Obviously having paid a recent visit to Nintendo’s School of Pokemon Milking, Activision decided to release two Transformers games on DS – one starring the Autobots, the other the Decepticons. We aren’t stupid enough to buy both, but apparently they’re suitably different – not only do you get to play through the game from a …
A short while ago Sony got a scolding over Resistance on PlayStation 3 featuring a battle in Manchester Cathedral. What occurs in Global Defence Force isn’t as sacred, but within the first few minutes alone you can reduce Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament or the London Eye to a pile of rubble. If the …
In true licensed tat fashion, Ubisoft’s Surf’s Up is being released on every format going. Apparently the SNES version is prettier than the Mega Drive one as the SNES has a pallet of 32,768 colours compared to the Mega Drive’s 512. However, the SNES version costs a tenner more. But seriously: in the US it’s …
We’re not sure if a Dr. Who game is a good idea. Obviously it’ll sell loads and there are plenty of enemies for the developers to choose from, but the Doctor himself isn’t a superhero – he’s just a chap with a vast knowledge of the universe. And a glowing screwdriver. We’ll still buy it …
Actually, sod stupid kids – we feel sorry for the developers who had to work on Jamster Allstars. Why? Because all the characters are from those fucking annoying ringtones, brought to us by the company behind the similarly fucking annoying Crazy Frog. Didn’t all this guff blow over about a year ago anyway? Unlike the …
A few months ago Oxygen were being hush-hush over what King of Clubs entails, claiming it to be “this summer’s most unusual gameâ€. Going by name alone, The Official PlayStation 2 Magazine assumed it was a nightclub management sim and even wrote a news story reflecting that. That couldn’t be further from the truth: it’s …
Well, sort of. The new Argos catalogue has a couple of bizarre online game gizmos that are interesting enough to warrant an article on these hallowed pages. In our day the nearest we got to playing online was tying two cans together with string then shouting rude words in either end. Swypeout: Battle Racing is …
Flipendo! Harry Potter has been knocked off the top spot by Pokemon Diamond. Transformers: The Game stays at #2 with Pokemon Pearl at #3, thus pushing the pubescent wizard down to #4. Nintendo Europe must be pleased: three of their brain training titles also in the top ten, as well as Wii Play. Rugby 08 …
Although none instantly spring to mind, I’m sure that some videogames have made their first appearance at the annual Comic-Con in the past. This year there were quite a number, which might be down to the fact that E3 was scaled down. LEGO Indiana Jones was the biggest surprise; everybody thought that Travellers’ Tales would …
It wouldn’t be a surprise if Pokemon Diamond & Pearl goes on to be the best selling DS game of 2007, although it might struggle to knock Harry Potter and Transformers off their lofty perches in the chart. We reckon that Diamond will outsell Pearl though. There’s only one other DS game out this week, …
The tankers which bring fresh water to flooded areas are known as bowsers. Good that he can help.
Notorious ‘interactive’ cartoon thing Dragon’s Lair is being re-re-re-release on both HD-DVD and Nintendo DS later this year. The DS version will require the handheld to he held on its side, a la Brain Training, and will also feature voice recognition. We can give you the review score now if you like.
We don’t fully understand the idea behind the magnet peripheral that comes with the newly announced Slide Adventure: Mag Kid on DS, so bear with me. This Japanese TV advert would suggest that instead of controlling the main character – a caterpillar – you have to rub the DS over a solid surface to make …
Transformers: The Game hasn’t been able to shove Harry Potter off the top spot of the multiformat chart, but it’s lodged in at #1 in both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 charts. It would appear that Nintendo owners don’t care for colossal robots – it’s only #11 in the Wii chart and hasn’t even …
Just when we thought that Rockstar were playing it safe on Wii with Table Tennis as their next game, they go and announce a Wii version of the controversial Bully (nee Canis Candem Edit). The Xbox 360 will also be on the receiving end of Bully: Scholarship Edition, which is due out this winter. It’s …
