Hi I'm Dan (aka Scrooby). I'm an 18 year old gamer and full time Web Developer for FreshEgg. Most of gaming tends to be on the Xbox 360 mainly because I love the achievement system. My favourite games are mainly FPS games, Halo, Gears of War and Call of Duty are particular favourites. However, I'll play pretty much all genres of games, anything from Guitar Hero 5 to Lego Harry Potter, they're all great!

A brand new trailer has been released for the next upcoming game in the Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. In the latest video, we get a good look at some of the fancy police cars, not sure what police force could afford motors like that, alongside the range of privately owned exotic cars that we can look forward to playing this November. The cars aren’t the only thing to look forward to though. As you’ll see in the trailer below, the game includes over 100 miles of roads to race on, littered with amazing scenery and high speed turns. Finally, the trailer also gives us a sneak peak into the brand new “Autolog” feature which makes it easier…

After yet another year on year drop in sales for the biggest game retailer in the UK, GAME Group have announced for the second time this year that they will be closing down some of their stores over the next 3 years. GAME Group, which owns both GAME and GameStation stores, currently own 635 stores across the UK, even after closing 15 stores earlier this year. Over the next 3 years, the gaming retailer plans to shut down another 85 of their stores across the UK. A lot of gamers won’t be effected by this change massively as GAME Group are trying to cut down on their overlapping stores, for example, where there is a GameStation and a GAME store…

Crazy Halo: Reach Statistics

Halo: Reach has been out for just under 1 week now and in that short time, some crazy statistics have been released by Bungie in their first weekly update. As of last Friday, over8 million daily challenges have been completed and over 78 billion credits have been earned. These two statistics are pretty impressive, however, my personal favourites are that over 950 years have been spent in matchmaking, and over an absolutely massive 1360 years have been spent playing the campaign. You’ll notice that these statistics were as of Friday 17th, so you can expect these to have rose drastically over the weekend, being the first weekend after release. In Bungie’s first weekly update they also announced that they will…
