Bioshock review

This is a game I’ve been excited about for months ever since I had a brief playtest of the game on the PC. I’ve now got my hands on the full game on the 360 so let me tell you what it’s all about. Set in the 1960s, you’re a passenger on a plane that suddenly ditches into the water. You emerge from the burning fuselage to find a tower in the middle of the sea with a pod inside it. Of course, not wanting to hang about and smell the burning fumes, you pull the lever inside and plunge...

SingStar ‘90s review

So I’ve finally got my hands on some SIngStar mics and I haven’t played it since the very first one came out during my time at Gamezville where I dressed up as Justin Hawkins with silly wig, billy-bob teeth and a spangly catsuit that I could only just squeeze into. Thankfully, those days of dressing up (at least on television) are behind me and now we have the ninth edition of the series, the 90s collection. Before I go into the track list let me just explain for anyone who hasn’t played or heard of this before. Basically, you get...

Little Big Planet preview

Here’s an interesting concept from Sony. Take a platform game, make the objective just to make your way to the end, make it really open ended and give you the chance to make your own levels and make your way through the game with your friends, giving a helping hand when you need. That game will soon be a reality. It sounds simple, looks great and is called Little Big Planet. Having seen the videos of this game, this really is a look toward what the PS3 is capable of after all the launch titles with good but not stunning...

Blue Dragon review

This one’s a classic-style Japanese RPG on the Xbox 360. Japanese developers have mainly ignored Microsoft’s console and stuck to making games for the PS2 but this one, even before its release in Japan, was being hailed as the big RPG for Microsoft which should change the attitudes of all you RPG-ers out there. It’s got the dudes who created Final Fantasy, wrote the music and the character designer who worked on the Dragon Quest games and the cult classic Chrono Trigger so it better be good. The game begins with a big purple cloud rolling over a small village...

Halo 3 Epsilon

It seems another Halo 3 Beta test is underway but only in secret if you’re invited to be part of the exclusive member trying it out. Sound like the Freemasons. Xbox Live players have reported seeing other players indulging in a bit of Halo 3 Epsilon. An anonymous email has also confirmed that Epsilon is a new build of the beta complete campaign mode to try out. Are you jealous yet, are you, are you?

Chronicles of Riddick

It’s just been revealed that Starbreeze’s remake of the fantastic Chronicles of Riddick for next-gen consoles won’t be coming out now until 2008. The game already looked stunning on the original Xbox so it’ll be interesting to see how it will fare on the 360 and PS3. No reason’s been given for the delay, so I’ll make one up. Er, they lost the code down the back of the sofa?
