  • R.I.P. NTSC-uk. Long live Bordersdown!

    In case you hadn't noticed the new url, NTSC-uk has now rebranded as Bordersdown.

    Our basic mission remains similar:
    We passionately review any game, whatever the region, whatever the format.
    We are home to a welcoming and knowledgeable community on our forums.

    The NTSC-uk name was iconic and lasted for 10 years, but apart from the Wii
    (and retro gaming), it doesn't hold much current relevance for the HD generation. Therefore we held a competition to find a name.

    Bordersdown hints at the past - we never liked the black borders at the top
    and bottom of PAL screens.
    It hints at the present and future - we like to seek out games from all
    regions and platforms.
    There's a new logo, which was a collaboration by many of the site's readers (thanks guys!) and a new site style too.

    We have switched to a new host http://www.nimbushosting.co.uk/ - They have
    been immensely helpful and their server is swift and reliable.

    We have installed a new search engine that allows much more useful queries
    and returns results quickly.

    We have:
    - an ebay gaming pimp folder - your items appear on homepage!
    - a bargains folder so you can pick up games for less.
    - First Play: get opinions by gamers like you on the latest releases to help
    you decide
    - No restrictions on email domains now, so if you previously signed up when
    gmail etc were banned, please feel free to update to your preffered email
    address
    - Regular competitions in the Blueroom (see here for the latest winner
    announcement video featuring me in a Fez...)
    - Blogs. Now anyone can have a blog on the site. Go ahead and blog about
    your favourite topics.

      Said to see the name change, but it makes a lot of sense. This is a totally different forum now. I hope all the GBA and other old reviews stay though.

      Have you guys re-instated all those old articles which went down? I checked the front page by clicking Dreamcast, and I'm sure you had more content than that. I'm pretty sure I did a Bomber Hehe review for the site. Hmm, the old features and reviews are difficult to navigate towards.

      EDIT:
      And you had LOADS more than 6 PS2 reviews. You had something like 50 at one point. Maybe even 100 or more. I'm just making those numbers up, but I hope you haven't junked all the old content, some of that stuff was ace.

      Fear not, I have it all backed up - it all has to be added manually gradually because it wasn't in a database before. I'll get your Bomber Hehe one done next

  • Radiohead KID A MNESIA Exhibition - Report
    by Adrian Purser
    Appearing recently on digital storefronts, this digital exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary re-release and bringing together of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums. It's been made in collaboration between the band and Epic Games, though it's also very quick to tell you that it is not a game, epic or otherwise. That, I think, is a mixture of nervous expectation-setting, alongside its creators selling both games, and what they've created, short.
    Unless you're one of those sorts...

  • Datel Freeloader Review - Action Replay Gamecube Region Free disc
    by Charles R
    Once upon a time, there was a Freeloader. It was late, as usual, but everyone waited with baited breath, because it promised much.

    And so it came to pass, the Freeloader finally arrived, and oh what gifts it brought. The ability to de-zone everyone's Gamecubes. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. It was welcomed with open arms.
    Datel, after many delays, have now released their de-zoning disc. Twice. The f...

  • Goldeneye N64 Retrospective
    by Archives
    Describing the greatness of Goldeneye isn't the easiest task in the world. If you were to show it to a gamer who has recently been showered with PC First Person Shooters such as Far Cry, then they'd scoff at the low-polygon landscapes, the poor digitised textures of Robbie Coltrane and the frame rate equivalent to the IQ of a table leg. They'd be missing the point though, as levels such as "Surface" are the forebears to Far Cry's grand vistas.
    Which leads us nicely into one of the reaso...

    Here is a translation of the menu screens in:
    Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for the Sony Playstation2:

    Match Options Menu - appears before each match

    The selectable parts of these options all change, but we've translated what's in the screenshot anyway. Also this is a scroll menu and there's an option that doesn't appear on this screen unless you scroll, which is "Referee Select" (Left side) User Settings - 1 Blue Corner - 1P Red Corner - CP Match Rule -...

  • TGS 2003 - Tokyo Game Show Report
    by Archives
    As a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Did you ever dream of going to a game show in Japan? I'm sure it's something most avid gamers can associate with. On Sunday the 28th of September, my wife and I headed towards Makuhari messe from western Tokyo, a journey of 2 hours. When we finally ...
