Age rating: 3+ (PEGI) What is it? An asteroids clone (high-def update of the Amiga classic Super Stardust) Is it fun? Yes. Is it worth the money? £4.99 (from the UK Playstation Store) Yes. Why? Ok, so I was amazed to find something I actually wanted to buy from the UK Playstation Store a few

I really enjoyed this game, even though it wasn’t long enough for me to bother with a full review. Seriously, in the time it would take me to write and format one, you could almost finish the game. Assault Heroes a fun little single/co-op player top-down shooter. You have a couple of vehicles and nice

The Place: Bloomsbury Bowling Alley, London. The Gang: Tikipod, me and friends. The Machine: A lonely Galaxian arcade machine looking for some action. “Lets go bowling, as I know this interesting alley in Bloomsbury” says Tikipod. “Ok, sounds good” I replied.

Age rating: 12+ What is it? An unconventional fantasy-based BOSS-ATTACK game, with a huge sombre and barren landscape to traverse by horse. Set in the same game universe as ICO (also PS2 only) you have to climb big hairy monsters and stab ‘em where it hurts! Is it fun? Yes but not in the instant-adrenaline-hit

Age rating: 3+ What is it? It’s a car racing game where you get speed boost in exchange for driving into oncoming traffic. Is it fun? Yes but not as much as Burnout 3, you spend more time skipping though the reward movies/menus sometimes than actually driving. At least that’s how it feels at times.
