  Yass, my hometown in the news again. At least it's not Wet Wet Wet related. Reply +16

  @Po1ymorph That was why I was waiting on EG's one, I saw the usual suspects' unsurprising scores but I prefer the meat of EG's reviews. Reply +3

  I think Betteridge's Law of Headlines is applicable here. Reply +3

  Can also be played on iPhone 3GS by the way, albeit not quite as smoothly as on newer models. Reply +4

• Football Manager 2012 Review: PC vs. Handheld

• CivilD 09/12/2011

  I played the last two iOS entries to death and have just embarked on a new 2012 career. For me. Sticking the game engine on Commentary Only and cranking it up to Very Fast speed gives the maximum enjoyment and makes it feel like playing CM Italia on the Amiga again.
  
  Hopefully I can recreate the glorious quintuple with Annan Athletic within 15 seasons again... Reply +2

• Super Mario 3D Land is fastest selling portable Mario ever

• CivilD 28/11/2011

  @PinktotheLast it is better than Galaxy 2 in terms of sheer fun. I felt compelled to play it constantly almost like a great book you can't put down. I can see myself playing it long after I've collected every star coin (already done) and gold flag. Reply 0

  Super Mario 3D Land is amazing. I don't think I've enjoyed a Mario game as much as this since Yoshi's Island. Reply +12

• Game to sell Blu-ray films and music

• CivilD 12/09/2011

  I'm pretty sure game sold DVDs when I worked there - distinctly remember the Star Wars box set launch. They've been selling pre-owner blu-ray for ages as well haven't they? Reply +9

  Apparently the US version will have it. Definitely importing if that's the case. Reply +5

  I saw the Treasure Island Dizzy screenshot on the front page and had an instant nostalgia trip. Don't think I ever found the last coin! Reply +6

• New Xbox forums get off to rocky start

• CivilD 13/05/2011

  I logged in, and stared at the front page for a full minute trying to figure out how to even see a list of threads. The design of the front page is atrocious. Reply +3

• Nintendo 3DS black screen error revealed

• CivilD 28/03/2011

  I got this yesterday: http://i.imgur.com/UU2pT.jpg I held the power button in as it said, after the screens went off it took another 10-15 seconds for the lights to go off.
  
  I had it on since I got it (Thursday afternoon) so i guessed it was because it had been on constantly since then. Hasn't happened since.
  
  Edit: This was while playing Pilotwings. Reply 0

  My guess for the media type is some sort of variation on their Memory Stick Pro Duo media, i.e. flash memory on a proprietary interface. Reply +1

  If it's anything above £199.99, they will struggle to sell it, no question. Reply 0
