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 …
So, Transformers: The Game. If you haven’t the time to read our review, here’s a quick rundown: it looks really nice, and smashing stuff up then lobbing it around is fun, but the mission objectives are blander than a stale cheese sandwich and the boss battles are devoid of all creativity. In the opening FMV …
When the new-look Transformers models were shown off for the first time, fans moaned about Bumblebee being turned from a Volkswagen Beetle into a Chevrolet Camaro. The creators explained that it was because they didn’t want their super-realistic movie to include a bright yellow clone of Disney’s Herbie, which makes perfect sense to us. Fans …
The first Stuntman game was frustrating to the extreme, resembling a memory test rather than a racing game in places. This fact wasn’t helped by the way that every time you had to restart a level – which was pretty often – it had to load again from scratch. Thanks to modern technology, there are …
Peter Moore’s only gone and left Microsoft, hasn’t he? The former Sega man – who will therefore always be of interest to me – is moving to EA, heading up the EA Sports Label. Moore worked for Reebok at one point, so he’s got all the requisite experience. Probably. Don Mattrick – once an EA …
Rockstar have announced their second Wii game. It’s not a Wii-make of Canis Candem Edit or any of the recent Grand Theft Autos, but rather the year-old surprise Xbox 360 hit Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis. They’re going for the casual market, it would seem, which is probably a safe bet given that their next …
A 16 year old boy from Norfolk got more than he bargained for when he bought a PlayStation 2 off eBay – inside the box was €65,400 (£44,000). He didn’t get the two games promised from the seller, although it’s unlikely that he’s too peeved about that. How do you fit that amount of money …
Our original plan was to print off an English translation guide to Link’s latest from GameFAQs, and have a solid blast in order to bring you a nice fact-packed review. Things haven’t quite gone to plan though, mainly because the game’s quite text heavy, and as such we felt we were missing out on a …
Decathletes, announced today by publisher Ghostlight, could also have been a contender for ‘Trying to Boost Sales with a Near Trademark Infringing Title of the Week’. At least they’re honest though: “Our goal is to create a highly realistic athletics simulator whilst maintaining a compelling pick up and play game style akin to titles such …
