De Blob

Here’s a new one for the Wii and DS out in February next year called de Blob, and before you ask no it’s not a French remake of the monster movie or Stephen King’s Carrie. This game’s perfect for Nintendo’s consoles as you control de Blob who like a sort of space hopper round the colourless world of Chroma City. All the colour’s been drained by the INKT corporation. Say it quickly and it sounds like inked, get it? It’s basically an action puzzle game as you swing and bounce your blob around the city whilst avoiding some nasties that...

Dragonball Z Goku Densetsu review

Here is my review of a brand new Dragonball Z game subtitled Goku Densetsu. Now if you’re used to these games on the consoles you’ll know that they’re usually over-the-top fighting game swhere you get to fly in the air and hit each other, and even smash planets on each other’s heads when you do a crazy super-move. This one’s nothing like that. Instead, it’s a glorified board game mixed up with top trumps and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. The story’s pretty simple, if not far fetched. The world gets invaded by aliens and you...

More Brain Training review

It’s the sequel to Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training. It’s a simple idea for a game so it has a simple title. It’s called More Brain Training. Basically, it’s more of the same although these games are very different from the last batch so you’d better be prepared to exercise a whole new load of Neurons to make your brain light up in different ways like when the good Doctor shows you at the start of the game. So let’s go through the new exercises to see if any of them tickle your fancy. First up there’s one where you must...

Elite Beat Agents review

This is a brand new rhythm game for the DS called Elite Beat Agents. This game was originally Japanese but has finally come to the UK with a rock, dance and disco soundtrack and a very sill cartoon-strip storyline that can’t help but raise a smile as you tap your feet along to the beat. You play the Elite Beat Agents, three secret men in black with funky hair, helping people around the world through the power of dance. What that means to you the gamer is tapping the touch screen in time to the beat as circles appear on...

Transformers The Game review

So the Transformers movie is almost upon us and the film reviewers are basically saying the film looks great but the story’s a bit of a clichéd mess. Fair enough, I’m sure it’s a treat for the eyes anyway so I’m going to go and see it. As for the game, that’s another story. Let me review it for you now and you can make up your mind on whether to play it or not. What you get with Transformers The Game is a slightly open-ended game world with a story to lpay through similar to Spider-Man, Hulk Ultimate Destruction...

Pokemon Diamond Pearl review

Time for our second review and this one’s not out for a couple of weeks but I couldn’t wait so got it from the States. It’s the new Pokémon games this time called Diamond and Pearl and once again, you run around a little made-up world looking for wild Pokemon, battling other trainers and trying to stop an evil team who are up to no good. This time the land’s called Sinnoh, and the evil team which must be stopped is Team Galactic. You’d think by now people would be getting tired of Pokemon but even now it’s selling better...
