We’ve had our say on the PS Vita’s line-up, but to quickly recap Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf and FIFA Football are the ones that should be on top of your shopping list. Then there are a few decent conversions to consider if you don’t already own the originals – F1 2011, …
The PSP’s release schedule hasn’t been a picture of health for a long time, but with the PS Vita hitting Europe this week and Sony now focusing all their attention on their shiny new system the release lists look bleaker than ever. There are a few RPGs lined up for American gamers, and we may …
Looking through their back catalogue, budget publisher Midas Interactive released more games on the PSone and PlayStation 2 than some of the big publishers out there. It was certainly a case of quantity over quality though – you can count the amount of games worth playing on one hand. It’s really quite amazing that some …
It’s another week of change in the chart. Last week’s #1, Kingdoms of Amalur, drops all the way down to #12 while THQ’s UFC Undisputed 3 has gone straight to the top. It’s THQ’s first #1 since Homefront so they’ll no doubt be pleased as punch. FIFA 12, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Mario …
It’s no wonder that the PSP’s release list has been slimmer than a Peperami over the past year – Sony have been working their socks off to provide the PS Vita with no less than ten titles. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and WipEout 2048 are the two main system sellers but there are some other titles …
We see what Warner Bros. have done here and we approve. With the last Batman game only a few months old and another one already hinted at, rather than overuse the character they’ve decided to instead base a game around the Batman universe. There’s nothing we hate more than seeing a character or franchise milked …
The nominations for March’s BAFTA Games Awards were announced yesterday, and the portable category makes interesting reading. What was previously referred to as the Handheld award is now Mobile & Handheld, which neatly reflects the shift that seems to have occurred. In 2009 and 2010 it was all PSP and DS. In 2011, one mobile …
The last two weeks have been rammed with new releases. This week however is more like a typical February with just two releases of note – Tekken 3D Prime Edition and UFC 3. The 3DS already has two very fine fighting games, and if Nintendo Gamer’s review is to be believed, Tekken doesn’t quite manage …
We doubt that many people are planning to buy a PS Vita just to play a revamp of an old Amiga game, but we can’t argue that System 3 aren’t putting effort into the upcoming Putty Squad. The most interesting new addition is the ability to collect stickers by using the Vita’s GPS system. These …
Released: 1997 Formats: PlayStation, PC There was no doubting that Theme Park was going to be a success. It was colourful, fun and innovative and we’re sure that running an amusement park ranks highly amongst the dreams of children. But running a hospital? We’d imagine that 99.99% of all people who actually do run a …
Looking back on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox era you can count the special edition box sets on one pair of hands. The cardboard sleeve editions of ICO and The Shadow of Colossus and a few metal tin editions of are all that spring to mind. There may have been a version of Crash Bandicoot …
A new line of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing toys were recently spotted at an American toy fair, where an attendant confirmed that a sequel to Sega’s hit racer is in development and due out this year. No doubt Sega will slowly drip-feed the character roster between the official announcement and the game’s release. However, …
The chaps at Chart-Track never cease to amaze with their chart-related facts. According to them EA’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has become the first new RPG IP to go straight to number one since Pokemon Red in 2000. An original Game Boy game, ladies and gentlemen. Final Fantasy XIII-2 drops to #2 followed by new …
With a different developer behind it and an edgier look, Ridge Racer Unbounded may not resemble Namco’s classic that we all know and love. There is going to be at least one feature from the older games though – the ‘day one edition’ will include five retro-themed paint jobs similar to those seen in previous …
Some games are dangerous. There was no mobile round-up last week, because Triple Town monopolised my time to the point that I’d not played the rest of the games I was intending to write about. Actually, that’s not quite true, because I did get around to writing about Kimi Raikkonen ICEONE Racing elsewhere. (It’s not …
