Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch

Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch review

Before now, Ni no Kuni only existed as an RPG on the DS in Japan so unless you were well versed in Japanese it would have been pretty tricky to get into the story. Now, thanks to Namco Bandai, the game’s a PS3 exclusive here in the West so now we can all play along and know what it’s all about. And as a bonus if you still want to play it with Japanese voices and English subs – you can! Hooray, everyone’s a winner! The game’s a heartfelt tale from animé experts Studio Ghibli and Professor Layton developers Level-5...

DMC Devil May Cry

DMC Devil May Cry review

Most of what we’ve heard about this reboot of Devil May Cry is people moaning about Dante’s hair not being white. In fact, there’s even a little joke about his new barnet during the first level of the game but fear not, finish the game and you’ll be able to play through the levels again with a new shade of short haircut that might appease you. Fans of the older games will also be pleased that Cambridge based developers Ninja Theory have also done a good job of combining the hardcore gameplay of stringing combos of moves together to rack...

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge review

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge is one of many enhanced ports from HD consoles coming over to Nintendo’s dual-screen wonder with some added touch screen controls for the Gamepad and some new additions to the Ninja Gaiden gameplay to tweak what was, to be fair, a pretty average affair when it came out last year. Unfortunately I’m playing this game off the back of the sublime Devil May Cry remake as well which doesn’t help matters, and things are further compounded due to a game breaking bug fairly early on in the game which halted my progress so I’ll give...

ZombiU review

The Wii U has actually had a good crop of launch titles available at launch and has a fair few titles on its way over the coming months. A lot of them are ports of games we’ve seen on other HD consoles but Ubisoft have been brave with a brand new IP that truly integrates the Gamepad Controller into the experience – so much in fact that half of the action you won’t see in this review as it happens on the smaller screen in your hand. ZombiU attempts to answer the question we’ve all asked each other in the...
