You would have thought the much loved friend code system would be enough but Nintendo have revealed that Mario Kart Wii will not only lack voice chat, but also a fully fledged text-chat system.
Instead they have implemented a device where you can communicate via choosing pre-written options from a list, most likely meaning such in depth conversation topics as “Whoa this is fun!” and “I’ll get you back for that!”.

Good news for the Jack Thompsons of the world and bad news for fans of video games. I can only imagine that this decision has been implemented so as to foil the half baked plans of would-be paedophiles.

From what we’ve seen over the past year I wouldn’t place place any bets on Nintendo getting the hang of this internet thing for quite a while.

Along with Sony’s new flagship title for the PSP, God of War, came universal acclaim (a metascore of 94) although there is also concern over the length of the game.

Wired.com blogger Chris Kohler reports;

Chains of Olympus is still really short at just under five hours. I’d be a little more forgiving of this if the game was jam-packed full of holy-shit moments like previous God of War games, but it just isn’t.

This sounds disappointing to say the least.
Watch this space as I will be picking this game up on release and will give you my verdict then.

What? You haven’t heard of this game? You’re not interested in a video game cash in of Lost? Either way you now have reason to be excited, as the first couple of reviews have come out and the verdict is more than anybody could have expected from Ubisludge.

Here is a summary of the reviews; Read the rest of this entry »

Absurd though it might seem, the industry of computer games and all its bretheren are in a small cycle of flux. In recent years, we have seen the spectacular crash of E3 and the rise of smaller, more focused gatherings that adhere to something a little more down to earth. That of slagging off each others consoles because they don’t fit within our specific lifestyles. Well let me tell you a little known fact this side of ‘Electric Town’ :- all electronic games are not worth the entrance fee, let alone the bit of plastic/metal/chuffbox they were printed on.

My current favourite console to slag off is the Nintendo Foreskin. So called due to the abstract colours they were initially launched with. Now call me Mr Game Hater if it makes you feel any better, but this constant rubbing of the peripheral on my genitalia does not good interactive entertainment make. Just give me a week to let the swelling subside and I’ll show you just what I think of the whole idea.

Next time, I think I’ll have a go at the ‘American Mother Swallowers of small independant games developers who haven’t shown an ounce of originality since the dawn of mankind’, EAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!’
