There’s more riding on Kinect Sports Rivals than you may expect – Microsoft hopes that it’ll reignite people’s passion for the motion controlled device, just like the original Kinect Sports did back on Xbox 360. Sadly though, review scores haven’t been too positive so far. On the bottom end of the scale there’s the 2/5 …
Batman doesn’t stray far from the world of videogames, does he? This week the caped crusader is back once again – Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate – Deluxe Edition is one the few releases out this week. Just like last year’s Castlevania: Mirror of Fate HD, it was originally a handheld release. Capcom’s whip cracker is …
The Professor Layton series may be done and dusted, but the spirit of Layton lives on in the 3DS’s Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Combining Layton’s puzzle solving and Phoenix Wright’s courtroom drama, it has seemingly gone down a treat with fans of both series. Fans of Layton in particular will no doubt …
Konami’s decision to release a MGSV prologue – or appetiser, if you will – was always going leave some feeling unsettled. With this in mind, reviews of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes have been understandably mixed. EDGE, Eurogamer and God is a Geek found much to enjoy in Snake’s new sandbox world, each giving …
Titanfall has shot straight to the top of the UK chart, dethroning South Park: The Stick of Truth after just one week. Ubisoft’s colourful RPG now sits at #3, with Dark Souls II entering at #2. Chart-Track claims Xbox One sales are up 96% thanks to Titanfall, with 70% of those being the Titanfall bundle. …
From Thief to Fable Legends, this year has already seen a fair few big hitters. This week however sees not one but two of the most anticipated releases of the year – Titanfall and Dark Souls II. There’s also Yoshi’s New Island on 3DS, which of course is aimed at entirely different demographic. Arriving the …
A week which sees the release of three cartoon tie-ins and little else sounds like a total write off. When South Park and Pac-Man are involved though, you know you’re in good company. The often delayed South Park: The Stick of Truth is the runaway headliner, and word has it that the extra development time …
Of the three major releases out this week, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare has been getting the steadiest reviews. The majority of critics were surprised to find that it’s a clever little shooter, with balanced character classes and decent maps. Scores for the Xbox-exclusive include 8/10 from both The Official Xbox Magazine and God is …
For a second week in a row it’s a busy week for new releases, even if the term ‘new’ is pushing it a bit for two of them. Rayman Legends, for one, isn’t all that fresh. The armless chap makes a belated appearance on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this week, available for around …
It’s such a varied week for new releases that there’s bound to be something out to pique your interest. And in the middle of February too? How unforeseen. Not one but two big name retail releases are competing for your hard earned money – Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and The LEGO Movie Videogame. Like …
Once destined to fill gamer’s Christmas stockings, Fable Anniversary is finally with us this week. Having read a few reviews though, we aren’t entirely sure if that extra development time was as well spent as it could have been. Eurogamer and GamesRadar – amongst others – speak of weird bugs and glitches, stuttering frame-rates, texture …
It was only a few weeks ago that Crystal Dynamics revealed Tomb Raider did eventually go on to make profit, contradicting everything Square-Enix said about it not selling as well as forecast. Then again, they did have some frankly absurd expectations – it sold 3.4 million in its first month, when Square expected a ridiculous …
Say hello to the first Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita retail release of the year – Dragon Ball Z – Battle of Z. Yeah, it has been a slow month. Whereas the majority of Dragon Ball Z games have taken the form of one-on-one brawlers in the past, this one offers online battle …
There are not one but two titles featuring Nintendo’s plumbing duo out this week, but there’s no need to go rolling your eyes – they couldn’t be any more different from one another. Like NES Remix, the Wii U’s Dr. Luigi has seemingly been knocked up on a tight schedule to fill a void on …
Christmas has only just been shoved back into the loft, and so unsurprisingly there are very few new games up for perusal this week. Maybe for those with impending credit card bills that’s not an entirely a bad thing. Randomly generated survival romp Don’t Starve on PS4 is the biggest release, available free to PlayStation …
