Unfuckwittable. That’s what you were

Hello, Loves!

After four years of le content unfuckwittable, PEOWW (bleoww-faced killers from the Planet Sex) is changing as we know it.  Not in a good way – unfortunately we’ve decided to call it a day on the written side of the site – but the forum and PEOWWcast will continue FOREVER.

We did what we set out to do back in September 2007.  We wrote 260+ reviews telling you exactly what we thought.   It won us a few fans and pissed off a few people along the way but it was all about the games.  Not the industry, the hype, the advertising or the PR guys.  We recommended Two Worlds, we hated EA.  We were the good guys to the end!

We’ll still be around but it is an ending of sorts so thank you for reading, listening and watching.

One love.

Merry fucking Xmas, Loves!

I was Director of Cultural Events at the Haile Selassie Pavilion.

Bahboyah-AH!!

We may not have Jesus in our corner like all the big sites do, but we here at PEOWW would like to wish you all a very merry Xmas!

To all our readers, forum slags, listeners and excellent chums around the world, we hope you get tons of good shit to play and chocolate oranges to snork.

We’ll be posting again before the New Year with a little bit of this and a little bit of that but in the meantime: ONE LOVE from PEOWW .

Dizzy returns!

Dizzy, the somersaulting, puzzle-solving egg has returned in Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk Folk.  Unfortunately this is an iOS and Android outing for the 8-bit gaming mascot which means the controls are basically bollocks but it’s authentic enough and looks nice, especially the HD iPad version.

The iPod/Phone version will set you back £1.49 and the iPad version is £2.49 (fifty pence more than the Speccy original cost back in the ’80s which isn’t too bad).  Unfortunely it’s a very short game, extended by tedious backtracking and it has, by far, the worst in-game audio of any game we’ve ever played.  Well, barring Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.  Anyway, avoid it.  It’s not very good.  Rich

EA take the piss

The ongoing battle between EA and Activision to see who can be the most evil publisher in gaming has taken a scarcely-believable turn thanks to this story that we hope isn’t true.

EA’s online MMO racer, Need For Speed World, is offering players the chance to purchase the CCX Elite car for the reduced price of $75 (£48).  Yes.  Reduced.  From $100 (£64).  Yes.  I know, right?

Now this may just be an online hoax and if that’s the case, we’re happy to be victims of it.  But if it’s true… fuck.  We, as gamers, may as well get down on our knees with our mouths open and drink EA’s actual piss because we’re somehow all responsible for letting this happen.  Gaming sucks now.  Rich
