Video Game News and Reviews

Everyone knows that buying a video game is not cheap. At around £40 each for the standard version, plus extra for the limited edition, making games last as long as possible is very important. This is where additional content comes in, many games these days are releasing new content for you to buy and download from the various console networks.

If you are a hardcore fan of the Halo franchise but are getting slightly tired of the bog standard maps that come with the game, maybe it’s time to buy some extra Microsoft points and get your hands on…

A rather good April Fools Day trick appeared on the World of Warcraft site yesterday, they advertised a new feature that would be coming to World of Warcraft in the next patch content.
