Bang, you're dead

As far as we’re concerned, sniper rifles have always been the most satisfying weapons in games. There’s something rewarding and morally profound about picking off an unsuspecting target from long-range distance, and the original Sniper Elite on PS2 captured that sentiment spectacularly. Since Rebellion’s original stealth...

Pull the trigger

Publisher 505 Games has confirmed that it will release a demo for Rebellion’s upcoming Sniper Elite V2. The short sampler will launch at some point this month ahead of the game’s full release in May. It’s unclear what the demo will include, but we’re expecting a mission or two from the final game. Remember, if you pre-order...

End this hellish war

It’s telling that the most interesting thing about Sniper Elite V2 is its pre-order bonus, but, having said that, killing flippin' Hitler is a pretty big selling-point after all. The additional mission’s up for grabs now for all those who register interest in Rebellion’s sequel ahead of its 4th May release. Just please,...

Reich for the stars

Rebellion’s hoping the draw of rewriting history will be enough to get you to register your interest Sniper Elite V2 before release. Anyone that pre-orders a copy of the 505 Games published title will get to put a bullet in the noggin of one of the world’s greatest dictators: Adolf Hitler. The bonus level – named...

The Zumba train continues to do what it does best in this week's British sales charts

That's right, Zumba Fitness has made it thirteen weeks at the top of the UK sales charts. We sense the game's time is up this week though, with the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution teetering on the horizon. Elsewhere, it's pretty much as you were. Hit the jump for the full top-ten. Zumba Fitness (505..

We're starting to wonder if any game will ever dethrone Zumba Fitness

Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Maybe. Resistance 3? Possibly. Dead Island? We hope so. It has to happen at some point, right? This is Zumba Fitness' ninth week at the top of the UK sales charts. It's outrageous. Catch the full top-ten after the hop. There's nothing to talk about, because no games are being released. Welcome to the..

Yes, Zumba Fitness is still number one

No, no new games have been released. Sunglasses. Deal with it. Zumba Fitness (505 Games) DiRT 3 (Codemasters) Cars 2 (Disney Interactive) Just Dance 2: Extra Songs (Ubisoft) LEGO: Pirates Of The Caribbean (Disney Interactive) FIFA 11 (EA Games) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two (EA Games) LEGO: Harry Potter - Years 1-4 (Warner Bros) L.A. Noire..

Perhaps the bigger story here is that there's a rugby game coming out

Developed by HB Studios and published by 505 Games, Rugby World Cup 2011 is due out at the end of the month. But those eager to learn how the sport of rugby can possibly translate to video games will find a demo on the PlayStation Network tomorrow. The demo features England and South Africa and is set in Auckland. Intriguing.

505 Games has released a new trailer attempting to prove why its upcoming Supremacy MMA is the "dirtiest MMA game yet"

We think the subtle use of classical music adds to the effect. The visuals aren't great, but the game certainly looks gnarly.</em>

To be fair -- not much else launched in the UK last week to challenge Zumba Fitness' unbeatable reign

There was movement elsewhere however. Cars 2 climbed into second, while Call Of Juarez: The Cartel sticked to the top three. Elsewhere there's really not much else to say: regular favourites DiRT 3, FIFA 11 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops all charted. Someone topple Zumba Fitness, please. Zumba..

Will it be MMAssive?

Vita's getting its first taste of blood with Supremacy MMA later this year. The arcade-styled take on mixed martial arts will reach Vita in time for Christmas, complete with its female fighters and speedy gameplay. The announcement doesn't mention whether the game will make use of Vita's unique features, but stay tuned for more...

It's been a bizarre day for handheld systems

The Internet seems to have replaced all its goodwill for the PlayStation Vita — born out of an excellent E3 showing and fantastic price-point — for trepidation and concerns. The main take-away, as far as we understand it, is that the pressure is back on Sony now Nintendo's decided to dramatically drop the price of its Nintendo 3DS due to some..

Shake and shimmy with Sandy

The inexplicably popular musical Grease is coming to PlayStation Move later this year, with UK publisher 505 Games planning to unleash it on the Christmas crowds on 4th November. Last year the game released on Nintendo Wii to less than glowing reviews, but earlier this year 505 promised an improved Grease for Sony's...

Pretty neat for Tom Cruise fans this

Sony has revealed a couple of Blu-ray movie/video game hybrids for Top Gun and Nascar: Days Of Thunder. Each of the packs — published by 505 Games — include a copy of the movie and its respective game. It's the first time either of these games have received retail releases, as they were previously only available through the PlayStation Network. The sets are..

505 Games has announced that it will publish Sniper Elite V2 on the PlayStation 3 next year

The game is being developed by Rebellion. “It’s very exciting to be working with one of the new breed of major publishers like 505 Games,” said Rebellion CEO, Jason Kingsley. “Sniper Elite was an important, genre-defining property and we’re hoping to have even greater success by teaming up with the..

Tell us about it, stud

Last year's Grease: The Game took the beloved musical and turned it into a party game for Wii, when what we all really wanted was to get up to sing and jive as Danny Zuko, Sandy, Rizzo and the rest of the Rydell High gang. Later this year we'll finally be able to make all those dreams come true with the announcement that...

A real mixed bag

Whether you want to burn off the Christmas turkey in Zumba Fitness or bowl a turkey in Brunswick Pro Bowling, you'll be able to do both from February as 505 Games announces European release dates for both titles. Or release date, rather: both games will launch on February 4th in the UK, and both will support the PlayStation Move...

We'd almost forgotten about Naughty Bear

While we loved the game's concept, we found the reality of its gameplay sorely lacking. Sadly, we weren't the only ones drawn in by that initial batch of comical trailers. Plenty of you bought the game, and we suppose some of you want a bit more. Thankfully, A2M and 505 Games are going the right way about it. Nobody is going to pay for more Naughty Bear..

505 Games are one of the newer publishers on the block

They've already dropped Naughty Bear on us. And now they've announced Deep Black, a game from Russian studio Biart Games. It's basically an underwater third-person shooter, in which you'll use specialised equipment (harpoons!) to take out a bunch of underwater threats. Neat concept. Expect to hear more about this over the coming months.
