In a week were indie games showed how far into the mainstream they have come – thanks to a showing of Indie Game: The Movie on Channel 4 – it’s interesting to find myself reviewing a game that’s destined to be hidden away on Microsoft’s Xbox indie section for the rest of eternity. Indeed, indie …
While it’s true that visuals aren’t everything, Swap Force has an incredibly luxurious look and feel to it that enforces the fact Activision aren’t just relying on heavy promotion to sell the series. http://mirziamov.ru/mfo-online/zaim-ekapusta.html Dare we say that some may be surprised to learn that there’s a genuinely excellent game under the occasionally nauseatingly colourful …
Earlier this year Capcom did something rather unexpected and brought the 3DS-exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations to consoles. By vastly improving the visuals and adding new modes Capcom just about managed to pull off this somewhat questionable stunt. Konami have now followed suit by bringing the 3DS’s Mirror of Fate to both PSN and XBLA. Out …
микрозайм на банковÑкую карту3.66 million people in the UK alone watch The Cube on their googlebox. We’ve only ever caught passing snippets of the Schofield starring game show while channel flicking, but even so that was still enough to convince us that it’s better suited to a videogame treatment than the likes of Deal or …
Considering how heavily Microsoft were pushing the Kinect when the Xbox One was first shown, it’s a little strange that Zoo Tycoon downplays the fact it offers optional Kinect support. The case doesn’t even feature the notorious ‘Better with Kinect’ branding on the front, instead just briefly mentioning motion controls on the reverse. To find …
It’s hard not to be cynical whenever Activision announces a new licensed game. This is the publisher who gave the world the not only terrible but downright offensive Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, along with an almost countless number of movie tie-ins that have been hastily knocked out over the years. We did have …
We feel safe in saying that there’s no other cartoon series currently more deserving of a videogame tie-in than Adventure Time. WayForward showed us late last year that they have a fondness for Finn and Jake with the US-only ‘Hey Ice King, Why Did You Steal Our Garbage?!’ while show creator Pendleton Ward is clearly …
Rather than become one of EA’s annual updates, DICE has been allowed two years – if not more – to get Battlefield 4 shipshape. Boy does it show. If their Frostbite 3 engine doesn’t push current tech to its fullest, then it must be extraordinarily close. Not only is it something of a treat for …
It can be fascinating to discover how a pre-conceived mental image of something can be entirely different from the reality. After watching the trailers for this FPS prior to release we thought we were in for a simplistic run and gunner, much like The Farm 51’s own Painkiller: Hell and Damnation. What we’ve ended up …
The problem with releasing a rhythm-action game on 3DS is that despite the handheld arguably still yet to hit its peak, it already has two very fine examples of the genre – Final Fantasy Theatrhythm and Sega’s Rhythm Thief. There’s no shame in settling for third place though, where is exactly where Natsume’s ghostly groove’em …
When gamers grumble about the imminent arrival of next-gen consoles, proclaiming that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 still do their job in a more than satisfactory manner, a little fact we like to bring up is that the Xbox 360 iteration of Black Ops took up so much space that only a paltry 1MB …
You wouldn’t think it, but having a familiarity with marine life provides something of an advantage when playing this 3DS bait’em up. To progress from a fishing novice to a master of all things fishy, challenges have to be beaten in order to unlock new fishing areas. The majority of these challenges involve catching certain …
We were pleased to discover that the TMNT franchise hasn’t undergone a total overhaul for the new CGI Nickelodeon series, and ergo this timely tie-in. Other than a handful of minor changes – such as Baxter Stockman now stomping around in a mech-suit rather than turning into some grotesque man/fly hybrid – they’re still the …
Back in the days when arcade machines were synonymous with gaming rather than gambling, a simple way for developers to see if they had a hit on their hands was to put it on test in a local arcade. If a player died repeatedly yet still continued to put money into the machine it was …
If we were handed the Hot Wheels license we would take it down the same path as 2008’s Speed Racer tie-in and create a neon-hued racer with gut-retching tracks full of loop-the-loops and corkscrews. Due to the subject material it would unlikely be a decent substitute for a new F-Zero or WipEout, but it may …
