Dead Rising 2 review

The first Dead Rising was released during the early days of the Xbox 360 and although it had lots of promise, ultimately it didn’t deliver – at least for me. Sure you could have lots of fun killing the zombies in a variety of ways but the combat system was flawed and the timed plot events were something that really grated. I was hoping they would do away with these in the sequel but they’re back again, only this time far easier to manage. There’s also 3 save slots for you to save to as well so if you do...

PlayStation Move

PlayStation Move Starter Pack from Amazon

We’re cautiously excited about PlayStation Move, it’s clear that Nintendo made some correct moves when developing the Wii but they did cheap out on inaccurate and low quality tech. After four years of studying the success (and anti-climax) of Wii; Sony went to their drawing board with the goal of improving motion control and bringing it to their core PlayStation 3 audience. Whether Sony will convince Sony PS3 owners to buy into motion control is anyone’s guess. What we do know is that they’re trying very hard with good looking previews at E3 and a low cost Playstation Move Starter...

Swarm

Swarm announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360

Recently we reviewed Blacklight Tango Down which we found to be decent first person shooter that was heavily inspired by Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Developers UTV Ignition next project is a fun looking strategy game called Swarm. Swarm for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 looks a lot like Pikmin; the Nintendo created real time strategy game which appeared on GameCube and Wii. The game is filled with cute looking characters called Swarmites. These blue gooey looking creatures look like they were created in Spore; they’re so cute you’ll want to protect them as much as you can from...

Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days

Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days review

The first Kane and Lynch game was a bit of a disappointment really. The controls weren’t great, it screamed for a co-op mode but didn’t have one and felt disjointed. This sequel aims to fix all that and in some ways it does and some ways it doesn’t. So years later, Lynch is living in Shanghai and Kane comes to see him for one last money making exercise – an arms deal. This soon goes wrong when they accidentally kill a very powerful kingpin’s daughter and the whole of China seems to be after them. Cue lots of running and...
