This on-rails shooter from Polish developer Teyon isn’t exactly the freshest game around – it was first released in the US way back in January. US publisher Mastiff allegedly chose not to send out review copies to US press, leaving reviewers to source their own. The few that did then bother to go out of …
The prospect of time travel isn’t quite as farfetched as you may think. Within moments of loading up this movie tie-in we were transported back to the days when almost every licensed game was a 2D platformer, filled to the brim with enemies defeated by a simple bonk on the head and countless spinning items …
Rather than being a straight-laced one-on-one brawler, Pacific Rim has more in common with one of the recent WWE or UFC games. Perhaps this was to be expected seeing as developer Yuke’s Co. knocks out WWE games on a sometimes bi-yearly basis. Fights are as slow and clunky as the colossal giants themselves The Japanese …
Even though this unexpected ‘special episode’ is a spin-off rather than something more substantial, Telltale has weaved yet another incredibly compelling story. Well, five short stories to be precise – 400 Days is set during various intervals of the outbreak, with five bite-sized chapters to play through. Each lasts around twenty minutes and introduces a …
If you’re thinking that Activision publishing a Deadpool game is a little out of the blue, then we’d whole heartily agree. The ‘merc with a mouth’ may be well known by the comic book clique, but is still relatively unheard of outside of superhuman fandom. You’d think that a game to tie-in with the upcoming …
Twenty minutes. That’s how long it took us to play through this space shuttle-based survival horror. You’d think that a game as short as this would be impossible to recommend, but that’s not the case. At 80 MSP it’s about the same price as a Cornetto, and is just as delectable. The crew of the …
Talk about making a bad first impression. Just like Doritos Crash Course 2 – the last free-to-play Xbox Live title – Spartacus Legends requires a constant connection to a server to play. Our first session was a dismal experience – even cycling through menus resulted in minute-long loading screens, while online battles stuttered with infuriating …
Released in 1995, Tails Adventure was one of the final big name releases for the Game Gear. With the Saturn and PlayStation on the horizon, and Pokémon causing a stir on Game Boy, most people had already considered Sega’s battery draining beast to be way past its prime. We think it’s fair to say that …
Usually retail compilations of PSN or XBLA titles are very bare-boned affairs. A few don’t even have a main menu in place, instead simply plonking their contents into your game library. When thatgamecompany is involved with something though, nothing is ever ‘usual’. Retailing at £15 – give or take a quid or two – Journey …
The thing that pleases us the most about New Leaf is that it’s on a handheld. Untold hours were wasted playing Animal Crossing on GameCube, and Let’s Go To The City on Wii was all well and good, but it’s 2005’s Wild World on the DS that we have the fondest memories of. For a …
If we were asked to name three things Insomniac has brought to the world of videogames our reply would be something like this – purple talking dragons, wise-cracking robot sidekicks and over the top weaponry. Fuse features just one of these things, and you can probably guess which. If Fuse’s servers aren’t ghost towns in …
Activision’s take of the TV show sensation includes a cheeky nod to Skyrim – an achievement called ‘I used to be human like you’ which is gained by shooting a walker in the knee with an arrow. Why are we telling you this right at the start of our review? Because it’s the only thing …
The kindest thing you can say about The Devil’s Cartel is that it works. Moving from one ever-so conveniently placed piece of cover to the next is a breeze and your AI controlled team-mate listens to and acts upon your every command, like a well-trained pet. The main bad guy is known as ‘El Diablo’ …
It’s the narrator of this four-player co-op shooter who steals the show. The incredibly camp chap mocks your every death and often goes off topic, even starting one match by talking about his commute to work. If this doesn’t tell you that God Mode has a pleasingly daft streak, then we don’t know what will. …
The first thing that entered our mind when playing this Xbox Indie title was whether or not the developers had cheekily pinched Halo’s grass texture. That’s a compliment more than anything – Halo had the best looking grass around, and for quite some time. Evidentially we spent a lot of time staring at it. memories …
