ModNation Racers review

When it comes to kart racing games, the market has generally been dominated by Nintendo – ask just about any gamer to name a kart racing title and chances are one of the first they’d think of would be Mario Kart. This is probably because when Nintendo first came up with the idea of sticking Mario, Luigi et al in little go-karts for a racing game, they got it pretty-much right first time and since then most companies that have tried to change the formula have created games which simply don’t measure up. Those which have worked – Diddy Kong...

Fable III

Fable 3 release date

As interesting as Fable 2’s fairytale storyline was, the game itself seemed to be lacking that little bit of polish which makes Zelda games so popular. For all the detail, great voice acting and unique gameplay elements we also got loose controls and gold pixie dust that showed you path to every objective making exploring the splendid game world rather pointless. Fable 3 supposedly is bigger and better than before, bringing another great voice cast and boasts much crisper visuals. Supposedly Fable 3 will test your emotions much greater than Fable 2 ever did, we’ll have to wait and see...

Kinect causing red ring of death

Microsoft Kinect Xbox 360 release date

We finally have a name for Project Natal; Microsoft Kinect – it’s a different name to Natal but we all got used to Nintendo Wii right? As we all now, Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 is basically their response to the success of Nintendo Wii. The future is apparently here; no more cables, no more controllers and certainly no more lazy ass sofa gaming.

Your Shape Fitness Evolved

Who’d have thought in 2006 that games consoles would be transformed into fitness equipment? Well only Nintendo it seems but after sales of 23 Million copies of Wii Fit later and now everyone is on the bandwagon. Ubisoft’s Your Shape Fitness Evolved for Xbox 360 uses the brand new Kinect peripheral to bring home fitness to a new physical level, we’ll have to see how well it works without the Wii Balance Board and it’s fundamental ability to weigh the user. The Your Shape Fitness Evolved release date for the Xbox 360 is Winter 2010. Buy Your Shape Fitness Evolved...

Metroid Other M picture

Metroid Other M release date

It’s shocking to think that when Metroid Other M Wii comes to our shores, Metroid Prime 3 will already be three years old. Metroid Other M for the Wii was not only a surprise reveal at E3 2009 but along with the game’s announcement came more surprises. Firstly the game’s co-development with Team Ninja was an unexpected shift away from the previous partnership with Retro Studios and secondly, a new gameplay mechanic was unveiled. Metroid Other M is a third person adventure which fuses the classic retro 2D Metroid gameplay with modern first person shooter action. You control Samus in...

NBA Jam

NBA Jam release date

Any gamer worth their salt must remember NBA Jam; the totally whacked out 2 on 2 basketball game that was on almost every game system around 93/94. It’s crazy to think that we hardly had any decent Basketball games to play until NBA Jam came along and spiced things up with real player faces and over the top gameplay. NBA Jam returns once more this October and promises to be just as much fun as it was back in the day, with much better visuals of course. The NBA Jam Wii release date is October 5th 2010, until then you’ll...
