One of the biggest types of games during the early 90’s was the shoot’em up. I’m sure most of you have played or heard of R-Type, and Q-Games’ latest PixelJunk SideScroller is in that very same play style… HARD! The first thing that strikes you is the beautiful and stylish old school graphics. The screen, curved like an old cathode [...]
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 [...]
Just over a year ago, a little XBLA game called Shank was released. A cartoon-style combat platformer inspired by the works of Tarantino and Rodriguez, it featured plenty of blades, ultra-bloody attacks, and beer bottles as health pick-ups. Seems like pretty standard gaming fare for the adult grindhouse audience, right? Problem is, the game opened with an disturbing sequence in [...]
Under Siege is the first PS3 game from independent developers Seed Studios, whose producer Filipe Pina was interviewed by Debbie back in December 2010. As the PS3 isn’t exactly inundated with RTS games, it is nice to find and play one that has been built from scratch for the platform, including support for the Move controller. Read on to find [...]
On the day that witnessed the final launch of the Space Shuttle program, what better way to end it than with some top gaming news. Eric Chahi, Naughty Dog’s Lead Game Designer Richard Lemarchand and thatgamecompany’s Robin Hunicke will all be presenting their games at this year’s Gamecity 6 videogames festival which takes place in Nottingham between 25th – 29th [...]
For this week’s feature, I decided to have a look at London’s thriving indie developer community. They are a fairly communal bunch with regular meet-ups on the first Monday of every month and they have their own London Indies website. There’s also a Twitter hashtag called #LondonIndies where many post-pub discussions can be found. If you’ve read our recent “You [...]
I do like to keep this site pretty clean and not drown you guys in dozens of news posts taken straight from press releases. That does frequently mean, however, that you miss out on some interesting stuff. I’ve decided to do a daily news round-up post that pulls together the most useful, interesting or just plain weird things we hear [...]
Now that Sony is bringing the PlayStation Network (PSN) back online and with the PlayStation Store arriving later in the month, now’s a good time to check out the range of PSN pre-paid cards that are available. The advantage with these cards is that you can avoid entering your credit/debit card details into your PSN account. You can also save [...]
Back in December we had a good play with upcoming PSN real-time strategy title Under Siege (no relation to the Steven Seagal film). It’s since been delayed by Sony’s QA process but we were happy to hear today that they’ve finally received approval and the game will be out in Europe on April 27th. It’s an interesting take on the [...]
Zombie killing always seems to come in and out of fashion, like flares and turtle necks. We've got Resident Evil running constantly in the background and TV shows like The Walking Dead. In November 2010, Housemarque released their isometric 3D zombie-slaughtering PSN game - Dead Nation. Richard finds out if it's just another faddy cash-in or a genuinely fun game.
Gameloft have announced that their action RPG game Dungeon Hunter: Alliance will be coming to the PlayStation Network sometime in April. I’m always happy to see a game based around exploring dungeons. In this case there’s over 30 levels to explore on your own or with friends via online/offline co-op. There will be areas to explore that are randomly generated [...]

The aim of the game is simple – to guide a never ending series of aircraft to their respective landing strips. This is accomplished by drawing flight paths for them on the top down view. One crash and, [...]
