The Bit.Trip series has been one of the more unique offerings on the Wii, with each new title offering a totally new gameplay experience. With modern twists on old-school gameplay, Commander Video goes on quite a journey across the six games, ranging from one-player pong to sprints across dangerous planes. The six games have now been packed into a nice [...]
So, 3D eh? It’s been out a while now and I still have no desire whatsoever to buy active shutter glasses, passive TV thingies, that Trioviz whatsit or a Nintendo 3DS. I just don’t care, y’know? Edge violation annoys the crap out of me and frankly, I shuffle around a lot when I’m playing games. Like… a lot. Like, I [...]
The Sims 3 Pets has been in development for some time – I’ve played a bit of the character creator at E3 and gamescom and can confirm that yup, it feels a lot like The Sims. I’m a big fan of the Sims series, though I must admit that the fun kind of went out of it for me when [...]

As well as playing Mario Kart 7 and Starfox 64 3D we also got some hands-on time three more upcoming Wii and 3DS games at the recent Nintendo showcase. Yeah, we had a busy afternoon at the event. Super Mario 3D Land: Nick: The four level demo featured tons of classic Mario gameplay all rendered in fantastic stereoscopic 3D. The [...]
Luigi’s Mansion 2 is a strange and gripping game of exploration and combat strategy. Not having played the original, I have no basis for comparison but I found the 15 minute demo at a Nintendo showcase very enjoyable. You play Luigi, who has been sucked through a madman’s TV monitor and into a haunted mansion. The madman in question is [...]
In Star Fox 64 3D I got the chance to save the universe once again as Fox McCloud and his Arwing spacecraft in a remake of the classic Star Fox Nintendo 64 game. Everything started off well with a beautifully rendered 3D star map which I used to select the different planets I wanted to visit. This set the tone [...]
Over the years I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Nintendo’s seminal racer. I loved the SNES and N64 games and hated every version since, especially Mario Kart Wii. Thanks Ninty, but you can take your airy-fairy steering wheel and shove it right up your arse! Without a rubbish steering wheel in sight and sporting some natty 3D visuals, Mario Kart [...]
At E3 2011 I talked with Drew Hahn, community manager for the Need for Speed games to ask him about the balance between the driving / on-foot sections in Need For Speed: The Run and the Autolog system which has become such a big feature of the Need For Speed franchise. Has the addition of the on-foot sections really turned [...]
For those who are among the younger generation of gamers, or anyone who hasn't played the original, Ocarina of Time follows the adventures of young Link. He awakens one morning to find himself hand-picked by the great Deku tree, the benevolent protector of the forest in which the Kokiri people live. His task? To venture out into the big world, meet a princess and save everyone from the impending doom being spearheaded by pointy-nosed Ganon. All a rather low pressure situation for Link. He handles it with a demeanor befitting of a hero, all the time rocking the green hat.
