VIDEO GAME WORLD CUP STICKERBOOK – rodent style

In the spirit of the old rodent and its possible re-emergence, we are proud to bring you the updated and not-very-similar-to-4-years-ago-honest, RODENT WORLD CUP sticker album. be warned, it’s a challenging bugger, some of the stickers are right tricky to get. They *are* all available though, so don’t lose faith as you refresh your way [...]

Get used to the glow of the phone luv…..

SEGA, those pesky yet lovable scamps – they tried something new yesterday. Announce a game for the first time and then release 24 hours later. All very nice, all very clever. Problem is, the game in question was Football Manager. On your PHONE. That’s right, FMH2010 (or Football Manager Handheld 2010 to give it’s full [...]

Rodent Awards 2009 – “so that’s what the last 7 posts were about!”

It’s that time of year again people, the wonderful time of year where we all get together, talk a bit about games and have a wee bit of a drink. Bloody marvellous. We might even manage to get the actual awards part organised before tomorrow night, you never know. So let’s do it, what are [...]

The Inside Story On… Squid Yes, Not So Octopus (Xbox 360)

Out on Xbox Live Arcade this week is the fantastic arena-shooter Squid Yes, Not So Octupus: Squid Harder (SYNSO). You might have missed it, maybe instead you’re focused elsewhere today and keen to spunk a million English pounds on Modern Warfare 2? Frankly, you’d be right to do so BUT! Do also spare a measly 80 [...]

Games Go All Futurish

Something very odd has happened – the future seems to have slipped-in not through videogaming but via a weirdly controlled indoor leaf-blower. It’s called Mindflex and it’s a mini-jungle gym you control with thought. Yes. That’s ‘thought’. First the table-top, soon our consoles. At least if Uno and Carcassone are anything to go by. They [...]

Batman Arkham Asylum

It has been a while since we reviewed any games around these parts. So long in fact, we’re not sure we’ve still got it in us. We used to bash them out in our prime, but now we just sit around and talk about the days when we had time to play them. Sometimes we actually [...]

Paper Arcade: Donkey Kong

Steve Wiebe, let’s see you get your record back on this bugger (you can do it, ra ra ra and all that)…..For the rest of us, Donkey Kong people!!! Click the image for full size.

Wayoftherodent. You’ve heard of it right? course you have…

Ah, April 2008. What a great month. Why was it so great? Erm……stuff happened right? Fuck knows, I barely remember yesterday to be honest. Ah yes that’s right it was the last time we produced a magazine for wayoftherodent, that’s what it was (I knew all along, I was just leading you on. What a [...]

Why I Love: New Zealand Story

Another trip down to the archives for us, this time all the way back to issue #53 to Swith’s lovely little WIL on a much loved classic. What, the lack of link not good enough? Ok – you want a tenuous link you got one sister. England’s women yesterday won the 20/20 Cricket world cup [...]

Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island.

Way of the Rodent forumite and resident OCD gamer moobaa has been enjoying Criterion’s latest addition to Paradise City. Oh yes. For me, the big (bigbigbig) news this week was the release of Burnout Paradise’s Big Surf Island. Now, I don’t mind admitting I was like a little schoolgirl just prior to its release: giggling [...]
