This is not a game. I wish it was, but it is not. It looks like the stages map for the most awesome 8-bit game I can possibly imagine, but It's an awesome 8-bit image made by Eric Poulton. It's titled Underneath It All, which is a great game name too. Read More >>
Game is still alive, for the moment at least. It's even the official launch partner of the Wii U, if that actually counts for anything. But it's trying something new to tempt teenagers and tech-nerds alike into its stores -- free Wi-Fi for all, just come and visit. Won't you, please?Read More >>

It seems like things are looking up for the battered GAME group. Both GAME and its subsidiary Gamestation’s websites are back up and running, while loyalty and gift cards are apparently set to be reactivated too.

GAME Group has officially appointed administrators to sort out its sorry situation. Rumours claiming that banking group RBS, one of GAME's biggest lenders, may have been preparing to step in and buy the lot, failed to materialise, so there's big pain on the way for the chain and its employees.

When we last mentioned the plight of poor high street retailer GAME, its share price was languishing at a new low of 0.6p. It's now up to well over 3p today, on the back of positive news of a potential buyer stepping in to save the day. Read More >>

GAME Group's share price has plummeted to less than the cost of a scratched old copy of Gran Turismo 2 (without a box or manual), as the troubled high street chain is forced to admit it still can't source stock of some new titles and is "uncertain" what its future may hold. Read More >>
