FIFA 14

FIFA 14 review

Every year the guys over at EAC deliver us another FIFA game and once again FIFA 14 changes things for the better. Not only have the guys managed to give us a load of new game modes, skill games and a revamped FIFA Ultimate Team, they’ve even changed what happens on the pitch for the better too. If you’re used to FIFA 13, you’re actually going to have a bit of a hard time playing this at first. LT is no longer used for skill moves and is now used to protect the ball, which means that you now have...

Pokemon Typing Adventure review screenshot

Pokemon Typing Adventure review

The last time I played a video game where I had to type to succeed was when I played fastest finger first against zombies in The Typing of the Dead. Mavis Beacon would have turned in her grave but she may approve more of the much more wholesome Pokémon Typing Adventure where you must ‘Catch ‘em All’ by typing their names instead of walking through tall grass and throwing out Pokéballs in the more traditional manner. The game sees you working on behalf of Professor Quentin Werty (see what they did there?) and his assistant Paige Down (oh the jokes...

FIFA 13 review

Another year goes by, we all get more wrinkles and FIFA comes out again with next year’s number on the box. This time FIFA 13 also has a new cover star in the way of Lionel Messi and that gives you some clue as to how the gameplay’s been tweaked, but we’ll come to that later. So what’s new in the front end before you get on the pitch? Well, there are a few tweaks and additions. Back once again are EA Sports Football Club, Ultimate Team, Challenges and the usual single and multiplayer modes you’d expect but the main...

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games review

I know the lengthy-named Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games has been out for months now but we’re finally at the real-life London Olympics so I thought I’d take a look at the grand event from the point of view of an Italian Plumber and a bright blue Hedgehog. This is actually the third Olympic game featuring these two – the first one came out in 2007 and then there was a Winter Olympics game. Now we’re back with the summer games and this brings a mixed bag of gameplay that’s also just a varied as to...

LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes

LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes review

LEGO Batman 2 is an original story from the Traveller’s Tales team, who brought you all the other LEGO games you’re probably all familiar with. In them you smash stuff to bits and beat up baddies to collect studs which earn you more unlocks and collectibles. It’s incredibly addictive, especially when played how it’s meant to played in co-op mode and funny too thanks to parodies on well-loved franchises. LEGO Batman 2 tries to break away from this mould slightly but ultimately it just succeeds in diluting an already successful formula. So what’s going on? Well this time Lex Luthor has...
