"Gotten" is one of my least favourite words ever. Just use the more elegant "received" or "became" instead!
Finally played Enslaved on 360. Worth picking up but with Beyond Good and Evil HD out soon that's more worthy of my time. Sorry, Namco.
Worst part of modern consoles is the hours lost to downloading updates. Save me, Nintendo!
Wish I could stay at home and watch Scrapheap Challenge all day. It's inspired me to make my own speedboat from a Land Rover roof. Helpers?
Only early birds need apply
We recently reported about how North American gamers can get their hands on Victini in Nintendo's upcoming Pokémon Black and White, but fear not European gamers: you'll get your chance too.
Any surprises?
We know 3DS is just over a month away, but don't forget the Wii and DS are both set to receive more great games this year, with plenty of gems tucked away in Nintendo's Q1 release schedule.
Price drops below £100
Kinect was flying off the shelves before Christmas, but the lack of games released for the sensor after the festive period has presumably left retailers with plenty of stock sat in warehouses and on shelves, as UK supermarket giant Tesco is the latest shop to cut the sensor's price.
While enthusiastic coders do everything from play Angry Birds with Kinect to make shadow puppets, Microsoft has its own plan for Kinect that goes far beyond gaming.
Rejoice!
There's been plenty of confusion lately about the launch of the 3DS's eShop, which will allow users to download DSiWare games, 3DS demos and more. At first we believed the store would be ready at launch, then Nintendo Japan's financial results claimed the 3DS eShop would launch in May. Now Nintendo America has clarified that at the very least the Virtual Console will be available on the console's launch day, according to an article by IGN.It's important to note that some of these features, most notably the Virtual Console/e-Shop idea, will not be available out of the box, but will need to be downloaded from a Wi-Fi connection. Nintendo has clarified that the Virtual Console will be available immediately upon the launch of the 3DS.So far the only titles confirmed for the system's Virtual Console are Super Mario Land and Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, but expect other titles to hit the shelves on launch day.
