Dungeon Defenders
To come straight to the point, yes, Dungeon Defenders is basically a tower defence game. So, how is it any different from your average title? Fun characters with upgradeable weapons and co-op play are just a couple of things that stand out, but before this review gets too cliché, let’s add that although not totally unique, it’s a … game… oh darn it.
Eat the Food of Your Games
How much attention do you pay to the food in games? Not the obvious stuff like in The Sims which you feed your Sim, the little things like what you pick up for energy in fighting games or something you see on a poster in a shop window or what you might kick around in Oblivion/Skyrim.
NEO-GEO Pocket Returns… Or Not.
Sites around the internet are buzzing about a potential new handheld from SNK, the device is apparently a new form of NEO-GEO Pocket Color, but it seems too much like an iPhone to actually be real. In fact, although the supposed specifications say that it’s slightly bigger than an iPhone, the case looks pretty much exactly like Apple have their hand over the phone to the lawyers.
See the Ultimate Fallout: New Vegas Trailer
If I hadn’t already bought two of the downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas on the Xbox 360, I would have snapped up the Ultimate Edition without a second thought and traded in my solus copy of the game since you get ALL the DLC, including the Courier’s Stash and Gun Runners’ Arsenal.
Minicraft Wanders Freely Onto Android Market
Available now, for absolutely no money, on the Android Market is what you might call a 2D version of Minecraft which is aptly named, Minicraft.

FIFA 12 Kicks Off 2012 Charts
It was number one at the end of the year and now it seems that it is still top of gamers lists that haven’t yet got it, FIFA 12 gets another week at the top of the charts, the bad news is, a certain fitness title is creeping (read: shooting) its way back up towards the top… Darn you Christmas and your ways of making people want to lose weight!
FUS LEGO DAH!
It seems LEGO is becoming the new Rule 34; if it exists, there’s a LEGO version of it. The latest and possibly greatest thing to be given the plastic block treatment is Skyrim, I’m not sure how they put them together as they’re non-standard kits, but made up by the person or artist out of whatever LEGO they happen to have at hand.
Netflix Hits the UK, LOVEFiLM Cries in Corner
It’s all over the internet already that Netflix has arrived in the UK and it seems like LOVEFiLM saw it as a threat before it hit our shores by making a deal with the BBC and ITV to show the best of what the channels has had to offer. As if that isn’t enough, LOVEFiLM has also dropped its monthly charge by £1 (not on website at time of posting), but is that enough to draw potential Netflix subscribers away?
Nintendo UK Downloads feat. Doodle Fit
Christmas is now over and you have those gift cards and/or money left over, if the gift cards are for Nintendo, then there’s a little selection of games you might be interested in that include a couple of puzzlers and something for the girls.
South Park Screens? You B*st*rd!
Videogames of TV shows are more miss than hit, gamers wanted to see a Family Guy game and that didn’t quite turn out as well as expected, but South Park has had a moderate hit before, so will this new one be better or worse?
