Aliens Vs Predator – More editions, more details

Aliens Vs Predator – More editions, more details

For die hard collectors only, the upcoming Aliens Vs Predator comes in not one, but three editions.  Standard, Hunter, and Survivor.  Magpie recently covered the contents of the Hunter edition here and it can be snagged in the UK from HMV for £59.99.
The survivor edition however, currently listed on GAME/Gameplay contains a little less and [...]

Aliens Vs Predator – Hunter Edition

Aliens Vs Predator – Hunter Edition

Of all the games that could and should have a special edition version, Aliens Vs Predator is the one.  Due for release in February 2010 and coming with a no doubt pretty price tag, the AVP: Hunter Edition will have Facehugger fans rushing to the shops, though PC users may be out of luck because [...]

Rocky Road and Flamingo Abuse

Rocky Road and Flamingo Abuse

After exploring the initial rock discovery location with Renna, we collected several more uncut specimens which I sent away for analysis and cutting.  In total we scooped three blue Tanzanites and one yellow diamond – the valuation was adequate and they were promptly sold.  The money will be used to shore up our perilous finances while [...]

Bioshock 2: Special Edition

Bioshock 2: Special Edition

Judging by the official pictures, the Bioshock 2: Special Edition certainly has some darkly divine packaging which features some stylish artwork on the slipcase and cover and looks much sexier than the ‘cutaway’ box released for the first game.  Rather than just bunging an action figure into a flimsy box, it seems that 2K Games [...]

Bayonetta Update…

Bayonetta Update…

As an update to the last Magpie article on the Bayonetta Collector’s Sets and goodies, it is now confirmed that Gameplay.co.uk and game.co.uk are offering the desireable Scarborough Fair pistol and stand as a pre-order bonus item with both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game.  As far as Sketchstone.com is aware, these are currently [...]

Bayonetta Climaxes

Bayonetta Climaxes

With many of the year’s most anticipated titles being shoved unceremoniously back into 2010, word on special editions has been scant up until recently when Bayonetta opened up a pre-order salvo with a collector’s edition to turn heads.  There is, however, a catch.  As usual, different territories end up playing the lottery game, with one [...]

Research and results!

Research and results!

After spending a significant amount of hours at the library studying the history of this tediously saccharine town and pouring over old records and plans at City Hall, I have made some interesting discoveries.  The town in all its gruesome sweetness sits atop several rich seams of minerals and precious metals, and while all workings [...]

Rocky solution to the house problem?

Rocky solution to the house problem?

Having existed a mere handful of days in this grotty-little-nothing hole of a house and gazing wistfully at the construction plans for our home to be, my thoughts are constantly turning to our financial predicament.  Having grudgingly accepted employment on the disgustingly lowly rungs of the criminal ladder, I am only bringing in a small [...]

Devon’s Evil Construction Scrapbook…

Devon’s Evil Construction Scrapbook…

After some procrastination and much distraction by the devilishly sexy Renna, I have decided that my Devon’s Evil Construction Scrapbook (DECS for short), shall chart the progress (or lack thereof) of my new construction plans, in between the daily grind of life (and death – accidental of course).  I may have to consider changing the [...]

First house, kiss, and everything else

First house, kiss, and everything else

After arriving at the only dowdy house that our joint finances could actually stretch to, I finally got a chance to speak to my housemate to be. Her name is Renna and I found her perfectly alluring.   There is something mesmerising about her round eyes and penchant for green that reached parts other people don’t [...]
