Amped.. Like the hullabaloo of a thousand and one flightless birds trying to get airborne, 2012 has arrived, poked around and started moving along at a fair lick of speed. Welcome to the February issue of NAG magazine and in reality our first prop... Read more

Lollipop Chainsaw
Just when you thought slaying the undead wasn’t quite sexy and/or provocative enough, in walks Juliet and her pompoms made of zombieslaying win...


Top 11 list of “Just a list”.
Xbox LIVE Arcade is a veritable goldmine for prospective indie connoisseurs. For those not brave enough to wade through the muck in order to find the precious gems, we’ve got a list of 11 XBLA games that made us smile, that made us cry, that made us thankful for the creative minds of their respective developers...


Dude, where’s my Half-Life 2: Episode Three?
Seriously, where the hell is it...


Need for Speed: The Run
The more Need for Speed changes, the more I wish it’d just stay the same. It seems that every new game in the series has to have its “something special”...


Anno 2070
Unless you’re some sort of funhating monster, it’s easy to enjoy the Anno series. Like its nearest rival in the 4X sub-genre, The Settlers, the Anno series has had its ups and downs, but currently seems to be stronger than ever...

Reviews: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The Wii Problem: In an alternate reality, Skyward Sword would represent merely the latest in a long series of triple-A quality motion control epics.


Reviews: Saints Row: The Third
When the Third Street Saints rose to the top of their game (robbery, murder, mayhem, etc.), they relished in their success.


Reviews:The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
While Frodo and his gang of merry fellows took the arduous journey to Mount Doom to cast The One Ring into the fires that forged it and thus stop the evil plans of the dark lord Sauron (whoops, spoiler alert), who do you think was on the other side of Middle-Earth, battling monsters and keeping the rest of Sauron’s army of Uruk-hai, goblins, trolls, giants and other nasties at bay?


Reviews: Trine 2
There are very few games that I’d readily call “beautiful”, and even fewer still that I’d nominate as the most beautiful game of its time. Actually, there’s only one game that I’d dare name as such, and that’s Trine 2.


Reviews: WWE ‘12
The tag-team of THQ and Yuke’s has been releasing wrestling games under the WWE brand for well over a decade now (of course, it was still known as the WWF when they started) and their annual Smackdown!


Previews: Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
It’s been nearly six years since Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. Retaining the series’ trademark cartoon style and stealthy platform gameplay, Thieves in Time is sneaking into some interesting new territory: time-travel.


Previews: SSX
Critically acclaimed, SSX 3 was released in 2003 and is estimated to have sold over five million copies. That’s as much as Gears of War 3, Grand Theft Auto IV and Battlefield 3.


Reviews:Blackwater / Michael Phelps: Push the Limit
The idea of an FPS using Kinect controls has some solid appeal to it. The idea could result in a truly great game.


Reviews: Go Vacation
We’re not sure if it has to do with attention spans or whatever, but there seem to be more mini-game collections on the Wii than any other console.


Hardware:Patriot Pyro SE 240GB SSD
Patriot isn’t new to the SSD market. They’ve produced some notable drives in the past, mainly the Torqx series in the early SSD days and more recently, the WildFire drives which offer phenomenal performance.
