Army of Two

OK hands up if you like co-op mode in games such as Gears of War? I can’t see if you’ve actually got your hands up or not by I know I enjoyed co-op in Gears of War and that means I’ll probably like playing EA’s Army of Two as the whole game is based around this premise. Instead of co-op being a game mode in this one, it’s the actual game as you and a real life partner or adaptive AI soldier use two-man tactics in a third-person warzone to win the battles and make it out alive. The story’s...

Guitar Hero 2 review

It’s time to rock out with Guitar Hero 2. I know this one’s been out on the 360 for some months now but it’s still selling well and I’ve only just got hold of it due to a ‘guitar shortage’. The the neighbours can see and hear me doing all sorts of strange things in my lounge and this time I’m not going to get arrested for it. The premise is simple. You look at a fret board on screen as lots of coloured blobs that correspond to the five coloured buttons on your guitar work their way down. Hit...

Bioshock review

This is a game I’ve been excited about for months ever since I had a brief playtest of the game on the PC. I’ve now got my hands on the full game on the 360 so let me tell you what it’s all about. Set in the 1960s, you’re a passenger on a plane that suddenly ditches into the water. You emerge from the burning fuselage to find a tower in the middle of the sea with a pod inside it. Of course, not wanting to hang about and smell the burning fumes, you pull the lever inside and plunge...

Blue Dragon review

This one’s a classic-style Japanese RPG on the Xbox 360. Japanese developers have mainly ignored Microsoft’s console and stuck to making games for the PS2 but this one, even before its release in Japan, was being hailed as the big RPG for Microsoft which should change the attitudes of all you RPG-ers out there. It’s got the dudes who created Final Fantasy, wrote the music and the character designer who worked on the Dragon Quest games and the cult classic Chrono Trigger so it better be good. The game begins with a big purple cloud rolling over a small village...

Halo 3 Epsilon

It seems another Halo 3 Beta test is underway but only in secret if you’re invited to be part of the exclusive member trying it out. Sound like the Freemasons. Xbox Live players have reported seeing other players indulging in a bit of Halo 3 Epsilon. An anonymous email has also confirmed that Epsilon is a new build of the beta complete campaign mode to try out. Are you jealous yet, are you, are you?

Chronicles of Riddick

It’s just been revealed that Starbreeze’s remake of the fantastic Chronicles of Riddick for next-gen consoles won’t be coming out now until 2008. The game already looked stunning on the original Xbox so it’ll be interesting to see how it will fare on the 360 and PS3. No reason’s been given for the delay, so I’ll make one up. Er, they lost the code down the back of the sofa?
