Guitar Hero 5 review

So Guitar Hero 5 is available in the shops and the good news is this doesn’t feel like just some more songs to jam along to slightly repackaged. It is in fact quite a leap forward for the game both in terms of graphical style and the way the game plays. First of all let’s cover the track list. There are 85 songs on this and as usual, some you’ll know, some you won’t, depending on your musical taste. Queen, Muse, Nirvana and Garbage all appear amongst others and you can even unlock guest characters such as Shirley Manson, Santana...

Rygar The Battle of Argus review

Ideas are complicated business. It’s often quite difficult to work out who came up with what and in what order they did so. For example, most gamers would take one look at Rygar: The Battle of Argus on the Wii and disclaim “God of War rip-off!”.

The game continues on from the story of the movie, this is a plus point as most movie tie-ins simply attempt to relive the story of the film while shoe-horning in “Collect the Bugs” missions. As the adventures spill out onto the Wii, you will take control...

Mini Ninjas review

Just because a game’s for kids doesn’t mean it has to be hurriedly put together. Luckily, it seems that quite a bit of care and attention has gone into making Mini Ninjas which means kids are going to have a fair amount of fun with it. In the game, the land has been ravaged by violent storms and the leader of the town has sent his best ninjas one by one off to solve the problem. The problem is, they never came back so it’s up to Hiro, the youngest of the ninjas, to find his buddies and stop the...

My Zoo Release Date

This September straight from Hudson Software who brought us My Aquarium comes My Zoo to our Nintendo Wii’s via WiiWare.

So this time around My Zoo takes things to the next level and we’re treated to a much more interactive experience. As the title suggests My Zoo let’s you run your very own Zoo on your Wii, initially there are eight animals to care including lions,...
