An interesting new addition to the PSN is set to materalise tomorrow in the form of VidZone, a new music video streaming service exclusive to European territories. Once launched, it will arrive pre-packaged with a strong wealth of content, with a reported 10,000 videos available to view. These videos can also be arranged into custom playlists for ease of use.

Let’s just hope it grows a trifle faster than Home. Read more… »

I’ve got a slight feeling that Wolfenstein 3D will not quite have that same amazing charm that it did the first time I played it. Killing the Nazi regime is fun and all, but I don’t know if it is quite the same as it used to be.

All 60 levels of Wolfenstein 3D will be hitting both consoles on June 4th, and it will give gamers something else contructive to do besides hit refresh over and over to check out the latest news for E3. One of the unique things is a slight twist they’ve put on the game, and I personally think it is a smashing idea!

This is one such occasion that I have looked at a collection of words for a few seconds and tried to make sense of what is going on around me. Is this really something I should be bothering my life with? “Yes” is the answer to that, because sometimes it’s nice to make no sense of something. I can’t make head nor tail of Noby Noby Boy, quite literally. But that’s why I love it so. And, apparently, so do many others – he’s just got to Mars! Hit the jump for a mindf*** of a video.
