Two titles left in the Cave…
Unless you’ve been living in a Cave, it’s hard to not know about the success the Japanese based developer, Cave, have had with shooter games. We’ve reviewed one and have one on the way already! However, the global success of the company’s games haven’t helped their finances unfortunately and they’ve had to cancel two games.
Devil’s Third dumped, South Park delayed and a possible onslaught of DLC
It’s not easy “out there”, Greece failing, half of Europe falling apart and the world money market just not really existing anymore. Almost everyone is feeling some sort of pain and game developers and publishers are no different than the rest of us. This is one of the reasons why THQ have had to delay and drop games.
Toyota and DS team up…
The Nintendo DS is still huge in Japan, in fact, it’s still pretty huge everywhere and as such companies are still interested in developing for it. This is a bit of a strange development, but a car manufacturer have managed to make a little addon that makes the Nintendo DS work with the car’s in built navigation system.
Behind the scenes with a Mouse
Once upon a time he was the most recognised character in the world, he had theme parks created for him and in the 90s had some of the best games on the Megadrive made by him. These days, Mickey Mouse has been forgotten by all these new fangled cartoons but this hasn’t stopped Disney from creating a sequel to Epic Mickey, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and a behind the scenes trailer has been released.
Special sheep episode available now
Stop animation is something that’s existed for a trillion years and also something that many people associate to be British, presumably because of the quirky Wallace and Gromit and Morph animations that are so popular, even today.

Minecraft on Xbox Live breaks one million sales
Whilst some developers have been increasingly vocal about their criticism of the Xbox Live platform in recent years, it would appear that a game with a cult following, or a good game, will sell. Regardless of price or what platform you sell it on.
Street Fighter X Tekken disappoints
Fighting games are ten a penny these days and few can live up to the enjoyment that Super Smash Bros, an essentially non-fighty, button bashing game, can bring to the table. So it’s little wonder why Capcom are a little disappointed with recent fighting game sales.
New Rainbow Moon screenshots
So with Rainbow Moon around the corner, it’s time for some new screenshots to be released to whet our whistles and it’s certainly whistling. The screenshots make Rainbow Moon look like one of the best JPRGs of the SNES era, but brought right to the forefront of modern gaming. Let’s hope the game matches the screenshots on it’s release for the PS3.
Patch karts its way onto Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 7 is the latest iteration of the legendary Mario Kart series that has managed to put almost all other racing games out of business and yet even Nintendo fall foul to bugs and have sadly managed to enter the 21st Century.
UK Charts Week 19
So another week with a delayed charts, but this time we’re at fault. Yesterday two members of the VGN team moved home so everyone downed tools to help them on their quest to a new abode. No more living under a bookcase for some people! So whilst some of us were ducking and diving and avoiding the sniper shots others were just realising how good stars can actually be.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Wii U
Gamers for some time have been calling out for a sequel to the Gamecube launch title Luigi’s Mansion for some time – us included. We were excited to learn that at last years E3, we would be getting a follow up on the 3DS but according to Play.com, that is not all.
