Junior Brain Trainer 2 review

The Dr Kawashima Brain Training series has been one of the Nintendo DS’ most famous success stories. Not only has the series sold millions of copies but it is said to be the main reason for the success of Nintendo’s blue ocean strategy. Of course this success saw literally gazillions of clones; everywhere you looked games that supposedly can train your brain, eyes and even your untrained psychic powers appeared on the shop shelves. There have been many discussions asking how viable or useful Brain Training software is. On one hand you’ll have some Professor who happens to be on...

Last Window The Secret of Cape West review

If you’ve already played Hotel Dusk you’ll already be able to jump into this game like donning an old pair of slippers. It’s a graphic adventure game where you hold the DS sideways like a book and explore the apartments of Cape West as main protagonist Kyle Hyde. At the start of the game you get laid off by your boss and return to your apartment to discover you and the other tenants are all being evicted due to ‘personal reasons’ given by the sour-faced live-in landlady. The game begins innocuously enough but mysteries soon rear the head – the...

Pang Magical Michael review

I fondly remember playing Pang when it first came out in the late 80s. The idea was simple – playing as one of two cartoony characters who looked like park rangers, you had to fire harpoons at bubbles bouncing down at you from above in order to save the world’s most precious landmarks (and yourselves) from destruction. Based on the arcade classic, Pang: Magical Michael sees you going on a similar mission but this time it’s all your own dong as a failed magical experiment has once again unleashed the colourful bubbles. Quite how a bubble can harm you I’m...

Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies review

It may initially seem like an odd move for the latest Dragon Quest RPG to appear on the DS but I think it’s a good thing. Because they take an age to play I don’t actually feel like I’m wasting my time when playing it on the move. In this game you play as a guardian angel called a Celestrian who, thanks to a mishap at the beginning of the game, is thrown down to earth minus wings and a halo. You then gather a team and explore the land and do all the usual role-playing stuff you’d expect from...

FIFA 11 release date

Worldwide a new football season is just kicking off and Electronic Arts are putting the finishing touches to this year’s Fifa game. Unusually we’ve already had one new FIFA game this year in the shape of Fifa World Cup 2010 which we awarded eight out of ten. Sadly the World Cup only lasted a couple of weeks and is long since over. The football season on the other hand goes on for months hence the urgent need for Fifa Soccer 11. EA Sports have released a few titbits of information about Fifa 11 for Xbox 360 and PS3 so far,...
