Rayman Legends review

Rayman’s enjoyed a bit of a hiatus over the last couple of years with previous Rayman games. The character never really shined in 3D and was in danger of being replaced by his spin-off Rabbids until Rayman Origins came along with great platforming action and even better art direction. Rayman Legends delivers more along the same theme with tonnes of new ideas which are definitely worth the price of admission. Once again, the story’s a bit weak but in essence you have to move through all the stages rescuing Teensies, collecting Lums and freeing some Viking sisters that are all...

Play Deus Ex for the Wii U

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut for the Wii U has been made official by Square Enix and apparently it boasts “striking visual improvements”. You wouldn’t yet believe it but the Wii U can actually display high-res PC textures – the game will also feature overhauled boss fights thanks to fan feedback and offer Miiverse integration and all that lovely dual-screen loveliness you’ve come to expect.

LEGO City Undercover review

LEGO City: Undercover brings the popular toy set to life, expanding not only on what’s gone before with LEGO Batman, Indiana Jones and Star Wars into a single player experience that’s more of a sandbox experience you’d see in something like GTA. In fact, kids should definitely be playing this instead of pestering their parents for 18 rated titles but that’s another issue – rant over. The story is simple – you’re a cop called Chase McCain who’s moved to LEGO City to track down an escaped convict called Rex Fury. You’ll visit the police station, get your briefing and...

New Wii U games for 2013

Wii U owners rejoice! Nintendo have announced a flurry of games for the console featuring some Nintendo favourites. Among the titles you can look forward to playing over the coming months will be two new Zelda titles (one of them being an HD remake of The Wind Waker), a new 3D Mario game which I presume could be Super Mario Galaxy U, a brand new Mario Kart title and Yarn Yoshi, a similar concept to Kirby’s Epic Yarn.

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge review

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge is one of many enhanced ports from HD consoles coming over to Nintendo’s dual-screen wonder with some added touch screen controls for the Gamepad and some new additions to the Ninja Gaiden gameplay to tweak what was, to be fair, a pretty average affair when it came out last year. Unfortunately I’m playing this game off the back of the sublime Devil May Cry remake as well which doesn’t help matters, and things are further compounded due to a game breaking bug fairly early on in the game which halted my progress so I’ll give...

ZombiU review

The Wii U has actually had a good crop of launch titles available at launch and has a fair few titles on its way over the coming months. A lot of them are ports of games we’ve seen on other HD consoles but Ubisoft have been brave with a brand new IP that truly integrates the Gamepad Controller into the experience – so much in fact that half of the action you won’t see in this review as it happens on the smaller screen in your hand. ZombiU attempts to answer the question we’ve all asked each other in the...
