Sonic Unleashed

I’m going to be a bit controversial and state my opinion that there hasn’t really been a decent Sonic game since the 1990’s. Could Sega’s latest outing finally bring us back the classic game play we all crave? Sonic Unleashed is a brand new title from the Sonic Team at Sega. It’s coming out for all the main consoles (360, PS3, Wii and PS2) but not the handhelds. Sega tell us that this has been a secret project in the works for three years, with a brand new “hedgehog engine” which can move from 3D to 2D camera action seamlessly....

No More Heroes review

What do you get when you mix sword-fighting combat, slightly open world gameplay, a massive wedge of humour and some comic book graphics? No More Heroes, that’s what. This one’s made by the same guys that made Killer 7. Whilst I found that far too strange to play despite its cool look, this one I could identify with more, even though like a good curry with rice it’s a mix of good flavours and mediocrity. You play as big-time loser Travis Touchdown, a man who only really wants one thing – to get jiggy with French blondie Sylvia Crystal. Anyway,...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Wii event

Recently we asked Pro Evolution Soccer fans for questions to pose to the team behind Pro Evolution Soccer and last Thursday I met up with them for some answers. Lewis Paul asked: i think that you should add more leagues to the game i.e. portuguese and scottish leagues, and are you going to attempt to get the bundesliga back? PES team: We are constantly looking to expand the number of official clubs and leagues in PES. We have a team of licence specialists who are currently working hard for the forthcoming PES, and we hope to detail new additions to...

Street Fighter IV preview

Just been to a secret Street Fighter IV game hands-on event at Capcom Headquarters. When walking into the room I was quickly ushered out before I could join the throng of journos clambering to get their hands on the game and made to sign an NDA so I wouldn’t talk about any top secret stuff that they don’t want you guys to know yet. I can, however, tell you that it looks fantastic and it’s modern, yet still retains the look and feel of the older games. Although with a 2D style, all the characters are in full 3d and...
