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 [...]
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 [...]
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a side scrolling adventure game which combines puzzles, combat, and quirky animation with some great tunes by New World Revolution. Playing as the super soldier Hardboiled Chicken across 15 single player chapters, you must take on the might of the penguin army, led by the Stalinist style dictator ‘Il Putski’. Ratloop Asia have certainly brought a [...]
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 [...]
‘Oh-eye-oh’? ‘Oh-eee-oh’? I’m not entirely sure how this indie game’s title is meant to be pronounced, but it nonetheless refers to the main protagonist. Indeed, OIO as a title appears to be derived from said character’s facial features (very large eyes and thin nose) and it’s safe to assume that it’s also the main character’s name. OIO then, is a [...]
I don’t know much about the Dead Sea Scrolls. As far as I’m aware they’re like the Star Wars expanded universe books but with Christianity instead of Jawas; padding out the world around the main story but not really important enough to make it into the “canon”. El Shaddai practically insists that before starting the game not only should I [...]
If my thumbs could talk, they would probably speak of all the terrible things I have put them through. At the top of their list of lies would be 2 games in particular, Team Meat’s dastardly Super Meat Boy and the rather manic Splosion Man from Twisted Pixel. Twisted Pixel recently released their follow-up to the addictive assault that was [...]
American McGee is back with the sequel to the original Alice video game. Now, I’ll admit I’ve never played the original, which was a dark twist on the Alice in Wonderland story. This clearly rules out the children’s market – these games are a long way from the original Alice in Wonderland story. Alice: Madness Returns has been designed as [...]
El Shaddai: Ascension of The Metatron is a beautiful and exceedingly odd game. After 20 minutes on the demo at E3, I’m still not entirely sure about this button-mashing platformer. You play Enoch, who is apparently on a mission from God to run around and hit things. You dress in snazzy jeans and are blond with white armour plates and [...]
I was completely wrong about Fable: The Journey. The game is absolutely jaw-dropping and is everything I’ve been hoping for from Peter Molyneux and Lionhead since the day Kinect was announced. Just so you know where I’m coming from, this is what I said about the game previously, based on the two-and-a-half minute demo during Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference. [...]
A Shadow’s Tale is a game that seems unsure of its own identity. It riffs on ideas and themes from some truly classic adventure games, and features some uniquely creative ideas, but sadly stops short of the classic status that it might have achieved. To help fuel its confusion, the game has been released under not one, but three different [...]
