An abundance of obscure Japanese RPGs aside, the PSP hasn’t exactly had the best of the best when it comes to software this year. Exclusive titles have been few and far between, and even when they do appear they often fail both critically and commercially. Sadly this top-down tactical shooter fails to buck the trend… …
They’re an odd couple, Kane and Lynch. One’s a “flawed mercenaryâ€, though perhaps better described as a brutal killer, and the other’s a paranoid schizophrenic, although perhaps better described as a foul mouthed paranoid schizophrenic mass murderer. We get the impression Eidos were trying to stir up a bit of controversy with the game’s main …
I’ve written about my love of Super Mario 64 – the best game ever, FACT – many times. But I’m definitely not assuming that Super Mario Galaxy isn’t as good without giving it a chance. So to prove it, after playing Super Mario Galaxy for only a few hours, here are three ways that it’s …
Alarm bells were ringing when the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine gave Need for Speed Pro Street an incredibly negative write-up, and it turns out they were right – US reviews have been less than great. It’s still tipped to be Christmas number one though, but I reckon Guitar Hero III could be in with a …
Like Stuntman: Ignition, TimeShift is another game that was once being published by the cash-strapped Atari but was flogged off to another publisher (Sierra in this case) to help with their money woes. It was initially due out late 2005 on the original Xbox but has since been delayed more times than humanly possible to …
Sega have had a rummage through their back catalogue and have decided to dust off a couple of old classics. House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return is set to follow in the footsteps of Ghost Squad on Wii, in that it’ll be billed as a Wii Zapper title. Going by the screenshots, House …
As the ever clever Matt predicted, Super Mario Galaxy hasn’t had an easy first week. It enters at only #5 in the multiformat chart – and splitting multiformat games into their individual versions, it’s still only at #3. Assassin’s Creed takes the top spot, the Xbox 360 version inevitably doing more of the donkey work …
There shouldn’t be anything too remarkable about another Ratchet & Clank game, but this is the furry Lombax’s first adventure on the PlayStation 3, and more notably, one of the best presented games “ever!â€. For once we can actually use that word with some confidence – this really is the closest gaming has come to …
There’s only one game out today that matters, and that’s Left or Right – Ambidextrous Challenge on DS. Only joking: it’s Super Mario Galaxy on Wii… although Crysis on PC and Assassin’s Creed – which has been getting mixed reviews – could very well hamper Mario’s chart position next week. If the reviews are anything …
Game Informer has been given the world exclusive look at Vivendi’s previously secret Ghostbusters game. Earlier on in the year Zootfly were showing off an unofficial demo – rumour has it they compiled it to put to publishers, in the hope that they’d get the license for them – but according to the magazine Terminal …
Nintendo are good at spotting potential in a game. Take Chibi-Robo: Bandai were originally at the helm, and it was shaping up to be a bit of a mess, with crude-looking, predominantly brown environments. In stepped Nintendo, who gave it a bigger budget, a load of polish and a lot of love, the end result …
Xbox Live is five years old, and to celebrate they’re giving out some free stuff. Good for them. If you’re a current Live subscriber you can download Carcassonne for free, that is if you’re quick enough to snap it up between 12.01am on the the 15th and and midnight on the 16th. Even better, if …
It’s war not raw: Call of Duty 4 is the highest new entry at #1, followed closely by WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 at #2. The Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4 becomes the second fastest selling title on the format, behind only Halo 3. Honestly, why does anyone bother releasing anything but …
Forget all about Super Mario Galaxy – Blast Entertainment have announced that their Mr Bean platformer will be available from 30th November. It doesn’t look that bad visually – the characters in the cartoons series were drawn with thick outlines, which the developers have managed to incorporate into the cel-shading. It’s another ruddy collect ‘em …
EA recently said that they were going to pull their socks up when it comes to DS development, and you can’t argue with the effort they’ve put into this. It comes on the largest DS cart available, contains over twenty minutes of FMV, some 3,000 speech samples, a virtual Homer to play with and a …
