Skyrim – Covers that give us Shivers!

We’ve been trawling Youtube the last couple of hours and we’ve found some videos that have gotten us tingly all over! The good kind of tingles that rise up your spine and electrify your skin…  Nothing guarantees to do that job better than some epic fantasy music and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was hardly […]

Review – El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

Ok it’s a 2011 release but who cares, we’ve fallen madly and deeply in love with the world of El Shaddai. With some of the most alluring and colourful visuals we’ve ever seen in a video game, is the game all just for show or is there more lingering beneath the beautiful exterior? Well there […]

We’ll Watch It So You Don’t Have To – Priest

Oh boy did we pick a film to watch or did we pick a film to watch! Now we here at the Arcade are never ones to shy away from a challenge but even we felt the pressure as the minutes and seconds dragged by while our mind tried to stay focused on this film […]

2012 – The Games We Can’t Wait For! Part II

In the first part of our look at some of the most highly anticipated games of 2012 we brought you everything from Tomb Raider to Metal Gear and we even threw in some Final Fantasy for good measure! Now in our second part we take a look at an MMORPG that looks set to turn […]

2012 – The Games We Can’t Wait For! Part I

Ok so we have no idea how the hell we’re going to get through the mountain of games from 2011 because we’ve already begun drooling over the upcoming releases for 2012. We’re taking a look at just ten of our favourites…but not in any sort of top ten countdown because going by these forthcoming titles…it […]

New Year! New You! New Us!

The New Year has been, the celebrations have been had and now we’ve got ourselves a whole 363 days left till we can start the whole thing over again and plenty of time to sort out those half-hearted Resolutions that we swore we’d get round to in 2011 but then STUFF happened so we forgot […]

Christmas TV…that’s not very Christmassy!

It’s no secret that Christmas television sucks more than regular television the only difference is that for the most part we all seem to spend the holidays in some sort of food induced coma unable to shift our engorged selves off the couch to find the remote! Even if we could our thumbs are too […]

Star Truce? Wars v. Trek

It has never been a secret that Trekkies and Jedi/Sith Lords didn’t get on, friends have fallen out, feuds have begun and more importantly merchandise has been unboxed! It seems it’s not possible to be a fan of both and while we at the arcade will always remain Neutral (like the Zone!) we’ve decided that […]

Christmas Games about…Christmas!

(This is exactly what Christmas is like in the arcade offices) When I thought up the idea of a Top 5 uses of Christmas in Video Games, I just assumed I would have an abundance of quality to choose from. Sure I could only think of three off the top of my head, but a […]

Sengoku Basara – Samurai Kings

It doesn’t have girls with super magical powers! It doesn’t have a thought provoking or bone chilling plot! Samurai Kings just fell into our lap and with a look of utter puzzlement we stuck it into the DVD player not exactly overly enthused that we had to watch something that doesn’t even have a spark […]
