Danish Primary Coloured Brick Indiana Jones – or Lego Indiana Jones, for short – doesn’t appear to be up to the standard of Lego Star Wars. GamesRadar gave it at 5 while Eurogamer liked it a bit more, awarding it at 7. Ninja Gaiden II has been getting mixed reviews too, but then so did …
Puzzle Quest is a game with a lot of fans, but it would seem that not all of them are content. During a recent unveiling of their next game – Neopets Puzzle Adventure – CEO Steve Fawkner revealed that a bug in the PSP version led to developers Infinite Interactive receiving death threats. Six, in …
There’s an article in Word magazine (I refuse to call it ‘The Word’, as it’s now called, because that’s stupid) this month about Guitar Hero. It’s entirely in praise of the game, obviously, because it’s excellent. And I say that as someone who’s rubbish at the game – and indeed all games which require any …
Race Driver: GRID gets off to a good start going into the top 40 at a respectable #2. Grand Theft Auto IV stays at the top, Haze drops from #3 to #6 while Rock Band also drops from #6 to #12. Sega Superstars Tennis and Call of Duty 4 are back into top 10 at …
I love call centres. They’re so very, very helpful. Especially when you have what seems to be an uncommon problem. My Xbox 360 goes a bit mental after about five minutes, distorting the display so that you can still sort of see what’s going on, but it’s all horribly pixellated, and generally a bit broken. …
???????? ????? ????????I love the Daily Mail. Well, not love. I mean I like it. Well not like it. I’m ambivalent to the Daily Mail, well not ambivalent as such. I despise the Daily Mail. However sometimes they are so wrong that they’re funny. Like Hitler, or Lithuania’s entry into the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. …
While Ubisoft continue to employ increasingly complicated subtitles, Codemasters seem to be keen on simple, four-letter subtitles. First Colin McRae: DiRT, and now Race Driver: GRID. I approve. Further, I suggest that this pattern should continue. For example, their fancy new license could be used for Formula One: FAST. And everyone except me seems to …
Just two games of note this week – Race Driver: GRID and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Looks like the DS version of GRID isn’t out for another month yet. You didn’t know there was a DS version? Oh! On Wii there are another couple of rubbish budget games …
This is a little batshit crazy. Thankfully it seems fairly tongue in cheek, though just the idea of Guitar Hero on the DS with a hand grip add-on sounds hugely embarrassing.
Shazam! Wii Fit has vanished completely out of the top 40 chart. Clearly Nintendo are having trouble keeping up with demand, rather than everybody deciding to spend £70 at Burger King instead. GTA IV continues to hold onto the top spot, PC thing Age of Conan goes in at #2, Haze at #3 and Rock …
Renowned artist Maurits Cornelis Escher died in 1972, so not much, although if he were still breathing he probably wouldn’t be impressed with the artwork Sony has chosen for the European version of Echochrome – a game heavily influenced by Escher’s amazing artworks. That rainbow is false advertising – judging by the screenshots this innovate …
If you’re thinking that a game designed by Steven Spielberg would undoubtedly feature aliens, dinosaurs and robots – or even robotic alien dinosaurs – then you’re completely mistaken. Instead the stars are chunky block-like animals, but all signs suggest that these oddly sinister looking creatures aren’t anything to do with Spielberg as early builds were …
Thought £69.99 for Wii Fit was steep? EA’s Rock Band costs twice as much, although you do get drums, guitar and a mic. Game said they had trouble getting enough stock for pre-orders which goes to show that there’s demand despite the high price tag. It’s an Xbox 360-exclusive in Europe, at least for a …
The first batch of reviews for the oft-delayed Haze are in. Sadly, so far signs suggest that the delay hasn’t done the game any favours with a current average review score of 55% on GameRankings. This includes a poor 4.5 from IGN who claim that the story is weak, the AI poor and the visuals …
