Game Over For UK Retailer GAME?

Today, customers of Game and Gamestation who have pre-ordered their copies of Mass Effect 3, were told that Game, the company, would be unable to fulfil their pre-orders, this being, the first and one of the truly big releases this year, it's going to hit Game pretty hard.

As Game were pretty much the only seller of the Mass Effect 3 collectors edition, these copies that were revoked are now available to buy from;
Zavvi.co.uk
Amazon.co.uk
Play.com
Shopto.net

However, this does not just apply to Mass Effect 3, but maybe even ALL EA games released after SSX, and EA owns more than pretty big titles,  with the likes of Battlefield, and their renowned sports games such as FIFA.

Game are refunding any deposits and giving £5 gift vouchers out of goodwill to customers whose copies were cancelled.

Needless to say, I'm feel very sorry for Game, a company already in financial issues being abandoned by a publisher like EA, bad times are ahead, I hope somehow they do pull through however, being pretty much the only widespread retail game shop in the UK.

However Game is not alone, HMV is also slowly dying, as people no longer buy music on discs as much as they used to, they are now downloaded digitally, and lets be honest, most of the time, illegally.
And this is similar to game as people purchase their copies on sites such as Play and Amazon.

Is it GAME over? We'll have to wait and see

Black Ops Rezzurection Map Pack Announced

The fourth, and most likely final map pack for call of duty black ops has recently been announced, and this time, they're going all out zombies, bringing the four classic maps from world at war (Which I, myself would consider the best) for the people who did not buy hardened or prestige.

The new map pack will also contain a new map entitled 'Moon', which suprisingly, is set on the moon. This should be very interesting to see!

LA Noire First Impressions

All I can say is wow.

Although the game starts of fairly slow, pace does pick up fast once you are past the tutorial cases and you are free to carry out cases at your own will, It's not a fast paced game at all, it requires thinking, and thats what I like, It's similar to the Phoenix Wright series, you need to be able to detect contradictions, lies and truths.
  
   Team Bondi and Rockstar have made an unusual approach, using a new way to record facial animation, many cameras are used around an actors face to produce an exact replica in the game world, you're use of psychology is put to the test as you watch carefully peoples reactions to your questions to detect if they are lying - just like in real interrogations.

   It's definitely a unique game, do not be mistaken by comparing it to Grand Theft Auto or the recent 'Red Dead Redemption, there is shooting in the game, but it does not occur often (And you can't massacre people on the streets!)

I love it so far, and I can't wait to get back to it!

Eurogamer Expo 2011

All the huge gaming and technology expo's, E3, Comic Con, PAX, CES. What's the trend here? They are all in the US, and I and many people like me who live in the UK have no chance of getting to ANY of these.

But, hope is not lost as we DO have Eurogamer! Although it is not as globally known as prestigious expo's such as E3, were Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony battle it out to have the best conference, Eurogamer still gives you a chance to play some upcoming games that aren't released (Including Battlefield 3!!!), go to some conferences or get some advice on careers in the gaming industry while still being able to stay in the UK!

Eurogamer 2011 takes place in London Earls Court between the 22nd - 25th of September and it's going to be awesome (My first gaming expo)

I Plan to post some videos documenting me and my friend's day and, hopefully we can get press passes!
