Initially bloggers and gamers alike touted it as the Wii’s Halo killer, but nothing could be confirmed. Rumor after rumor passed by, pairing up High Voltage with this or that publisher. Even Nintendo of America was one of the rumored contenders.

The Conduit finally landed in SEGA’s court, and they handled the publishing of the game. It was a somewhat surprising pairing, but no body really blinked an eye after it was confirmed. You might be wondering how SEGA’s interest in The Conduit began, and why they decided to publish the game.

The Resident Evil series holds a special place in my heart. In fact, there aren’t too many series available that make me want every game in the anthology. And now, a third Resident Evil 4 is in my collection. The game that reinvented the Resident Evil series has made its way to the iPhone.

Although, after playing Doom Resurrection, I was less than excited about another shooter. With that being known, is this another failed iPhone shooter? Or does it provide a glimmer of hope for future shooters on the platform? Read more… »

Piranha Bytes’ fantasy RPG Risen has been banned in the land of gold and green. The Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) deemed the adventure to be too explicit for Australia’s MA 15+ rating for videogames, thanks largely to the inclusion of sexual activities and drug use in conjunction with ‘quests’ that are able to be triggered in-game.

Head inside for the latest and greatest in the Australian way of life.
