Sam and Max in The Devils Playhouse review

Furry freelance police they may be but Sam and Max are back with another five episodes of comic mischief and crime solving shenanigans. Let’s not beat around the bush any longer when there is a Sam and Max review just around the corner. I’d have thought if you were here then Sam and Max would need no introduction. However to recap for those not paying attention before, Sam and Max are of course the infamous Dog and Rabbit detective duo that regularly save the world whilst cracking jokes. Fresh from their trip down to hell at the end of Sam...

Rengoku review

Rengoku was originally released for the PSP back in 2005. Let’s see how the game fairs up five years later after a rerelease on the PSN store in my review of Rengoku. For a two distinct reasons Rengoku reminds me of Rise of the Robots back on the Amiga. Firstly they both share a story about Robots that need to battle each other to the death, and secondly, they’re both pretty bad. Rise of the Robots was a typical 2D Beat em up that tried succeed in a market dominated by Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, it failed. Rengoku on...

Splinter Cell Conviction review

Finally Sam Fisher’s latest adventure sees the light of day and Sam is now dragged into action under the premise of finding out who ran over his daughter, the only thing keeping his humanity around as he worked in all sorts of undercover missions for Third Echelon. Of course the plot twists and turns like an episode of 24 and the game takes you into the Third Echelon headquarters, a fairground, the Washington Memorial and even puts you in a flashback in Iraq. If you’ve played the previous games you’ll realise this is a very different beast to what’s gone...

Just Cause 2 review

Let me say straight off the bat that Just Cause 2 is what the original game should have been. When I saw the original demo at E3 a few years ago I was blown away, only to be disappointed when I played the full game. This sequel however is a lot more fun, has more variety and has the winning formula of the parachute and grappling hook which I’ll come to in a minute. So once again you play as Rico Rodriquez and this time you’re working for an agency which must cause as much chaos on the East-Asian island...

Plain Sight review

Do you remember when I first mentioned Microsoft’s XNA development studio? This low cost high powered software development kit can be used to develop games for the Xbox 360, Zune, Windows Phone and PC. I distinctly remember saying I’d likely be reviewing a game created using the software here on Gamesweasel and today that prediction has shown itself to be true. When I first saw the trailer for Plain Sight just a few weeks ago I was rather excited. Now I’ve had a while with the full game let’s see how it fairs under closer scrutiny in my review of...

Diner Dash review

Everyone knows Diner Dash; the hit Flash game from 2003 which has seemingly been ported to every gaming system under the sun. Well apart from the Nintendo Wii that is, until now. Diner Dash has already ventured its way onto Xbox 360 and PS3 this year but Wii owners now finally have their chance to control the cute redhead Flo as she decides to run a restaurant business. You take control of Flo who pretty much has to do everything in her restaurant minus the cooking. You’ll be seeing customers to their seats, taking their order, giving them the bill...
