Nintendo has announced a new device, the 3DS, that will officially succeed the DS range of handheld gaming devices.

What makes it so cool? Purportedly, the 3DS will display fully 3D graphics without special glasses. (more…)

You probably couldn’t guess what CyberDodo, star of his own series of video games, is up to in his latest adventure. Hands up if you thought it was “defending children against sexual exploitation”? Anybody?

Of course, the rights of children are a serious, serious topic but at CyberDodo.com, they’re also the stuff that video games are made of. The website, which counts Interpol and the United Nations Commission on the Rights of the Child as its partners, aims to spread awareness of several threats to children in the world, including starvation and sexual slavery.

So, how are these games? (more…)

Ja, Tracy's fast, but Kerry's way faster.

Rockstar is holding back GTA: Episodes from Liberty City for both PlayStation 3 and PC for an extra two weeks due to last minute changes to the game’s radio, television and internet content (you know, like, the best and funniest part of the game). In a word, what we’re dealing with is censorship. (more…)

Two Ubisoft titles, the fantastic Assassin’s Creed II and submarine sim Silent Hunter V are no longer available on the UK servers of Steam, Valve Software’s content delivery service. (more…)

England v Australia. You have to fancy the Aussies.

Codemasters, responsible for the enjoyable Brian Lara series, is bringing us a new cricket game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in International Cricket 2010. (more…)

So, what do you think of God of War?

If you happen to pick up the tropy “Spartans Stand Tall”, you’ll be directed to this website.

What does it mean? Not much so far, the website is pretty boring, to be honest. But the smart money is on something kiff popping up there soon.

If you missed yesterday’s PS3 discount bonanza (which, admittedly, we also had until 4.55pm), there’s still hope. Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarkets around the country had been selling 120GB PS3’s for a criminally low R2299… but predictably, stock soon ran out. Game, however, are commited to beating their competitors’ prices, so you might still be able to pick one up there, as our trusty drive-like-hell-and-shop correspondent managed to do yesterday. Check it out:

R1650 left over for God of War and many, many packets of Nik Naks

Admittedly, Game isn’t bound to honour their price beating offer if their competitors are out of stock. But the nice guys at Game Canal Walk didn’t seem to mind… and they had 16 units left as of yesterday. You’ll need yesterday’s Burger or Beeld newspaper.

UPDATE: We’ve heard from OneLargePrawn that Game in Canal Walk is out of stock. Are there any cheapo PS3′s still to be had???
