Monkeys love Weasels!

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Are you getting the free Gamesweasel video show?

It’s true and the proof is here in digital glory. Whilst appearing for a press event to promote the imminent launch of Samba De Amigo for the Wii, Samba the monkey couldn’t stop himself from checking the latest edition of Gamesweasel TV! Ahhhh, bless the little ugly ball of fluff.

Super Smash Bros Brawl Showdown

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

In a similar vein to the Mario Kart Grand Wii contest in April, Nintendo have this time announced a special nationwide tournament to celebrate the long awaited release of Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii. On the 28th June you can head to a selection of Gamestation stores around the country to take part in a mammoth 64 player (2×32) knockout competition. Unlike the Mario Kart event, the grand prize isn’t a car but instead the winner from each store will bag a Samsung 40” Full-HD LCD TV and a Samsung Home Theatre System, including a DivX-compatible DVD player, subwoofer and 5 Dolby Digital stereo speakers. Runners up in each store will receive an iPod Nano!
You’ll need to be quick and register your participation ASAP as spaces are limited.

Video Games Live Music Show heading back to the UK

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The widely acclaimed Video Games Live music show is heading our way once again. Often unrecognized in the popular music industry, video game music is actually an important piece of entertainment in its own right. Nowadays video game music is written by very talented and well known composers and performed by some of the world’s best orchestras. Video Games Live hopes to dispel the myth that all video game music is made up of plickty plonky noises and celebrate some of the great music that we’ve enjoyed over the years in our favourite games in a full evenings worth of audio and visual delight.

It’s great to hear that the show is coming to Glasgow (June 26, 2008) and London (TBA) this year. Check out the official site below for more details and watch they great trailer below to see just what to expect from this amazing show.

London Games Festival

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Great news for UK gamers, the London Games Festival is returning. This is one of the few chances us British public get to try out new and upcoming games from all of the big name developers. Details are sparse at the moment but I would expect it to be similar to last year, full of games, the odd celebrity and lots of fun but silly events to take part in. To register for more information sign up to the London Games Festival newsletter on their web site.
