Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 is out this week which in a way is ironic – as we were compiling this new release round up we found it hard to identify what this week’s big game is. Not that there isn’t anything decent out – it’s just a funny week of odds and sods. Football …
I don’t think we’ll ever understand publishers. Capcom’s ‘interactive anime’ Asura’s Wrath was pushed back from last month to this month, but what a day to choose to finally release it. Not only is it going up Mass Effect 3 but also Capcom’s own Street Fighter X Tekken. There’s Twisted Metal on PlayStation 3 and …
It shouldn’t be tricky to pick out what new releases take your fancy this week as there aren’t a lot of them. SSX is the big one. A few online retailers are still calling it ‘SSX: Deadly Descents’ even though EA dropped the sub-heading a few months back. Eurogamer surprised a few people by giving …
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 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 …
Just like last week, this week had us checking our calendar to make sure it really is only February. Catherine, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and The Darkness II are the big new releases and all are worthy of your time and money. Catherine is one of niche appeal though – it’s an interactive anime with …
After the quiet month of January, which would have been a new release write-off if it wasn’t for Resident Evil: Revelations, February has so many notable releases that it’s like October all over again. Say thank you to the nice Japanese men for Final Fantasy XIII-2, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Soul Calibur V …
We have Capcom to thank for January’s biggest new release – Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS. It’s also the only new game out this week. Good timing there, Capcom. Reviews have been mixed – EDGE gave it 6/10 (“the levels are a mishmash of beauty and blandness”) while Nintendo Gamer magazine dished out 90% and …
This week pQube kindly remind us that it’s winter by releasing Winter Sports 2012: Feel the Spirit on Wii, 3DS and PC. The promotional video includes no in-game footage to speak of, which is a little worrying, but one of the events included is ‘ice speedway’ (read: motorbikes on ice) which sounds pleasingly barmy. It’s …
In January the gaming industry is too bloated from high-calorie Christmas treats to be able to push any new games out of the proverbial door. All part from a few publishers, that is. Step forward Sega and Easy Interactive, who are this week releasing CRUSH3D on 3DS and Heroes of Hellas 2: Olympia on DS. …
There are still plenty of shopping days left until Christmas but the publishers seemingly aren’t aware of this – just four games are out this week. Just Dance 3 hits PlayStation 3 belatedly which should help it shoot even higher up the chart. It requires the PS Move and as such we wouldn’t be surprised …
The PSP has pretty much been ignored by publishers this winter, with just a few annual sport games and LEGO Harry Potter to see it through the bleak winter months. Square-Enix though are coming to the rescue – not only have they almost single-handedly kept the system in the public eye over the past year …
The home consoles did very well for themselves last week, with dozens of new renditions of big name franchises making an appearance. This week it’s the DS and 3DS that get to shine. Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call is this winter’s big DS offering from Nintendo. Us Europeans however aren’t quite getting the full …
It’s another good week for gamers. That’s providing you have healthy bank balance, at least – there are half a dozen big name titles out this week. The old-age question if whether Mario can blow stripy balloons up with his arse has finally been answered. As the image to the right shows, he can indeed. …
So here it is, Sony’s big Christmas game – Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Reviews have so far included 9 from EDGE, a 10 from Destructoid and 5/5 from The Guardian. Eurogamer caused a little bit of a fuss on the internet by giving it an 8 – they found it a little bit “narrowâ€. The …
