Stuntman: Ignition review

This review is about the sequel to Stuntman – Stuntman Ignition. Now the original on the PS2 was a bit of a Marmite game. You either liked it or wanted to drop your PS2 from a great height after half an hour of getting things wrong and waiting 2 minutes for the game to load so you could start again. Basically, the director calls the shots and you have to obey, whether it be pulling 180 degree handbrake turns. Smashing through buildings, firing rockets from your car or jumping over ramps – all within a movie scene. This time around...

Army of Two

OK hands up if you like co-op mode in games such as Gears of War? I can’t see if you’ve actually got your hands up or not by I know I enjoyed co-op in Gears of War and that means I’ll probably like playing EA’s Army of Two as the whole game is based around this premise. Instead of co-op being a game mode in this one, it’s the actual game as you and a real life partner or adaptive AI soldier use two-man tactics in a third-person warzone to win the battles and make it out alive. The story’s...

Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction preview

Time for a preview and I’m looking forward to the latest Ratchet and Clank game, called Future: Tools of Destruction. It’s the first next-gen title after the awesome Size Matters on the PSP and there’s going to be a whole load of new weapons and gadgets to try out and this time it’s all in glorious hi-definition and looks absolutely stunning. In this one Ratchet is still trying to trace where he came from as he’s the last of the Lombax race. Even his little robot friend Clank can’t help him when it comes to fathoming out this one. However,...

SingStar ‘90s review

So I’ve finally got my hands on some SIngStar mics and I haven’t played it since the very first one came out during my time at Gamezville where I dressed up as Justin Hawkins with silly wig, billy-bob teeth and a spangly catsuit that I could only just squeeze into. Thankfully, those days of dressing up (at least on television) are behind me and now we have the ninth edition of the series, the 90s collection. Before I go into the track list let me just explain for anyone who hasn’t played or heard of this before. Basically, you get...

Little Big Planet preview

Here’s an interesting concept from Sony. Take a platform game, make the objective just to make your way to the end, make it really open ended and give you the chance to make your own levels and make your way through the game with your friends, giving a helping hand when you need. That game will soon be a reality. It sounds simple, looks great and is called Little Big Planet. Having seen the videos of this game, this really is a look toward what the PS3 is capable of after all the launch titles with good but not stunning...

Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena

Chronicles of Riddick

It’s just been revealed that Starbreeze’s remake of the fantastic Chronicles of Riddick for next-gen consoles won’t be coming out now until 2008. The game already looked stunning on the original Xbox so it’ll be interesting to see how it will fare on the 360 and PS3. No reason’s been given for the delay, so I’ll make one up. Er, they lost the code down the back of the sofa?
