Rock Revolution review

Rock Revolution’s been out for a few months in the States but it’s only just hit UK shores so I apologise to people in the good old US of A for this untimely review. I wish I’d got it sooner though so I could have warned all of you that it really isn’t necessary to spend your money on this game. In case you don’t know, Konami were the original rhythm game masters with all their Beat Mania titles and musical games in the arcade which included dancing about, playing guitars and bashing drums. It seems they’ve been eyeing the...

Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena review

Fans of the show will know that Escape from Butcher Bay was one of my favourite Xbox games so I’ve been looking forward to playing it again on the Xbox 360 and playing its next-gen sequel, Assault on Dark Athena.

I’ll concentrate on the next-gen title but before I do, it’s fair to sayButcher Bay has aged really well. It look fantastic, it’s acted incredibly well and it’s very atmospheric. Sure it’s a bit clunky at times and the AI’s...

Ultimate Band review

If you like the look of Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero On Tour but don’t have room in your house or the spending power to shell out on all those instruments, Ultimate Band may be something worth checking out. The game lets you play through a number of teen-friendly songs as the bass player, guitarist, drummer or front man or girl and each role in the band involves various gestures using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. This being a Disney game, it’s all very colourful with big-headed, young looking characters practicing in their garage and playing through a number...
