  • Skate 2

    You know what I miss? When you load up an EA game and the guy says, “EA Sports, it’s in the game”. I think they should bring that back, just thought I’d share that with you first. The scene of Skate 2 returns us to a make-over city of New San Vanelona. Not much of…

  • Toon it!

    Okay, should you ever be out in the town with me (and despite that a 5’1″ Chinese girl often stays in your sight from the corner of your eye), ‘if’ for some reason we hit a store that sells DVDs and I disappear as fast as Speedy Gonzales, don’t panic. The little gamer girl can…

  • We Play Games – 21st Feb in London!

    Now it’s all cool what we get to do with Ready Up, trotting along to special events, interviewing and hanging out with key figures of the games industry, playing the new upcoming games, nabbing freebies and feeling chuffed about our experiences. We’re also quite the little sociable nippers frequently playing online, discussing games and being…

  • Every day is a new fight

    Soul Calibur IV, the only game that I have been loyal to since the first day of purchase. I have a few times before purchased and traded in only to be bought again. However this will never be the case because I love this game too much. I remember my excitement being totally torn apart…

  • Wii will miss you

    This week I had to let go of my Nintendo Wii due to personal circumstances. A sad feeling but it was a last resort. So before I packed up my beautiful console, I hooked her up one more time. A last wave of goodbye to the population of innocent Miis, a tug of my heart…

  • Blast from the past

    Everyday without fail I’ll be carrying the same four items with me: house keys, mobile phone, wallet and my mp3 player. I think music on the go is pretty dominant in a lot of our lives, I’ll be shocked if a day passes not seeing one person with headphones in. Sometimes it makes me wonder…

  • Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3

    It use to be Japan’s exclusive back in 2005 until now, finally Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 arrives in Europe for 2008. Third in line of the Ultimate Ninja series, fans can play more of Naruto and other favourite shinobi’s in training. The game is set to for us to enjoy the last years of the…

  • Sack the new bosses

    M.Bison (Street Fighter), Master Hand (Smash Bros) and Cervantes (Soul Calibur) Remember these three guys? Back in the old gaming days these bosses use to make my blood boil. Total pwnage and I was handed over 20 times before I’d somehow scrape victory. However annoying they were though being such nasty difficulty spikes at the…

  • WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009

    The next season of the WWE Smackdown VS Raw has begun and I was kinda hesitant to try it out. One half of me reminded that I’d been let down since the series stopped my custom divas making a career after Smackdown 2 (PS1). The other half of me beckoned me to play it for…

  • Remember, remember the games of November!

    Okay one thing I truly have to ask you all, how many of your games do you complete? Everytime I log onto Xbox Live you’re all already playing the new release titles. Seriously some of you have too much money to burn. Believe me I know the excitement of seeing fresh shiny boxes on shelves…
