I've never been able to get my name to change from "Unverified" even though I've tried and it tells me which username I'm signed in as. I'll be happy to finally be able to log in with my Gmail. Although, there are benefits to being anonymous sometimes...hehehehe

277 GAME stores shuttered, 40% of workforce let go, gift cards suspended

No pre-orders or reward points? That was the best thing about GAME. Well I won't be shopping with them ever again even if they DID have games to sell.

Report: UK retailer Game is for sale

I hope GameStop buy them up. It would be a shame to see a chain dedicated to just video games disappear from the UK. Still need to spend my reward points though. Nothing is left to spend them on.

Recently revealed Vita games already cancelled (good thing they were fake!) [update]

Once again Sony decide that spin-offs of old PS2 games are the way to go. Why not produce a brand new GTA title for portable instead of yet another Vice City spin-off?

GAME also not stocking Street Fighter X Tekken, Asura's Wrath

GAME are finished. I'd say they won't last until the end of the financial year, so basically the end of the month. It's a real shame because GAME were amazing on pre-orders in the past. Once I realised they often shipped a game to me and it arrives on a Thursday, the day before release, I never bought anywhere else even if they cost a little more. Throw in free delivery with that, as well as double reward points for pre-orders, AND most of the pre-order bonus offers for UK releases and they were the best around, no question.

Lately they've let their standards slip, games not arriving as fast as they used to and prices on the rise. Then they had to go and change their website to the horrible one they have now, messing up a bunch of my pre-orders in the process. I've racked up so many reward points with them over the years, luckily I used a huge chunk of them on the 3DS launch last year. Now I have £60 worth of points left over but I doubt they'll have any new products for me to spend them on. I've already moved all my pre-orders elsewhere as I try to find which site is a good alternative.

R.I.P. GAME. Let's hope they have an extra life or a continue left over and let GameStop buy up their stores.

@Nergy They're still taking pre-orders without knowing for sure they will be able to secure stock of the game. You won't know until a week before the release when they hit you with an email to say they've had to cancel your order.

Pokemon Black and White 2 announced, hits Japanese DSes this June

Feb 25th 2012 7:58PM (Joystiq)
I haven't played Pokemon since the GB Colour days. I was planning to buy the "enhanced" version of Black and White, so I could try to catch them all without bothering with all the trading and such. Looks like I'll have to wait still before I play it again. Should have just released them on 3DS though...but I guess the first NEW 3DS Pokemon will take full advantage of the features and won't just be a sequel.

New Xenoblade Chronicles trailer shows off combat and menus

This trailer makes me want to play the game all over again. It's epic in every sense of the word. I'm glad that the US will finally be able to enjoy it.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 details sneak out via XBLM listing

Feb 15th 2012 12:31PM (Joystiq)
The levels still look quite similar to previous Sonic games, except the mine cart one. The underwater level looks like it will just be another Aquatic Ruin Zone.

Judge Xenoblade Chronicles by its (inside) cover

Feb 7th 2012 8:08AM (Joystiq)
We had the 2nd from bottom in the Europe release inside cover. As far as I'm aware we only had three to vote for, the top one I've never seen before.
