Beautiful Katamari
Thu, 03/04/2008 - 11:00 — deKayEveryone's fantasy is to roll the world's largest snowball. That's why when it snows, people make snowmen, rolling a ball of snow larger and larger until it isn't possible to move it any more, then adding a smaller ball for a head. It isn't because we want to make a man made of ice, but because we just love rolling stuff up.
So hurrah for Namco and their ball rolling simulators!
Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (single player campaign)

Call of Duty is back, but not only is it back, it's back under the tender loving care of the original developers, Infinity Ward. After what for me was a blip in the series with the third instalment have Infinity Ward managed to put the magic back into the Call of Duty franchise?
Meet The Robinsons
Thu, 28/02/2008 - 10:54 — ZomoniacHaving played through the likes of Shrek The Third, Ratatouille and Open Season in the last few months, I think I can be forgiven for expecting Meet The Robinsons to be nothing more than a shameless cash-in on Disney's latest all-CGI summer spectacular. Whilst TMNT, Cars and Open Season were all tolerable, Ratatouille and Shrek were diabolical. I was unsure where on this spectrum Meet The Robinsons would end up.
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict
Tue, 19/02/2008 - 23:10 — Tim MillerDark Conflict? What is this foolishness? Everyone knows that the most recent Advance Wars game is called Days of Ruin, and there have been no previous games in the series with that name. Have we missed something? Have they suddenly brought two games out at once?
Sort of.
The Club
Wed, 13/02/2008 - 10:51 — TheRevAsk yourself a question.
What do you want from a shooter?
Do you want a compelling story with impressive cut scenes, levels that go on for an hour or two and a well-defined beginning, middle and end?
Or do you just want to start up your console, dive into a level of your choosing that lasts anywhere from a minute to, oh, about five minutes and then get some points for shooting people in the face?
Project Gotham Racing 3
Mon, 11/02/2008 - 14:45 — ZomoniacDriving cars is fun. It’s highly dangerous to make it fun, but it’s fun all the same. Which is why videogames with cars were invented. They simulate the fun and eliminate the risk. In real life one is not encouraged to see how fast they can do handbrake turns around Trafalgar Square. But we’ve all wanted to do it, and that’s why we have Project Gotham Racing 3.
Gears Of War
Mon, 11/02/2008 - 14:05 — ZomoniacThere have been few games more hyped than Gears Of War. With sequels to successful games excepted, it’s hard to think of any title so eagerly anticipated. Initially shown off when Xbox 360 was first unveiled, Epic’s third-person action game promised a huge amount, and looked to be the perfect showcase for both the power of Xbox 360 and their own Unreal Engine 3 technology.
Rez HD
Tue, 05/02/2008 - 20:22 — HakkThe latest game to enter the 360 live arcade is an old 'on-rails' shooter going by the name of Rez HD. If you haven't heard of Rez, that's not a problem, as the countless copies being sold on eBay for the Dreamcast or PS2 at any time are always marked '@@@@@LOOOK RARE@@@@@' or something like that. Well it's not rare anymore - it's available as a download onto the 360.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Sun, 27/01/2008 - 12:20 — James Luff
This is the game that many people had been touting to be the first 'killer app' for the PSP. The one that would get PSPs flying off store shelves. Unfortunately it didn't manage that feat, mainly because Sony didn't have any PSPs on the shelves in order for them to fly off in the first place! However, if they had been there would this game have sold them? Let's take a closer look.
Phantasy Star Collection
Fri, 25/01/2008 - 22:19 — deKayImagine if you could buy three of Sega’s best role playing games on one Game Boy cartridge for less than the original cost of any one of them. Thanks to Phantasy Star Collection, you can. Containing the first three Phantasy Star games, there is easily 50 hours play here, more if you’ve never played them before or want to see everything. Be aware that these are not cut down versions of Phantasy Star Online – these games are ports of the original Megadrive and Master System titles, although little has been altered.
