It would appear that rather than spend a fat wad of cash developing a new Manhunt game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Rockstar are going to knock out Manhunt 2 using current generation tech. The PlayStation 2, PSP and Wii to be precise. Rockstar’s new London studio are handling the Sony versions, while the …
Crude, unimaginative, and frankly pathetic. And I’m not proud of that headline, either. Yes, I am literally as funny as Little Britain since the second TV series. The game – which I’m assuming is beyond poor, but if someone wants to prove me wrong then go ahead – is new at #14. It’s not the …
Nintendo’s philosophy has always been to wait and see what their competitors are up to, then go one step further and better their products. It happened with the SNES, it happened with the Nintendo 64 and it arguably happened with the Wii. Back in 1995 however, the Kyoto giant went head first into the world …
Want to pre-order your PlayStation 3 from HMV? Well, prepare to be viciously gouged. HMV aren’t stocking unbundled systems, instead selling the PlayStation 3 in a bundle with the PSP (plus a 4GB memory stick and two games). The bargain price of this ‘value added’ bundle?

Star Fox 64 – nee Lylat Wars – was the first game to be created by Nintendo with a rumble pack in mind. It worked brilliantly, providing feedback for explosions of all shapes and sizes. It also worked well in Zelda, vibrating away when a secret grotto was nearby, while GoldenEye 007 used it to …
With Eledees out in Europe whenever Konami can be arsed (Amazon has it down for a 30th April release; Game says 30th March) the development team behind it have unveiled their next Wii-exclusive: Dewy’s Adventure. He’s a water droplet, you see. Yes, it sounds like something you’d buy for someone who’s only just learned to …
Xbox Live Arcade and Wii’s Virtual Console both offer downloadable retro titles. But which is the best way to relive a misspent youth, in the process misspending your not so youth? I tried to find out without going to too much effort. It was Super Probotector’s Virtual Console release which got me here. I have …
When Sonic Mega Collection Plus was released on PlayStation 2 and Xbox, it managed to take the top spot in the chart, meaning that Sega Mega Drive Collection – reviewed here – could potentially ‘do the business’ for Sega. It’s only £14.99 with postage at Choices too. If it gets outsold by the dismal looking …
