Posted by Clint in Media, PS3, PS3BlogCast, Talk on May 30th, 2012
It’s the week before E3 and I know you’re all excited to see what announcements are made. I know I am. Unfortunately I won’t be there (hopefully next year) and it turns out FooBear won’t be able to make it either (sorry loyal minions) but we will still have a few people from the site attending.
We have a good chunk of news to talk about and Isli is here to join us. Hope you all enjoy this weeks podcast and let’s hope next week delivers some great gaming news!

[PS3 Review] Syndicate
Posted by Trev in Featured, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, Syndicate on May 30th, 2012
Syndicate is a reboot that nobody seems to have asked for, especially not one that completely changes the genre from an isometric tactical game to first person shooter, rendering it beyond recognisable. Sure, we miss it and would probably welcome an HD remake, but making it virtually incomparable with its former entries? That’s akin to EA digging up your late gran and slapping in a bionic eye and an arm that turns into a tea stirrer so she can make you a cuppa just like you remembered. But is this reboot an improved and welcome revisit or does it add too much milk and not enough sugar? Here’s our review to find out.
[minis Giveaway] Velocity
First, we’ll start off by apologizing about the lateness of this giveaway, as we meant to have it up after EdEN had posted his review. Honestly, I had no idea we were giving any codes away, or I would have done this earlier! Anyway, we have a total of 10 codes to give away! These include 7 US codes and 3 EU codes. When we get the winners the codes, we’ll first ask what region you want the code for, but since we can’t guarantee that we’ll have 3 EU winners and 7 US winners, it will be first come, first serve.
With that said, each raffle ticket (save for the social media entries) will only cost 75 points, given that this is a minis title. You can ‘purchase’ up to 4 tickets. The giveaway will run until June 10th, so there’s plenty of time to get your entries in. Just don’t procrastinate! You might forget!
