Every Nintendo format from the N64 onwards has received an Animal Crossing game, so it stands to reason that the series will appear on Wii U at some point. Here are five ideas we’d like to see in the future. Metal Detectors The museum has always been Animal Crossing’s focal point – something to fill …
Even though this unexpected ‘special episode’ is a spin-off rather than something more substantial, Telltale has weaved yet another incredibly compelling story. Well, five short stories to be precise – 400 Days is set during various intervals of the outbreak, with five bite-sized chapters to play through. Each lasts around twenty minutes and introduces a …
In a quiet week for the UK chart, The Last Of Us becomes the first game this year to take the top spot for four consecutive weeks. So well done to all involved. Minecraft holds steady at #2, then it’s FIFA 13 up a place at #3 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf down a place …
If you’re thinking that Activision publishing a Deadpool game is a little out of the blue, then we’d whole heartily agree. The ‘merc with a mouth’ may be well known by the comic book clique, but is still relatively unheard of outside of superhuman fandom. You’d think that a game to tie-in with the upcoming …
We’re glad Namco-Bandai didn’t pick Pac-Man to star in an endless runner – we find it slightly disturbing that the yellow fellow somehow sprouted limbs, not to mention that giant nose. Instead, the publisher has picked good old Garfield for a spot of never-ending running. Perhaps not the most obvious character to headline such a …
We think it’s far to say that due to digital distribution we won’t ever face another notorious ‘summer game drought’. There may only be two retail releases arriving this week, but there’s more than triple that out on the download services. Those two retail releases are Project X Zone on 3DS and the budget-priced stealth …
Twenty minutes. That’s how long it took us to play through this space shuttle-based survival horror. You’d think that a game as short as this would be impossible to recommend, but that’s not the case. At 80 MSP it’s about the same price as a Cornetto, and is just as delectable. The crew of the …
Talk about making a bad first impression. Just like Doritos Crash Course 2 – the last free-to-play Xbox Live title – Spartacus Legends requires a constant connection to a server to play. Our first session was a dismal experience – even cycling through menus resulted in minute-long loading screens, while online battles stuttered with infuriating …
With a third week at the top of the UK chart, the public evidently loves The Last of Us as much as the critics. That means the Xbox 360 retail release of Minecraft misses out on the top spot, but #2 isn’t a bad start. Animal Crossing: New Leaf and FIFA 13 each drop a …
When footage of Oddworld New ‘N’ Tasty was shown during the special E3 Nintendo Direct it caused a bit of a stir on the social networking sites. It’s easy to understand why – a lot of people have fond memories of the playing the Oddworld games, with Abe said to be very popular with female …
I bloody love a match-three puzzler, and the tile-swapping variety is that rarest of things: a game mechanic born on a controller that actually benefits from a touch screen. Certainly that’s one reason there are so many on iOS. And very nice they are too. Increasingly though games are playing with the formula – games …
You may recall we were concerned about Activision’s Deadpool game after hearing that it’ll be less-than-full-price and that developer High Moon was being downsized upon the game’s competition. Were we right to be concerned? Perhaps. It’s a short game with little replay value, which we assume is why Activision dropped the price to around the …
Released in 1995, Tails Adventure was one of the final big name releases for the Game Gear. With the Saturn and PlayStation on the horizon, and Pokémon causing a stir on Game Boy, most people had already considered Sega’s battery draining beast to be way past its prime. We think it’s fair to say that …
Usually retail compilations of PSN or XBLA titles are very bare-boned affairs. A few don’t even have a main menu in place, instead simply plonking their contents into your game library. When thatgamecompany is involved with something though, nothing is ever ‘usual’. Retailing at £15 – give or take a quid or two – Journey …
Who’s a good boy? Naughty Dog are good boys – The Last of Us sits at the top of the UK top 40 for a second week running. The delightful Animal Crossing: New Leaf remains at #2 for a second week also. FIFA 13 and Tomb Raider are at #3 and #4 respectively, with FIFA …
