Pilotwings Resort review

Ever since a pigeon first pooped on a caveman’s shoulder mankind has been determined to fly. Nature on the other hand has always fought against the idea and very few human babies are born with wings as a result. Those that are usually don’t survive the wing removal process or end up being sold to a travelling freak show. With absolutely no help from the heavens we have had to build aeroplanes and helicopters to get us into the air, they do the job but you must admit that we still have a long way to go if we want...

Wii U release date

Despite the huge success of Nintendo Wii from 2006 to 2009, sales thereafter have been slowing down quite considerably. Nintendo have set the Nintendo Wii U release date for 30th of November with a US price just shy of $500 and a UK price of around £250. What do we know? Custom CPU from IBM using triple core Power PC chip. It’ll be fast. Faster than a Playstation 3. 1080p 3D HD graphics using AMD graphics chip. The format wars have been fought and won by Blu-Ray, Nintendo are going to pick the largest storage media available. Traditional controller featuring dual...

uDraw Studio review

Nintendo consoles have certainly never been strangers to unusual attachments in the past and this tradition has carried well on into the 21st Century. Remember Rob the Robot, The Super Scope, The Gamecube Bongos and the Wii Balance Board? Is there anything that Nintendo cannot design to be plugged into the controller socket? Now it’s the turn of THQ to get in on the act and bring a new peripheral to the Wii, intrigued? So was I. You may have seen expensive drawing tablets for PC’s in the past and thought they were pretty cool. I mean just think about...

Shift 2 Unleashed review

When I put the Shift 2 disc into my Xbox 360 and drove around a couple of laps to let it judge how much assistance I needed I was expecting it to be a simulation. The good news is that it isn’t a game along the lines of Gran Turismo because I find them terribly dull to play. Instead, you get the feel of realism but also a very visceral experience as you jostle for position with your competitors round some very tough tracks. New to this game from Slightly Mad Studios is the helmet cam which not only puts...

Homefront review

What the world probably doesn’t need now is another FPS. However, they do seem to be popular so now it’s time for THQ to have a bash in 2011 with Homefront. Instead of playing through historic battles, this one gives us a ‘what if’ scenario set in 2027 with a unified Korea invading the United States and reducing it to rubble. Playing as one of the resistance it’s up to you to save the ones you love and fight your corner to make what little difference you can. I’ve already read a few other reviews of Homefront and I actually...
