Make Crotch Rockets

why cant there be a game for the ps2 and 3 where there is a game called speedway not like nascar but like the bikes because me and a few of my mates have been lookin everywhere and to are disserpointment we have not found one. what we would like though is to see the elite league with speedway teams like Poole Pirates, Ipswitch withes, Bell Vue aces, Coventry bees.

If you dont know what i am talking about then this is what it is 4 riders on the starting line up 4laps when you want to go on to you tube and have a look for youreself put in speedway it will be the one with bikes the bikes have no brakes. please consider making this a game

yours sincerly

-- Joe

Joe, I've said it before and I will continue to say it again until it sinks into people's skulls - we don't make games, we review them. As such, we will not be making a "Speedway" game, nor will we take your Youtube endorsement into consideration. However, if you happen to pass that idea onto a game company and they choose to take up the idea of crotch rockets without brakes as the basis for a new franchise, we'll happily write articles on the subject then.

Guitar Hero Adapted?

This link says that this adaptar will work for Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2. I went to buy one after reading this article and the adaptar only works on controllers not mats, guitar hero etc. I ended up buying another adaptar that has a ps button and specifically designed for Guitar Hero 2.

Thanks,

-- Brandon

Hey Brandon, we didn't say that it would work in that piece - we said it seemed like it would. With that piece written before we even had a retail unit in the office, we tried the PC PlayStation-to-USB adapter, but we couldn't verify it on our test units. Once we received retail units, we tried that one again, and that particular adapter didn't work at all, primarily thanks to the lack of PS button. Similarly, we tried the one with a PS button, but the lag we experienced was so bad that we couldn't actively endorse that adapter for a PS3 for fans looking to migrate over. Hopefully, the PS3 Guitar will be strong enough that this adapter nonsense will simply go away.

WE DON'T MAKE GAMES!!!!

are you also makeing rock band for the ps2 because i dont have a ps3 or xbox 360 so can you also make it for the ps2 ty.

-- Skyler

Skyler, sorry to hear that you don't happen to have a PS3 or a 360. Unfortunately, you're barking up the wrong tree -- As stated earlier, we don't make games, so we won't make it for the PS2. Nor will it be coming out for the PS2 either from MTV Games and Harmonix. We will play a ton of it for our review however on those other systems.

Where's Our Spore?

Hi there

Firstly lets get the ass kissing out of way, I've found quite a few hidden gems when looking in the recviews section and going into the different genres. Like I picked up Scaler for �5 and its pretty damn sweet.

Anyway, news on Spore seems to have vanished.

Any idea if its still on the horizon?

-- Imran

Imran, Spore is still on the way for PC at least at some time in 2008. We're not entirely sure if Spore will be making its way to the PS2, so as soon as we know, we'll make sure to pass that info along.

It Has Begun. If you haven't noticed already, tis the start of the holiday season, where the deluge of titles rains down from the heavens and your wallet is assaulted by big titles. We've already started losing sleep on some of the largest games, and it hasn't even gotten to September yet. Maybe we should try that Captain Crunch and Coffee recipe we heard about in Beyond…
