Avatar The Game

Avatar The Game review

I don’t like the look of James Cameron’s Avatar movie because it’s got blue people in it. I’ve never liked The Smurfs and I don’t like tall blue people either. Anyway, people tell me it’s actually quite good so I may have to go and see it but in the meantime I’ll tell you about the game. Using the same idea but not following the plot of the film, you play as Ryder, a soldier for a military group called the RDA who are inhabiting a planet called Pandora full of viscous creatures and plants and an indigenous race of...

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks review

Phantom Hourglass was a first for the Zelda franchise as it followed on from where The Wind Waker left off. The game proved to be a huge success despite some frustrating repetition as you had to keep fighting through the same dungeon in order to progress. Spirit Tracks takes Link away from the ocean and puts him in a little steam train which delivers a similar experience to sailing around the land, only now you’re literally on rails. This time you’re actually playing as a different boy who dons the green garb to defeat an ancient demon. The Spirit Tower...

Hasbro Family Game Night

Hasbro Family Game Night review

Yes I’m a video gamer but I’m not un-partial to the odd board game or two but I admit that my Scrabble board hasn’t seen the light of day since the official Scrabble app arrived on Facebook. As well as playing computer and video games since an early age I have always liked board games, some of my favourites include classics such as: Monopoly, Chess and the aforementioned Scrabble. So as you can imagine, when Hasbro Family Game Night for Nintendo DS arrived for review I wasn’t too displeased. Sadly before my review of Family Game Night has hardly begun,...
