The thing that pleases us the most about New Leaf is that it’s on a handheld. Untold hours were wasted playing Animal Crossing on GameCube, and Let’s Go To The City on Wii was all well and good, but it’s 2005’s Wild World on the DS that we have the fondest memories of. For a …
Three. That’s how many of this week’s new releases are based around bikes, and each is different in their own little way. MotoGP 13 may seem like an acquired taste, but Eurogamer’s review makes it sound like a taste worth acquiring. They handed out a resounding 8/10 yesterday, claiming to to be a “lean, scrappy …
If we were asked to name three things Insomniac has brought to the world of videogames our reply would be something like this – purple talking dragons, wise-cracking robot sidekicks and over the top weaponry. Fuse features just one of these things, and you can probably guess which. If Fuse’s servers aren’t ghost towns in …
Earlier today we reviewed Shelter, a mobile game that puts a twist on the survival genre by blending turn-based card battles with tower defence elements. Industry veteran Chris Roberts was kind enough share some words regarding the game’s development, and also the future of the series. Shelter was made entirely by yourself. Did development go …
As long as developers are willing to explore beyond the boundaries of the usual third and first person shooters, we can live with the fact that zombie games aren’t going anywhere any time soon. just as much about defending and planning as it is about attacking Luck would have it, then, that Survivalist Games are …
Backed by a string of 10/10 review scores, The Last of Us has unsurprisingly become the new UK number one. The last time Sony took the top spot was with Uncharted: Golden Abyss over a year ago. Moreover, it’s the third fastest selling game of the year so far and also takes the accolade for …
Of the 11 games mentioned in Namco-Bandai’s press release, three of them star Pac-Man. That’s a resounding 36%, unless our calculator is borked. Let’s take a look at what the yellow fellow is getting up to. We enjoyed the Pac-Man World games, so we’re rather intrigued by 3D platformer Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. We …
We didn’t have to scratch ours heads for long to figure out why screenshots of Atlus’ movie tie-in R.I.P.D bare a sense of familiarly – it would appear to be a reworked version of the recent XBLA/PSN title God Mode. That’s not entirely a bad thing – the arena-based third-person shooter had a lot going …
Activision’s take of the TV show sensation includes a cheeky nod to Skyrim – an achievement called ‘I used to be human like you’ which is gained by shooting a walker in the knee with an arrow. Why are we telling you this right at the start of our review? Because it’s the only thing …
Never mind all the big new games being shown off at E3. This week sees the release of two new titles that you can play now. Well, from Friday officially. The Last of Us and Animal Crossing: A New Leaf couldn’t be more opposite, but both are essential purchases. Late to the PS3 party? Have …
When PopCap first set out to create Plants vs. Zombies we very much doubt that even in their wildest dreams would their twee little “flower defence†game be transformed into third person shooter. A shoot’em up powered by Battlefield 4‘s Frostbite 3 engine, no less. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is an announcement from E3 …
If we were asked to describe the special E3 Nintendo Direct in one word, that word would be “safeâ€. The itinerary read like a list of everything we expected, with very little in the way of surprises. That’s unless you count Bayonetta receiving a new haircut, anyway. Pokemon X & Y started the pre-recorded exposé …
On the console front, Sony clearly gave Microsoft a bloody nose last night. However, both the PS4 and Xbox One were slightly lacking in amazing new first party titles, so it was left to Ubisoft to come up with one of the most impressive new titles of the show. Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division is …
There are high expectations for this year’s E3 conferences. Microsoft filled in the blanks surrounding the Xbox One, and now it’s Sony’s turn to elaborate on the PlayStation 4. Specifically, what will it actually look like, and how excited should we really be? You can watch the video stream of Sony’s E3 conference below, which …
The quartet of titles forming this year’s Summer of Arcade promotion has been announced, and as always it’s an assortment that’ll cater for all tastes no matter how diverse. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows looks set to be one of Activision’s better licensed games, although to be fair that’s perhaps not saying …
