your skill level, the hardest one is “Legend – Collect all 16 relics and all 192 idols”; pretty much 100% the game. If you manage to unlock the ‘Legend’ achievement you will most likely have unlocked every other achievement already.
The game also includes a few gamer pictures unlocked by starting the game. Two avatar awards are also within the game.
Dr. Diggabone’s Outfit – Unlocked by just starting the game. Dr. Diggabone’s Hat – Unlocked by collecting all 16 relics (beating the game)
(Below the achievement list is a picture with an avatar wearing the outfit and the hat in game, since it is the only thing your avatar can wear in the game)
The Achievement List is:
Prodigal -Find the mysterious Crystal Skull.
Olympian – Finish a maze in less than the gold time.
Filthy Rich – Amass your first million.
Friendly – Collect a relic with your Avatar.
Collector – Collect 25 idols.
Conqueror – Collect all 5 relics of the Seven Cities of Gold.
Generous – Let the Thieves snatch at least 1 million.
Spelunker – Collect all 5 relics of the Arctic Wrecks.
Guinea Pig – Get hurt by every type of trap.
Marshall – Collect all 5 relics of the Wild West.
Sprinter – Finish a maze in less than the developer’s time.
Legend – Collect all 16 relics and all 192 idols.
Overview
Lazy Raiders is a puzzle game with a unique “Spin” (excuse my pun and the ones that follow). It will keep you on your toes trying not to die, while at the same time forcing you to make accurately quick gravity switches to collect the gems. Lazy Raiders starts you off smoothly but quickly tosses you into the nearly impossible. Lazy Raiders is a truly mind spinning puzzle game and you won’t even notice the clock’s hands spinning as time flies by, except for those of you who use digital clocks (yeah, go ahead ruin my pun streak!). I give Lazy Raiders 9 capsules out of 10, so go buy it and get lazy! Hopefully this game gets onto the Iphone where the game mechanics can truly flourish.
Pros
Avatar Support! (pity you can’t wear your clothes, you instead wear Dr. Biggabone’s clothes)
A unique gameplay experience that combines strategic puzzle aspects and quick paced action aspects.
Leaderboards can lead to endless hours of competition against your friends and the world.
Cons
If you get dizzy easily, this is not a game for you. (I’d suggest downloading the demo first to make sure you can handle the gameplay mechanics).
Some of the sound effects reminded me of Mario and took me out of the treasure hunter feeling.
When flipping the entire level, it is extremely easy to lose your location and losing your location is dangerous when there are 3 boulders rolling around.
Optional
The game is a puzzle game, and is pretty difficult as you get higher up in the levels (especially if you want to get good times for the leaderboards and get every single idol). This can be a Pro or a Con depending on the skill level of the player, and whether they like a challenge or not.
Sarbakan has been gracious enough to supply an extra Lazy Raiders code for us to give to our readers. Leave a comment telling us why this game looks interesting to you for a chance to win. Once we get 20 to 30 comments we will pick a random winner and email him or her the code. Make sure your email is valid so we can send it to you.
We have some great news for Super Street Fighter IV fans. Earlier today Capcom Europe twittered the following :
“Super Street Fighter Pre-Order Items Confirmed – See Attached.”

I WANT ONE … well I want all of them if possible 😉 We next have unlockable or alternate costumes which would be provided to you via unlock codes, this is always good as it makes playing with your favourite character even more enjoyable. Finally we have limited edition t-shirts. Now these are big time collector items. Only 2 of 4 are shown which are RYU’s Gee and Guiles Army uniform.
