April 22, 2009, 4 Comments on Guitar Hero Arcade "officially" lands in the UK with a release event on the 25th

The new Guitar Hero Arcade machine has been making the rounds in the US for a few weeks already (in fact every time I have been to my distributor lately, I have seen several going out the door) and now it’s England’s “official” turn to enjoy the same game. I say official as they »

Street Fighter IV invades London Arcades

April 2, 2009, No Comments on Street Fighter IV invades London Arcades

I finally got a chance to play SFIV the other day as my brother had purchased it for the Xbox 360. It was fun, especially when I beat Seth with Blanka on Hardest after a couple of tries. It certainly was a little awkward without an arcade stick but the game itself seemed to »

June 24, 2008, 4 Comments on Guitar Freaks v5 & DrumMania v5 hit arcades in Japan

  [Kotaku via IT] Good to see that Konami’s instrument games are still going strong. It’s just a shame we don’t get to see these games that much in the UK. I’d like to think I’d be half decent at them, seeings as I have been playing a lot of Rock Band the last few »
