Best 5 Games of 2012

Looking back on the best 5 games of 2012 – I’ll warn you now, some of them are contentious! Sleeping Dogs At number five it’s Sleeping Dogs. It’s basically a Grand Theft Auto game with slightly less humour but a much better game mechanic. Set in Hong Kong, you’re an undercover agent working for the cops and the Triads but as with most undercover stories, your loyalties are soon tested. With a superb combat system that almost matches those of Arkham City and Asylum, this is definitely worth picking up before GTA V eclipses everything. FIFA 13 At four it’s FIFA 13....

How to transfer data from the Wii to Wii U

If you’re looking to transfer all your data and game saves from your Wii over to your Wii U you’re going to need to use the transfer software which you can find hidden away in the ‘channels’ section of the shop. You’ll also need both machines on at once with different TVs or inputs on the same TV and have them both connected to the same router and an SD card with at least 512MB of space on it. Good luck!

Wii U router connection problems

I just received my Wii U from Nintendo and after setting everything up I found I couldn’t connect to my router on Virgin Media. I checked and double checked the password but after it tested the connection it just wouldn’t play ball. So I’ve done some routing around on the internet and I’ve found this advice from GAMEDEV on a forum. It worked for me so give it a go if you’re having problems. Go into connection types, Hit “Manual Configuration” Input your SSID Input the correct security type, this is key. Put your password in properly For ip address...

Top 5 hidden Wii gems

As the Wii nears the end of its life, I take a look back at the top 5 overlooked Wii games that are well worth a play, even today. MadWorld Despite selling about 2 copies, Madworld remains one of the best Wii exclusive titles. With a distinct black and white, Sin City -style game aesthetic, this remains one of the most stylish games ever. Starring as Jack, you must kill your way through the levels in a brutal homage to the ‘Running Man’. Throw in some hilarious over the top kills, fantastic boss battles and buckets of blood, making MadWorld a...

Best Vita games

The PlayStation Vita release date is next week and Sony kindly sent me a device to try out along with a pack of games I could download onto its 16GB memory card. It’s a decent piece of kit and you name it, it’s got it. It has a large 5 inch OLED touch screen, rear touch pad, gyroscope, GPS, microphone, dual analogue sticks and front and rear cameras and the launch titles all go some way to making sure they use some if not all the functions it has. After a messy start getting the thing to work what with...

Top 5 Games of 2012

Here are my top 5 games coming up in 2012: BioShock Infinite At number five it’s BioShock Infinite. This time the action’s not sent in the underwater world of Rapture but instead on a giant city in the air called Columbia in 1912. You play as a guy called Booker DeWitt who’s not a French comedian but in fact a disgraced former agent acting as a lone wolf. The gameplay is the familiar mix of first-person shooting and role playing you’ve come to expect with the BioShock games and of course you’ll get some cool abilities to raise the stakes...
