The Office of Fair Trading’s Principles for Online and App-based Games: FAQs (UK)


Why has the OFT published these Principles?
Following a market investigation into online and app-based games in 2013, the OFT had

Firefighting action RPG The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny coming to PlayStation


In this sequel to a 16-bit original, Pete and Danny are two firemen sworn to fight fires and save lives. When a blaze breaks out at the amusement park on Christmas Eve, the two go into action to rescue trapped citizens. Unlike most action RPGs, The Firemen 2 takes a different approach since Pete and Danny don’t fight goblins or stop world-ending evil, they are battling against flames and time to save the day. Players must use their water nozzle weapons and power-ups wisely or they will get licked with the intense inferno’s tongue.
