Time Crisis 4 2008-04-18 12:06:03 The Wii is perfectly suited to lightgun arcade conversions thanks to its pointy-clicky design. So, I was surprised when a copy of Time Crisis
4 was delivered to my door complete with a brand new G-Con PS3 lightgun and some strange LEDs on leather straps. Both get plugged into the USB ports, the LED peripherals [...]

The Simpsons Game for the Wii review 2008-04-18 11:50:23 I generally don’t watch too much television, firstly I find it a bit too hypnotic and don’t want to end up turning into a couch potato and secondly there really doesn’t seem to be a lot of good stuff on anyway. One of the programs I do always try to tune into though is The [...] Read more:review

What is your worst video game ever played? 2008-04-14 07:59:11 We are compiling a list of the worst video
games ever released and we’ll be issuing payback in a future episode of Gamesweasel. We want to know what you think the worst game is - and why. It could be a buggy game, one with poor game play, a disappointing sequel, terrible graphics, bad network [...]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 review 2008-04-11 12:01:02 The first Rainbow
Six Vegas
game ended on an annoying cliffhanger and was an enjoyable single-player experience. You breached banged and cleared through a number of glitzy locations and back streets controlling two AI team-mates as you went your merry destructive way.
However, it was the multiplayer mode that lasted the distance in a similar vein [...] Read more:Rainbow Six

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus review 2008-04-11 11:59:15 Metal Gear SolidPortable
Ops Plus isn’t some amazing new washing powder - in the usual MGS way it’s a sort of remix and expansion, the sort we’ve seen with Substance and Subsistance on the PS2.
The award-winning original which came out last year had you intrigued with a great story and a fantastic multiplayer experience [...] Read more:Metal

Xbox Towel Trick 2008-04-11 11:54:59 Last week my Xbox
360 got the dreaded rings of death when I was really looking forward to finishing Condemned 2. I switched it on, started playing and it locked up mid-game. I turned it off, back on again and I got the three red lights which basically means your Xbox is FUBARed - a [...] Read more:Towel

Rock Band video game price 2008-04-11 11:53:16 The Rock Band video
game has got a price
and you may not like it - it’s £129.99 for the instruments and then another £49.99 for the game on top of that. You will pay more for the Rock Band UK release than for a console! These are however RRPs so expect to get your [...]
Mario Super Sluggers Wii 2008-04-11 11:21:50 Blimey, they haven’t even got Mario
Kart out of door yet and Nintendo are already spilling the mushrooms on Mario’s next smash hit game. Mario Super
Sluggers Wii

Developed by Namco, (yes the ones who made Pacman) Mario Super Sluggers Wii sounds like [...]

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Wii review 2008-04-09 12:19:14 Don’t laugh when I tell you this but I’ve not bought a beat ‘em up since Mortal Kombat 3 on the Super Nintendo back in 1996. Obviously I’ve played a couple of fighting games since then, Smash Bros and Soul Calibur for example, but overall I’ve had no interest in the genre for many [...] Read more:Dragon

Growlanser Heritage of War 2008-04-08 11:52:43 What with all the next gen consoles out there we quite often overlook the PS2 as a current gaming machine and as strange as it sounds, in some countries the PS2 is still outselling the PS3. So here is a bit of news for all your PS2 owners who are waiting that little bit [...] Read more:Heritage

Run the Gauntlet for the DS 2008-04-07 08:56:57 Eidos have announced Gauntlet is coming to the DS later this year. I spent many a minute in the arcades huddled round the four-player machine as a Valkyrie, Elf, Wizard or Barbarian. They promise to revitalise the 80s game with new graphics and I guess you’ll be tapping on the screen with the stylus to [...]
