This Week’s Games This week could possibly be a record breaker for new game releases, with just over 50 (yes, 50) making an appearance – 24 on DS, 6 on PlayStation 2, 5 on Xbox 360, 8 on Wii, 2 on PSP and another 8 on PlayStation 3. There are some big releases in there …
This Week’s Games Blimey Charlie – this week is rammed with rent a car bulgarianew releases, with the Wii alone on the receiving end of thirteen shiny new games. Fallout 3 – out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC – is the big one, and I’m wondering how many people are going to buy …
This Week’s Games Without a whiff of sarcasm, it’s a good week for new releases. Fable II has been a long time coming but looks like being worth the wait, and both Far Cry 2 and EA’s twisted survival horror romp Dead Space have been getting a lot of positive attention. Then there’s Midnight Club: …
This Week’s Games So, Saints Row 2 has turned out to be pretty good. Early previews suggested that the developers had gone down the twisted and brutal path by turning up the violence, but from the looks of things in the last few months of development they’ve had a change of heart and turned it …
This Week’s Games Lego Batman is this week’s big game, available on all formats. Game are giving away a free keyring (a Lego Batman, unsurprisingly), with the PSP and PlayStation 2 versions available for a nice £19.99 each. Anybody want to guess what the next Lego game will be? I would say Harry Potter or …
This Week’s Games If it wasn’t for FIFA 09, this week would be an absurdly quiet one for new releases, with Zubo, SimCity Creator, Phoenix Wright and Dancing Stage SuperNOVA 2 being the only other titles. Supermarkets are having a mini price-war with FIFA this weekend – ASDA are selling the Xbox 360 and PlayStation …
This Week’s Games Can you stomach yet another war game? Ubisoft hopes so – Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and Brothers in Arms: Double Time for Wii are both out today. Hell’s Highway has been getting a lot of 7s and 8s in the press and is apparently a bit on the gory side. Double …
This Week’s Games Sega’s Yakuza 2 on PlayStation 2 could very well end up being the last decent PlayStation 2 exclusive. Sure, there are plenty of games still on the way for the aging format, but most are toned-down conversions. If you liked Shenmue then buy it – it has lots in common with Sega’s …
This Week’s Games The credit crunch seems to have rubbed off on the gaming world. Supreme Commander is out on Xbox 360 this week for a hefty £29.99. The PC version, which came out over a year and a half ago, can easily be found for around a fiver. Then there’s a belated appearance for …
This Week’s Games I made a mistake in last week’s new game round up by claiming that Fable II is Microsoft’s next big first party Xbox 360 game. It isn’t, but don’t blame me – Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise has appeared out of almost nowhere. It’s meant to be good though, as is …
This Week’s Games After a few dull weeks, some games of note have finally surfaced. Too Human is the first of Microsoft’s big push of first party titles, with the next being Fable II. Reviews haven’t been amazing, despite a solid four years in development (plus another four before that), and general opinion appears to …
This Week’s Games There are five games out this week, but you’d probably have more fun tying some milk bottle tops to a piece of string and jingling it up and down. Funnily enough, all five are for DS – AMF Bowling, Carnival: Funfair Games, Ducati Moto, Mary King’s Riding School and Road to Vegas. …
This Week’s Games Game You can’t have any new games this week because you’ll spoil your dinner. Oh go on then, you can have one: Buzz Master Quiz on PSP. But don’t tell your father.
This Week’s Games It’s a good week for handhelds, if you’re looking through my eyes. Needless to say, I am looking through my eyes. What’s good about it? Well, echochrome for PSP for one thing. It’s a black and white puzzler all about perspective – if two parts of the maze aren’t joined, then rotate …
This week’s achievements in the field of selling an article in a few words. » PS3 problems resolved – Sony A bold claim indeed. But Eurogamer’s headline doesn’t tell quite the whole story: it’s the manufacturing problems which have been resolved. So not the chronic lack of interesting games, the ludicrous price, the stupid Spider-Man …
