Spoilers bring out the worst in people, whether it be kids rushing about the playground with the results of last nights Royal Rumble that you were looking forward to watch when you got home or people speaking too loud on the train about the episode of Lost they downloaded the previous evening. Heavy Rain is released at the end of the week on PS3 and already spoilers are popping up on the net about the identity of ‘The Origami Killer’, ruining the game for many players. Here are some tips to avoid spoilers for this game and others in the future.
While looking at upcoming game releases I found this gem – a DS game based on Coronation Street where players take the role of a detective as they work through a brand new storyline and befriend the various characters from the street, including Ken, Norris, Maria and Blanche.

Bung your submissions in the comments box, or post them on Twitter to @electricspectre. If response is good enough then I’ll post the best ones in a shiny-new post later on.
Get that overactive imagination working!
I know, I know, Turok was a dinosaur hunter. But he wasn’t reeeally, anymore than Gordon Freeman is a combine-assassin or Mario is a gooma-exterminator. No – I want a game where the focus is on the actual dinosaur hunting, rather than solving some bigger problem and happening to kill every dinosaur that gets in your way.
