International Cricket 2010 review

Video games can often provide a player with their first experience in an arena they may never have considered before – leading to a long love affair or at least brief flirtation with the subject matter. What Trickstar Games have done here is produce a game so faithful to the sport of cricket that it will enthuse your average cricket fan, but anyone else would need to be armed with a bucketful of time, a mind open to the physics of spin and swing, and mental stamina that is constantly tested with repetitive actions requiring accurate timings.

House MD The Official Game review

I was recently asked to review House The Official Game on DS and the only thing I knew about the show was that it starred Hugh Laurie. I thought if I were to do the game any justice I better do some research and watch the very first episode. Overall House the TV show didn’t tickle my fancy especially, I found some parts amusing but the story and writing was a little stale and unnatural. On the brighter side I wasn’t so offended by the show that I wanted to slit my wrists. House MD the show (and the game)...

FlingSmash review

FlingSmash comes in a pack with a snazzy WiiMotion Plus controller which is the same size as a normal remote but with the new technology in it which makes it more accurate. You’ll need it because the game doesn’t work with a standard controller. Basically it’s a block smashing game. The screen scrolls from right to left and you must whack a little round fella called Zip or Pip into the blocks collecting three tokens along the way in order to complete each level. The reason you’re doing this has something to do with an evil floaty thing and you...

Kinect causing red ring of death

Got a Kinect? Well it’s being blamed for causing the red ring of death on some people’s Xbox 360s. Of course this is probably coincidence but some unlucky gamers are convinced plugging the device into their machines has caused them to fall over, overheat and not startup. Microsoft has sold over 2.5 million Kinects in its first month on sale. Buy Kinect now New: Buy Kinect from Amazon.com Related: List of Kinect games, Kinect firmware upgrade
