Rayman Origins. I can hear the collective sighs of the latest generation of gamers across the country whose only memories of Rayman are the Raving Rabbids games and would rather shoot themselves than play another. I say to them NAY, your opinions are wrong (if a little justified). Why do you play games? If you said for fun then you [...]
I don’t usually start a review with a major gripe but as it is to do with the title of the game, I feel it is needed. Kirby’s Adventure Wii is an atrocious name. It’s lame, boring, and there is nothing catchy about it at all. It isn’t even the original title of the game, so money has actually been [...]
Generally, Christmas is a time of excess. Mince pies are consumed by the dozen and the mere mention of fitness is banished to the naughty step with the rest of the never-fulfilled New Year’s resolutions. Where the only exercise you’ll see is two people trying to hold on to just a bit more of a cracker, so they can be [...]
11/11/11 was a key date for many. Before you all yell ‘Skyrim’ at your screens, instead it was the date of my first ever video games preview event, at the O2 Arena, for WWE ’12. The very kind folks at THQ stationed several Xbox 360s and PS3s with WWE ’12 for people to get stuck in straightaway and it didn’t [...]
Carpathian Caterpillars, it’s Tintin and he’s back in a new adventure! As a child of the late 70’s I grew up with Tintin – not in English mind you, but in French – so I was looking forward to the movie but dreading the video game. Why? It’s rare to find a video game that’s a movie tie-in and multi-platform [...]
There was palpable excitement in my office when We Sing arrived in the post, albeit… mostly from myself. Having already had a bit of a sneaky peek online I knew the rough track listing and was seriously impressed, I’d actually heard of most of the songs. Good tracks are what a karaoke game like We Sing relies on, without well [...]
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 [...]
Any day now I am gonna write that feature where I whinge that having loads of dance games has taught me 3 different routines to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. Sure, that’s all well and good when you’re sober but at 2am after several bottles of wine and your friends are all “Come on then, show us how it’s done on [...]
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 [...]
Nintendo was the last of the big companies to take the stage and bring a close this year’s pre-E3 media briefings. Obviously everyone was eager to see what Nintendo’s new console looks like and what Mario’s latest outing would be. Here’s what Nintendo revealed. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword This is coming to the Wii later on this year, [...]
With the Wii seemingly coming to the end of its lifecycle, and a new Nintendo console on the horizon, now seems a good time to look back at some great WiiWare games, that many Wii owners may have missed. The Wii Shop Channel is home to some cracking titles, but it is really not very user friendly, and Nintendo’s stubborn [...]
Everyone loves Spongebob Squarepants, right? He’s an adorable little sponge who lives underwater in Bikini Bottom (yes, that’s really what it’s called). Every day he gets up to hilarious shenanigans with his little neighbourhood friends, Patrick Star, Mr. Krabs, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks and Sheldon Jared Plankton, Jr. No. I hate Spongebob Squarepants and everything his hyperactive, maniacal, overly loud, [...]
