Matt Gander Well, you certainly can’t say that Child of Eden has a clichéd plot. Lumi, the ever first human child to be born on a space station, is being digitally reconstructed by a future generation in an attempt to view her memories. But she’s under attack by a virus, which must be destroyed to allow access …
Fore! With tennis on the television this weekend both Virtua Tennis 4 and Top Spin 4 re-enter the top ten at #5 and #8 respectively. Oddly though, Fight Night Champion dropped down the chart despite boxing being on the picture box as well. As predicted last week, with Transformers: Dark of the Moon now out …
Solatorobo: Red Hunter is the type of game that Nintendo fans would kick up a stink about if it had been denied a European release. But behold – here it is on our shores, without signs of any begging or pleading. If anything it proves that Nintendo are still confident in the DS market. This …
New games for old systems aren’t as uncommon as you may think. There have been a few RPGs localised and released on cartridge for the Mega Drive recently and the Dreamcast still receives a new shoot’em up every few months. Even the Atari Lynx has had a new release recently in the form of the …
Loose copies of Taito’s Little Samson on NES can fetch up to £100 due to its rarity. You’d think that a complete copy would only fetch a little more, but not so – this new and sealed copy netted a US seller $5,500.00 (£3,444.39) after 29 bids. What is it with Americans paying stupid amounts …
The good news is that the highest new entry in this week’s chart isn’t the new Transformers tie-in but rather F.E.A.R 3 which makes a chart debut at #3. Optimus and the others have to make do with #17. No doubt it’ll be in the top 10 next week once the movie is released. Speaking …
The order in which superhero games have been released on the current crop of consoles reads like the hierarchy of who’s who in the world of mutants and super-humans. Games based on Superman, Spider-man, Batman, Iron Man, Hulk and the X-Men have already been ousted and we’re now onto the B-listers it would seem with …
Wowsers – there’s a lot to get through this week. EA’s Shadows of the Damned and Warner Bros. F.E.A.R 3 are the two big hitters. General opinion on Shadows of the Damned is that it’s good but slightly lacking polish, with scores including a 7 from Eurogamer and an 8 from 360 Gamer magazine. F.E.A.R …
Every month Matt pulls a magazine out for under his bed and gives it a fine going over. Stop giggling at the back there – we’re talking about a video game magazine. This month: issue 54 of N64 Magazine from May 2001. Now here’s a publication that you always knew where you stood with – …
Now here’s something we didn’t expect to see on the Xbox 360. Perhaps on the Wii or DS, but no way on Microsoft’s box. What is it, you ask? If the screenshot hasn’t given it away already, it’s a farming sim. Farm Machines Championships is set to arrive in September and lets budding horticulturalists harvest …
A ménage à trois of titles have graced Games Asylum’s Xbox 360 this month: Vanquish, Fable III and Splatterhouse. Variety is the spice of life and all that. There isn’t much I can say about Vanquish that hasn’t been said before. It looks incredible – like how you’d expect a next-next-gen game to look – …
With more negative reviews of Duke Nukem Forever appearing (EDGE’s 3/10 is one of the latest), 2K’s shoddy shooter has lost the top spot of the chart. But not to Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D as you may expect but rather Zumba Fitness. Link rides in at a respectable #2 with 20% of all current …
This may not be news to you, but it would appear that many people – myself included – were unaware that Child of Eden can be played with a good old fashioned joypad instead of the Kinect. I could blame ignorance on my own behalf for not knowing this but I think Ubisoft is also …
It’s scary to think that those who were born when Zelda: The Ocarina of Time was released will now be 13 years old. As such, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people buying it on 3DS this weekend will have never played it before. Probably not the majority, but I’d wager more than …
The humble Game Boy had a full and long life that very few other consoles can match. New releases did slow down around the mid ’90s, but then came along came a little game known as Pokemon and eventually the Game Boy Color rightfully took the reigns. Even then though some Game Boy Color games …
