Fifa 09 review

Since last year there’s been a change in the Fifa vs Pro Evo battle. If I’m brutally honest Pro Evo hasn’t changed all that much since FIFA 08, despite it being a regular visitor to my 360’s DVD tray. Fifa, however, has gone down the simulation route and this year’s outing has really come up trumps. The game’s packed with tonnes of single player and online modes that’ll have you playing for months to come. The first thing you’ll notice is the gameplay is slower so you actually get time on the ball and time to think about your next...

De Blob review

De Blob may seem like a brand new concept but in a way it has sort of been done before. Remember Jet Set Radio? In the game you had to spray paint areas of the landscape by controlling a dude on rollerblades – hopping from building to building and avoiding the police who chase you with their silly hats on. De Blob sees you controlling a bouncing blob, smashing into coloured paint pots and bouncing into buildings to change them from grey to blue, yellow, red, green or brown to bring colour to the world of Chroma City. Instead of...

Samba De Amigo review

Samba De Amigo was originally a Sega arcade game where you’d stand in front of the machine, pick up a pair of maracas and shake them about whilst the happy monkey danced around behind. It then appeared on the Dreamcast complete with expensive peripherals that could detect where you were shaking them. Of course, the Wii should be perfect for this latest version – or so you’d think, more about that later. So what do you get in the game? Well, you get the classic arcade version and a solo game where you play through a variety of stages, unlocking...

Super Swing Golf review

If Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour series is to golf games what Gran Turismo is to driving games, then Super Swing Golf is its Super Mario Kart. Coming from the somewhat touched minds of Ntreev Soft and Tecmo, this is an anime golfing adventure full of power-ups, pimped-out outfits and impossible shots. A far cry from the straight-laced style of its competition, can this bright ‘n’ breezy romp knock Tiger’s hole-in-one series out of bounds? Does that even make sense? We hope so, here’s our Super Swing Golf review. There once was a game called PangYa, a casual golf freeware game...

Baroque review

Baroque is an interesting sounding game about pain, suffering, death and reincarnation. Sounds like a typical night out in London but I won’t let that dissuade me from giving it a fair chance, time to continue into our review of Baroque for Wii. In Baroque you take control of a character simply known as The Protagonist, a blue haired chap who has lost his memory and voice. All we know is that he has very guilty feelings about something, but he doesn’t remember what. A pretty cool looking male Archangel appears as you wander around the Wastelands chatting to the...

Mega Man 9, Super Dodge Ball and Vectorman

Nintendo has been updated the Wii digital distribution service with another set of titles this week, one for WiiWare and two on Virtual Console. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got to spend our virtual currency on this week shall we? For WiiWare this week we have: Mega Man 9 from Capcom, a true sequel to the original 8Bit Mega Man games finally arrived and is as challenging as ever. A solid 15 hours of tough 80’s style platforming action which uses the original graphics and gameplay dynamics of that on the original NES game. An absolute must for...
