Myself and Wolfgang Gruener have just sat, with our mouths agape, as a Playstation 3 bidding war on Ebay reached $10,001.00 a few minutes ago. We nearly fell off of our chairs when it went to $15,000

It was bound to happen. We predicted it would happen. It's happening... E3 has been shrunk down to size, and now somebody else wants to replace it with a new show, exactly the same as the old one. Bi

The console makers are on to a winner with these so called "micro transactions", providing relatively cheap add on content for games via digital download. Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace is the fir

According to a recent Ipsos MORI poll in the UK, three in five 11 - 16 year olds are in favour of using video games in the classroom. I'll let Eurogamer break down the numbers for you, but suffice to

Yaknow considering how much we in the tech press like to have a go at 3D Realms over Duke Nukem (it'll take) Forever, I think that Half-Life creators Valve get off extremely easy for their own vaporw

I like restaurants when they're quiet, like when you've left a movie at 11 pm and you slip in for a plate of chips (fries, yank.) But I absolutely, completely and utterly, unequivocally, bloody well

If there is one thing that video games are not particularly good at doing, it is convincing storylines. If there is one thing that the video game industry likes to think that it is good at meanwhile,

My sincerest apologies dear readers for the lack of a Saturday Gamer in recent times. I can assure you that it wasn't the football (soccer, yanks) that has made me become so lax in my duties of late.

I've watched very few videogame franchises develop and mature quite so well as the Hitman series has done over the past six years. In 2000 we got Hitman: Codename 47, a promising title which pitted y

E3 is generally a themed event, with one or two issues dominating the whole proceedings and all other facets orbiting around this. This year as well as last it was the consoles which ruled. Two years

We've all heard the anecdotes about somebody buying a computer with a one year warranty, and it then kicking the bucket on the exact 366th day they own it. This is why I've always thought of myself a

The issue of returning videogames for a refund is one I touched on when speaking with Rob Wright on the issue of games testing, or "trying before you buy." These days an awful lot of, if not all, sto

Comparing old games to new ones is a tricky business. On the one hand if you compare Doom to Doom III nowadays, well, there is no comparison. Doom is fairly 2D to the modern gamer in many more ways t

Ohh it has been a week and a half. I'm unlucky where Monday's are concerned, with everything large and small tending to go wrong to add to the general Monday Morning Feeling. However this week my Mon

Microsoft's Xbox 360 launched in Europe to much fanfare and applaud last night, and despite the fact that most shops sold out in about 30 seconds there haven't yet been too many complaints from Europ
