Final Fantasy XII Launch at HMV
I am ill and off work. Even so, I dragged my virus-ravaged, still-coughing body into Central London this afternoon in order to cover the European launch of Final Fantasy XII at HMV in Oxford Street. Executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu and visual designer/co-director Hiroshi Minagawa were there. Also, I heard rumours of games-related freebies ;) There were about two hundred people [...]
There’s a Little Britain Game?
Like most of the UK-dwelling population, I like parts of the BBC’s Little Britain. I like Andy. Vicky Pollard amuses me. Kenny Craig as well. Bubbles? Er, no. And Harvey… don’t even start. So when I heard that there was a Little Britain game coming out next week, I was a little intrigued. But mostly I’m afraid. Very afraid. You [...]
Monkey Fling, Monkey Poo
There I am in Canis Canem Edit/Bully, innocently defending myself against the bullies, preps and greasers at Bullworth Academy… I finally find myself a nice place to stay, kitted out with a bar, a bed and even arcade games. Fantastic! I fire up the game and I’m greeted with this gem of an instruction screen for Monkey Fling: Sadly, the [...]
Funeral for an Air Guitar
Last night the humble air guitar was put to rest at a dignified ceremony in Hoxton. Famed for its appearances in such Hollywood films as Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, the air guitar has left two sons, Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II. The ceremony was a fitting tribute, with poetry readings [...]
My Little Flufties
Came across a video for My Little Flufties on Eurogamer.tv earlier today. Apparently it’s a “life simulator” game from Lexicon Entertainment. Features of the game include: Cute, colourful and appealing cartoon styled graphics. 5 adorable species/creatures to care for and all fully animated. A delightful and fascinating fairy tale world that will captivate young minds. 5 exciting bonus games: Fish-o-matic, [...]
Rogue Trooper Review (PS2)
Age Rating: 16+ (PEGI) What is it? 3rd person shooter based on the 2000AD comic strip. Is it fun? Yeah Is it worth the money? At £25 from play.com, yeah. Tell me more please: Aw, ok :) Rebellion, the company who made this and who also bought 2000AD a few years back, also made the turd of a game otherwise [...]
Tomb Raider Legend – PS2
BEWARE – SMALL SPOILERS – skip the italicised text if you don’t want to know! Age rating: 12+ What is it? Adventure, action, but not really enough puzzles. Is it fun? Yes, for the most part. Is it worth the money? £29.99 (from Play.com) Yes, but the game is a little short (…I am seeing a theme recurring here) Why? [...]
Manhunt Review (PS2)
Age Rating: 18 (BBFC) Is it fun? Once you get past the first few levels. Is it worth the money? £12.99 from Amazon Only because it’s cheap now! Why? Manhunt? What – isn’t that game a bit old? Yeah, you wouldn’t be wrong. But is it any good? Well for one thing it isn’t scary. I was expecting some sort [...]
Tomb Raider: Legend. Available 7th April
Eidos have announced that the latest instalment of the Tomb Raider franchise will be available from the 7th April 2006 (USA – 11th April). This is a fairly crucial release for Eidos as the previous Tomb Raider games have been pretty poor in quality and lacking in gameplay innovation having stuck to the tried and tested formula of the original. [...]
Sega Classics Collection – Preview
Due for release on 03/02/2006, this is an interesting retro-remake collection of games. In Japan they were originally released individually at a budget price, so to have them all bundled onto one disc here in the UK seems like quite a bargain, doesn’t it? On paper the listing sounds pretty impressive, OUTRUN – GOLDEN AXE – VIRTUA RACING – MONACO [...]
