Kinect Sports Rivals – swing and a miss?

There’s more riding on Kinect Sports Rivals than you may expect – Microsoft hopes that it’ll reignite people’s passion for the motion controlled device, just like the original Kinect Sports did back on Xbox 360.

Gran Turismo 6 and Flappybalt in perfect harmony

Console games are bloated dinosaurs! Mobile games are stupid time wasters! Both true. But that’s fine, when taken together. Take Gran Turismo 6, which I quickly tired of before even playing, due to the initial update and install. But I got a lot done in the time GT6 took to do basically nothing. Canabalt is …

WarioWare leads second wave of GBA re-releases

Rambo: The Video Game – Review

It’s easy to forget that a couple of decades ago many publishers relied almost solely on movie tie-ins to turn a profit. It’s not quite as easy to forget just how awful the majority were – your current favourite movie being transformed into generic 2D platformer was about as much as you could have wished …

GBA classics advance to Wii U

This week sees the release of the first batch of GBA titles on Wii U. If you’re thinking that the 3DS would be a better fit for the GBA’s back catalogue, then you certainly aren’t alone. We assume the Wii U’s barren release schedule may have had something to do with Nintendo’s decision to bring …

Combining Layton’s puzzle solving and Phoenix Wright’s courtroom drama, it has seemingly gone down a treat with fans of both series. Fans of Layton in particular will no doubt …

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes – Review

There are similarities playing through Ground Zeroes’ main campaign for the first time and taking a trip to the cinema to watch an anticipated blockbuster movie. Not so much in terms of Hideo’s love for lengthy cinematic cutscenes – Ground Zeroes’ interludes are actually surprisingly brief – but rather in regards to the visual splendour, …
