ToeJam & Earl – I’m still excited.
So what's the best day of the year? Christmas Day? Halloween? August 11, feast day of Clare of Assisi, the patron saint of television? No, it's November 7th, because that's when ToeJam & Earl hits PSN and XBLA. Okay, that's only the best day of this year. Normally it's Halloween.
Hell Yeah is out tomorrow. (And it’s amazing.)
This isn't a review, because there frankly aren't enough stars in the world. Think of it as a heads-up, instead: Arkedo Studio's latest game hits the download services tomorrow, and it's their best yet.
Walking Dead and the terror of choice
What is the most horrifying element of Telltale Games' zombie adventure Walking Dead? Is it the undead monsters? Is it the feral survivors? Or is it having to make decisions in a game world without moral guidance or culpability? Ah yes, that one.

Jet Set Radio and the great gaming re-release robbery
Video game re-releases leave a lot to be desired.

Okami HD – it’s on the way, so how about a story?
Okami HD has been announced! It's headed to PSN on the PS3 this Autumn, apparently, and we're going to cover it even though it's going to clock in at £15.99. Why not, eh? Mental.

E3 2012: Moonlighters – Grandia meets the heist movie
