They Came from the Skies is a brilliantly titled upcoming PlayStation 2 budget effort from the purse-pleasing chaps at Midas. A quick trawl of Goggle fails to bring up even the tiniest jot of information – although Amazon do kindly point out that it’s a videogame – but going by the name alone we’re sold …
In its second week of release, the lacklustre Pirates of the Caribbean has managed to take the top spot of the chart. Darling Lara has to make to with entering at #2, with Spider-Man 3 down to third place. Shadowrun – which still hasn’t been reviewed by most websites – is in at a surprisingly …
It’s quite unusual that EA hasn’t “blessed” the 360 with a Medal of Honor game yet, especially when you consider that MoH: Vanguard was released on Wii just three months after the system reached Europe. But when MoH: Airbourne does finally reach Microsoft’s box, it will face competition not only from Activision’s competent Call of …
There’s nothing games websites like more than telling us things that aren’t going to happen, be it to debunk a rumour on a rival site, or apropos of nothing. They just love it! This, then, is the week in not news. » Eurogamer’s had an exceptional week of not news. We had the new Wolfenstein …
Tomb Raider Anniversary marks a decade of Lara Croft. It’s not ten years to this day though – the first Tomb Raider was actually released way back in winter 1997 on the humble Sega Saturn. Reviews suggest that this celebration of Lara is more Legends than Angel of Darkness, with Edge dishing out a handsome …
Simply for his own amusement, a Mr Sean ‘Squidi’ Howard is attempting to brainstorm 300 new game ideas in 300 days. That’s at least… one a day. He’s currently up to number 23 and already there have been some potential gems posted on his website, with Pellet Quest – a Pac-Man style RPG with dungeons …
A year ago, D3 Publishing were known for their Japanese budget releases and not much else. Twelve months on and they’ve done themselves proud, having released the likes of Puzzle Quest, Earth Defence Force 2017 and the Pikmin-like Darwin in the last few months alone. This arcade racer is their first console download effort, and …
I’m kind of surprised (but not very) that Pirates of the Caribbean hasn’t been able to shift Spider-Man 3 off the top spot of the chart. Instead it goes in at #2, with Mario Strikers Charged Football in at #3. Nintendo are probably quite happy with that. The painfully average TMNT is back on the …
Sod the recent brain training games – Tetris teaches you the most important skill you’ll ever need. Namely, how to pack a shopping bag properly. Before the block falling opus arrived some twenty years ago I used to put eggs at the bottom of the bag, cans of beans on top of loaves of bread …
THQ tend to stick to their cartoon licenses where handheld games are concerned. They decided to make the odd exception for 5th Cell’s Drawn to Life on DS though, which is just fine with us as it’s looking like a good chance to flex underused artistic muscles. It’s a 2D platformer in which you’re able …
It’s three weeks since I’ve last done one of these, which means you lucky folks get seven reviews today. So let’s not mess about with a stupid opening paragraph, and jump straight in. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest – SNES – 800 Points Donkey Kong Country is great. That is a fact, and …
“How many times have you been at a dinner party when some egghead keeps ranting about his IQ and SAT scores?” The answer, of course, is never. That doesn’t stop Midway from solving the non-existant problem though. “Well now, instead of punching him in the head, take the high road and challenge him to a …
They might have been able to create a perfect polygon copy of Johnny Depp, but if the reviews are anything to go by then Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is a bit on the fishy side. Will it knock Spider-Man 3 off the top spot? Place your bets… now! Mario Strikers Charged should …
Ubisoft just held Ubidays 2007 – their replacement for the E3 show. If you weren’t a journalist invited expenses paid to Paris, it probably wasn’t much of an event, but at least Ubisoft showed the world a bunch of new game trailers. Among the games shown were two with the name Tom Clancy in them …
» A new version of the PlayStation 3 firmware has been released, and do you know what? It’s quite good. Why? Because it enables upscaling of DVDs, PlayStation 2 and PSone games to HD resolutions. And that’s a sensible idea. » If you own a copy of Pokémon Ranger, then be sure to visit a …
