TNB Latest News

Well, with another month comes another issue of the newest Aussie gaming ezine to hit the intarwebs. This issue, the Pixel Hunt team have worked super hard to bring you the best and most diverse range of gaming and geeky goodness you can find in one package anywhere. On the actual pages, you will find content filled to the brim, including:

• Feature: Fallout 3: We delve into Vault 101 and bring you our impressions on the game. Yes, we know it’s been banned, and now been re-instated with an edited version, but that all happened after we’d written the darn thing – so you can blimey well read it!

• Opinions: Tim Henderson looks at how snot-nosed kids always get their way; James O’Connor sets his sights on Funny Games, and Dylan Burns craps on again about the term ‘next-gen’ and how he hates it.

• News and Previews: We keep you up to date on the most pertinent news pieces relating to the industry, as well as have a look at how COD5 and Crysis Warhead are shaping up.

• Reviews: A veritable feast for the eyes. Seriously, there are so many reviews we all almost became crippled with arthritis from writing them. The list includes Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Battlefield: Bad Company, Crisis Core, Alone in the Dark, Race Driver: GRID, Kung Fu Panda – and even more than that! We can confidently predict that you’ll have enough to read.

• And other things. You know, words and stuff. They’re good.

So! Support Aussie writers and keep the zine alive by downloading the latest issue here. And who knows, you might even enjoy it.

Well, it’s finally been more than a year. After endless months of anticipation, more speculation than you can shake a stick at, endless false rumours and more than a heavy dose of fanboyism (not to mention skepticism), the “Revolution” as it was known has finally come and gone.

Now that the Wii’s a good 15 months (arguably a quarter of the average console’s life-cycle) into its tenure as Nintendo’s current-gen console, it seems a good a time as any to delve into the big question regarding any piece of experimental new hardware… was it worth it? Continue reading..
