Jet Set Radio HD

Tune into Jet Set Radio

New details have emerged about Jet Set Radio HD. Originally for the Dreamcast, this version of the game will feature 70% of the original Dreamcast music and the extra levels seen in the US version of the game. You’ll also be able to control the camera with the right analogue stick but oddly you won’t be able to share tags online like you could over SegaNet in the original. Expect to be able to download it for consoles and PC soon. Related: SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection review, Sega Mega Drive Classics Collection review

SSX

SSX review

I never really got into SSX when it was out on previous consoles but since then I’ve actually taken up snowboarding in real life so was keen to try out this reboot of the game which means I can try out all sorts of gravity-defying stunts and not have to be escorted down the mountain in what they call a blood wagon. The story is pretty straight forward. A dude called Griff who’s part of SSX team has gone rogue, presumably for more money and sponsorship gear, so it’s up to the remaining members to take to the slopes to...

Dead Space 3 to be powered by Battlefield 3

After DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine has been used in Battlefield 3 and farmed out to other games such as Need for Speed: The Run, there are now rumours that it may also be used in Dead Space 3. Although not announced by EA, rumours abound that it’s happening thanks to job postings at EA’s Visceral studios and DICE’s rendering architect Johan Andersson tweeting that he’s off to visit a whole bunch of Frostbite-powered EA studios, the first one being Montreal where Visceral are based. Of course this is all conjecture but it Frostbite 2 is indeed powering Dead Space 3...

Mass Effect 3 sales figures higher than expected

Electronic Arts will be happy with pre-orders of Mass Effect 3. They’ve smashed all expectation they’ve had for the third in the sci-fi action RPG series and are way ahead of those of Mass Effect 2. They have been campaigning pretty heavily though, with a live action TV advert and even this week launching copies of the game into space with GPS trackers for avid gamers to follow and collect when they land! The Mass Effect 3 release date is 2nd March in the US and 9th March in Europe and there will be a full review on the next...

Catherine review

You may feel this is a late review but this game has only just been published in the UK so I’ve only just been able to recently try out infidelity and all the pain it eventually brings. You play as Vincent, a 32 year old guy who feels like things are coming to a head with his current girlfriend Katherine. She wants to get married and settle down but he still likes hanging out in the local bar with his pals. One evening he gets a little tipsy and wakes up next to a hot, if not a little insane,...

LA Noire 2 rumors

After L.A. Noire didn’t quite hit the mark for me, Rockstar may be planning on a sequel. Although Team Bondi who made the game don’t officially exist anymore, Rockstar said they would not ‘count out the possibility’ of a sequel to the detective game with ground-breaking facial motion capture. Of course they’ve got Max Payne 3 and GTA V to get out of the way first but what I really want to see is a sequel to Red Dead Redemption. That would truly be awesome!
