No comments“Sweaty Hands Slip Off Joysticks”
…That was the message that greeted you when you typed W, A, N, K into your keyboard while playing Archer MacLean’s classic 8-bit scrapper International Karate +.
Despite acquiring a gamut of new games in the past week or so, I haven’t played anything at all over the last three days. Not a thing. It’s too darn hot, even for our seemingly most sedentary of hobbies.
On Saturday last I tried playing some Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits, but after a couple of short set lists I felt so pooped it was like I was actually performing in some heaving arena, sweat pools forming in my pits and my fingers slipping off the fret buttons. Drumming was even worse. It was all a bit much frankly, and there were no topless women astride distant shoulders to keep me rockin’. Read more

No commentsDisney/Black Rock takes back-to-back E3 poll pole with Split/Second

No commentsMass Effect Galaxy launches on iPhone
Electronic Arts has launched Mass Effect Galaxy for the iPhone. Playing the role of Citadel soldier, Jacob Taylor, your role is to fight against aliens using various styles of weaponry in a game that is described as being much more action-based than the original Xbox360 version.
If you didn’t already know, Jacob Taylor will feature in Mass Effect 2, with details of the character’s story being unlocked as players interact with Citadel inhabitants via dialogue scenes and conversations.
Fancy, huh? The iPhone platform linking Mass Effect 1 & 2 together quite nicely. You know, I’d be quite tempted to buy an iPhone so that I could play this if I thought that the original Mass Effect was actually any good.
Don’t get me wrong; it’s a great game if you like glossy sci-fi movies with zero depth, punctuated by long elevator rides that separate scenes with a bit of alien punani titillation thrown in for the kids. It ain’t no classic though. All in my humble opinion, of course.
No commentsGamerDork UK #003.5: A little bit of filler
GamerDork UK #004’s still to be edited, but xib’s going to be taking his iMac in for a service this week so we thought we’d give you a little filler for now.
So, please enjoy 30 minutes of “What You Will Be Playing” and a run-down of the UK’s Top 10 gaming charts.
