That hoverbike level!
Yes, you know the one. There are rumoured to be ten levels after it but nobody has ever seen them.
Microsoft has made a move that could signal the return of the beloved 1990s console classic Battletoads. The Xbox giant last week filed for a trademark on the name of the side-scrolling platform beat-em-up as a game software title. Microsoft has filed for the trademark with an intent to use, stating "the applicant has a bona …
URGH!

Viva piñata is up there with my favourite games of the 2000s, a surprisingly deep and involved strategy game masquerading as a kid's garden simulator. The score and art design also showed that Rare could still produce stunning games as they frequently did in the N64 era.

Shame that all the talent got that fed up of overbearing management that they left so now the company is just a shell of the company it once was.
