This game is looking to shape up as a bit of a blockbuster. Oh, and yes. I'M BACK!!

I really wish I was getting paid per word to write this review because boy do I have a lot to say. It’s been a long while since I played a 45+ hour game and even longer since I managed to finish one in a week. Yes, I am a machine but not the type that will become self aware and bring on judgement day.

Just in case you didn't know, Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke ended their relationship this past week. I have had to break out the tissues on a few occasions to wipe the tears of sadness away.... because lets be honest, this is probably the most important and devastating news EVER! If you have been too busy playing Final Fantasy 13 you might not know of this tragedy. Luckily though you'll be able to read all about it at every credible “news” site, women's magazine and newspaper for the next few weeks, including the front page of today's The Sun-Herald. Oh, you might also notice The Sun-Heralds front page special investigation on video games too.

A Crack in Time concludes the Trilogy started with Tools of Destruction and continued in Quest for Booty (lol). Anna takes flight with the new R & C title and decides whether it keeps its place as one of the Playstation's favourite franchises, or whether it's lost its steam somewhere along the way.

This trailer had me in stitches for a bit. The final of the 10 new/old characters in Super Street Fighter IV has been revealed. Hakan, a Turkish wrestler, is all greased up and ready for a slippery fight. This clip has shots of every victim in Hakan's ultra combo. Hahaha ROFLCopter!

Turns out the zippo lights a cigarette. Hand holding it is somewhat important too.

Yug and Matt return to move you, thanks to Playstation, as well as discussions about GDC, Portal 2, and video games on the Mac

The guys behind the viral marketing for the Tron Legacy movie have sent out a really cool update at FlynnLives.com – it's a mini game about video games!

Like my twitter account, Monster Hunter may have a small following but it's got a big package underneath. Monster Hunter 3 Tri is the latest Japanese super fandom game that will be coming to our shores in the not too distant future.

Just the other day I was thinking about how much I wanted a blue ball on a stick to put in my right hand and wave at the TV and now BAM! Sony have made my dream come true. God bless you Sony, you've put a rainbow in my heart with your new controller that according to the press release is "unlike anything on the market".

Cav takes the time to point out the best bits of the Nintendo Wii and give you an insight to what he thinks you may be missing out on.

Cav goes old school with a prequel to a 13 year old game, one of his favourites, via the power of download. Is it as good as the original? Is the original as good as the original, or is it just nostalgia that makes it seem like it was so incredible? Take a look as Cav delves into the present of gaming, and his own dark past!

Only a few weeks ago Activision admitted they regret not buying Harmonix and giving them the Guitar Hero franchise. There is a good reason why Activision said this, it’s because Rock Band is freakin amazing. So I’m happy to hear that another one is on the way soon.

Are you lucky enough to own a 1995 Toyota Celica? Do you like applying stickers to things? Do you think that wheels should be painted white for maximum acceleration? Are you a 37 year old man living in the basement of a building wearing a turtleneck jumper? Then why not turn your video game dream into reality!

Yes our favourite Attorney General has been caught giving money away to a council that supports the notion that games are worse than cancer. Somebody needs a good smack on the you know what.

I'm sure everyone is having a great weekend so it's time to bring a downer to your good mood. Recently a baby passed away due to being starved. What were the parents doing? Raising a child in a virtual world.

Valve started playing with peoples heads a few days ago by sending out some mysterious updates to Portal via steam. The updates contained hidden messages, some speculated as to what this was could mean.... Valve has today confirmed Portal 2 on the way.

Matt and Cormac talk about Sony's Apocalyps3, the closure of the R18 submissions, Heavy Rain and the art of telling stories in games and backtrack a little on last week's discussion of the story of Half Life 2. Oh, and a gaming writer has the world's largest penis.

In anticipation for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII due out next week, EB Games has started a competition to find Australia’s biggest Final Fantasy fan. The only thing is, Australian Gamer already know who this is….

Some illumination on the upcoming sequel.
