Whenever I see that a publisher has turned a television game show into a contemporary video game, I always come away with “Really?” as my only thought. Games based on quiz shows never age well (and in some cases grow stale after the first round of play), but GameTek’s Family Feud for the Super NES takes things to an entirely new level by playing fast and loose with the concept of correct and incorrect answers. Check out this video full..

In D3Publisher’s wildest dreams, Matt Hazard is an established videogame character, with best-selling titles dating back to the 80s.In reality, Matt Hazard’s first videogame appearance was on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier this year, with Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Again, Hazard wasn’t really returning from anything, but it sure is a hell of a lot more fun than buy into it game’s backstory. The self-referential shooter parodied videogame cliches with varied success, —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts

Notice how I specifically say “physics” and not “realistic physics.” Because, as far as I know, wagon-carrying cattle cannot leap from mountain to mountain; if only we lived in a world where such a mode of transportation existed.Let’s Go Find El Dorado is an indie game developed for Ludum Dare 16. You can think of it as a reimagining of the classic Oregon Trail story, complete with — yes, quit asking already — dysentery.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may have only sold 2,000 more units than FIFA 10 during the week ending December 26 in the UK, but it was enough for Infinity Ward’s unstoppable shooter to hold the top spot for a seventh week. Meanwhile, with no high-profile releases following the solstice, the rest of the chart appears to be a dance of all the other titles moving up and down a couple notches.Assassin’s Creed 2 climbs back up two spots to third, with the next four spots occupied by Wii titles.

Microsoft delivers a late Christmas present to Xbox 360 owners, discounting Castle Crashers by more than 50% for one day only. The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers is still one of the best things going on Xbox Live Arcade, and an excellent introduction to the service for folks who found a shiny new Xbox 360 under their Xmas tree this year. It’s a bargain at 1200 Microsoft points, but at 560, or $7, it’s simply too good to pass up

This atmospheric Bioshock sequel is balanced, intuitive and looks set to be a classic of the genre “Jack from the first game wouldn’t last long in this new Rapture,” I am told, as I get my first glimpse of Bioshock 2. In which case it’s lucky that you now play a Big Daddy – the huge, hulking baddies that made the first game famous – and are armed with a drillbit the size of Optimus Prime’s arm and a boltgun that could take out a T-rex. But this is 10 years after the original Bioshock.

iPhone/iPod Touch; £3.99; cert 12+; Gameloft With fond memories of the original Driver, a PlayStation classic that was something of a pioneer of the time, I was really looking forward to seeing whether Gameloft could recapture its glory in this iPhone/iPod Touch outing, 10 years on. I wasn’t disappointed. The new Driver feels like an exact replica of the original, and that is a huge compliment
