There’s a big game out this week. It’s got balls. That’s right – it’s time for the annual sport ball release again, as FIFA 15 is out this week. Fans of EA’s football series will be pleased to know that FIFA 15 is coming to practically every relevant games system – specifically PS4, PS3, Xbox …
We didn’t quite see it coming. Batman: Arkham Origins has knocked GTA V off the top spot in this week’s UK chart. Perhaps everyone in the world already owns a copy of Rockstar’s car theft simulator. That’s an impressive chart entry for a game that got mixed reviews, with publishers Warner Bros. putting an embargo …
This week sees the release of a hotly anticipated bat-based sequel that has so far remained hidden in the shadows, muttering quietly in an oddly deep voice. Batman: Arkham Origins makes its way on to Xbox 360 and PS3 (and PC), alongside Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate on the PS Vita. Earlier games in the series, …
Those who have been waiting patiently for a major Wii release will be rejoicing this week – Xenoblade Chronicles is here. Very few bad things have been said about this JRPG, with the likes of Eurogamer dishing out a 9 while NGamer Magazine awarded it their highest score of the year so far – a …
You don’t need me to tell you that Pheasants Forever is a hunting game. And as you may have guessed, it’s for Wii. But what a strange name to call a game – if people hunted pheasants forever then there will be none left. I suppose though they couldn’t have called it Pheasant Slaughter Sim. …
If you thought last week was bad for new releases – with just three titles hitting shop shelves – then get a load of this week. There’s just one game out, and that’s the largely unknown May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville on DS. The promotional video on YouTube suggests that it has much in …
The Harry Potter games were getting better over the years – providing we ignore the horrid mess that was Quiddich World Cup – but something went awfully wrong with last year’s Potter tie-in and it ended up being one of the worst games of the year. Most of the levels were simply dull arenas where …
Curb your enthusiasm – you can count this week’s new releases using both of your thumbs. Air Conflicts – Secret Wars (out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC) is compatible with 3D TVs and has online play for up to eight other aviators. There’s a bit more information on the publisher’s site if you’re curious …
Solatorobo: Red Hunter is the type of game that Nintendo fans would kick up a stink about if it had been denied a European release. But behold – here it is on our shores, without signs of any begging or pleading. If anything it proves that Nintendo are still confident in the DS market. This …
Wowsers – there’s a lot to get through this week. EA’s Shadows of the Damned and Warner Bros. F.E.A.R 3 are the two big hitters. General opinion on Shadows of the Damned is that it’s good but slightly lacking polish, with scores including a 7 from Eurogamer and an 8 from 360 Gamer magazine. F.E.A.R …
It’s scary to think that those who were born when Zelda: The Ocarina of Time was released will now be 13 years old. As such, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people buying it on 3DS this weekend will have never played it before. Probably not the majority, but I’d wager more than …
Giving away inFAMOUS for free wasn’t just a way for Sony to say sorry for the PSN fiasco, but also a way to get a few more people interested in the franchise before the sequel comes out. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy inFAMOUS 2 though, as with the majority of Sony’s PlayStation 3-exclusives it’s …
The last LEGO game was released less than two months ago but we’re already on the receiving end of another – LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. This was called in at the last minute to replace the canned Armada of the Damned tie-in – in which you could choose to be good or evil, Ã …
If there’s one game that has been making reviewers smile recently it’s LittleBigPlanet 2. This time round you’re not limited to just making levels to explore but full arcade-like games. All well and good, but there’s a chance Sony might yank your creations if they’re too close to the arcade originals – somebody made a …
The first games of 2011 are here and they’re something of an odd bunch. Capcom’s Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on DS is the highlight thanks to a string of strong review scores. The cheapest price seems to be £23.47 on Amazon unless anybody knows different. There’s also Kingdom Hearts Re:coded on DS, which is an …
