Wii Sports Resort review: http://tinyurl.com/meqjqu

And I feel bad for not updating the thread with this earlier, but Nick did a nifty Left 4 Dead 2 preview with video interview. Good stuff.

As promised, Hero of Canton interviews Keita Takahashi, creator of Noby Noby Boy and Katamari Damacy: http://tinyurl.com/n64df8

Really is a great read, very candid and revealing answers about unique games such as his (or lack thereof in the industry). How he wasn't satisified with Noby Noby Boy and not a little aggrieved at the lack of promotion it got.

Been a while. Slow summer is slow. But here we go again, starting with a FIFA blowout. I interview Peter Moore (eagle eyed readers may realise that I did this interview months ago :shifty: )

But that bastard Nick Cowen went out to Canada over the weekend to see FIFA10 in action. He was so impressed, he's already done two seperate previews.

In a nutshell though, he basically says it pisses on 09. And he thought 09 was brilliant, so there you go.

Anyway, go see. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/

Batman Arkham Asylum review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... eview.html

Comments left on the site will be muchos appreciated. We have a slight desperation to get discussion going on there, but, er, it never really happens, however many people actually read the damn thing.

Very nice review, no spoilers and yet full of information on how the game is played and presented.

Right. Anyone interested in Arkham Asylum should read this Paul Dini interview. Really good stuff.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... l#comments

And this September is 'LISTS MONTH' which is in no way an unashamed hits drive masquerading as games writing. But maybe we can have a little fun. First we had the most influential FPSes. Then today saw us pop up the 10 best video game musical scores: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... cores.html

Let us know what you think of that AND we're also running a vote for *drumroll* TEH BEST GAME EVARRRrrr...r... bleh. So cast your vote to stop it all going to hell: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... l#comments

Oh, and as a little bonus a Forza 3 hands-on preview: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... eview.html


Enjoy.

Pls read ma Beatles Rock Band review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... eview.html

Another plea to vote in the complete strawberry floating car crash that is a reader poll for BEST GAME EVAR. Please bring some kind of non-retardness to the party. Thanks.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/v ... -time.html

Bit more interesting, Top Ten Games Nobody Bought. I'm kicking myself as we should have included Chibi Robo, but hey-ho. What else have we missed? Plus, see dirty pirates ask us just who the strawberry float we think we are. Good times.

Yeah, Killer 7 is amazing. :wub:
Not that you'd actually know it from that entry. :shifty:

Biggest flutter of nostalgia I got was for Stranger's Wrath. God, that game was so good.

Telegraph stopped supporting the extensive gaming coverage I believe. Hence lack of pimping

BAH! That's pretty poor of them to do so, given how large the audience is for videogames. Thongings/Crash still work for the Telegraph?
