If there’s one downside to reviewing a large number volume of games it’s that you come across very similar titles and this makes it difficult to find fresh ways of describing the same features. This problem is magnified when dealing with any title in a long-running series. What really matters are the new and updated features and this review will focus on those.   The loading times have plagued this series and last year’s outing was no exception. Fans will be happy to know... Read Full Story

  Same Game. Different platform. Huge improvement. Having played and reviewed the DS game I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this version on the Wii. I was of course confident that the graphics and sound would be far superior and I looked forward to using the Wii-mote instead of the DS controls which I found clunky. The first thing I noticed about this version is that the focus on an adventure mode has been ditched for a more Olympic themed experience in Festival mode.   There ar... Read Full Story

  For reasons known only to Bowser and Eggman the pair of comedy villains have decided to ruin the Winter Games and host their own. Eggman captures five of six snow spirits – the magical creatures who are apparently responsible for making all of the snow. The intention was to capture all six but one went escaped and Eggman in his infinite wisdom told Bowser this would not be a problem. The one remaining spirit did what all snow-creating spirits would do and went in search of help. In a stoke... Read Full Story

  “But you are a faggy twat” – This line was not delivered by Jimmy Carr himself but an Irish Highschool pupil who made the trip over to London for the live performance. Hecklers come in all shapes and sizes. Most are drunken morons who, in a desperate attempt to distract from their midlife crisis, will spout any old nonsense in order to win any kind of attention. Then we have the rare breed of heckler who, like this young man, are annoyed at something and react by shouting some home t... Read Full Story

A few days back, some very, very poor off-screen screenshots of Halo Reach hit the internets and caused quite a commotion (as you would expect). I thought I’d leave it a few days for things to die down, and also for some more info to come to light, before I posted them. So, at the bottom of this post is a gallery of all of the currently leaked screenshots, and here’s a brief summary of everything that’s know about the game so far (from the guy that leaked them – ToM M...

Harmonix have been bringing a steady string of Rock Band debutantes of the last few weeks, and this week is no different as Detroit garage rockers and all round musical superstars The White Stripes join the ever growing DLC list with a 3 track pack.  The songs span the bands career post mainstream success, drawing the “Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground” from their 2001 breakthrough album “White Blood Cells”, “Girl, You Have no Faith in Medicine” from the 200...

This Pac Man inspired car was spotted in Georgia, USA. I don’t know what else I could possibly say about the awesomeness of this creation – I’m off to buy some yellow and red spray paint right now to create my own! The “bumper nuts” just top the whole thing off. Classy.

So, here we find ourselves at the penultimate episode in the great episodic Monkey Island experiment. If you haven’t read our reviews of the previous episodes yet, make sure you check out episode 1, episode 2, and episode 3 to get a feel of our opinions of the three instalments in the series so far (in summary: excellent, very good, and not so good respectively). We received our review copy of the game quite late, so our apologies for the lateness of this review. Here’s a little ... Read Full Story

  If this DVD release proves one thing it’s that you need not look far to find a few favourable quotes. I happen to find the following favourable quotes for True Blood to be somewhat misleading and I will take this opportunity to address each of them.  ‘Stylish, scary and darkly comedic. A modern classic.’ The Guardian ‘Story lines that would make Sarah Michelle Geller blush’ The Times ‘HBO’s biggest hit since the much-missed Sopranos’ The Telegraph ‘Addictively pulpy Vampire raunch’ ...
