That guy's a Maniac...

Chuff_72 was heard typing "shhh don't tell anyone, but I think I'm gonna get a 360" This is from the guy who helped set up SONY and the original Playstation and made gaming the cultural force it is today. This shocking turn of events (for those of you who don't know what this means) is akin to Tony Blair unveiling his schlong and "smegming" up George W.Bush's face the next time he sees him. It also highlights just how bad SONY have fucked up for this Bigwig in the games industry to jump ship. Remember people you saw it here first.

...Sucks. 1. It is made by Llamasoft Jeff "I should have stopped with the Amiga" Minter's company. 2. Music does not sync up with the images. 3. All the images are subliminal, either with floating X's or floading boxes. 4. When chaning tracks the visualiser must be cancelled, then the user has to scroll through the songlist whith annoying blips and bloops. 5. Someone who has watched it has probably killed someone. (Help me Jack, the visualiser made me kill.)

This one is especially for Cunzy as he LOVES the Dragonball Series, I don't know that much about it because I'm 25 and dont watch cartoons anymore. It comes out on the 27th October! it has 130 characters, I dare you to name one other fightin game with that many characters, I DARE YOU.

WHoa! So it's been a bit Hellbound Angels round here with all the updates. However, today's update has some serious gravity. Bully the New Rockstar Game has been targeted by Jack Thompson and no doubt the International American Unsatisifed Angry Housewives and Mothers For Justice (IAUAHaMFJ). The Beeb has the scoop. "I'm pretty sure that the game is harmful to minors," Mr Thompson told the Washington Post newspaper. Seriously who gives a shit about minors anymore? Minors smoke, drink, get pregnant, get fat, get kidnapped by paedos, beaten by American Mothers, beaten by their fathers, fiddled with by Uncle Amber, bullied at school, get mumps, chicken pox, peform inordinate amounts of fellatio in the back of cars, take lots of drugs beat up the ederly, don't have to work, they still fall in love and they don't have bills to pay. SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFE WE ALL WISH WE COULD HAVE!!. I reckon if Jack Thompson and the concerned mothers of America had a week of

Micro-Transaction : (adj) 1. A small payment taken from a holding sum. 2. a very small transaction. 3. Anal Rapage. Right for those of you who dont know Micro Transactions are getting more and more widespread throughout the gaming community. X-Box live is already a user of this system, the user buys some Points using real world cash, the points are then redeemed for virtual "prizes"from in game content to Dashboard skins. But where does it all end? Lately i heard some rather sick news, the Gran Turismo that will be coming out for the PS3 will be reliant on these Micro-Transactions. The game will come with a poultry amout of cars and tracks, the user then purchases cars and tracks based on the progress he/she has made. Anyways GT team are saying that there will be literally 100's of extra content to download. I did some calculations based on the prices they gave and it totalled just under $1000 for all tracks and cars... $1000 to get a 100% complete rating Fuck that.

According to Guardian Gamesblog there will not only be NES, SNES, N64, Master system and Megadrive games available to download via "micro-transactions" but also Commodore 64 titles. This tenuous link allows me to talk about the last great game to ever come out on the C64. Mayhem in monsterland was a platformer from Apex (The creators of Creatures) and published by Codemasters. It was a great wee game each level was split in 2 with the dark world and light world. In the dark world Mayem (the yellow dinosaur pictured above) would collect magic dust from all over the level then hand it in to a giant dinosaur who would spread it round the land making it a light and happy world. Mayhem had two main attacks, he could jump on enemies heads ( a la Mario) or do a dashing spin attack ( a la Sonic), and as much as these attacks were the norm of the time the game (which many were lacking at this time) had a real sense of style and playability.

We were lucky enough to bag an interview with the Woman (Homophobia) behind the soon to be released Tunnel B1. It was a really good interview too
