This Week’s Games Rising Star’s Little King’s Story on Wii has been likened to Nintendo’s Pikmin. So what day did they choose to release it? On the same day as the Wii re-release of Pikmin 2, of course! Surely they can’t have planned for that to happen? Both are very good games though, and well …
This Week’s Games Two games that have been knocking around on the release schedules for eons are finally out today. Recommended DS FPS Dementium has seen a change of publisher while the delay behind CID: The Dummy (which stands for Crash Impact Dummy: The Dummy, oddly) is a bit of a mystery. I reckon it …
This Week’s Games Fancy a new game to play while munching on Easter eggs this weekend? Sadly your choices are limited at best. On PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 just one game makes it way to shelves – The Godfather II. Eurogamer didn’t really like it, giving it a 4. It’s probably best to wait …
This Week’s Games The DSi hits shelves this week at a rather pricey £149.99. Many high street stores will let you have one for half price if you trade in your DS Lite though. You’d think that Nintendo would have a big new release to go alongside it, right? Wrong – there’s just a handful …
This Week’s Games Blimey, there’s quite a lot out this week. But what does any of it mean? I’ll try to work it out as I go along. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is for Wii and Nintendo DS, and the two versions are compatible in multiplayer. Reviews: quite good. Driving action thing …
This Week’s Games That headline is a apt one as both MadWorld on Wii and Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure on DS are out this week. They’ve both been getting reviews scores of around 7 or 8, making them worth a look. Shame the same can’t be said about Castlevania: Judgment, which got very …
This Week’s Games So, Resident Evil 5. It hasn’t turned out to be as good as everybody hoped, but it’s still worth a play through. It will undoubtedly be #1 next week though, regardless of the bounty of 7/10 review scores. Another game out this week that hasn’t scored as high as it might have …
This Week’s Games Game have been publishing quite a few exclusives recently (as in, titles can only buy in Game) and this week another two join their growing list – lush looking 2D brawler Battle Fantasia on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and Buffy on Nintendo DS. Battle Fantasia is from the team behind Guilty …
This Week’s Games Ping! Ping! Ping! That’s the sound of Microsoft and Sony flicking elastic bands at each another. It’ll be genuinely interesting to see what does better in next week’s chart – Halo Wars or Killzone 2. There are more 360s out there than PlayStation 3s, but a Halo-themed RTS isn’t going to be …
This Week’s Games There’s bound to be something out this week to tickle your fancy. Street Fighter IV has been getting excellent reviews and it’s also surprisingly cheap online – £27.99 at HMV seems a sensible buy. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is also said to be jolly good fun (as 50 Cent himself …
This Week’s Games It’s Friday the 13th, the scariest day possible. So what do we have released today? Hotel for Dogs, Disney’s Bolt, Ben 10 and Petz. Though admittedly they’re all on DS, hardly the format of choice for developers trying to scare people. FEAR 2: Project Origin sounds more appropriate. Unless I’m completely out …
This Week’s Games Plenty of interesting new games for DS owners this week. There’s the evergreen RPG Chrono Trigger, Age of Empires, Konami’s Time Hollow and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and also Nintendo’s TV-advertised Mystery Case Files: Millionheir. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 only have two new games out – the motorbike-laden Burnout Paradise: …
This Week’s Games I hope you like animals, because EA’s SimAnimals on Wii and DS is the only game out this week. Papery thing NGamer quite liked it, comparing it to Viva Pinata. Next week is looking a bit more lively with Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Chrono Trigger, Pikmin and …
This Week’s Games It’s not a very exciting week for new releases, but it’s January so you’d expect as much. Skate 2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 looks like it has built on the last game – which was very good – while My Fitness Coach on Wii sounds like a worthy alternative to …
This Week’s Games EA continue to wring their The Lord of the Rings license for every last penny, releasing The Lord of the Rings: Conquest on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PC this week. It’s by Pandemic – the Mercenaries and Full Spectrum Warrior people – but don’t go thinking it’s any good. …
