Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games review

Sega were generous enough to send me a copy of their latest Mario and Sonic game and who am I to say no? The formula so far has been that the Wii version contains a collection of Olympic themes Wii Sports style mini games and focuses heavily on local multiplayer. The handheld game instead contains a single player adventure story mode as well as collection of mini games that can also be played multiplayer if you have a DS/3DS owning friend. With the upcoming Olympic Games in London this year it makes total sense that Mario and Sonic would be...

LEGO Star Wars keeps the force going

It’s good news if you’re a fan of the LEGO Star Wars games. Lucas has renewed the license with The LEGO Group for another ten years. This means we may now see more original games featuring characters from the Star Wars universe as well as the production of more physical toys to play with. And for those of you who didn’t know, here’s a fact. LEGO is a Danish company and the word translates to the phrase “play well”. So now you know.

Rayman Origins release date

I’ve never really been into Rayman, especially since playing the 3D games and getting very frustrated by the usual inherent 3D platforming problems we all know and expect. Recently it also seems he’s been usurped by those pesky Rabbids but after playing the game at a ‘90s nostalgia’ event I have to say this is really a return to form. It was hard to get a proper gist of what was going on because as I was playing I was having my ear chewed off (not literally) by Jet from Gladiators but more on that later. From what I could...

FIFA 12 review

I’ve seen a lot about FIFA 12 in the run up to launch and after playing it at preview events I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Now it’s here and they’ve made quite a few changes. Most of them are for the good but some they also present their own problems which could probably be smoothed out in FIFA 13. The main thing you’ll notice is the complete overhaul in the way the game plays. You can now dribble past defenders more easily thanks to new close control and no longer can you just hold down two...

Super Mario 3D Land

Last week saw the release of the new Metallic Red Nintendo 3DS and I was lucky enough to be invited to an event that not only showed off the new handheld but also a new build of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 before their release on 18th November and 2nd December respectively. I had a brief chance to play Super Mario 3D Land at Nintendo’s UK event in London around E3 time and I have to say it’s still my most anticipated title on the device and I’m sure it’s one that is sure to shift a...
