Just about anything can be passed off as art these days. A balloon with a happy face drawn on with a black biro. A dog poo on a lolly stick. A carton of Ribena with a six inch nail through it. A photo of a nun handing out grenades to children… This rather disturbing resin …
Back in March, Bizarre Creations went on record to say that Geometry Wars Evolved on Xbox 360 was meant to be a free gift for the hardcore. Whether they wanted it to come pre-installed on the HDD instead of puzzler Hectic is unclear, but to cut a long story short: the trippy blaster ended up …
It’s not the most interesting of weeks in chart land, so keeping your brain switched on while your eyes skim these words might take some effort. Crackdown has seen the most action – obviously due to the elusive Halo 3 beta invite – and is now back in the top ten, up from #19 to …
The new issue of N Gamer magazine has a special one page preview of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Special, because they’ve managed to write five whole paragraphs despite details being almost non-existent. You’ve got to hand it to them. All we know is that Rayman has managed to sneak into the Rabbid’s base – located …
SBK: 07 sadly doesn’t stand for Snow Boards Kids 07 but is instead based on the Superbike World Championship. Reviews suggest it’s quite good and it would be nice if it did well – publishers Black Bean Games haven’t had a hit yet despite their last few racing games being decent. Also on PlayStation 2 …
Last week Sega held their E3 replacement; this week it was Sony’s turn to show off some shiny new polygons at their Spring Gamer’s Day 2007. Don’t expect to read anything PlayStation 2 related in this article – the show was dedicated to PlayStation 3 and PSP. It has finally been confirmed what the devil …
In an effort to make the PSP interesting again, and emulate the success of the PS3’s PlayStation Store, Sony have announced that they’ll be selling PSP games online directly through the PSP this autumn (in the US at least), with the PSP Store. It’s about time really – we were sure Japan had its own …
Now here’s something rarer than Milky Bar Chunky chocolate bars – a budget game that’s actually worth more than five minutes of your time. There’s a simple reason for this though – they’ve used Nintendo’s loveable Pikmin as source material. Don’t call the lawyers just yet as it isn’t a complete clone. Plot: Darwin the …
Midway went through a bleak patch a few years ago after the likes of Haven, Freaky Flyers, Dr. Muto and the 3D re-make of Defender failed to perform at retail. A re-think was required and some bright spark decided that they’d be better off making some decent games that people actually want to play. The …
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto was quoted in an interview as saying, “I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to.” Perhaps it didn’t sound as pompous originally. Now Halo creators Bungie have reacted in an interview with Joystiq, saying: “Yeah, well. …
The Japanese website for Harvest Moon: Tree of Peace on Wii is now up and packed full of freshly picked screenshots. As you can see, or at least will be able to see once you’ve clicked on the link, the art direction is slightly different from the GameCube Harvest Moon titles, with a softer tone. …
Last week’s release of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars on 360 hasn’t been able to shift Spider-Man 3 off the top spot. Not surprising really, seeing that the PlayStation 2 version has been sighted for as little as £22.99 on the high street. Instead, the celebrated RTS settles for second place. Final Fantasy III has …
What does £5 mean to you? A week’s pocket money? A couple of pints of lager? The bus fare into town and a cinema ticket? Activision have something else in mind. They think that by knocking a fiver off Spider-Man 3 (it’s £24.99 in most stores) they can be excused for its shoddiness, and hopefully …
When the original Driver was released on PSone, it was on the cover of every games mag and street parties were held up and down the country in celebration. The sequel also received a lot of attention, as did Driv3r, albeit for the wrong reasons. Skip forward to 2007 and it’s a different tale: Driver …
It was rumoured a few months ago that the next Star Wars Battlefront would be a single format exclusive. It was assumed by pretty much everybody that this format would be Xbox 360, given its huge online user base. We’re quite surprised to learn, then, that the format on the receiving end of Star Wars …
