You’re spoiled for choice this week – there’s even a new 3DS game out. Fair enough it’s only Puzzle Bobble Universe but that’s still better than another one of Ubisoft’s half-arsed conversions. Portal 2 is by far the ‘big one’ – critics haven’t been able to find enough words to praise it enough it would …
Having sold 3 million copies of Michael Jackson: The Experience on Wii, DS and PSP, Ubisoft are now ready to unleash the late ‘King of Pop’ onto Kinect and PlayStation Move. It’s not the only Kinect game out this week either – Fantastic Pets also joins Jackson. There’s a demo on Xbox Live if you’re …
A new Duke Nukem is hitting shop shelves this week. Not, not that one, but rather Duke Nukem: Critical Mass on DS. It has nothing to do with Take-Two or Gearbox – it’s being published by Deep Silver and is part of a trilogy. There’s a little bit of history behind it: developers Apogee thought …
I think I’m correct in saying that EA has been keeping Shift 2: Unleashed rather low key. They’ve also removed the Need for Speed name from it which is odd; it’s not as if it would harm sales. Reviews have been good though: Eurogamer gave it an 8, praising the social features. If realistic racing …
I’ve already given my two cents on the 3DS launch line-up, but if you missed it and can’t be bothered to click here, then here’s a quick run down. Super Street Fighter IV, Nintendogs + Cats, Ridge Racer 3D and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars should be on the top of your list. PES 2011 3D: …
It has been a rough week for THQ. Their orders for Homefront were slashed due to it ‘only’ having a Metacritic rating of 75%, but then they bounced back after 375k copies were sold in the US on launch day. For new IP in a crowded genre that’s not bad going. General opinion is that …
Let’s start with not a particularly obvious game – Stoked: Big Air Edition on 360. In the US both Stoked and this semi-sequel were released within just a couple of months of one another. We received Stoked in 2009 but it has taken two whole years for Big Air Edition to find a European publisher. …
THQ has a new peripheral out this week for you to consider – the uDraw ‘Gametablet’ for Wii. It’s £49.99 on Amazon with uDraw Studio – a price that I don’t think is too steep seeing how much DJ Hero and Wii Fit were when they were first released. Joining it are Pictionary and Dood’s …
Hello, *expletive deleted*. You know which *expletive deleted* game is out today, don’t you? That’s right mother *expletive deleted*-ing Bulletstorm – a game best described as Gears of War meets The Club. Unlike *expletive deleted* Gears of War though, this is available for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Reviews have been mostly *expletive deleted* …
After the insane popularity of Street Fighter IV, I’d say that there’s a good chance Marvel vs Capcom 3 will take the top spot of the chart next week. Reviews have been solid, although Eurogamer did point out that there wasn’t a great amount of unlockables. They also said that the last boss is a …
Are developers holding a contest behind our backs to see who can keep their audience waiting the longest? It bloody well feels like it – Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo 5 were five long years apart, which also happens to be the time-span between Test Drive: Unlimited and its sequel. With the troubles Atari …
This week would have been all about vastly improved RPG sequel Two Worlds 2, but as reported by Eurogamer it has been delayed not once but twice over the last few days. It’s now pencilled in for a 25th February release, due to a large amount of stock being wrecked on route from China to …
There are three cheery and colourful games out this week and one violent and grizzly. Well, you could count the Yogi Bear movie tie-in as a grizzly game I suppose. Arf! That violent game in question is Dead Space 2, which has set lots of tongues waggling…and all for good reasons – it improves on …
If there’s one game that has been making reviewers smile recently it’s LittleBigPlanet 2. This time round you’re not limited to just making levels to explore but full arcade-like games. All well and good, but there’s a chance Sony might yank your creations if they’re too close to the arcade originals – somebody made a …
The first games of 2011 are here and they’re something of an odd bunch. Capcom’s Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on DS is the highlight thanks to a string of strong review scores. The cheapest price seems to be £23.47 on Amazon unless anybody knows different. There’s also Kingdom Hearts Re:coded on DS, which is an …
