I would be lying to you if I told you I wasn't amped up about this game. Having played the first two RPGs featured exclusively on the PC, the Brotherhood of Steel third-person adventure on the original Xbox AND the game Wasteland on the Commodore 64 like, 20 years ago (if you know your games, you'll know this was actually the first in the series). Regardless, the game series is actually very, very
The Prince of Persia series is something of an aberration in the gaming community. Each new title in the series seems to change things up in one way or another. The prince has taken on decidedly darker tones in some games and in others is practically a comedian. And while I have never obsessed about the series, I always associated them with some well developed talent behind the scenes who were alw
There’s no denying that Blizzard’s MMORPG title, World of Warcraft, is the most successful MMO in the history of the genre, as well as one of the most successful titles ever. Pulling record numbers for a subscription-based online game, World of Warcraft is a title that transcends its genre to become something that gamers and non-gamers alike can get together and enjoy. Early last year, Blizzar
There are numerous simulation games out in the world. These games allow people to participate in various activities that they normally wouldn’t get to try. For instance there are tons of flight, train, ship, and even car simulators. Last year the developers at Simbin released a game entitled GTR FIA Racing and it was one of the better simulation racing games on the PC. This year they have pulled

The Nintendo DS is no stranger to nontraditional games, and What's Cooking? with Jamie Oliver makes a marked departure from already quirky titles like Cooking Mama by billing itself as an interactive cookbook.A portable video game might not be the first place to turn to for recipes, but the simple interface makes it accessible for anyone willing to get past the obvious gimmickry.The main draw of W
The cinematic "Brothers in Arms" series wants to tell a World War II tale, and "Hell's Highway" keeps the story moving right along as players control Staff Sgt. Matt Baker through the doomed operation Market Garden. The game keeps the suppression system of the previous titles — to advance, players must force Nazi foes behind cover and flank them, and duck behind obstacles themselves; rushing hea

Grand Theft Auto IV is now the biggest release in Interactive Entertainment, beating out Halo 3 by over 200 million in sales in the first week. It marks the first next-gen installment of the game and has been in development for well over 3 years. Was all of the extra time worth it? It is certainly paying off for Rockstar since GTA is not only a commercial success, but a critical success as well. It sits on MetaCritic as the highest rated game (99/100) for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Is GTA IV my favorite game for Xbox 360 and PS3? Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve the praise.Gameplay: 9.5/10Pros: The core gameplay that made GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas is still there.

A new Mario Kart game has touched down on Wii, imaginatively titled Mario Kart Wii. The graphics look like Double dash!!, the game comes packed with some cheapo looking steering wheel and it doesn't look anything special. So why is it worth buying?Mario Kart Wii is more of what Mario Kart lovers have loved for the past decade. Racing around a bunch of courses whilst trying to stay ahead of the pack and not get a red shell shot up your arse. Whilst there isn't anything majorly different with Mario Kart Wii in comparison to Mario Kart DS and those that came before - underneath it all are little tweaks here and there which have a great effect on proceedings. Mario Kart Wii is probably the most refined Mario Kart game to date. The game still includes (the love or hate it) snaking, but it's gon

What do you call a world inhabited with uninspired boring sods with sexy hair who talk like they're brain dead and live under the threat of being wiped out by a large turd that can shoot lasers and cast spells? Final Fantasy X is what.When it was announced that Sony were due to release a successor to the original PlayStation, I'm sure many a Final Fantasy fan wet themselves. "I can finally play a Final Fantasy game where the graphics look like the FMV!?", "Everything will be 3D!", "Characters will talk!" It was an exciting prospect when you thought of the possibilities the new hardware would offer. But upon release it became clear (at least to me) that brand spanking new hardware did not necessarily mean a best in the series.Final Fantasy X plays fundamentally like the Final Fantasy games
I have played a lot of Burnout games in the past and to be perfectly honest I have never been a fan. This new Burnout Paradise game however is a lot different then the previous versions. There are several elements to that game that make it substantially better. First off you have the incredible crash sequences. I am talking about crash sequences that are very real to life unlike most car racing games out there were you can hit a guy head on at 60 mph and bounce off without damage. Try that in this game and your car will look like a soda can. They also have a new showdown mode where you can just get crazy bouncing all over the place. When you add that to the racing and stunt challenges it makes for quite and explosive game.

The Dreamcast had many great, original games - several of which continue to be held in high regard to this day. For me, one of these games is Jet set radio. This game is one of the few that took a fun new concept, shit load of originality and ran a mile with it.Jet set radio is set around a group of 'rudies' known as GG. You begin as a boy named Beat and over the course of the game you encounter other rudies who will set you tasks to prove you're cool enough for them to hang with you. Over the course of the game you'll encounter rival rudie crews who will make an attempt to skate and graffitti all over your turf. These missions have you skating around the area to graffitti over your rival rudies' tags, track them down and then tag them to put them out of action. The premise of the game is
No More Heroes is unlike anything... blah blah blah. I've already said this. The great thing about this game is how quirky it is and how crazy the story line is. It is not overly dramatic or complicated, though it does not really explain much. It leaves a lot to the imagination in the way of how the main character, Travis Touchdown (who has nothing to do with football), got a light saber (or as the game calls it, a "beam katana") or exactly why he kills in the first place (though that's sort of explained, not really though). Something that ties into both the story line and the game play is the humor of it. This game is one of the funniest games I have ever played. With humor ranging from porn movie names to taking a dump (which is how you save your game), the game always pleases. The game

In the midst of alot of gaming sites reporting the possibility of there being a new Burning rangers game, I've decided to review the original game. Plus, I also decided I wanted to make more of an effort to review not only new(ish) games, but also oldies from yesteryear. I know this was a game many did not get a chance to experience, but I was fortunate enough to due to a close friend of mine owning a Sega Saturn and a copy of this game. So if you've yet to play Burning rangersor are just curious as to how it plays and what I think of it, then read on...Burning rangers is like something straight out of the 80's. It takes everything you loved about Japanese cartoons from that decade growing up such as Voltron and Ulysses. A funky sing-a-long theme song, a futuristic setting, a couple of mecha's and a team of heroes in tight spandex, short jackets, white gloves, headbands and dodgy haircuts. This is the world of the Burning rangers. It's almost as thought Sega saw you coming.So let
Super Mario Galaxy is the absolute shit. A masterclass in platforming. A long love letter to all Super Mario fans across the globe. So much is right about this game it's unreal. Nintendo approached this game as though Super Mario Sunshine didn't exist. It's almost difficult to imagine that the same team that brought us that water spraying, holiday themed bullshit actually managed to deliver a game that is out of this world...literally, with all puns intended.Many cite Super Mario 64 as the best 3D platformer ever. Whilst I wasn't a huge fan of the game (I found it quite boring to be honest), there's no denying that it had a major impact on 3D platformers and that every game that came after had tried to mimic it and just plain rip it off in some cases. With this in mind and given Super shitty sunshine's lukewarm response, it would've been easy for Nintendo to have just pretty much re-created the essence of what made Super Mario 64 a success: make it look better, tweak
Developer: NintendoPublisher: NintendoConsole: Nintendo WiiRelease Date: November 2007The StoryEvery one hundred years a comet flies over the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Peach is throwing the biggest festival of the century in order to celebrate the occasion. Just as Mario arrives at the party, Bowser attacks the castle with countless battleships and a giant flying saucer. He takes the whole castle into space, along with Mario, but he is attacked by a Magikoopa and falls off. Mario is rescued by Luma, a magical star being, and is taken to Rosalina, watcher of the cosmos. Bowser stole Power Stars from Rosalina and wants to create his own new galaxy of pure chaos, where he will force Peach to be his sex slave. It’s up to Mario to find the stolen stars, rescue Princess Peach and restore order to the universe.GameplaySpace is the final frontier, and although this is not the first time Mario has been to space, it sure is the wildest ride he’s ever been on. Instead of regular levels yo
I could moan about why this game wasn't released outside of Japan for 7 years, but I hadn't even heard of it until a few weeks ago. So it'd be stupid for me to moan about getting this game late when I was oblivious to it for the 7 years that many pined for it. I am however still grateful to Nintendo for giving this a European release, because the game is pretty decent and satisfies my craving for a good old retro shoot 'em up. Though I think I bit off more than I could chew and got a tad more than I initially bargained for when I downloaded this from the Wii shop.Sin and punishment is retro gaming for those who like their games old skool and I mean OLD skool. Sin and punishment is like a cross between StarFox and Space harrier. That may not sound like an enticing mix for some gamers, but trust me when I say that it works well and makes for a pretty fun game. I'm already sick of typing the full name of the game, so I'll be referring to it from here on out as SaP.SaP has you contro
If you’re a Gundam fan looking for a nice weekend time waster, give this one a try, and if you’re a Dynasty Warriors fan, this will give you another game to blow through.
Don't ask me why I decided to review this game. It's best you don't ask me why I post half the stuff I do on this stupid blog. But I felt like doing a review of it. I've decided I'm going to try and do at least one review a week of every game I've played to date. I'll probably stick to that for all of 2 weeks, but we'll see how it goes. Talking about Sonic rush adventure a couple of posts back got me thinking about it predecessor Sonic rush. So I decided I'd say some kind words about it. Given it's one of the few Sonic games that I actually liked enough to buy.Sonic rush plays like pretty much every other Sonic game, though it comes with some new gameplay altering twists. First off is that the game is played across two screens. Sonic and Blaze will shoot up into the top screen and swoop down into the bottom screen during their races through stages. It's a minor thing, but it really does add to the frantic pace of the game and the sense of speed and freedom the characters hav
I hate this game so much and think that it is so terrible, that it deserves a review from yours truly. I spoke briefly about this game in my ninth podcast. But I felt I should do a written review. Just to bring the message home about how terrible this really game is. Streets of rage 3 stole my money and hours of my life and I will never forgive it for that. NEVER!Streets of rage 1 and 2 were great games. The first game was fun, if a little repetitive and the second game was a flat out masterpiece. So how in the world did Sega mess up so badly with its sequel!? Easy. They changed the formula and stripped the game of everything that made the last two games fun. Streets of rage 3 tries to fuse the best of the first 2 games, whilst throwing some new stuff into the mix - but it doesn't quite pull it off. Not by a long shot. There are some new additions which are welcomed: Axel, Blaze and the rest of the crew have a larger set of moves and are able to dodge up and down the screen and can al
Not too long after my recent post talking about how the boys have transitioned from a TV addiction to a computer game addiction, I got an e-mail from a nice lady offering me a sneak preview of “the first video game made for kids 3-6 on Nintendo DS.” The boilerplate advertised that “Storybook DS features skill-based mini-games and read-aloud fairy tale adventures for shared play and interaction between mom and child.” I wrote back to say thanks for the offer, but we only play games on the PC and we don’t have any game consoles. She wrote back to say, “No problem, we’ll loan you a DS console for a while to play to the game. You can keep the game cartridge, and send back the console when you’re done.”
Hard to say no to an offer like that, isn’t it? And that’s how someone who doesn’t really like video games becomes a video game reviewer - or at least whores her children out as video game reviewers. Let the record
