BloodBowl has been in development for a while now by Cyanide Studios and while the Xbox, PSP and DS versions are still getting more layers of paint applied to the in game figurines, the PC version has been completed, is dry and ready to play with. The price is set at $49US and is available to download from here.
Unfortunately for me the hardware requirements mean that I’ll be waiting for the Xbox version for my fix.
Nostalgia is a funny thing. A gem of a memory from your childhood can easily be destroyed by revisiting it today. Sega has put this risk in reach for all of us with the release of the Sega Vintage range. So has this release altered my view of a classic childhood coin-op?
You are N’rotan, son of Henman, charged with recovering the Golden Racket of Yendor! Your journey will take you across many courts, and you must slam and slice your way to the top of every grandslam tournament in Tennisonia. Also, when you serve, you’re going to hit a pokeball, because they’re marketable. Also, does anyone know the name of a game which has tentacles, and a pin you have to find on a map?
We ask the developers of Tony Hawk: Ride if Project Natal invalidates their peripheral and interview the lead designer of The Conduit.
Those of you that downloaded Space Invaders Extreme on Xbox LIVE Arcade and were disappointed by the lack of an “original” arcade version of the game may be pleased to learn that there are plans on releasing DLC for the game which includes such an option. In an interview with Siliconera, a senior artist for the game had been coy about an unlockable original Space Invaders game coming with Extreme, saying: More »
In a battle of egos and e-cred, website Team Xbox has thrown down the gauntlet in an attempt to one up gaming website 1UP. A few days ago, 1UP reported that Project Natal would form the basis for the Xbox 360 replacement as early as next year.

Just a reminder to rearrange your plans for tonight if you haven’t already. For “up to 24 hours” from 7pm (New Zealand time), Xbox LIVE will be down for maintenance. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we are back before tomorrow night, but no guarantees there.
In the meantime you could listen to a ButtonMasher podcast, take out your anger in our forums, or game on your PS3 or Wii instead.
With the hype surrounding GTAIV it looked like Rockstar would be releasing the game to end all games, but upon release it seemed that many were upset with a bunch of decisions Rockstar made with the presentation of the title, and of course the decision to make it damn near mandatory to partake in ridiculous “social” activities with your cousin and in-game friends to ensure you don’t lose their respect, thus losing extra items or helpful companions. All in all, it left a rather sour taste in the mouth of many and it seems very few actually enjoyed the experience from start to finish (despite getting rave reviews from damn near everywhere).

Seriously, ask Brian….. It is too a good excuse….. No….. Uh-huh….. Pffft I did too play it. Whatever dude. Check the review after the break. More »
ADK is not explained in the episode. Or is it! A week full of the latest videogames will do strange things to a man, which would explain why Wugga and Brian sound somewhat burnt out. But there’s some content injected into the podcast via an interview with an Uncharted 2 developer, a HUGE PS3 contest, and an intro by TIM SCHAFFER!?
While waiting in line at the Microsoft we happened to be next to James Silva, the creator of The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. What better excuse to give Jason some camera time.
