Top 5 Best & Worst Star Wars Videogames - I really enjoyed the Episode 1 pod racer game, but it isn’t on the list at all; however I also burned a vast amount of hours in the SNES classic Super Star Wars. thankfully that’s in the good games section
Europe Totally F****d Over On Rock Band Pricing That’s right. Rock Band is coming out, and it’s going to be double the price of the US version. In other news, I won’t be buying Rock Band when it’s released in the UK.
Some competition craziness this week. Eegra have announced The 1st Annual Game Makin’ Shindig, and the Jayisgames 5th flash game competition has ended and the winners been announced.
The BBC iPlayer is coming to the Wii - I think that’s great news!
