With nine dungeons, various sub-missions and collectable bugs and ghosts to locate, Twilight Princess is by far Link’s longest romp yet. It took me just over thirty six hours to see the credits, but there’s loads of stuff left to see and do – it wasn’t until the final battle that I realised I hadn’t …
This month’s Official Nintendo Magazine has a preview of a quirky new Nintendo DS game from Koei entitled Prey the Stars. Despite being nearly finished and due for release in the spring, when we put the name into Google all we could find were a handful of Australian online stores offering pre-orders. Which is odd. …
Featuring nine mini-games, this compilation – bundled free(ish) with extra Wii remotes – is designed is to teach you how to use the remote, step by step. As such we’re wondering why it wasn’t bundled with the Wii instead of Wii Sports, and we’re also confused as to how Nintendo are going to sell this …
By bundling this free with US and European Wiis, Nintendo aren’t just showing their generous side – they’re showing their intelligent side as well. It’s a genuine people magnet – the sort of game that’s ideal to flaunt your new play thing. As such, we reckon that Nintendo’s theory is that you give your mates …
There may only have been two things said this week worth repeating, but it’s quality, not quantity, which counts. » I’m growing to like Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. He does love to comment on the games industry, and he doesn’t care if he’s wrong. A couple of weeks ago his thought that there wouldn’t …
Emergency Mayhem might ring a bell with you – it was one of the games that Acclaim were working on before they ran into money troubles. Despite originally being announced way back at E3 2004, Codemasters have somehow managed to salvage the remains and are readying it for release on Wii. A PlayStation 2 version …
2007 is going to be a sterling year for Xbox Live Arcade, with Jeff Minter’s Space Giraffe, Castle Crashers, Worms, EA’s Fantavision clone Boom Boom Rocket and the Trickstyle-style Street Trace NYC all shaping up to be essential downloads. Heavy Weapon, however, doesn’t get this year’s offerings off to a good start. First impression: it’s …
It’s been ages since anything seriously exciting happened in chart land, but this week’s top 40 is something of a cracker. Despite not really being a AAA title, Lost Planet has managed to take the top spot, knocking FIFA 07 to #3. So what’s at #2, you ask? Why, it’s only Wario Ware on Wii. …
It may be clear by now that I love a good pun. I love a bad pun, too. There are also certain people who would have you believe that I love pirates (the old fashioned nautical kind). But these people are liars. The point I’m managing to avoid is that, unbeknownst to me, the press …
Its speculation time, folks. Zootfly – who last worked on Panzer Elite Action – have released a couple of videos featuring a new Ghostbusters game in action. The first shows off a third person shooter with a Resident Evil 4 over-the-shoulder camera, which focuses on how objects can be destroyed or lobbed around with the …
For this week’s Saturday round up, I’d like to salute IGN UK writer Rob Burman, and his contribution to the art of headline writing. » Livingstone Singapores His Heart Out Ian Livingstone said something in Singapore, so what more could you ask for in a headline? Bonus marks for the word “opined” in the article …
Why EA hadn’t jumped on the retro compilation bandwagon before now is a bit of a mystery. Maybe it’s down to format choice: when the Saturn and PSone were in their prime, the Mega Drive and SNES were still a recent memory. PlayStation 2 and Xbox were probably a contender at one point, but EA …
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, then. It’s Capcom’s second 360-exclusive and apparently a solid – if predictible – shooter. If you’ve still got some extra cash left after the festive season then you might want to get the limited edition version. It comes in a metal case with an art book and a disk containing soundtracks, …
One of our predictions for 2007 has become a reality already: the PSP will receive some games that people actually want to play. Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars is a remix of the arcade/Dreamcast original and the ever-so-lacking sequel. The graphics have had a buff and polish, you can now save replays onto a memory card …
