The Daily Mail are at it again, and this time they’re angry about Sega releasing Mad World on the “family friendly Wiiâ€. Mad World, if you weren’t aware, looks like an unofficial tribute to the monochrome Sin City and lets you kill foes by sticking traffic signs through their head. It looks quite good. John …
Count yourselves lucky – while we happily sit and play on our Wiis, Xbox 360s and Atari Jaguars, gamers in Brazil are still getting to grips with the Sega Master System. Tec Toy have been manufacturing the console for the past few years over there and have just unveiled their 2008 model – the Master …
Word has it that The Mummy III – out this week on PlayStation 2 and DS – is going to be the last game published by Sierra before they become Activision Blizzard. It’s a shame to see them going out with a fizzle rather than a bang – they had a decent reputation in the …
We all love not news – those stories that tell us nothing at all. They’re in all areas of the specialist media, but I think games websites still do it best. But I was disappointed to find little on American gaming sites – just IGN telling us that Left 4 Dead isn’t coming to PlayStation …
Soul Calibur IV shot straight to the top of the chart, which isn’t surprising seeing as it’s the first one-on-one brawler to be released in ages. It’s the Xbox 360 version of that has shifted the most copies so far – 56 percent, in fact. Wii Fit has dropped to #2, Big Beach Sports has …
The wait for a definitive Transformers game is over – Glu have just released Transformers G1: Awakening for mobile phones. It’s based on the original 80’s series and has more than a hint of Advance Wars about it. Two versions have been made – one with 2D battle scenes and another with 3D battles for …
I’m still pretty bemused as to why Soul Calibur IV features Yoda and Darth Vader, but they don’t appear to have dragged down the quality of the game with plenty of high scores rolling in. Remember: Xbox 360 gets Yoda while PlayStation 3 has Vader. Apparently though you’ll be able to download the missing one …
I wanted to wait until I’d seen the film to play THQ’s WALL-E tie-in. I wasn’t so interested in the quality of the game – Matt’s covered that – but rather how it relates to the film. The answer: tenuously. It starts with the same opening sequence – WALL-E trundling around, compacting scrap, building structures, …
There may not have been a new Zelda or Mario shown at E3, but don’t despair – a new adventure game by Chibi-Robo creators Skip has been revealed in a recent issue of Famitsu. The best thing about this, ahem, colourful game is that it stars a wide range of B-list Nintendo characters living together …
Ubisoft are publishing a Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen game for Wii and DS this September, while Atari have recently announced interactive cook book What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver for the DS. If you ask me, this paves the way for a Escape to River Cottage game staring Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Imagine the mini games: Fishing! Cooking …
Game claims that there are just four titles out this week: Guitar Hero on Tour and Animal Genius for DS, The Incredible Hulk on PlayStation 2 and Pool Party on Wii. So unless you fancy using your DS as a guitar then this week is a bit of a write-off. There isn’t much out next …
Would you rather watch (mostly glorified) footage of the titles shown at E3 rather than read boring words about them? Then a trip over to our YouTube channel should do you some good. Videos currently proving popular include Ubisoft’s new IP I am Alive, Microsoft’s “Xbox 360 Experience†avatars and dashboard update video, and Sega’s …
We all know that Sony needs to show off something really special at this year’s E3. The good news is that they showed off more surprises than Nintendo did, with the biggest being MAG from SOCOM developers Zipper Interactive. Think Resistance 2’s 60 player online mode sounded impressive? Think again – MAG will let 256 …
Nintendo are effectively upgrading the Wii Remote. This immediately sounds warning bells: anything non-standard inevitably means that not everyone has the same equipment – and that’s the essential assumption for console games. But it’s okay, because the Wii MotionPlus – as it’s being called – will be included with Wii Sports Resort. Also included will …
E3 is go – just a day after I left the US – with Microsoft the first company to announce their plans for the future. If the press conference is anything to go by then the only Halo game planned at the moment is Halo Wars, so it would appear that the talk of a …
