Shadows of the Damned review

Suda 51 is mental. I know because I’ve met him and I mean that in a nice way. Although I didn’t ‘get’ No More Heroes, I was much more intrigued by Shadows of the Damned when I watched the announcement trailer because I also like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez movies. This is basically one of those movies with the gameplay mechanic of Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill’s soundtrack and somehow it works. You play as Garcia Hotspur as you enter hell to rescue your dead girlfriend Paula from a demon called Fleming. I know, he doesn’t sound scary...

Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D review

I first had a go on Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D on board a parked bus at the launch event of the Nintendo 3DS in Amsterdam. There we got to play on a whole bunch of games and inside the bus they were showing off Mercenaries. I had a little play on it and was immediately impressed at how good it looked. The controls on the other hand I found a little bit tricky but I did only get a couple of minutes on it, plunged straight into a battle against lots of infected zombie people. This time around I’ve...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3D review

Ocarina of Time is one of those games that has passed me by over the past 10 years. I never got round to playing it on the N64 and I even downloaded it on the Wii’s Virtual Console and it’s been sitting there ever since unplayed. I suppose you’ll also scoff when I say I’ve never seen any of the Godfather movies and refuse to watch School of Rock. I’m just not interested. In fact, I’ve never really got fully into any of the proper console Zelda games and have actually preferred the various versions on the Gameboy Advance and...

InFamous 2 review

Although the first Infamous game was admittedly very good, I never finished it because along came Prototype about a week later and completely took me away from it. Now electric guy Cole is back and Alex Mercer isn’t here in time to distract me. If you liked the first game you’ll definitely get off on InFamous 2 because it’s basically exactly the same game, only with a lick of paint and improved powers. The game begins with Cole battling a gigantic beast, losing and then fleeing to the South to recharge his batteries and prepare for another big battle as the...

Hunted The Demons Forge review

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge offers something quite different to the usual fantasy-based game, in that it’s not an RPG set across a sprawling landscape or a straight up hack ’n’ slash title where your stab at your joypad’s buttons until your fingers bleed. Instead, they’ve taken a similar co-op gameplay mechanic to the Gears of War games and made a game that is a joy to play, despite not having quite the polish you’d see from a game made by Epic. You trundle through the dungeons and towns of the land of Kala Moor as either a female elf called...

LA Noire review

You’ve probably seen the trailers for L.A. Noire which show how they did the facial capture which gives the most lifelike characters ever seen in a game. Well, now the game’s out and I’ve finally got to see if it just looks good or plays good as well. The verdict is the gameplay is simple but it does grab you and not let you go as you attempt to solve a variety of homicides that of are of course linked to a greater story ark. You play the game as Cole Phelps, (the very definition of good cop) as you...
