GRAN TURISMO 5 IS OUT, APPARENTLY

One of these games is massively out of date, has subpar graphics and a relentless tunnel-vision focus on one goal…

For best results, look at this picture while listening to Magical Sound Shower.

Do people actually play the GT games for FUN???

…the other is Outrun.

SONIC 2 3D

A man that calls himself Eyspire and has plenty of time on his hands did this:

That’s it. Feel free to commend/mock his talent in the comments section

MICROSOFT’S DODGY-SOUNDING COMMERCIAL

Here’s an unfortunate juxtaposition of text and images. This was found on a flash advert for Kinect on the front page of Youtube while I was looking for SID chip music.

It's easier to let go...

"...when there's nothing to hold on to." 

Does anyone in the Microsoft marketing department even READ this shit before it gets approved?

WHY GAMING’S GONE TO SHIT

Case file No.1

Michael Jackson – The Experience:

The only thing I’m experiencing right now is sadness, contempt and despair

Ubisoft only need seven idiots to buy this before it turns a profit and spawns the inevitable spin off title:

JEDWARD PROMOTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY HORROR

As we already know hateful fuck-knuckles John and Edward are promoting Nintendo’s DSi, in particular some crappy-looking JRPG. I had to taint my computer by going to the Daily Mail website for these:

Jedward posable action figures! With fisting action!

John and Edward, looking like twats.

"We love these iPads! They're brilliant!"

John and Edward, looking like twats. Again.

Oh god I can't go on anymore :(

“A MURAL OF MARGARET THATCHER ADORNS ONE WALL IN AN 80S-ERA LOUNGE BAR”

Some kids got a bit confused about their decades and ironic references.

OPENING PREAMBLE
“There’s a new nightclub built around the general theme of Margaret Thatcher apparently, which is like building a theme park around the concept of getting to the till in the supermarket and realising you need to go get cash out of the machine, and having to walk back after your withdrawal to an impatient till line giving you the stinkeye.

“As you might expect from a nightclub modeled on Maggie, it features rudimentary graffiti drawings of Mr. T, who few realise was a fairly marginal Tory backbencher under the reign of the Iron Lady.

“The walls are also decorated with other our most beloved pop culture icons, such as the sensational William Hague and a particularly striking mural of the glitzy and glamorous Enoch Powell to help set the scene for a night of hedonistic delights. But the real belle of the ball is a hedgehog you know all too well! No, it’s not the one that turns up in your garden sometimes making revolting sex grunts and shitting itself when the motion light comes on, it’s Sonic, so don’t go leaving out a plate of milk and bread for him. I think they chose Sonic to epitomise the 80s, clearly overlooking the fact that Sonic first appeared in 1991 alongside an incumbent John Major. Anyway, I read it in the Guardian, on my Kindle, whilst tastefully sipping a fairtrade cappucino and listening to the new Paolo Nutini album on my iPod Touch in the business lounge of the Eurostar. I was wearing cream chinos” – Weatherbox.

YOU DEMANDED IT, IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT:

I’m sorry. So very sorry…….

There’s one positive to take from all this. At least Sega went tits up  before they ever stooped this low.

Here’s the Cyber Razor Cut advert to restore balance to the world:

Take that Nintendo. Although, to be fair, Nintendo did hire Rik Mayall in the SNES days when all Sega could afford was Spudgun from Bottom.

SONIC, YOU LITTLE TRAITOR

Sonic has had a long history of taking one step forward and two steps back. For every Sonic Rush there is a Sonic Unleashed (or even, god forbid, Sonic Unleashed Mobile).

And now, not long after at least making a move in the right direction, the little shit jumps on the Kinect bandwagon with Sonic Free Riders.

Wooo! Radical dood!

Look at him, dressed up like a sloaney twat on a ski slope in the Alps. And since when has Sonic needed a hoverboard? IGN gave it 7.5/10, so it’s obviously crap.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE PSP2 LEAKED PICTURES!!!

WORLD EXCLUSIVE!!!

You saw it here first folks. Brand new leaked pictures from someone’s mate’s dad, whose missus works at a Sony Centre!

WORLD EXCLUSIVE!!!

What we know:

It’s 3D, because they’re serious about forcing this kind of novelty onto consumers.

It’s HD because it makes it sound better.

It’s got one of those touch screens that don’t work properly for games, but are all the rage these days.

It’s got 5 analogue sticks because this is the only thing Sony can think to innovate on.

There’s no headphone socket because it’s got FOUR speakers to allow you BLAST OUT Tinchy Stryder at FULL WHACK. It’s more than loud enough to entertain everyone else who’s also on the train/bus/tram.

It’s got another seventeen buttons round the back (not pictured) and loads of other things that they’ve copied off someone else.

It’ll be released around Christmas time next year, when people have plenty of money to shell out on rubbish.

It will be AT LEAST THREE HUNDRED NOTES!

Gran Turismo 6 is DEFINITELY a launch title.
