[XBOX] V8 Supercars Australia 2 has Arrived!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Welcome back to yet another addition to my XBOX collection, and here I have V8 Supercars Australia 2. Right from the get go this is Race Driver or TOCA Race Driver as it's known in the UK, the title change was just a quick cash grab from the Australian gamers and an excuse to gain more popularity. I guess it must of sold well enough for 3 of these titles to come out, the new instalments of the series didn't make sense as they branched off into F1 and Rally I think... What!? They still carried the V8 Supercars title I tell you not.

In terms of gameplay it's pretty good, around the 128-bit generation Codemasters were fantastic at racing games, great attention to detail and what not, a great example would be Colin Mcrae Rally 3. With today's power of our systems, the detail only gets more involved, which we were shown in DiRT 2. Anyway I'm getting off-track here... I much rather prefer the V8 Supercars than 2, for reason that it stuck to the Supercars and not just a title swap oh and cover art like this one was. Other things were missing too, but I just can't quite tell...

In terms of condition, it's well looked after! Manual looks untouched and DVD is spotless. I could say the same thing for the case as well.

More games to come during the week, see you there!

Resident Evil Revelations Release Dates AU and NA

Hi gamers!

Many gamers in Australia have to wait the longest for game to come out in our stores, how ever Resident Evil fans in Australia will be happy to hear it will be released here first on February 2nd followed by North America at the 7th.
I happen to play the demo of it yesterday and I really enjoyed it, the use of the 3D effect is pretty good in the game options you can increase the effect of the depth even more than the 3D Slider will allow. There is no way I could possibly play a whole chapter in strong 3D though..

I'd just thought I share that, I'm really looking forward to this game and just can't wait for it!

Nintendo Wii U expected Price has been suggested!

Hi gamers!

It's already time to start pre-ordering Nintendo's eighth generation console, the Wii U. EB Games has listed the console to be priced at originally AU$699, but has now changed it to AU$598. As they do mention it's TBC 2012, it's been rumoured that the Wii U will be in stores after March 2012.

This is somewhat expensive for a Nintendo console, but it will have the power for 1080p, this is a first for Nintendo. Nintendo's game designer Shigeru Miyamoto has said "lack of HD and limited network infrastructure for the Wii also contributed to the system being regarded in a separate class to its competitors' systems" So with that being said the Wii U will be able to shape into the market as it progresses so to speak. This might have something to do with the price, but who knows.

It's early to start considering a pre-order has EB has gotten the price wrong once, and it maybe wrong again. It's incredibly expensive for Nintendo as I said earlier, it does however have much *better* technology inside it but it's still a lot for the big N!

As a Nintendo fan, I will be getting the console on launch as I did with the Nintendo Wii. It did nonetheless go unplayed for a year. I don't think I've learn't my lesson so to speak.
