Military Madness review

PlayStation 3 owners have had many reasons to think themselves better than Wii owners over the years. Be it the next generation 1080p visuals, Blu-ray Disc storage or an online multiplayer system that doesn’t require the pesky Friend Codes. One other reason the Playstation 3 owners had an excuse for smugness was the release of Military Madness Nectaris for the PS3 back in January. So it’s taken a whole two months but Wii owners can now (at last) get their hands on their very own slice of Military Madness pie from the WiiWare Shop Channel for 1000 WiiPoints. So what...

Yakuza 3 review

Whilst I don’t exactly regret having a Nintendo fetish; it does mean that over the years I’ve missed out on experiencing some well-known titles during the PSone and PStwo eras. The reason I’m mentioning this is to let you know ahead of time that I have not played the original Yakuza or Yakuza 2. Luckily for me Sega were kind enough to put many of the previous games’ cut scenes on the Yakuza 3 disc, this is great way for players new to the series to catch up with the story and characters. To quote Wikipedia for a moment, the...

Super Street Fighter IV release date

Last year’s Street Fighter 4 from Capcom was huge hit with the fans and the gaming press, scoring an impressive score of 93 on Metacritic. Despite the many Street Fighter games over the years, Street Fighter II is typically considered the best of the bunch. So when Street Fighter IV was revealed to be pretty much just a 3D remake of Street Fighter 2, understandably most people were happy. So now in Super Street Fighter 4 Capcom present some new characters, a totally revamped combo system and a selection of new games modes. The Super Street Fighter IV release date...

Sonic Classic Collection review

Picking on Sonic the Hedgehog for the quality of his recent games is not only a cliché way of starting a review on a new Sonic game, but it’s also very unfair. Give the poor little critter a break. He’s a product of his time, the original mascot “with an attitude” who stood up as one of the defining pop culture icons of the Nineties, and he’s out of his depth now, adrift in a sea of polygons and hi-res graphics. What’s he supposed to do – this isn’t his world anymore. I’m sure he was as pleased as the...

Dantes Inferno review

Dante’s Inferno may be based on a chapter from the poem The Divine Comedy and even though it completely rips off God of War, it actually is poetry in motion and therefore a very good game in the hack ‘n’ slash genre. So you play as Dante as you’re literally stabbed in the back at the beginning of the game. You then manage to fight off Death and steal his scythe and using this and a holy cross you make your way through the nine circles of hell to defeat Lucifer and get your beloved Beatrice back. Along the way...

Final Fantasy XIII review

I haven’t played many of the Final Fantasy games because I’m not a massive fan of JRPGs. Saying that I did play Final Fantasy X up to the tricky end boss and did rather enjoy it. Final Fantasy XIII is the first game on the next-gen consoles and to some degree is aimed at people who are new to RPGs as it’s far too simple for most hardcore gamers and holds your hand most of the way through. Playing as a number of characters from the land of Cocoon, the game begins as the government tries to purge the inhabitants...
