This Week’s Games The seemingly brilliant FIFA 10 is out this week, so you can probably guess now what will be #1 in the charts on Monday. The supermarkets are having a price war on this one, with Tesco being the cheapest at £24.97 followed by Asda at £26.71. The DS version isn’t out until …
This Week’s Games You can count the amount of spy related games out today on no less than three fingers. There’s the better than expected MySims Agents on Wii and DS, Capcom’s mediocre Spyborgs on Wii and the smashing Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box on DS. Well, Professor Layton is probably more of a detective …
This Week’s Games Xbox 360 owners might be jealous that Katamari Forever is released on PlayStation 3 this week but they really shouldn’t feel green – they’ve already had an exclusive Katamari game in the form of Beautiful Katamari. Game are asking a stupid £44.99 for Katamari Forever but it’s available for a lot less …
This Week’s Games Batman: Arkham Asylum could be pushed off the top of the chart next week, but it’s hard to say by which game as there are no less than four potential chart-topping titles out this week. The stupidly expensive The Beatles: Rock Band (£179.99, if you haven’t seen it in the shops yet) …
This Week’s Games Now here’s something that hasn’t happened for a long time – the PSP is the console with the most new releases out this week. Three of them are worth a look too: Dissidia: Final Fantasy and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny have been getting glowing reviews while IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey (also …
This Week’s Games Batman: Arkham Asylum, then. Not only is it the best Batman game ever, but also one of the best games ever. The only bad word I’ve heard about it is that the boss battles are a bit dull. Will it be #1 next week? I would have thought so seeing there hasn’t …
This Week’s Games If we forget the rubbish like Sudoku Ball Detective on Wii and DS and Music Maker Rockstar on PlayStation 2 there is only one real game of note out this week – Wolfenstein on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The average review score on the ever helpful GameRankings is 79%. IGN said …
This Week’s Lame Games It’s a very poor week for new releases. How poor? Well, the most interesting thing out isn’t even a new game – it’s the cheapy cheap Grand Theft Auto Trilogy for the PlayStation 2. On all formats there’s the movie tie-in G-Force, which has nothing to do with the infamous anime …
This Week’s Games Wii Sports has become the best selling game ever, if only because it’s bundled with the Wii itself. Will Wii Sports Resort repeat its success? I doubt it, but it’s bound to do great things in the chart next week. Major Minors Majestic March is also out now on Wii. It’s from …
This Week’s Games There isn’t a great deal out this week, folks. Oxygen’s Hysteria Hospital: Emergency Ward is available on both DS and Wii and looks almost identical to Theme Hospital, which isn’t a bad thing. Oxygen don’t exactly have a good track record though, so maybe approach with caution. Only one for Xbox 360 …
This Week’s Games The summer is here! Or at least, it is if this week’s rather slim looking release list is to go by. If you can stomach the clichéd sci-fi setting then The Conduit on Wii might be up your alley. Reviews have been around the 7 mark. Unless you read EDGE, who gave …
This Week’s Games Two games out this week scream big sales at me: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. There aren’t many reviews of EA’s latest Potter efforts yet, but the pattern seems to be: console versions reasonable, handheld versions not. Needless to say, it looks like yet another …
This Week’s Games Is it Christmas already? With the amount of new games out today you’d think so – there are 12 new Wii games alone. The big multi-format ones though are Overlord 2, Fight Night Round 4, Transformers 2 and Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The Wii gets Another Code: R and …
This Week’s Games It’s a bit odd that the first game to use the Wii MotionPlus is a third party title, but then again EA and Nintendo are on very good terms at the moment. The device on it’s own will set you back £19.99, or you can get it with EA Sports Grand Slam …
This Week’s Games THQ are full of surprises – Saints Row 2 was a decent alternative to GTA IV and if the reviews are to go by then Red Faction Guerrilla can hold its weight against any other FPS you care to mention. Codemaster’s Fuel – which looks a lot like Pure – is also …
