Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 review

I’ve not bought a beat ‘em up since Mortal Kombat 3 on the Super Nintendo back in 1996; I’ve played a couple of fighting games since then, Smash Bros and Soul Calibur for example, but had no interest in the genre for many years. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Wii having been a bit out of touch for a while. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT series include links with the Dragon Ball Anime cartoon with over 500 episodes, 17 Dragon Ball movies and quite a few Dragon...

Okami review

18 months ago Okami appeared on the PS2. The arrival of Okami was a quiet one despite it being a game to rival any Zelda release and having great visuals and game design.

Although build quality isn’t up the same standard as the official controllers it isn’t let down by features – strum, tremolo and whammy bars...

Samba De Amigo Wii

The official website for Sega’s conversion of hit arcade and Dreamcast rhythm classic Samba De Amigo is now open. Featuring screenshots, videos, wallpapers and some funky background music, it’s got to be worth a couple minutes of your time. We noticed that the red Nintendo Pay to Play logo has been removed from the box artwork, we suppose this could mean that either the speculated downloadable content is now free or has been included on the disc or has been scrapped altogether. The Wii Samba De Amigo release date is the 30th September, if you can’t wait that long why...
