Video Game News and Reviews

I guess this is part 1 of the review because I’m currently playing the first game, Escape From Butcher Bay. If you are wondering why I’m playing the first not and not the new one, the reason is because Assault on Dark Athena comes with a free copy of Escape From Butcher Bay, how good of the guys at Atari. So really this is more of a review for Escape From Butcher Bay, but the Assault on Dark Athena review will be coming soon, and if the game is anything like the original, it should be great. When I first started playing Butcher Bay I was slightly confused because you play the first part of the game, and then you…

It appears that the Lego franchise can be stretched further than we had every imagined. The guys at Lego who created games like Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman have teamed up with the music game legends Harmonix to create a brand new game, surprisingly called, Lego Rock Band.

I know Zavvi went into administration recently after christmas, but some time after, they somehow got back on their feet and are continueing to sell products, although I haven’t actually seen a Zavvi store recently. Well, for some reason I’m on the Zavvi mailing list, although the only thing I ever bought from them was in store, but anyway, I got this email said I get £3 off if I spend £30.
