Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 review

I’ve been very excited about playing the new Pro Evo game and finally it’s taken its rightful place as the most played game on my Xbox 360 – funnily enough the last most played game was PES 6. Luckily, I got my copy a few days before the big media cup event in London. Mark Lawrensen and John Champion were also there as they’re doing the much-improved commentary but it was funny when Normski who was hosting the event called Lauro Martin Lawrence. I half expected the Bad Boys music to play and someone to come on stage in a...

Portal 2

The Orange Box review

I’m a massive Half-Life fan. The first game made me upgrade my PC just so I could play it, and so did Half-Life 2. I also really enjoyed Counter-Strike Source which came with it and Episode One, an expansion pack I bought using the upload client Steam. Well, now my PC’s getting a bit old and dated but this time, there was no need to upgrade as I got The Orange Box on the Xbox 360 which is just as playable. What you get in the Orange Box is probably the best game bundle ever. You get the original Half-Life...

Fatal Inertia review

Here is My my review is Fatal Inertia on the Xbox 360. Now when you first see this game you’ll instantly think it’s ripped off WipeOut. And you’d be right to think that because in essence, it has. But that’s no bad thing as this game is every bit as playable and has some funky new weapons and fun courses to fly about in. So, it’s a racing game and you work your way through a number of race events split over a few rounds where you aim to be top of the tree by the time all the races...

Sega Rally review

Sega Rally’s been around for as long as I can remember. At its core it’s always been an arcade racing game which is simple to pick up and play, zooming round the country roads and dirt tracks without too much trouble. Of course, for the hardcore among us we could look into it a bit deeper and use manual gears and powerslide round those corners to get the edge and a better split time. So, this one’s the first one for the next-gen consoles and it’s got something new – ground deformation. Now we’ve seen this before with MotorStorm but...

Wiimote for the Playstation

This is for anyone who doesn’t yet own a Wii, may have a PS2 but feels they’re missing out on all that oving about malarkey when playing your games. Do you remember the GameTrak that came out 4 years ago? Basically it was a device that sat on the floor with two strings on gloves which you wore. The device could then track where your hands were in 4d space and let you play golf and one where you punch people in the face. It’s still probably cheaper than joining a golf course or brawling after 10 beers on a...

Heavenly Sword review

It’s another much-hyped game, this time for the PS3. It’s Heavenly Sword. This one’s pretty much hailed as the truly big title for the PS3 since its launch and there’s no doubt it looks pretty, but does it play well? Please listen for the next two minutes so I can tell you. So, brief backstory first. You play a red-haired lady called Nariko who is given the Heavenly Sword to protect. Use it, however, and you’re cursed. My parents used to tell me that about about stealing biscuits but that’s another story. Unfortunately, a camp bad guy played by Andy...
