New shots of The Conduit

a sci-fi based first person shooter for (low and behold) the Wii. That's right, a developer finally twigged that the Wii controls actually work for a FPS. Although it's been noted it wont be using the upcoming Wii motion-plus. But if it works like metroid prime 3 did then we'll be laughing

More proof Ninty don't give a toss about the west



You may think it's brilliant over in Japan. They get all the games before us mugs in Europe, sometimes software that'll never see the light of day over here and they go around molesting girls on trains willy nilly. While we wait upon nintendo to even regestre our existance over here in Blighty. Well that ideal takes another step towards truth as in Japan some elementary and middle schools in Osaka Japan are handing out free DS' to students to aid with their learning. The Osaka education board made using the DS as part of school laerning in January with software such as Brain Age and My Japanese Coach.
Where as over here, nintedo have just added twenty pounds on the price of a Wii to retailers so a Wii price hike may be on the cards so dixons and the like don't lose out on pocket.
Thanks Nintendo!

What shithead put water in my gin glass!

We at PG are much looking forward to Madworld on the Wii. And not just because it looks amazing and is brought to us by a top team of developers (who were part of making Resident Evil and Okami) but mainly because it's a new Wii title that isn't mini-game complilation number 246. So leading up to it's release, why not laugh at how rubbish the two blokes are out of the deathwatch segements by viewing their outtakes



and if you still can't wait then amuse yourself with the madworld mini-games off the site; www.madworldtv.co.uk/minigames

Virtual On coming to xbox live arcade




"Available for the first time on Xbox LIVE, Virtual On features high-octane mech action with 15 playable Virtuaroids. Players can choose how they want to play as each mech has its own defining characteristics. The game delivers an online 1 vs. 1 multiplayer battle mode, as well as fast-paced single player action through 10 Arcade-mode levels and 14 Score attack stages. Virtual On features numerous ways to earn achievements as well as voice communication."




Coming this spring time. Virtual On was one of the Saturn's (and to another extent the Dreamcast's) lost cult gems. This should certianly be more playable with the 360's dual sticks

Jonathan Ross lets slip about Fable 3




After presenting an award at the still pointless videogame BAFTAs Wossy posted on his twitter account;


"Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight. Subarashi. Oyasuminasia. Woss out."




He also later let slip that tv critic and host of Screenwipe, Charlie Brooker would also be providing a voice over.
