[Prototype 2] 360 Review
![[Prototype 2]](http://gamingedge.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/18_fullsize-300x224.jpg "[Prototype 2]")
I have mixed feelings about the first [Prototype], due mostly to its clunky handling and poor ideas of how enemies should be put in the players way. Here’s a hint: don’t throw so many enemies at a player that they get locked into a “fall down, get up” animation loop. However, as a whole, it [...]

First up in this three parter of news, is the confirmation of a rumour going around last week. Remember this? Well, it turns out it was no rumour and completely true. The Steam Wallet gift cards have gone on sale in U.S. GameStop stores in $20 and $50 denominations. While I understand that GameStop [...]

20. Forza Motorsport 4 The place of shame this week goes to Forza Motorsport 4…again. This keeps cropping up in here. Not that I’m complaining, I just wish this game would hurry up and decide whether or not it wants to be in these charts. Stop dipping in and out of my periphery vision! [...]

Kotaku reported a couple of days ago, that a “GameStop source” says that soon, the U.S. brick and mortar chain will be selling “Steam vouchers”, in much the same way that retail stores currently sell cards for XBL and PSN. There aren’t very many details, but, assuming this isn’t some sort of hoax, this is [...]

Well, more than a year on and Valve are still coming out with awesome stuff for Portal 2. Their latest concoction? Nothing short of bloody awesome is what. The Perpetual Testing Initiative is not your ordinary DLC, in that you download it and get a few extra levels for your trouble. No, this 2+Gb download [...]

20. UFC Undisputed 3 The place of shame this week goes to UFC Undisputed 3, which has dropped 3 places this week from 17th. Co-incidence? No! It’s proof that Half-Life 3 will be out 17th of March, 2013! #tinfoilhat In case it wasn’t obvious, I’m joking. 19. Gran Turismo 5 19th place and the year and [...]

No. Non. Nein. Iie. (That’s Japanese, for those not in the know) How many times can I say it? How many languages do you want it in? NO. My personal love/hate relationship with EA is well documented on this site now, so I’m not going to go into it, but I just can’t believe this [...]

I probably shouldn’t say this, but this made me laugh. Hell, I probably shouldn’t even laugh, but there’s nothing quite like a big company getting a swift boot up the arse on occasion, even if an entire country does miss out on a product. According to the article on Develop, it seems Microsoft got a [...]

That’s actually an awesome title for a game. Anywho, PopCap Games, creators of popular titles such as Bejewled, Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies, has just announced its first merchandising partnerships in its 12 year history. Joining forces with various merch companies, the first run of swag will be based on the hit lawn defence game, [...]

20. F1 2011 The place of shame this week goes to a racing game the second time in a row. This week, it’s F1 2011, in all its shininess. Doesn’t matter how good you are though, 20th place is still 20th place. 19. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception makes a re-appearance in 19th this [...]
