Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 review

When I was first sent this game I thought Capcom had made a mistake and sent me the Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds game I’d reviewed months ago. Then I realised the word ‘ultimate’ at the beginning of the game and realised it’s almost the same game but might be worthy of your pennies if you’re a serious and want some more modes to play with. So what’s the story? Well, the good guys and bad guys from both universes decide to have a bit of a barney and then for good measure along comes Galactus with...

Game over for Battlefield 3 cheats

It looks like Battlefield 3 makers DICE have decided to enlist the help of, well, just about everyone in their on-going crusade against in-game cheats. In a recent blog post DICE announced that Battlefield cheats can now be reported by anyone – not just DICE employees. If players witness an in-game cheat, they can now report them using Battlelog with cheats apparently facing having their stats wiped and being banned from the game.

XCOM release date delayed

If you’re looking forward to the reboot of the 90’s sci-fi shooter XCOM coming out this year then I’m sorry to say it’s coming out in 2013. So if all the soothsayers out there are correct you won’t be able to play it because the world’s going to end before then. There is light at the end of the tunnel though because the strategy title XCOM Enemy Unknown is still going to make it this year so at least you’ll get a few months of gameplay in before everything on planet Earth ceases to exist.

Star Wars The Old Republic cheats

Star Wars: The Old Republic is pleasing fans online at the moment who are into that whole MMO thing with over 800,000 people creating their versions of Sith Warriors and Jedi Knights. BioWare have just released a patch which fixes some gameplay issues including a fix to the cover mechanic and the Sith Corruption Toggle and also one that stops the Bounty Hunter class story being completed in certain circumstances. They’re still to fix an exploit though where people can dance their way to victory by using the getdown emote to interrupt enemy and boss attacks. I’ve heard of killer...

Nintendo 3DS Metal Gear Solid Special Edition

Not happy with just having a boring old green Nintendo 3DS? Well, if like some footballers in the spotlight at the moment, colour may be an issue to you, you’ll be happy to know that a special edition of the device will be released along with Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D in the form of an embossed snakeskin effect. There’s no word yet if it will be released in all territories apart from Japan but the big question we’re thinking is why would you want it? Unless of course you’re a cowboy or you’re a very fashion conscious female...
